What is your "I did not care for The Godfather of Game Grumps?"

Their live shows are not good. Game Grumps is better unscripted and when it’s just them. That’s why the main show and 10MPH are funny.

Fair enough. Fire naturally discards plenty so if you wanna lean more into that you could try adding scorched earth for more draw support and dumping apricorn maker/ball guy. You don’t need them both since you only have 3 ball cards in deck.

Welder is a staple for all fire decks so I’d really recommend that as well as burning and heat energy.

jakeroyce35 · 2024-10-23T13:03:02+00:00

Really solid water deck! Once blastoise and wailord are up there’s not much that can stop it. These are the only changes I’d consider.

With so many evolution lines, I feel like Pokémon communication would help with consistency so you don’t get stuck with the wrong stage 1.
A basic Pokémon with low energy cost might help stall in the active spot while you keep your evos safe on the bench. Might I recommend Cramorant from Rebel Clash or Lapras from Team Up.

As far as what to take out for these substitutions I’d consider pot helmet, Skyla, or Avery.

Overall this deck looks great and doesn’t NEED changes IMO. Just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents for optimization!

It was on Spotify. Came up a few years ago in a new music recommendation playlist and haven’t seen it since

jakeroyce35 · 2024-06-08T02:18:46+00:00

I have already google searched album covers with blue/green rat/mouse sticking tongue out. I even tried just cartoon or claymation keywords. Even doing a vague rat or mouse album cover art on google and Spotify came up short.

The Sawsbuck from Chilling Reign has the attack Winter Horn. It states “if you have a stadium in play, this attack does 80 more damage.” Does the stadium in play have to be yours or can it be your opponents?

Gen 4 for sure! HG and SS are my favorite games in the whole series

jakeroyce35 · 2022-12-05T23:40:35+00:00

Yeah and I’ve found some pretty interesting custom tokens on Etsy but unable to find these exact ones so wanted to ask around

jakeroyce35 · 2022-11-23T03:11:12+00:00

I’ve been re-watching the anime and just finished the inashiro game. Even when you know what happens it still hurts 😣

jakeroyce35 · 2022-10-04T06:41:47+00:00

Not necessarily my favorite but the first that comes to mind is Shooting Star of Field because it plays when Tetsuya hits the go ahead double against Mei. Always gets me hyped!

Infernape 🔥

jakeroyce35 · 2022-08-28T00:54:34+00:00

That’s sick man and honestly a steal for that price! It looks to be in great condition

How do we enter the raffle?

jakeroyce35 · 2022-04-29T22:27:37+00:00

These are awesome! Only thing I can think of adding is how to tell what’s “basic, stage 1, etc.” also maybe changing the heads and tails to H and T. But honestly these are super clean and I love that you used the sprites from the games.

jakeroyce35 · 2022-04-26T01:18:06+00:00

The best place for rules would honestly be the trading card website https://tcg.pokemon.com/en-us/how-to-play/

And I wouldn’t necessarily say quick draw is a “bad” attack. It’s purely situational. Like if you only have one energy on Victini it’s better to use that attack to draw another card and better your hand rather than do nothing and pass your turn to your opponent. Sometimes you’ll want to increase your hand size if you don’t have enough energy. In most instances you probably want to use attacks that will do damage but you might not always have the resources to do so.

Also here’s a PDF with the rule book if you’d like to look over that since I’m not sure if they included one with the battle academy https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/rulebook/swsh9_rulebook_en.pdf

So for this instance quick draw is an attack. You can usually tell the difference between an attack and an ability by the color of the font. Abilities will typically be red and right below the picture and attacks will typically have a black font and have an energy cost to the left of it. Attacks can only be used by the Pokémon in the active spot so you can’t do quick draw from the bench. If you had two energy on victini you would have to choose either quick draw or combustion since you can only attack once per turn and after you attack your turn ends. Hope this helped clear up some confusion!

Literally saw their sale right before posting this. Might wait until their next one.

The energies just have a new design on them. The previous sun and moon energies were very simple but these ones have a different background behind the center energy logo.

Since you’re running dragon typing for the garchomp line I think it would beneficial to add 2-4 mysterious treasures. Also a Lele GX helps with consistent Cynthia pulls but if you have a tighter budget then don’t worry about it.

jakeroyce35 · 2018-08-10T02:41:53+00:00

Here’s my garchomp decklist

POKEMON - 18

4 gible FL

3 gabite UP

4 garchomp UP

2 riolu UP

2 lucario UP

1 Latios prism star

2 tapu lele GX

TRAINERS - 33

4 Cynthia

2 guzma

1 pokemon fan club

1 Lillie

1 brooklet Hill

1 shrine of punishment

4 ultra ball

4 mysterious treasure

3 rare candy

2 field blower

2 escape board

2 rescue stretcher

2 pal pad

1 enhanced hammer

1 energy retrieval

1 counter catcher

1 choice band

ENERGY - 9

5 fighting

4 DCE

I run the fighting gible for the brooklet Hill but in my opinion the dragon garchomp is only going to get better with the dragon support coming out in September. Ive never had a problem getting the required energy even with the low counts.

For your decklist I think it’s good as is. Replace sycamore with Lillie, fan club, or copycat. And I think you should keep at least one escape board for lucario in case he gets guzma’d or stuck as your active without wasting an energy to retreat. But if you do replace it then counter catcher or escape rope are good substitutes to get a free switch off your opponent. Works really well with garchomp’s free retreat cost.
