I think Marshadow is a cute idea, but I would rather have an extra Necrozma or Alolan Vulpix. Yes Marshadow can use their moves, but not if they are in your prize cards.
So then in this deck it isn't a bad inclusion as a 1-2 of. use the N until you are ahead in prize cards and then Wicke can be good/better than loosing cards each hand. unless you are going to use an N/Octillery combo to lower your hand and draw some more...
Part of the value of N, Wicke, and...
Everyone is saying that, but it's saved my bacon multiple times since Field Blower came out. I'm not married to the idea of having them, but I also don't count them out. If there were something that were hands down better in this deck or I NEEDED a certain tech, they might be the first cards I...
I don't know about M Gard. with Sky Field rotating that caps damage, and it doesn't really have synergy with Gard GX, they work off of different engines. M Alakazam might see a little boost because the format is slowing down and can sustain spread damage better than last season, but with a...
Disclaimer, I'm still pretty new at this, but what makes Wicke so bad? Will it continue to be bad when N rotates? Sure I'd rather have N, but without Vs Seeker, or when the option is Wicke or no draw, I would choose Wicke.
You're right, there are less than stellar matchups. Rock really struggles against paper, but scissors wins that match hands down. pokemon is really just a big game of rock-paper-scissors. Bulu will do well against much of the meta, as by your own admission you win a bunch of matches. it will...
Isn't mega ray rotating? Mega Mewtwo might see some play, but with the looming trashalanche it probably won't see much. That being said, there is more psy support coming soon. Shining Mew would make a fun friend for energy acceleration, and if you could build up a lunala gx line you can use max...
On the flip side, you have Bulu's gx move and after discarding your energies, you can use max potion as well. There are poor matchups, but loosing a match and winning a bunch isnt exactly the worst. That's rock-paper-scissors sir. If your deck won against everything then everyone would be...
The only things that can OHKO Bulu are Volc and Solgaleo. Others can with Choice band. Part of playing well is understanding wh?at is most likely to be played by your opponent a move before they do. You have to be aware of what the top decks in the meta require to be successful and play against...
StevenM, you seem to be playing a number of competitive decks and coming to the conclusion that you just suck at the game. Previously other members have mentioned learning the fundamentals. do you primarily play online or IRL? Really think about how your deck can compete with whatever the meta...
Bulu is in solid 2 shot range for all of these, where are you having trouble? getting more energies on bulu? probably this is a better discussion in the deck garage where we could give you feedback on your particular deck. I think Bulu is going to be a major force against most of the meta short...
I really like Mewtwo GX in this deck. having the scaleable damage works well with Psychic transfer, and the GX move can OHKO much of the format with Choice Band. Also, it can start throwing chip damage immediately, where baby Lunala has to evolve. I think N is also better in here than Sycamore...
I would prefer to not start with Koko, but this mon lineup is going to start with Koko the majority of the time. Also, maybe i have poor luck with elixirs, but I've never had luck with less than 10 energy and consistently hitting on elixirs. I currently run 11 in a Koko deck and still whiff...
