    News Japan's SM6b, 'Champion Road'!

    I actually like it because it's balanced. Amazing ability but on a Stage 2 and it's attack can hit relevant numbers with a Choice Band and/or Professor Kukui, but has drawbacks that prevent it from being overpowered. Probably not something I would play but it's not a bad card.

    Standard Talonflame, Golizopod.

    Lots of 1-of items that hurt consistency. My concern is what happens when you don't start with Talonflame? I feel like the deck would struggle. I think focusing on a thicker Golisopod-GX line and adding a 2-2 Octillery line would work better, as well as remain cost efficient. I recommend running...

    Help Leafeon GX Deck Idea

    It's worth a try, although I don't think Gardenia is needed. Most turns you're going to want to use a draw Supporter or Guzma. If you have two Leafeon-GX on the field you're healing 100 damage every turn anyways (assuming you're able to switch between them). As far as the Standard format, I ran...

    Help Trying to Make Dusk Mane work.

    I wouldn't say Dusk Mane/Magnezone is better than Tapu Bulu/Vikavolt. I've played both and Tapu Bulu is better all around. No weakness, able to accelerate Energy from the deck instead of needing it in hand, needs less Energy to attack. Dusk Mane has it's advantages, such as being able to hit...

    Discussion Ultra Necrozma-GX Deck Options

    I forgot about Altar of the Moone, that sounds like a good Stadium to run. I've seen a few lists online and most have opted for 4 Mystery Treasure and no Ultra Ball so I just assumed people were playing one or the other. The Dawn Wings + Float Stone combo works, I see how the deck could run...

    Discussion Fun/Good Ultra Prism Decks?

    Rotom/Zoroark-GX is a really cool deck. Ran into it at a League Challenge last weekend and it was tough!

    Discussion Ultra Necrozma-GX Deck Options

    I feel like you're either going to play Ultra Ball or Mystery Treasure though, depending on the deck. For Ultra Necrozma-GX/Malamar, Mystery Treause is the way to go, but for most other decks Ultra Ball provides the same thing, and some decks prefer the 2 card discard as opposed to the 1. There...

    Discussion Zygarde GX Pairability

    Except Zygarde-GX can accelerate the needed energy onto itself in a single turn whereas with Buzzwole-GX you need to hit Max Elixirs. Not saying Zygarde-GX is better than Buzzwole-GX by any means because it's not, but it does have more going for it than just Bonnie, and I think it's a better GX...

    Standard Raichu-GX Deck Idea?

    A 2-1-2 Magnezone line with only 2 Rare Candy means you're going to struggle to get Magnezone on the field most games. A 3-1-3 line with 3 Rare Candy is what I'd play. That or a 3-0-3 line with 4 Rare Candy. I'd also recommend removing one Raichu-GX for one copy of the regular Raichu that...

    Discussion Other Good Malamar Partners

    I'd say the regular Necrozma-GX and Mew from Fates Collide are almost staple techs that should be added to any deck playing Malamar.

    Discussion Ultra Necrozma-GX Deck Options

    Hey everyone, so I'm very interested in building an Ultra Necrozma-GX deck once Forbidden Light is released. My question is who do you think will be it's best partner? The go-to answer seems to be Malamar, but I do have my concerns. Malamar only attaches Energy to your benched Pokémon, meaning...

    Discussion Zygarde GX Pairability

    Bonnie helps, but Zygarde-GX can easily hit relevant numbers with Land's Wrath. Base 130 damage, boosted by Choice Band + Strong Energy + Diancie Prism Star = 200 damage with no drawback, add a Regirock-EX and you're hitting 210. Cell Connecter allows you to attach the necessary Energy...

    Standard Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX/Mew/Solgaleo Prism Star

    I disagree. The Garbodor variant you mentioned relies on Solgaleo, Max Elixir, and Registeel to accelerate Energy, just like this list does. Similar lists to mine have also performed at tournaments. A 160 HP non-GX is hard to OHKO unless you’re hitting it for weakness, and even then I only need...

    Standard Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX/Mew/Solgaleo Prism Star

    I did remove the Lillie for a 3rd Cynthia and replaced the Choice Bands for Fighting Fury Belts. I am, however, hesitant to remove both Field Blower. They do come in handy, such as discarding opposing Stadiums (this deck runs none so if I take out Field Blower and my opponent uses Parallel City...

    Standard Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX/Mew/Solgaleo Prism Star

    I agree on removing one Tapu Lele, but I'm not sold on Dawn Wings. Between 4 Guzma, 4 Float Stone, and 3 Mew I already have ton of mobility. I feel like Dawn Wings is more of a liability in this deck. I'll cut the Lillie. I was just looking for a solid T1 Supporter. Brigette felt too passive...

    Standard Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX/Mew/Solgaleo Prism Star

    I find this build to be a lot more consistant than the Magnezone variant. Just looking for feedback. Strategy is very straightforward. You aggressively discard energies while having Mew use Radiant Star to accelerate energy onto your bench. You want a Mew to go down early so you can swing with...

    Standard Looking For Help In Solidifying My Dusk Mane/Magenzone Deck.

    I second Solgaleo Prism Star. You need an option to accelerate Energy if you're locked by Garbotoxin.

    Standard Buzzwole/Lucario GX

    I think @gumball51321 covered everything. I have a good amount of experience playing Buzzwole-GX. My concern about pairing it with Lucario-GX is that your only attackers get wrecked by Mew-EX, Mewtwo, Garbodor, and Espeon-GX, all of which are pretty popular at the moment, and Psychic-types get...

    Discussion Best Lucario GX Variant

    From my testing, I prefer the Lucario/Lycanroc/Zoroark build that Igor Costa posted on HeyFonte last weekend. I made a few changes to his list but it's incredibly strong and versatile. You have three solid attackers that all have different weaknesses, access to Trade and Bloodthirsty Eyes, as...
