If GXs were still the main gimmick, then Persian would be a really good deck since it could counter pretty much anything, but since ADP is the last really viable GX pokemon, and it's often paired with a V anyway, Persian really just acts a a two-prize bench sitter that is only relevant against...

I've played a ton of Sableye V since it came out, and the most important thing I've learned is that you need multiple avenues to drop counters that dont overlap in method. The current list I run uses Arctozolt and a couple zigzagoon, and I think it works because there are multiple ways you can...

As someone who's done testing with a similar list, I can agree that Heal Jammer Mimikyu is going to be necessary as long as Mallow and Lana is in the format. I personally run a max count of Jirachi, just cuz I'm of the belief that, since it's a starter, you want to be able to get it in the...

I'm not playing the TEU Jirachi though, I'm playing the one with the ability that's very similar to UNB Pidgeotto. If I were, I think that Yell Horn to remove sleep is nice tech I hadn't considered, but I should be able to just use the U-Turn Board anyway since there's no adverse effect that...

A 4-4 Eternatus line seems excessive, so I'd cut down to a 3-3 and bulk up Weavile, maybe even leaning into a secondary mode with Greninja+Zoroark and a bit more energy due to Weavile's flexibilty. This is a mild departure from what I think you're going for, but in this case, you could probably...

@JFlo while I'd like to use Salamence, getting it in and out of the active without using the limited switching resources I'd have in the Vika matchup is a huge concern for me. the underlying idea I had with this deck was fluid motion, and while Vika does dam that up a bit, I'd rather it dam up a...

Orbeelte VMAX is a crad I've been anticipating for a while, and though it's not quite what I hoped for, I think I can definitely make it work. Here's a rough list leaning more heavily into spread and movement over raw damage output with Orb. Pokemon (18): Orbeetle V (3) Orbeetle VMAX (3)...

Since you run all metal pokemon, you might want to consider a one-off Jasmine for burst search on T1GS (Turn 1 going second). You could probably cut a Boss' Orders or Toughness Mantle for it.

@TSA123 while Jirachi sounds nice on paper, I think that the loss of escape board hurts it enough to not run a playset of it, since I have to save the switching cards specifically for it. Additionally, while a Crobat/Dedenne split also sounds nice, I'm worried about Dedenne's HP, being in KO...

As I was monitoring the thread for my Galarian Cursola V decklist I posted not too long ago, a comment suggested I use Sableye V instead of Cursola as an attacker. While I ultimately decided to lean extra heavy into defensive play with that list, ultimately forgoing main attackers outright...

While there are some UB cards that will exist post-rotation, none of them are that solid. Blacephalon is far and away the best of them, but that doesn't mean it'll be good. What may serve as a nice starter mon instead is the Bird Kepper Starly that lets you search for cards for free if it's...

It's tough to KO big VMAX pokemon when they don't attack for huge damage, sure; like I said in my strategy rundown, Eternatus is basically an auto-loss. If I'm going to run the denial route, the theory behind it is that even if they do continue to heal, they shouldn't be able to attack and so I...

What's the point of not actually running Piers in this deck? The only pokemon it doesn't get is Jynx, so the utility seems worthwhile, over something like a full set of Marnie. Personally, I'd cut a Marnie, if not 2, and a Zigzagoon for Piers here.

Pokemon (18): 4 Klink 3 Klang 4 Klingklang 2 Galarian Meowth RCL 2 Galarian Perrserker 2 Crobat V 1 ADP Trainer (32): 2 Marnie 4 Prof.’s Research 4 Metal Saucer 4 Quick Ball 2 Evolution Incense 1 Jasmine 2 Rare Candy 3 Rose Tower 3 Vitality Band 3 Pokemon Communication 2 Guzma and Hala 2...

Yeah, ok, that makes sense. Swapping 2 Piers for Red's Challenge.

Precisely. I currently don't run any basic energy, so Sonia would be purely for PokeSearch, which I think is solid enough already. I suppose I could swap them for some Rosa or Red's Challenge, maybe? Would that be better?

After thinking about it some more, I definitely do see the denial aspect being key here. Replacing 2 Cans, 3 Psychic, and 1 Chaotic Swell for 4 Hammer and 2 Yell Grunt

Personally I'd swap a Pokemon Catcher for an Indeedee V and swap the rest for Boss' Orders, but this seems fairly solid.

I am scared of this deck, plain and simple. It's a gimmick, to be sure, but I think it has the tools to be worth respecting after its introduction. Pokemon (12): 3 Galarian Cursola V 4 Arctozolt 3 Crobat V 2 Galarian Zigzagoon SSH Trainer (39): 2 Marnie 4 Prof.’s Research 2 Red's...

I think that in this particular format, Boss' Orders is a must have, hence the hefty price tag. It's definitely better than Pokemon Catcher, since it takes a supporter slot for a guarantee instead of a coin flip on an item. Looking at averages, you're getting one gust per two deck slots with...
