I changed over to Parrallel Cities in mine for the bench limiting aspect. Helps afainst M-Ray, otherwise good for getting spent Shaymin off your bench on e you set up. As noted a few posts ago, VS seeker hasn't been super helpful to me in this deck either. Have used them enough to warrant...

I've been tinkering with this idea for some time now. Haven't tried to build this myself yet but was thinking 2-1-2 Infernape would be good enough, figuring you're going to have the opportunity to get 2, maybe 3, shots off with Infernape in a game. You have to unload 10 energy each time, and...

Like I said... High-Risk but High-Reward. Haven't tested it since I haven't pulled any Infernape. But if you can get them both in play, and have some switch cards at the ready, this could hit hard. It could also absolutely flop if you either A) can't them them in play in the correct order, or B)...

I think the ideal partner for Infernape is Typhlosion from Breakthrough. Play a high energy count, Typhlosion should be able to discard discard lots of energy, and get some high damage doing it. Once you get to 10, Infernape cones out to take a big shot, shuffles them back in, and now Typhlosion...

There's definitely some tuning needed here. Over half my test games so far have been Shaymin starts, which I know has to just be bad luck more than anything because on paper there's a 1-in-3 chance of that, but I'm at more like 2-out-of-3. Really want a Ninja Boy in here just for that, but...

Togekiss can be inconsistant but it's the ability to get out multiple or recycle them that makes it work. Needs a test with higher HP opponents though, Night March doesn't require Genesect to discard anything to KO, even if it has the Fury Belt. So far though 3 of 4 games I've played I've won...

I said I would post the list I used for this so here it is. Pokemon: 15 3 Genesect EX FAC 3 Shaymin EX ROS 3 Togepi ROS 3 Togetic ROS 3 Togekiss ROS Trainers: 34 4 Prof. Sycamore 2 N 2 Lysandre 2 Wally 1 Hex Maniac 4 VS Seeker 4 Ultra Ball 3 Max Elixir 3 Float Stone 2 Fighting Fury Belt 1...

So just went through my Genesect deck and converted to this. I was running the exact build from Italian Nationals. I'll try to get a list on here of it with the modifications soon for anyone not familiar or unable to locate it. In the meantime google did a good analysis video of this list...

I also play Genesect, and have plenty of Togekiss around to toy with so I'm game to figure this out. 1st thing I want to ask though is why a 3-2-3 line since there are no Rare Candy in the list? I like this idea though so I will start some testing of my own. As far as the energy crisis, what...

In theory Skyla is really a last resort, a precise way to get the missing piece, if you can't via something like a Trainers mail, to get Magnezone out. When I came back to the game, right as Fates Collide came out, I tried Delphox Break. Ultimately it was too slow and clunky and I moved on...

Point taken but since we have a good discussion going lets continue. I'm still on the other side of the Talonflame issue. You have better games when you start with it, and slower games when you don't. Obviously slow games are easy to get behind on and lose, so we don't want those. You have a 50%...

Agreed, but Non-essential is different than unusable though IMO. You also dont have to worry about having them prized if the only way to use it is in place of a starting basic.

I'm no expert on the printing process, but my speculation would be that these were test cards to check alignment, like what you do at home when you replace your ink cartridge. Having a black, rather than yellow, border and a symbol that is slightly off center in both examples makes me think they...

Talonflame is good as fodder for Ultra Ball, but terrible to draw into when you could use litterally anything besides Talonflame. The drawbacks outweigh the benefits to me. You said yourself you have a 50% chance to start with Talonflame, but then you have to realize you have a 100% chance that...

Infernape could have a use in the aspect that you throw away energies with volcanion/scorched earth and then late game when many energies have been exhausted then bring up Infernape and get big damage while recycling energy back into your deck. Really though I think it's too situational though...

I understand it was never intended to be the most competetive deck, and that it was designed with the idea of just being frustrating to play against. I also never said the deck was bad so don't take this or the previous post as though I did, just that I saw a couple things that may lend to...

Couple things I see with this that I feel could be improved or rethought a bit. First is Gliscor in general. If we are using Crawdaunt to move energy off the active Pokemon then wouldn't you want to leave the opportunity for your opponent to attach to the active again so you can bounce it with...

Part of its allure in PTCGO is that it is difficult to get if you missed out on its availability in the shop. It can no longer be bought in the in game store for coins, and those that did use their coins on it when it was available can't trade it because it is locked. There are few unlocked...

I am a player who just returned to the game after a long absence, so I can relate to where you are coming from as far as being concerned about rotation and stocking up on cards that you feel you'll never get use out of. I got out of the game around 10 years ago, for a variety of reasons at the...

This plus no AZ/Scoop Up... Yikes
