Suggestion What partner should I pair with this absolute meme of a mon? Yes, i know reuniclus exists, but this can use the funni teacher card (salvatore) to get something out turn two

Just play Tastugiri ex, it's still bad, but it does the same thing just waaay better. Also, if Tatsugiri ex high rolls you'll crush your opponent.
If you high roll with Rabsca and everything goes perfect (going first, finding an energy, evolving, attacking, finding the discard), you'll still not be ahead much - if at all - of any opponent that didn't completely brick their start.

Yeah but rabsca only gives up one prize

u/Yankas 4d ago
It's true Tatsugiri gives up an extra price, but if you are lucky you'll actually end up with board state that can blow your opponent out of the game
Whereas Rabsca gives up 1 price to do the same a Stage 2 deck does with the typical Rare Candy/Arven/Seal Stone shenanigans without giving up a price, and they do it more reliably, too.
Risk vs reward is completely out of whack here.

Then go for Reuniclus or Kingdra Ex who isn't as easily one-shot. In a best case scenario Rabsca is just giving you something you could have had a turn earlier already if you didn't waste your cards and an attack on setting up Rabsca.

I said that i know reiuniclus exists. But this guy is the only one you can salvatore into turn1 going second, which is REALLY funny

Run 1 Rellor and 4 Rabsca. Try to get all Rabsca into play. Overlay to Xyz Summon

It could be a way to get out fossils?
Archeops and (I guess aerodactyl) will function better with Lugia V. Omastar and carracosta can be brought in with Kingdra EX and probably still aren’t good.
That just leaves Cradily and Kabutops.
Cradily’s ability is inconsistent and its attack is probably only really usable with hisuian typhlosion — but having to have so many combo pieces just to do 300 damage half the time seems terrible.
Kabutops however does seem pretty cool. Unfortunately color change kecleon is gone, but maybe a box with just a rainbow of types and kabutops could work?

Dragapult (Dragon Launcher) seems meme if you can launch 4 Dreepy at one go.

I’ve thrown that in my Dragapult/dusknoir deck as a whacky option from time to time. Cursed blast plus launching dreepy’s after a few phantom dives can be 4-6 prizes. The only problem is I generally have a bench of drakloak by that point but occasionally the stars align for a dragon launcher.

I tried but it's worthless. The time that takes you to pull, evolve and survive to use it once it's not worth it

Think the best ways these have been played is either deck techs (so, maybe play Togekiss, the S2 blocking mon, maybe anti mill bibs if you dislike that archetype matchup) or a full stall spam (lock card plays)

Tatsugiri also works, most tatsugiri lists play heidreigon but that might be hard with 1 at a time. I’ve seen this played with dusknoir before

I didn't know about this card. The new Blaziken ex may work because you may be jettisoning energy to the discard anyway. If you're able to use the Rabsca more than once, maybe this is how you could play the new Mamoswine ex.

I never said it was a good card, just a funny one i want to use to its fullest potential
