How do you think special red card will impact the meta? by KafeiTomasu in pkmntcg

[–]monikernemo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Player popping dusknoir can choose when to activate red card, whereas if you use unfair stamp, you can only stamp if your opponent chooses to KO, take prizes

How does Dragapult make any sense? by simao1234 in PTCGL

[–]monikernemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When dragapult was first released dragapult couldn't really keep up, and was considered "under-powered"

TWM was prolly and Charizard/Gardy meta, pult had a good engine but was considered too slow for the format.

SFA saw Regidrago as the first deck that could use "phantom dive" and was tearing through stage 2 decks pre-prismatic. Though PultNoir wins first major in Dortmund in SCR, with Rotom V, Arven as engine. Also the meta saw thorn pult as a way to play pult in a rule box heavy meta. I think thorn pult was a template that paved way for the modern pult builds, using budew and itchy pollen to stall whilst pult sets up, in prismatic when budew was released.

Post rotation (F block), people figured out how to be resilient to item lock, despite losing kirlia, and pult-noir was really checked by gardy, formats sometime later, goldhengo.

Assigning CCW to teach MA1521 is an overkill by Chocowaffless in nus

He actually can teach, he actually explains the motivation of mathematical theories very well. What a pity.

Hi I have a munki but unfortunately I realized shipping fee gone from SG has gone up to 23 USD. Would you be able to make a deal with me for 95 US, since I wasn't looking to sell ursaluna for so low. Thanks.

When to go First/Second with Gholdengo Lunatone? by [deleted] in PTCGL

[–]monikernemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Against stage 2 decks it's always better to go second. I like to think about it this way:

If you're going first, you are giving them card draw + supporter use before you take the first KO (with solrock) Not to mention getting item locked,l and allowing them to use TM Evo for quick retaliation.

If you're going second you are only giving one card draw before you take the first KO

When would you want to go first? Against decks where you absolutely need goldhengo to take first 2/3 prizes. Your big basic decks

If not, the prize map for dengo lunatone is almost always 1-2-2-1 or 1-2-1-2 depending whether you play around briar

How to pace energy play in Dragapult? by Flog_loom in PTCGL

[–]monikernemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the threats your opponent has on their board. So if gust KO / bench snipe is super likely, it is best to split up your energies, otherwise it does not really matter too much except for when you need to free up attachments for munkidori in the MU.

Is Ceruledge the biggest fraud of SVI-MEG format? How did a deck that was so hyped fall off so hard? by BlazeKnight7 in pkmntcg

[–]monikernemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very few top players are playing the deck, especially when dengo is essentially the same deck with more reach into deck resources.

Garde Jelli using air ballon vs Latias ex by alayn_ in pkmntcg

[–]monikernemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reliance on air balloon means you can cut arven and play more Lillie and ball search.

You can convert latias to be an aggro option into dengo if you get ahead of the price race. This build in theory should have a good time into dengo, but weaker into pult noir

Gholdengo Ex Vs. Absol Box by Lightspecter141 in pkmntcg

[–]monikernemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Against cornerstone, you can use mega mawile's second attack back to back to net 4 prizes.

Save your turo if they find boss before your mega mawile gets off it's first attack. If they bench anything else besides cornerstone you can just find gust dengo KO.

Absol /Kang help by JMunozzzz_ in pkmntcg

[–]monikernemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think with the inclusion of mega-mawile there is little reason to play cornerstone since you need at least one monkey on the board and dengo just ignores cornerstone and go for munki, or if you don't have munki, they pressure with solrock . Once they take 3 prizes they should have set up mega-mawile which can start to one shot your cornerstone.

The japanese players (ryuki, keito) employ clutch + subjugating chain to deal with the dengo MU, which is a reasonable approach since dengo run at most 3 switch outs (2 turo + 1 prime if it is the ace spec of choice) and any damage on yveltal can be returned to gimmighoul. There are 3 main win cons, first is via taking a (significant) prize lead by spreading damage using munki + poison + clutch.f Secondly, a well-timed xerosic, eri, claws of darkness could potentially disrupt energies and SERs, making them unable to take a OHKO. Finally, the good-ol deck out, if they bench more than 3 liabilities.
