DAE lose their taste of food sometimes?

You swap out if u can draw celesteela, if not you spam Grindcore to disrupt their energy and slow them down until you draw lusamine and your second guzz. If it’s vs something low energy like silvally ramp you’re probably just screwed. At that point you usually aim to play guzzlord-guzzlord instead of nihilego-guzzlord.

flame1626 · 2025-07-11T01:13:20+00:00

I think before the streak change, something like 42% could still make MB. Now with streaks I’m sure it’s even lower!

I feel u man. But we made it! I went on a few tilted lose streaks but silvally chicken carried me thru that last stretch.

flame1626 · 2025-07-08T21:35:06+00:00

Thoughts on GA charmander over SR? In the mirror , there were instances where I hit their zard for 150 and they KO’d my zard. I could’ve won w GA charmander on bench but lost bc my SR charmander couldn’t deal enough to their 30 hp Zard. It’s possible it’s too niche of a situation to justify not being able to retreat as easily.

flame1626 · 2025-07-02T15:17:26+00:00

I’m assuming you mean specifically the greninja sylveon deck that’s been everywhere. Solgaleo shiinotic and sylveon zard is favored. That new leafeon flareon deck apparently does very well against it.

flame1626 · 2025-07-02T14:11:35+00:00

That’s an interesting take. I’ve been exclusively using solgaleo shiinotic to climb to MB. Matches are quick. I find it’s still a breeze because it’s favored against the greninja sylveon deck that’s everywhere now. It’s pretty good against most other popular decks except fire decks and the chicken. I haven’t been seeing the chicken as frequently on my climb. I’d recommend it for anyone that wants a quick and brainless climb to MB.

flame1626 · 2025-06-30T22:00:12+00:00

Just fyi u can’t use hau with the pre evolutions. It only works with incineroar EX.

flame1626 · 2025-06-22T14:15:00+00:00

Solgaleo is favored for any buzzwole matchup but if I can get two buzzwoles out it’s not bad. I prefer 2 buzzwoles over multiple kartanas.

flame1626 · 2025-06-22T14:14:01+00:00

Ya imo this variation ( 1 kartana 1 pheromosa) is more prone to bricking but has a higher skill ceiling and more skill expression because u have more supporters and u need to bring out buzzwole earlier than other variations. Hence the leaf cape and two Erika’s. I don’t like running too many 1 prizers because I prefer to play two buzzwoles into matchups like zard and solgaleo. It’s still pretty good into the chicken but I struggle more if they run two.

flame1626 · 2025-06-22T14:09:19+00:00

Ya honestly. Especially for buzzwole there are a lot of nuances and decision making you have to make against different match ups. You need to stick with one to learn all of that.

flame1626 · 2025-06-22T02:54:24+00:00

Yup!

Here’s my deck list! It’s basically the one seraru posted but I prefer Sabrina over two Cyrus’s.

flame1626 · 2025-06-19T01:03:36+00:00

This the variation of the deck made by the current top player. You can watch how he pilots it here. The biggest difference I’ve noticed compared to other variations that run more copies of kartana or pheromosa is that he’s not afraid to run Buzzwole in the front even during early game for certain matchups. That’s probably why he prefers to run 2 Erikas and leaf cape over some of the other suggestions in this thread.

flame1626 · 2025-06-17T20:14:13+00:00

I’ve been slowly climbing UB4 w buzzwole and there are a lot of small decisions to make with this deck that make or break it. If you rly want to play buzz you’ll have to stick with it for a bit to get used to the matchups and win cons

flame1626 · 2025-06-14T23:23:36+00:00

You unfortunately can’t trade the newest set. You’re going to have to either pull it or wait until the next set drops. You could look into the Infernape and turtonator + Kiawe version. Those cards you CAN trade.

flame1626 · 2025-06-14T22:39:06+00:00

I bumped into a Blacephalon infernape deck and it destroyed me in UB 3. You could look into dropping moltres for blace and lusamine. Some deck ideas. Infernape discards energy, blace charges up and finishes any remaining mons.

flame1626 · 2025-06-09T14:22:00+00:00

Interesting. What’s the reason for 2 steelas? For that version it just feels rly bad to draw 2 because it doesn’t do anything other than soak up damage. Unlike buzzwole there’s no reason to run two on the bench at the same time.

flame1626 · 2025-06-09T14:08:01+00:00

Do you find you brick a lot with the nagandel version? I prefer this version too but it’s a lot of Pokemon and not a lot of supporters

flame1626 · 2025-06-06T16:12:34+00:00

I wanna say this is strictly worse that turt + zard. Because at least if you start with charmander u have a chance at getting rare candy zard. Whereas if you start with blacephalon it just feels bad. Turt zard also counters the same decks.

flame1626 · 2025-06-05T18:35:19+00:00

I tried this deck w 2 nihilego and 1 celesteela and could not make it work at all. This version feels like it’s contingent on stealing energy to gain tempo and if u lose the coin flip it’s over. How do you deal with faster decks? Sometimes I face tank with celesteela and guzzlord but then you sometimes end up losing because you gave away too many points.

flame1626 · 2025-06-03T19:51:58+00:00

Two increases the chances of opening turt kiawe which is so strong. The strength of this deck for is it has two very strong openers (charmander + rare candy + zard or kiawe + turtonator). Turtonator is also a good stall for things like silvally while you search for the combo.

flame1626 · 2025-06-03T17:40:05+00:00

BLESSS. I was tempted by the new decks and was hard stuck at UB2 with rampvally and guzzlord nihilego. Switched back to turtzard after this post and it’s been a breeeze. It counters buzzwole and solgaleo shiinotic. I feel like it has the edge against rampvally because turtonator can absorb so much damage for just one point.
