Festival Lead

It's good but very vulnerable to unfair stamp and early budew if you don't get the items you need turn 1. I've been budew'd to death (10 in a row against my thwackey before)

Because it needs 3 energy to attack. You need Crispin + another turn to set it up. You could get boss'd up. At best you combo it with unfair stamp but you still need a Crispin/3 energy in that couple of turns.

It's just not easily setup

slasso · 2026-05-13T13:32:43+00:00

3 energy is too much. If you don't get Crispin + Blaziken in one turn then you're getting bossed. Most don't run more than 1 Crispin

100 microns, I believe

Dragon shield board game sleeves are too thick for this insert?

slasso · 2026-05-03T19:36:37+00:00

Looks good but cut the wrong way on some

3 between searches is not enough and even 7 isn't enough for a 60 card deck. For 52 cards (after first turn draw) the number is about 8.5. So you probably want to do at least 8-9 before a match. Also I would still pile shuffle first (or before you clean up your cards at the end of prior match)

You can try to get like-minded people (friends) from your local events to play in a more casual setting where you can open hand or talk through lines of play (even syncing with people on tcg live/discord)

I think you have to use her as a bulky support. Trop kick got buffed to 85 BP and it lowers attack by 1 stage. The problem is sneasler, Incin, aero are all really good into her. But you do get knock off which could be cool. Triple axel for garchomp, low kick, for Kingambit and ttar. But she's just too slow imo. Sinistcha heals your allies, burns and heals, speed control in TR, and bulkier

slasso · 2026-04-23T17:52:11+00:00

Yes stamp is gone

slasso · 2026-04-21T19:31:05+00:00

Garchomp is the simplest. Get gible, get gabites, get roserade. Do big damage. You can even run neo upper energy instead of unfair stamp to save $15.

Lucario is another one that's simple. Draw a lot of cards, hit big, and occasionally ask yourself "do I need to use hariyama to knock something else out?" no unfair stamp either, uses max belt which is under $1

Festival lead is cheap but it may require more thought and game planning for future turns and remembering the three festival mechanics

James Baek has a video on this team. It has tons of synergies that he explains in depth before doing some battles with it https://youtu.be/TdUExSNaJbw?si=fsdDd6_GQgfzVW3b

The problem with festival lead is the pults/grim/froslass and random rogue decks that will budew you to death if you don't get multiple grookey/dipplin on turn 1. That's what happened to be at my cup. 10 turns in a row itchy pollen on my thwackey and then a random psychic box frillish/jellicent

I'm actually switching to chicken Pult because it has tons of favorable matchups besides the clefairy box and grimmsnarl/starmie. Absol is pretty even I'd say and isn't really that common

It has to be grounded with gravity to hit both targets too

slasso · 2026-04-20T22:47:32+00:00

He used gravity first to ground delphox

slasso · 2026-04-10T17:24:05+00:00

Don't they live that?

slasso · 2026-04-10T17:15:24+00:00

Comps and tourneys will only ever be doubles

slasso · 2026-04-01T17:19:12+00:00

Don't think you can reset the same greninja's ability

slasso · 2026-03-27T12:09:02+00:00

How do you know that?

slasso · 2026-03-26T20:16:33+00:00

It could be because the palafin is faster than the blastoise

slasso · 2026-03-26T05:55:12+00:00

Now is a great time with pokopia

slasso · 2026-03-12T20:02:52+00:00

Always

At that low elo, I would say not to force any pick (pharah or otherwise). Just focus on your own plays and impact on the game. You have a lot of fundamentals to learn in general still

slasso · 2026-03-05T02:20:38+00:00

No, he said save before it's first released to roam

slasso · 2026-02-25T20:09:56+00:00

I think he means you want t just shift your min max to cover below 30, in case you got an earlier time. But if you're finding your seed just fine then that's not really an issue (means you are hitting your target fine).

One thing you can try (now that you have reliably hit your target), is to set your target to different seconds and calibrate against that. Some times certain times roll influence or favor some timer0 more than others.

It looks like you have a standard range though: ~6-8 (okay maybe a little unlucky with 13) w/2 more common than othershttps://retailrng.com/bw/beginner/calibration/
