Hiker Tony lost to @acerizzo13 0-2 in round 4. GG's!

Honestly this isn't a Lurantis deck, it's a Tapu Bulu deck with a Lurantis GX tech. Other than the GX move, it can't touch the damage that Bulu does. That is why no one is talking about Lurantis GX. It's a great tech and back-up attacker and probably my favorite card out of SUM, but no one is...

I agree that Garb is going to yo-yo in and out of the top 8. It will be interesting to see if it stays popular once BKP Garb rotates next year. The thing about Garb GRI is that it won't come back in response to an archetype getting popular, ie weakness against whatever type is currently winning...

This is what I'm saying. Most likely turn three IF you have both a koko and a can in hand AND they are playing basic EX or GX that isn't 190 THEN you can OHKO. I'm not saying don't play it, I'm saying you're either getting great draws or working really hard to hits something we can all tell the...

Lele doesn't hit for weakness on anything. Energy drive states it ignores both weakness and resistance.

Agreed, but there again, we're hoping to stream together all of these things. I love Tapu Koko, and I'm willing to play this deck like crazy to find the thing that works with it, but I'm also too realistic to think that every game I will be able to start baby Koko, get enough energy attached to...

exactly. which is why I believe that Pokebeachers should band together and stand against they tyranny!!

The way the new trainers are replacing the old ones, Ilima is N but with a coin flip, Plumaria is Flare grunt with discards, etc. I'm hoping that if they reintroduce a VS Seeker type card, it is more balanced. Which makes me think that puzzle of time will be the new vs seeker and if TPCi brings...

I think if you are playing baby Koko, you really have to commit to using it and basically expect it to die while you get 3 more energy on board for Koko GX. An extra 20 damage isn't going to put you into OHKO range for anything new besides Marshadow gx or baby vikavolt. If you can keep baby Koko...

I think it would be best if we all agree to just stop playing greninja. I think it would be best for everyone, and by everyone I mean me, who has maybe never won against greninja. It's safe to say that too much is being lost in rotation that this deck is just generally a really really bad idea...;)

That's GENIUS!

I was on the "Good riddance Shaymin" boat for a while, but I've been thinking more and more how much better the format will be without VS Seeker! Loosing that card ups the need to think through every hand. No more 1-of tech supporters that get Sycamored at the beginning of the game only to haunt...

adding a free retreat attacker like baby koko wouldn't be bad either, then there are other switching options and for a DCE or 2 attachments you get spread damage. And then switch to koko and retreat back into Gol for big damage again!

Even if N were gone, Ilima and Wicke would end up giving the same effect.

Yes, I agree on the supporters. If you aren't going to run something that will guarantee you those 1-2 of supporters, you need to run thicker supporter lines. you need more draw support. the Mallow/schorched earth draw engine looks good on paper, but it's hard to guarantee you will win the...

The hard part of energy denial in the garb matchup is that they only need to be able to attach one energy. it makes for a tough game.

Its better to have the option to get them out when you need and just limit your item usage when you KNOW you are playing against garb than to not include items just in case you run into garb. One thing I do appreciate about garb is that it forces me to think about how and when I am going to play...

running a straight Koko deck, most of the other supports are draw support or guzma, so as long as you aren't targeting a bench mon and have the necessary energy on board, Acerola is better to refresh a damaged Koko to finish off the opponent's active. The main reason for scoop to be usable...

Oranguru wouldn't be bad for draw as part of the goal of this deck is to be able to discard energy for additional attack. intentionally playing down your hand and being able to draw even one or two cards can be huge. Depending on your local area, expanded may be a big enough reason to invest in...

I would love to see this! I'm from Montana, and we have very little competitive interest here. The last League Cup only had 8 people, 2 of whom might have belonged in sr. division. Its about 31/2 hrs to anywhere that has real competition, which isn't something I can do every weekend. Being able...
