    Standard Leafeon GX/Beedrill

    If you are making decks just to make decks, then they aren't going to work very well. In order to win, you have to have a set strategy in mind. Furthermore, this deck suffers heavily because you are entirely missing draw supporters. You NEED to have Cynthia, Professor Sycamore and N (not...

    Standard Mewtwo-GX / Zoroark-GX

    I agree with @Eltyr , Mewtwo GX is just not a good attacker at the moment. You would really only play this to counter stuff like Lucario and Buzzwole, but if anyone happens to be running Mew EX, you're going to get hurt really bad. I was thinking of using this with Lunala Prism star to...

    Help What is the best theme deck?

    @Eltyr is right on the money. The fact that Mach Strike (Garchomp/Lucario) comes with 2 Cynthia is more than enough to purchase this theme deck. Cynthia is worth about $3.50 right now so you basically get $7 in 2 out of the 60 cards that come with the deck.

    xD I'm glad we're able to move past this then since I never intend to come on here to make anyone upset! I know how you feel though, sometimes its easy to get a bit carried away with our opinions :P I'll definitely make sure that I read over what I'm posting to make sure I don't upset anyone...

    Help Returning after a loooong break

    You are absolutely right, I misread the first point in which I commented on. It also seems as though I may have slightly upset you which was not my intent either. Upon looking at my previous post, I can see how I could have come off as very forceful about my opinion. My apologies. My main point...

    Solrock, Yungoos and Gumshoos should be removed eventually as they are not good cards. If this is all you have at the moment, then it's completely understandable. Eventually, your pokemon lineup will look something like this: * 4 Gible * 3 Gabite * 4 Garchomp * 2 Riolu * 2 Lucario * Tapu...

    Help Returning after a loooong break

    Although I understand your point about cards like N and Sycamore being a part of the Battle Arena decks, I would highly advise AGAINST purchasing these. Like you mentioned, there are Pokemon EX cards that come with them, but none of them ever really proved useful in competitive play and they...

    @OppositeAttract is correct, you will want to get Rare candies for any stage 2 decks. Sure you can use ascension to evolve, but what about your benched Gabite? If you get rare candies, you can quickly evolve your Basics into Stage 2.

    Not necessarily. You can just use Brigette is the better choice because it allows you to get 3 basics instead of 1 from Nest ball. Nest ball has its uses in some decks, but it is not a staple in my opinion. This might change after the rotation, but even then we'll have Pokemon Fan Club.

    Nice job on getting the two decks man! Yeah, it seems like people in the UK typically have issues ordering cards due to shipping :( I would give you some advice, but I live in the U.S. so its different for me. @arulz pretty much mentioned the good ones. I would also add that brigette is an...

    Help Returning after a loooong break

    I would refrain from trying to collect and play at the same time since you're just starting off. Not every card that gets printed is playable so you may end up spending money on cards you will most likely never use. The only good thing about these cards is that sometimes they are cheap because...

    No worries man! I was in the exact same boat you're in last year around this time. I never actually played the game itself, I just collected the cards as a kid starting with Base set, Fossil and Jungle. I didn't really have anyone to help me out and I ended up wasting a lot of money on things I...

    Pretty sure this card is fake. Reminds me of the sticker cards.

    Help Returning after a loooong break

    Every deck in the Standard format plays 4 Ultra Balls. The Mach Strike deck comes with 0 :( The good thing is that you can find different versions of ultra balls from different sets starting at about 20 cents each. The ultra balls from older sets are still legal because they were reprinted in...

    I would suggest not buying the lunala deck or any boosters just quite yet. If you want to get into the game right now, I would highly recommend buying the Mach strike theme deck as suggested by @FlashRayquaza . Actually, I would recommend buying 2 copies of this deck simply because Garchomp is...

    Alt. Format Kingdra GX!

    I like the idea of Kingdra GX, but I don't think it's going to work very well in the current meta due to Golisopod GX. It will take quite a few cards to set up the damage you need on Kingdra and 1 First impression is all it takes to 1HKO a Kingdra. Also, you're relying on quagsire and aqua patch...

    Help Noivern/Garb?

    Yeah Zinnia is definitely a different story so it could be helpful. I also think that Mystery Treasure will help out as well because it will allow you to search for your Noivern GX by discarding 1 single card. You would still play Ultra Ball, but this gives you a better chance of making sure you...

    Help Noivern/Garb?

    This thread specifically talks about Noivern/Garb. You would not use Altaria at all because it's ability would be shut down. Even if you didn't use Garb, Altaria is still not going to be very viable because it is a stage 1. You aren't going to get multiples of these set up quickly and even if...
