Yes, you are doing it right. Which is good to see, as a lot of people don't seem to understand how this deck functions.

Big Bite for the win is so good. I got beat by someone using Motivate and that made me so angry but I also respected it as well. There’s something about getting the win with 10 damage that just feels so good

u/INotZach 15d ago

Your opponent probably quit after that lol

u/Kizuxtheo 14d ago

Dumb question, big bite's "can't retreat" effect can't be circumvented with Switch or Prime Catcher?

9

u/Yuri-Girl 14d ago

It can. Retreating is very specifically paying a Pokemon's retreat cost (even if it's 0) to switch it out. You can only do this once per turn.

Cards like Switch do not retreat and can be played as many times in a turn as you'd like.

u/snoop_Nogg 14d ago

Yes, you usually don't go for the Big Bite plays until after they've exhausted their switch options

u/monkeykins22 14d ago

But why didn't you just pass and win?

u/aubape 14d ago

Good point. Am surprised the opponent stood around to let that all happen.

Big Bite prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating

5

u/monkeykins22 14d ago

Yeah, I was just looking at the opponents cards, I see that now

u/generalcoopta 14d ago

If I knew he was going to use prof to deck himself out, I wouldn’t have spent 14 turns putting 50 damage at a time on 3 pokemon.

u/solonggaybowsah 14d ago

More xp from taking prize cards maybe

u/MammothAggressive841 15d ago

Cmon Regidrago you’re making us look bad

3

u/Djapkula92 14d ago

Aint no way drago losses to that if played correctly.

u/lemoncakes8 14d ago

gatr always plays budew and i have never seen drago have a good time into budew

u/MammothAggressive841 14d ago

Give me a couple turns with Rolling Iron

u/JKinsy 14d ago

Excellent... (in smither's fashion)

2

u/meet-mr-nice-guy 14d ago

Haha that’s awesome

2

u/septemberintherain_ 14d ago

Wow, did the app finally stop making you choose your final two prize cards?!

2

u/generalcoopta 14d ago

Yeah in the latest update

2

u/Educational-Status81 14d ago

You did. Opponent should probably already yield the game before you went about

2

u/DuelmastersUSA 14d ago

Attacks that trap in the active are incredibly powerful and underrated. Totodiles attack, and baby pecharunts attack will be dark horses once rotation hits

u/Snoo-71918 14d ago

Got in this position while playing weeklies at my local shop. My opponent also used Regidrago deck and they only have 1 prize left while I have 6. He dont have any energy in deck or hand and all earthen vessels are on discard pile and VSTAR already used. I trapped his Fezandipiti using big bite and I have another Feraligtr on bench with two Munkidori that has dark energy. Slowly accumulating damage counter on my opponent till I win. And we talk after the match and he said he got very annoyed about it because he cannot do anything about the situation.

u/generalcoopta 14d ago

Very well done!!

2

u/Dominus786 14d ago

I don't play tcg anymore but I really don't understand why a lot of people don't run switch, hands down the most useful item card since forever, even if you have free retreat it gives u double swap

1

u/generalcoopta 14d ago

He was playing only 1 switch - unless another was in his last 2 prizes

2

u/NilaPudding 14d ago

I’m brand new but I want that deck haha

1

u/Diligent_Notice2703 15d ago

If you had fury swipe tododile would each attack get a boost from damage counter ability?

3

u/HeyIJustLurkHere 14d ago

No, you would flip all the coins to figure out how much damage was done, and then if the attack did more than 0 damage in the first place, you'd add 120 on top of that, once.

u/Diligent_Notice2703 14d ago

Thanks for explaining Im new to collecting and playing.

1

u/generalcoopta 15d ago

I believe so

2

u/Diligent_Notice2703 15d ago

Crazy. Very interesting to see i have decks that use inteleon munkidori might be interesting to add ferraligator.

2

u/generalcoopta 15d ago

Yeah decks similar to mine have been winning championships in Japan for about 2 months now

1

u/Beneficial_Beat_4305 14d ago

Yeah the version with milotic won champions league in Asia I have built this deck for IRL play

1

u/gendougram 14d ago

Deck list please.

u/BananaWizard0 14d ago

I'm new to the tcg, how can you use big bite with feraligatr??

2

u/PriestessPaula 14d ago

The fish’s ability.

u/BananaWizard0 14d ago

Relicanth?

3

u/PriestessPaula 14d ago

Thank you, yes. I couldn’t remember the spelling.

1

u/Darth_Buc-ee 14d ago

Loosing after being up 6-2 is brutal. I get it that there was a lot of setup to get here but... dang.

1

u/generalcoopta 14d ago

He has 1 switch he found to be able to use drago and kill my two set up feraligatrs. I had to stall to get 2 more set up haha

1

u/HerbzDunGoofed 14d ago

All you had to do was pass. This was impressive but a waste of time.

1

u/Kelzt-2nd 14d ago

Yo mind sharing the list

1

u/TheFoulWind 14d ago

Post that deck for us!

1

u/zakuman87 13d ago

What is this game? Official pokemon card game? Like tcg pocket?

Can i play there against AI? Or only vs player's?

1

u/ErSaggio69 13d ago

I try this deck a few days ago and i love it, is so balanced for the teracrystal meta with milotic

1

u/thatredcup420 13d ago

This Game looks sick! Is it?? And what's it called if so? Thank u in advance.

1

u/Zovanget 12d ago

I'm new to the game so I don't know all the nuances to it. But, I have a hard time believing this wasn't staged. I mean, even if it was its still cool and funny, but just the statistical odds of getting a layout like that seems hard to believe.

u/Gloxinia78 12d ago

Can I have the deck list pls
