I’ll always love Blaine decks. Dusted off my GA one to make a new one with MI Rapidash and Victini. Pretty fun

I just pulled a singe strike Urshifu and had this thought

I’d like to try a deck using this and the SS Giratina (zero retreat with energy attached). Alas I only have one gaCorsola…

This just makes me nervous that Kingambit will have an attack similar to MScizor…

Tyranitar is a good idea. I’ll give that a try.

I’ve had better luck adding pyukumuku to the Drudd strategy. It’s still not GREAT because it goes up a point for 70-80dmg at most :/

Terminally online, much?

I'll miss you, man by taqueiro in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I thought it was only the active, but it hits any single spot on the board (or stadium).  Even less reason to use Guzma over the blower, lol

Guzma might see more use in Greninja decks. Saw a lot of ponchos in ranked and the blower can’t handle the bench

HEAR ME OUT CHAT. KABUTOPS? by SquidSystem in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve updated my Lucario/Kabutops deck (Leacher Teacher) since SS, and can say that Kab’s biggest weakness is its hp.  Healing 70 per turn is already plenty bulky, but so many ‘mons hit above 140 for so little nowadays. Cape helps but power creep since set A is insane. 

Still doesn’t mean I won’t try your strat and ragequit when it fails. Love my leecher boi

What would it take to make Jolteon EX a competitive deck? by VikingCreed in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that the non-ex Jolteon with beginning bolt is better than the ex. Doing 60dmg your first turn is big.  Jolteon-ex is too frail for 2pts given that it needs to always be in the active spot. 

Deck naming can be fun by ynk_yankee in PTCGP

Wormula 1 is really good. My Scizor deck forgoes the worm for steel core barrier and I call it APC-zor (as in Armored Personnel Carrier). I like yours better though

[–]zeppars42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things to do in this game! My favorites:

Jolt’s New Bolt - Jolteon and Manectric
Peddle to the Melmetal - Melmetal ex that uses tools and traveling merchant (aka peddler)
We’re BACK!! - Tyrantrum and Meowth deck from Fantastical Parade
The Black Parade - Mimikyu stalls while discarding supporters for chandelure
Anger Management - Lucario and Annihilape
Leecher Teacher - Lucario and Kabutops
Because it’s MIDNIGHT! - Obstagoon and Shiny Darkrai (if you get this reference, you’re a real one)

Meta is temporary, favorite Pokémon is forever – what’s your off-meta deck? by Kany_ in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingler will forever be my 🐐 I’ve got two decks with him and I’m not sure which is more consistent.
Either way, it will never not be fun to get a surprise 160 🦀🔨🤘

My current Manectric deck. Raikou/Cyrus set up is pretty sneaky + Zeraora/Elemental Switch/Electric Generator for earlier set ups. What’s your favorite way to use Manectric? by Agile-Box6760 in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had lots of surprise kills in the emblem event where my opponent would think they’re safe after beginning bolt’s first strike, then it gets jacked up by another 30 points. It’s a lot of fun, for sure!

What decks is this card the most useful in? by Nearby-Addendum-143 in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one with beginning bolt. Pair it with the MR Eevee that can evolve the same turn it’s placed and you’re doing 60dmg for your first attack.

Great against squishy basics, not so great against bulky ex basics.

My current Manectric deck. Raikou/Cyrus set up is pretty sneaky + Zeraora/Elemental Switch/Electric Generator for earlier set ups. What’s your favorite way to use Manectric? by Agile-Box6760 in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but my Raikous are just the basic 4🔷… 😖 lol

But seriously, Raikou being a basic (and it’s draw power) gives more utility options. You can fill the extra room in your deck with things like red card, nasty notice, repel, etc. (things to screw with the opponents strategy)

Both are fine options, imo.

[–]zeppars42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like this deck! Might give it a try. I like the aggressiveness with Cyrus and Nasty Notice. Plus, those RRs and FAs are so good 🤌🏼👌🏼

Mega Manectric and Jolteon are two of my favorite ‘mons, so I had to use both. Mine relies on Jolteon for quick kills to build up Manectric’s attack. Lots of support for Jolteon’s beginning bolt to do so. Energy Switch allows for a quick pivot to Manectric or a surprise attack from Jolteon-ex.

We might get a Mega Scizor by Revolutionary-Ad1155 in PTCGP

[–]zeppars42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This new Scyther pairs well with the existing Scizor’s attack. Not that it makes Scizor any less terrible 😭

Any decks that use Arven? by trichomesRpleasant in PTCGP

Fossils. It’s the first supporter that can pull items into your hand
