    TCG Fakes Mountain View (A Text-Based TCG Reboot Set) (57.27%)

    OK, here's the Pidgeot line: And also with this update, the Rapidash line!

    Alt. Format Future: GG (Gengar / Greninja)

    I don't particularly like Greninja as a partner for Gengar because 1) it doesn't solve Crobat's problem of being another Stage-2 in the same deck, 2) it requires you to run Water Energy (which is the biggest problem I think), and 3) you could always get 3 damage counters on your opponent's...

    Standard Yanmega / Eevolutions

    To the first two posters - I think you guys are missing what Pachirisu is there for. Pachirisu changes the weakness of Pokemon that don't have lightning weakness to lightning so that Yanmega can OHKO them with the help of Jolteon's ability. Jolteon doesn't help with non-lightning weak Pokemon in...

    TCG Fakes Mountain View (A Text-Based TCG Reboot Set) (57.27%)

    I'm going to try to keep the updates to somewhere around 3-6 cards at a time so I'm not going to post both of those lines this time, but here's the Mothim / Wormadam line and I will post the Pidgeot line next time.

    TCG Fakes Mountain View (A Text-Based TCG Reboot Set) (57.27%)

    I'm wanting to get back into text faking, so this is my second attempt at a text-based TCG set. Last one I tried didn't get finished, but this time it should be different - for one, the set is a lot smaller and for two, I've actually already pretty much done all the cards (there may be small...

    Standard XY-On: Noivern / Eeveevolution

    Wally's usefulness is kind of minimized when you're playing a deck that can't take advantage of evolving the Pokémon right away ... it may be situationally useful to evolve an Eevee on the same turn as you play it, but is it really all that often? Also, Noivern gets very little benefit from...

    Discussion Abusing Dustox & Giant plant forest

    I personally don't like the idea of Training Center, because I don't see a 160 HP Dustox surviving any longer than a 130 HP one in very many instances. Decks are going to want to either take 2HKOs in which case they don't mind hitting for something like 90 or 100, or they want to take 1HKOs on...

    TCG Fakes Pokémon Through Time! [Sign Up Here!]

    I don't think that's how it works. Timeshift is a card you put into play on your Bench and it's not a Pokémon. You can take a Prize if there are 5 cards attached to Timeshift, not to a Pokémon. The only way to attach to it is through the attacks/abilities of the "Pokémon Through Time" (and you...

    Alt. Format XY-On Team Aqua (Mightyena / Sharpedo)

    Don't you find that between Sharpedo, Aqua Great Ball and Level Ball you have way more search than you actually need? That could be one way you make room. Have you considered Trick Coin instead of Muscle Band? Without doing the math, I suspect it would add more than an extra 20 damage on...

    Standard Rayquaza EX / Shaymin EX / Aromatisse

    Well, you have a lot of Supporters and 8 of them don't draw. 16 Supporters means you have a LOT of cards you can't put down right away, which hurts your draw ability with Shaymin. And of your 8 draw supporters, 3 are terrible and 5 are mediocre. Drop some of the non-draw supporters (if you...

    XY5 'Gaia Volcano' and 'Tidal Storm' Leaking! [12/10]

    Yeah... I really like the Trainers in this set, but as far as Pokémon go, the way I see it ... (almost) nothing outside of the Ultra Rares are playable. Swampert and maybe Kingdra/Sceptile and then maybe a few other as fun cards? I'm pretty disappointed in that.

    Wailord-EX, Trevenant-EX, M Aggron-EX, Others from 'Primal Clash!' [11/30]

    yeah... you can set it up in 2-3 turns so that you can do 120 damage and put yourself to sleep or you can set something else up in 2-3 turns that is actually good and won't require you to put five energy on the same Pokémon maybe it could be used as a wall, but it's attack is 100% useless

    Help The "What Should I Buy?" Thread

    RE: Returning Player (Played during Wot years). What Should I Buy? For trainers, the Red Genesect or the Battle Arena decks ... the Battle Arena decks also come with foil energy which is cool, and the Pokémon are a little better, but still are largely not good enough competitively ... stay away...

    Hyper Hexed Flame for 2015 (Ninetales / Malamar EX)

    RE: Hyper Wake-Up Slap for 2015 (Conkeldurr / Malamar EX) Wake Up Slap removes Special Conditions, so there is no extra 10 from poison. By "for 2015" do you mean for next rotation? Because the strategy here is fine, but Ninetales DRX / BW66 reprint completely outclasses Conkeldurr. With...

    Assault Bite (Crobat / Wobbuffet)

    If you spread damage properly with the bats, you can do far more productive things by using Wobbuffet's attack than putting 4 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon. By attacking with a Chandelure EX instead of a Wobbuffet, you're giving up a LOT of damage, you give your opponent their...

    Draw Supporter Choices

    I tend to use Shauna over Colress because, as mentioned, it's never a bad play. It's never great, but a Colress early game sucks, and the early game is when I most want my draw supporters to be powerful. If it helps me set up faster early, I can live with it being a little less powerful later...

    Disaster Bolt (M Manectric EX / Yveltal EX)

    If you find the idea of adding a Xerosic and taking out Skyla works for you, the Tool Retriever could be your Escape Rope spot - you mentioned earlier you were considering that already. It could also be a Max Potion spot ... even as a 1-of, it can deny your opponent two prizes played at the...

    Night March! (Joltik / Lampent / Pumpkaboo / Mew EX)

    Lightning Energy makes no sense in this deck. The only card that can use it has 30 HP and does 10 damage with the attack that requires it. Make those Psychic - or if you want to play the version with Flareon/Leafeon, make them one of those types so that you can use Energy Evolution if you're...

    Disaster Bolt (M Manectric EX / Yveltal EX)

    This may be a little long, but I've been working on a similar deck ... I'll share some of my experiences so far regarding some of the possible additions. I'm running a 4-2 Mega Manectric line, 3 Yveltal EX with only 2 baby Yveltal and a Darkrai. Darkrai isn't totally necessary but he's nice to...
