I would say no because of the damage cap on reshirom. You would be hitting for 270, which definitely doesn't take a knockout in mirror against ADP. The birds are good because they are tanky and can ohko a keldeo with power plant/faba, which is most of the time what they do. Also, you would...

Starting to get ready for Collinsville now that all the information on Sword & Shield is out, and am curious to see what you guys think the impact will be on Expanded. Also, how will the new turn 1 supporter rule affect current decks? Here are some of my thoughts based on decks played at...

I'm curious about the wording of the twin energy card. It says it only provides 1 energy to Pokémon GX and V, but makes no mention of VMax. Since we haven't heard if that is a different category I wonder if this can be used for full 2 on VMax, or if it will still only produce 1 since the...

Going to be expensive for sure though as London is much more expensive than anywhere in the US. A lot of people are going to have to pay a lot more to go if they live anywhere other than Europe. It is much cheaper to fly and stay in the US from places like Asia and South America than it is for...

Yeah, 2 Psychic eevee evolutions now, Sylveon and Espeon

Its a boring match to be sure. Yes, Espy/Deo is your better answer to that. You just have to hold your stadium for the right moment and then go after the florges(s). If they don't have florges their deck falls apart. I would go all in on 6 energy and cross divide. If they crushing hammer...

I made some changes to update the main list based on feedback from you guys and LAIC/Daytona. Special thanks to you guys also for all your input. I ended up rolling both my kids with ADP this weekend after forum feedback and testing. My daughter (seniors) placed in the top half running into a...

I would say it is tier 2 probably. It caught a lot of people off guard at LAIC. I was at Daytona this past weekend and there were definitely Gardeon decks floating around, although probably more malamar than anything. Even the DDG guys admitted you straight up lose the Gardeon matchup. From...

So ironically I ended up rolling my kids with ADP at the Daytona Regionals. One opted for a list without N's resolve and the other for a list with N's resolve. The N's resolve list did far better, but he also just happened to hit much better matchups so I'm still on the fence. It's definitely...

I agree Reshizard ability is strong, but I'm not sure if it was the deck that was strong, the player, or both. I'm inclined to believe that ability zard is either low tier 1 or tier 1.5. If you look at the results no one else playing ability zard did well, which leads me to believe that Robin...

Ha ha, no. That doll stall deck was insane. I think they said he had 32 pokemon in it and 28 of them were one of. Not sure anyone can make much out of that list other than the guy who played it. Big brain deck. I watched it on stream and it was nuts. He was pulling weird random pokemon out...

Interesting that Tord put out his Tier list for anyone who didn't see it. It's not too far off of what we have been working on. I'm listing it below: S Tier Pidgey Mewbox Arceus & Dialga & Palkia/Keldeo Tier 1 Ability Zard Pikarom Blacephalon GX Gardeon Tier 2 Braxien Zard Quag Nag Doll...

That was just an initial thought. After testing it a little I don't think it is that high. It is more like Tier 2. Bad Mewbox/ADP/Gardeon matchups and stall isn't great. I hate to say it as this has been my favorite deck since it came out, but I think Pikarom is dead.

Totally agree on the Malamar gameplan against Sky Pillar with doll/stall and ADP adjustments. I think a lot of people are still trying to also find an ADP list that works really well. I have seen some very different lists. Most of the power in that deck for sure is chaotic swell keldeo, and...

Seems like the 2 Sky Pillar wouldn't be enough to stop Malamar. Most lists I have seem to run 4 stadiums (usually now 3 viridian and 1 shrine of punishment). They could just bump the 2 and go in with esp/deo and mew. Doesn't seem like 2 stadium is enough to stop that as Malamar is pretty good...

Totally forgot baby blowns. I will add it to the list under tier 2 only because it hasn't been doing as well recently. The guy who made that deck (Jeff) actually goes to my store. Ironically he had a really bad night with it at a league challenge a week or so ago and was near the bottom...

I could see the case being made for Pidgeotto Control, but I don't think you can make a case that Malamar is tier 1. I'm not even sure about the 1.5 I put it at. I have been playtesting that one a lot and the matchups against healing decks (i.e ADP, Gardeon, and Green Zard) are brutal. Not...

It's funny you say that ADP is tier 2 when you have guys like Azul GG and Pablo Meza talking about how good the deck is. So far in my testing it has been the strongest as it doesn't really have any bad matchups. You use GX for 1 prize attacker decks and pivot between ADP and Keldeo for the GX...

I have tested Doll Stall a bit and found it isn't consistent and struggles against really aggressive decks like Pikarom (tagbolting Florges) and ADP. ADP is a brutal matchup, especially if they go second on turn one because they will just GX you and then take 3 knockouts to win game. Its very...

That's not a bad tech idea. I was playing Lucario-Melmetal as my tech to improve the Gardeon matchup, that and I play 2 Mallow & Lana and 2 Cynthia & Caitlyn with the tag calls to keep recycling the healing. I actually don't mind giving up the ADP in that matchup to get set up as I just use...
