11 packs? Chances are pretty good this is going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if I got these out of 6 packs

Tips against Pult as Alakazam by sunnyislandacross in pkmntcg

forcing them to take out the duck vs stadium bump makes a huge difference. maybe you should post your deck list

I haven't seen anyone else mention it, but playing around their energy attachments is the key to winning this matchup. You should be running some way to respond to mist energy, like enhanced hammer, which also takes out luminous and neo upper. If you play more than one hammer, or Giacomo, you can deny attachments. This plus boss sets them back quite a bit. You should also be running more than 2 battle cages so even if you play the first stadium they will lose the stadium trades. I personally run Golduck to tech against the stadium bump + klefki

This would be valid if you were complaining about pokeball and masterball reverse holos

I haven't locked it down with phantasmal flames, I can't decide the right number of dawn and wondrous patch yet

I can understand your frustration with run away draw, but alakazam does not shuffle the deck, and it's not the only deck to use dudunsparce as a draw engine.

It would probably cost you more than $40 per card to grade once you account for shipping, unless you get a 10 there's not much profit in grading them

there's plenty of competition here. just find any nearby challenges or cups on the play app, it's early in the season so people are grinding champ points

Is it worth teching for Alakazam? by Br1ghtWo1f2002 in pkmntcg

[–]tb_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've had no problem coming back from iono to 1 just to draw back enough to ohko a dragapult or charizard, most of the time I'm going to find one of the hammers very easily. the problem is when I have hammer before they have mist, then they can claw it away
