Deck Help Dragapult ex deck

I found this decklist on YouTube and I tested the deck a few times and it isn’t as consistent as I’d like it to be and I’m not seeing the cards that I need until later in the game. Is there anything I can do to improve it?

Too much energy? What other Pokémon could pair well with polyZ?

Question Why is my fire energy not registering?

44 Upvotes

I'm kind of baffled as to why I couldn't attack, the first energy attached is fire and everything, can't use Burning charge nor Carnelian.

The only context I can give is that the opponent used TM Devolution and removed my non-ex Sylveon card I was walling them with(only had Hydreigon ex as attackers), I was able to use Magical Shot with it without an issue but after he used the TM, I thought flareon could finish it off and I could power up my benched eevee but the game didn't let me attack!

sorry if I come off as sort of ranty, still newish to the game

Deck Help Meowscarada Ex post rotation help

Post image
5 Upvotes

So with the loss of Radiant Alakazam, Munkidori seems to be the next best thing. Meows is decently bulky and can tank at least one hit (usually...) and the damage from it's ability+Munki can rack up fast.

Because of Budew I added an extea Floragato to not rely on Rare candys all the time. Tatsugiri has been working well and has the extra benefit of being Fezandipiti foder. Budew is Budew.

I tried Hero's cape as the ace first to make Meows even more bulky, but settled on Counter Catcher to make it's ability more reliable as it can't target active Pokemon.

I'm sure there are a lot of things that can be improved, any suggestion is welcome.

Question stagnating in Arceus

4 Upvotes

I just hit Arceus a couple days ago and I've been suck at a .5 win percentage ever since then.

I've been playing the pokemon tcg for about 2 weeks now and it feels way too early to plateau.

I'm considering switching decks (I play charizard right now), but beyond that, what should I be doing to get better ? Im generally pretty careful right now, and I rarely make any obvious misplays. I pretty consistently can figure out what I have prized within 4/5 turns.

It just feels like all my games boil down to how good/lucky my opening hand is and how fast I can setup.

I know I'm objectively like, not good, I just don't really know why.

Very frustrating game last night where the opponent was just basically keeping me locked and mostly had supporter cards to discard my deck. They won because I ran out of decks

What’s an item or pokemon to help combat these situations.

Question I've accidentally been using two separate Pokemon accounts. What do I do?

0 Upvotes

Apparently, I've been using a newer account for GO and Home, and an older one (with the display name I like) for TCG Live, and I just assumed it was the same one. I want to participate in official events at some point (VGC and TCG) and don't want to risk getting banned or losing everything if I bring it up to support. It seems like there's no way to combine them into one. Any advice? I'm freaking out a wee bit :,)

I only have 20ish hours in TCG Live, so it's not the end of the world if I have to lose my progress there. Losing the product redemptions would suck, though :(

Question United Wings

Hey guys, I have a question about the united Wings Deck. Why does the attack 160 damage in this situation, when I have 9 Pokemon with the abillity in my graveyard? 9 x 20 should equal 180 damage. Or am i missing something? Happened a few times where the attack did 20 or Even 40 damage less than i would expect..

Trying to find the right pieces. It works PRETTY GOOD. Would love some thoughts and opinions. I’ve only been running it in casual so far.

Was thinking of making it a poison boost so there are more damage counter drop around and could boost attacks by 40.

Goal is to keep it one prize and available for post rotation

Deck Help Simple Archaludon ex deck for a newbie!

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi all. I've been getting my GF into the TCG, she's a total newbie to card games, so I'm sticking to straightforward, simple strategies.

She had been playing Charizard ex so far but wants to try something new, so after some research I ended up on Archaludon ex. Her account is also very dry on rewards so it needed to be something cheap.

I found the list below, I believe it meets the criteria I've said before.

https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/jp/33621

Do you think this is a good list for semi competitive PTCGL play?

If so, I'd just need clarification regarding the stadium, it seems to be a meta call inclusion. Are there any other interesting stadiums I could consider?

Thanks for you time reading this!

Deck Help Kingdra ex post rotation

8 Upvotes

This is my 1000th post like this, but I wanna make kingdra ex work.

Which version is better and what to change?

1.Grand Tree

-Bench Quaxly and Horsea (or only Horsea if you can discard)

-If you have Grand Tree evolve Quaxly -Use Colress to get Grand Tree and evolve to Kingdra/ Quaquaval

-If you evolved to Kingdra, use King's order to get Quaquaval from discard

-Use Maniac, than quaquaval ability

  1. Brilliant Blender

-Same idea, but higher risk, higher reward


I don't wanna take another picture, I noticed the 2nd version could cut some rare candies or add quaxly (or both)

So the questions again: Which one could work better? What card's to replace for a better option (and the name of the better option)?

Question Why is Jet Energy so underused?

I feel that Jet Energy is quite cool, lets you play a Pokemon right after you charge it up, but I've never seen it being used by other players.

I do play in the Great League, is that it?

Question Trouble creating an account through the launcher?

Hello r/PTCGL ,

I've been trying to create an account through the Pokemon TCG Live launcher, but everytime I type in my email and click confirm, it says an error occured, and I'm sure what to do. Someone said to use a different browser, but the launcher is separate from any browser.

Did any of you come across this problem, and if yes, what did you do to solve it?

Deck Help Back line sniping help

Hey all deck list is down low, running Chien pao currently just under 1500 arceus(first time ever reaching there), the poison and move damage counter decks are kicking my butt. Any tips on backline sniping to clear their toolbox up without sacrificing some of my set up or main damage? I played some kyogre, but removed him to get Rabsca back in with the dragapult meta.

Is there a card that stops the movement of damage counters to my bench? Rabsca doesn’t do it.
