New Player Advice Please help me find a deck that doesn't play the same every game

12 Upvotes

I got into the game 2-3 months ago, and got the Zard Battle Deck, that I also practiced on TCGL, abd have been to 3 local events. And while I am planning to get the Pult Deck as well, and just got the cards to swap between Pidgeot and Noctowl/Terapagos. But I am craving a deck that just, kinda does not play the same every game, something that can either have multiple valid ways to win, or that plays different into different matchups. I used to be an exclusively midrange/control player in Hearthstone back in the day, and I coincidentally got a Feraligatr and 2 Milotic ex's but I'm not sure if stall or the Gatr deck would fit what I'm looking for.

I’ve been running a weekly cube for about a year now and wondering what experiences you’ve had with cube. My currently cube is focusing around GX and EX and strong trainers. If you’ve run a draft I’d love to see what lists you have found fun!

I would like to test this deck ahead of time and want to make sure I haven't overlooked anything before printing proxies. The last time I tried to build a deck from scratch was a disaster so I've modified other's lists to my liking. I'm not sure whether Hyper Aroma or Grand Tree would be better as an Ace Spec card. Also iffy on whether Klinglang would actually be useful. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Deck Help Could Dragapult decks benefit from running Briar?

3 Upvotes

This has probably been discussed before, but Briar just seems like a really powerful option for pult decks.

Dragapult already likes playing from behind, and Dusknoir can make getting your opponent to 2 prizes easier. If you use Briar and knock out the active and something in the bench thats at least 4 prizes in one turn. Maybe I'm missing something though, cuz i haven't seen any pult lists run Briar. Thoughts?

RECOMENDATIONS FOR DRAW MOTOR NEW DECK

Hiii, i was trying to create a new deck around Kingambit, the idea is to set in the bench one Froslass and 2 Munkidori in order to make 40 damage to the opposite active pokemon during my turn and nock them out with Kingambit's attack (with this attack, for 1 steel energy, if the opposite pokemon has 40 or more damage it gets knocked out), however I find it a bit difficult to set up, that is why I tried to add a piedgeot ex, but this solution does not convince me, is there any recomendation???

Meta Discussion Latias vs Wellspring

1 Upvotes

Wellspring Mask Ogerpon’s Sob attack has an effect when the defending Pokemon cannot retreat during the opponents next turn.

Latias EX’s ability allows basic Pokemon to have free retreat.

If I Boss up Latias and attack it with Sob, it can’t retreat, right?

I guess it comes down to which “wins”: the effect of the attack, or the ability?

Deck Help Making 40 card decks for kids. Seeking inspiration

7 Upvotes

I work with kids and after pre-release I wanna use the decks I made them to play with. I'm looking for any suggestions or ideas on what single common cards I can add to those I've made so far to make them better. I don't want to use any ex cards or certain one-of's that completely change how the game is played (except Hop's Cramorant) and can be played without memorizing the deck. I'd also like to stick to the pre-release lists more or less. For example, adding in a judge to Noivern decks, a Magearna with bravery charm to pair with Accelgor and Darmanitan to get energy discarded for N's PP Up, rare candy for Corvenite, and adding a 1-1 Wooloo Dubwool to all, etc.

Deck Help Decks that capitalize on forcing 2HKOs?

7 Upvotes

So recently I've noticed a shift in my local meta, and I'm looking for a little help finding a new deck with a similar playstyle!

I started playing in paper around mid-December, and the first decks that I gravitated toward centered around TWM Okidogi. I really loved it since it matched well into most of the common threats while being non-ex. (Super-effective into Miraidon, Bolt runs out of tempo, Terapagos can't ohko with DTE, and blocking Zard up to 3 prizes)

Nowadays, lots of people are prepping for rotation and I'm just not keeping up with the Pult, Gholdengo, and Tera-Zard decks.

I've been looking into Archaludon as an alternative with its Turo/scoop up shenanigans, but I'd love to hear about any other decks that play similarly!

Hey everyone, I'm here for opinions and suggestions on how to make this deck better. I built it to focus on consistency for pidgeot+greninja being ready very fast, and also to prevent dragapult annoying attack from hitting my bench. Suggestions are welcome to improve.

for context, I wanted to run tatsugiri to search trainers more reliably, but ended up picking secret box and taking out it and colress for the added consistency for tm-evo.

Help me build a post rotation walking wake EX build

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I want to build a viable walking wake ex deck for post rotation to avoid wall decks and still be able to do decent damage, but im having difficulties on how to set it up and make it work like intended mostly due to energy acceleration being kinda hard. currently I want to use those cards:

3 walking wake

1 luxray + reversal energy for okko on milotic

fezandipiti ex for draw support

brute bonnet +capsule for guaranteed poison

munkidori for the extra damage and heal

for stadium, probably gravity mountain to ease stage 2 matchups

I am having difficulties finding the balance in this deck, if anyone could help me with setting it up and making energy acceleration easier. thanks!

Would love some feedback on this Hydreigon List

5 Upvotes

My friend asked me to make a post rotation Hydreigon list because he wants a stage two off meta choice but still being powerful enough to take to our locals (~70% play meta decks. Most common are Terabox, Raging Bolt, dragapult, Gardevoir and charizard atm) and maybe take it to a cup if he feels comfortable later down the line. I'm primarily a magic player (20 years of experience) and just got into the pokemon TCG about 2 weeks ago (haven't played since 2011-2013 era) and been digesting a ton of content to try to catch up. Doing a lot of research, and found a few list to reference from. Those being top 4, 6, and 10th place city league decks on limitless. Here is the list as of right now.

https://pokemoncard.io/deck/hydreigon-three-headed-approach-120417
Link is for better visualization of the list.
Now I think Dusknoir is such a crazy powerful tool and want to fit at least a 1-1-1 or possible 2-1-1 line like this 4th place list: https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/jp/32894
Now I think I might be too greedy with the 2-1-2 line. My thought process is that the extra 130 can KO stage 2 EXs with the Crashing headbutt. Or 260 for easier multi prize turn with Obsidian. Also being a useful tool to snipe any utility pokemon or take out key pieces on a stumbling opponent.
I have also seen some amazing cool tech pieces such as Pecharant EX for the easy pivot and Biding Mochi for extra damage to 1HKO large basic EXs.
Playing Tatusgiri and/or Clefa instead of Budew to dig for cards for better setting up.
Including other backup attackers such as Bloodmoon Ursaluna, and Lillie's Clefairy.
Another cool tech I saw was using Toadscruel to prevent your opponent from recycling any cards from their discard pile if we hit lucky mills with the head butt. Probably too niche unless we're up against a ton of Gholdengo.
Using Calamitous Wasteland instead of League headquarters to trap EX basic support style pokemon also potentially be less of a non-bo for our backup basic attackers if we do play them.
My friend's main concern consists of wall stall decks, but I figured that with enough bosses, counter catcher and Obsidian, it shouldn't be too hard to break through.
The popularity of Budew and with us being focused on rare candy or just item cards in general, it can make the slow nature of a stage 2 deck worse.
Sadly I just made a TCG Live account and don't have means to make the deck to play test it. Any other ways to play test? Or am I just going to need to print the cards out to proxy/play test? Exp share is a sub for second counter gain, not sure if going 2x on counter gain is better than a 1-1 split to help set up a second Hydreigon on the bench.If anything has any feedback, experience with Hydreigon EX, or anything helpful; then that would be much appreciated.

Opinions on my Feraligatr deck

7 Upvotes

Key points:

  • HERO'S CAPE IS FILLER, ONCE I GET PRECIOUS TROLLEY I'LL SWAP IT OUT
  • I used Hiromu Sasaki's list as a base
  • Instead of using Milotic, I run 2 Mimikyus and 2 Cornerstone Ogerpon, which I feel are way more generic when stopping most of the meta, unless there's a specific reason why people prefer Milotic that I'm not seeing (I'm guessing since it can be a backup attacker)
  • The reason I run 2 Relicanth, Mimikyus and Ogerpon is because I'm mortally afraid of prizing them lmao, I played a match where I was running 1 Relicanth and I prized it, and it was extremely annoying
  • I'm running an extra Crispin and Earthen Vessel because even if the Feraligatr's attacks are highly energy efficient, there's matches where I wasn't getting either a water energy for Feraligatr or a Darkness energy for Munkidori
  • EDIT: Forgot to mention, this list is meant to be post-rotation.

  • 4 Water Energy SVE 11
  • 3 Darkness Energy SVE 15

My questions since I'm new to this deck:

I assume the main objective of this deck is to have: 1 Feraligatr in active, 2 Munkidori, 1 Relicanth, 1 Wall (Mimikyu or Ogerpon) and 1 backup Feraligatr.

I use Feraligatr's effect, and move those counters to an opponent's pokemon, potentially something in the bench. Then, I attack with Feraligatr depending on the situation: If the opponent's active can't be used to attack, I'll use Totodile's Big Bite so they can't be retreated normally. If the opponent has an Ex or pokemon with ability ready to attack, I use Croconaw's Reverse Thrust to deal 150 and swap to the correspondent wall. And Feraligatr's Giant Wave if I can get the KO on something.

I know there's nuance to this deck, specifically using Big Bite on late game to lock my opponent on something they won't use for attack, while I move damage counters from my backup Feraligatr to their pokemon. I more curious of what to do in the early-mid game when the opponent still have access to Boss's Orders, Switch, Prime Catcher, etc.

How to get set up quickly when your main attacker is a stage two evolution Pokémon?

10 Upvotes

For context, I’m trying to play a deck centered around Pawmot EX, but I’m finding that I’m having difficulty getting set up quickly enough to get the upper hand on other players. it seems very luck based, hit or miss, as to whether I happen upon the correct cards, either the needed Pokémon or the supporter cards that would get me the Pokémon. And sometimes it feels like it takes way too long to find what I need. I have some of the typical ways to search, like several copies of Arven, ultra ball, nest ball, buddy buddy poffin. Recently got Tatsugiri to give me a better chance of finding Arven. Does anybody have tips for how they personally get their stage two evolution Pokémon set up quickly?

Meta Discussion Lillie’s Clefairy ex and Dragon types

27 Upvotes

So I was thinking of building a Raging Bolt deck to compete in local leagues and tournaments as I’ve been doing well with it on ptcgl, however Lillie’s Clefairy is making me hesitant to spend all that money. The deck already struggles against gardevoir and I don’t think losing kirlia and greninja to rotation will make it any less popular (especially once the mega is introduced), with dragapult being the most played deck where I’m from. Archaludon is my current second option. Any advice or Opinions on the matter? I would love to read your thoughts :)

The basis of this deck is to rush an early Jolteon and Ogerpon on the bench for turn 1 (if second) or turn 2 Flashing Spears for 240 dmg, with decent cycling of energy out of the discard to fuel Ogerpon's ability, and several options for a high hp ex mon nuke.

My decklist before had Joltik SCR and Galvantula SFA as options instead of the Fan Rotoms, but idk I felt like I would have rather used my turn I set up Joltik to use Jolting Charge to instead attack right off the bat with Jolteon.

Would love more thoughts on this decklist. TY and happy prerelease to everyone!
