    Standard Volcanion-EX / Volcanion / Charizard-EX

    This will probably be moved to the deck garage since it does have a list in it. I would recommend adding in a few Float Stone. Your big hitters can't attack multiple turns in a row so having consistent switching effects is important, and you need to be able to move Octillary out in case of...

    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    Trevenant from Breakpoint or Breakthrough (I mix the two up) is the one that comes to mind. He has to be the active for it to work though.

    Alt. Format (Budget) A Freindly Dual

    No problem. I don't believe the deck lists are on Amazon's product page, but if you go to Pokémon's official online store you should be able to see the decklist for each before you buy. Or of course you could go to a local store as they should have it. Be aware that these can sell out though, my...

    Alt. Format (Budget) A Freindly Dual

    Nice! And a few old trainers are still ok, like those double colorless (DCE for short) have been reprinted multiple times and are still technically standard legal. Same goes for a few others, like Switch I believe hasn't changed so the original base set is still standard legal. There's a few...

    Alt. Format (Budget) A Freindly Dual

    Most players here stick to expanded or standard, which is why you haven't got any replies. To answer your power creep question, yes power creep will have made this deck obsolete. What are your goals for this deck? Just to play a friendly match with a friend? Then as long as they are playing...

    Help New Player - Looking to Create a Budget Standard Deck

    I'll second the Greninja Break as a great budget standard deck, which can still fortunately do well in tournaments. I'll also second the Rayquaza/Keldio as a good investment if you're new since it comes with VS Seekers and a variety of good supports, especially for water. That said, do the math...

    Discussion Will Staples Like Shaymin-EX and VS Seeker Be Reprinted?

    Nobody knows yet. At this moment, nothing has been announced so we are looking at roughly 4-6 months without reprints of those two specifically. Something could be announced next time there's an announcement and we'll get them in next summer's set.

    Discussion Yanmega / Vespiquen After Rotation

    Weakness/Resistance is involved in the damage calculation. Zap Zone only takes into consideration effects on the opposing Pokémon. It does not interact with the damage calculation, unless the effect influences the calculation. Like attacks that place an effect "Take 20 less damage next turn" and...

    Discussion Does it Really Hurt to Get Hit by a Hammer?

    What decks were you running? I think it really depends on the matchup. Some decks rely on special energy much more than others, and therefore I think they are more vulnerable than ones that don't. For example, energy disruption against Greninja Break won't do much. The attacks are just one...

    Discussion What is the best way to play Steam Siege's Mega Gardevoir EX?

    I've seen this deck with the new Dragonite EX to pull up discarded Pokémon to play again. other ability ones I've seen are the new Rattata to discard the active's tools, and possibly even the Hawlucha that acts as a free Lysandre. Geomancy Xerneas also sometimes gets used to help power up and to...

    Help The "What Deck Should I Play?" Thread

    You are correct, Mystery energy is not standard legal as of now. All cards, except for basic energy count for rotation purposes. If you have a deck already, post it in the deck garage section and we can recommend some changes to make it standard or just changes in general.

    Discussion Yanmega / Vespiquen After Rotation

    I think it's a cool deck idea, but loses so hard to Garb. If you can consistently find a way to deny Garb then it could be really good.

    Help Need Advice Building a Low Budget Standard Deck

    Are you looking to play online, casually with friends, in a league, at local tournaments, or compete at higher levels? Depending what your goals and expectations are may change what a good recommendation is. Also, what's the estimated budget you're looking to spend? Is $20, 50 or 100 low to you...

    Standard Vileplume/Regice

    Looks like you are missing VS Seekers. With the item lock playing a full four might not be necessary, but you'll want at least two I would think just in case. I would drop the heavy ball and one Unown. Also, sometimes throwing in one Hex Maniac can be helpful. You can turn off your item lock...

    PTCGO Pokemon TCGO Ever Coming to iPhone?

    Well other card games have been wildly popular on mobile devices. I'm thinking of Hearthstone specifically so it can be done on the small form factor, but it has to be specially designed for that. I don't ever see Pokémon taking to time to develop for that type of device, partly since there is...

    Pokemon The 2nd Generation of Pokemon is Coming to Pokemon GO!

    Ditto isn't found like normal. That is, he won't show up on the map as Ditto. He shows up as any (As far as I know all are included) other Pokémon on the map, then when you catch that other Pokémon he will be revealed as Ditto.

    Any Decks Without Shaymin-EX?

    Greninja is probably one of the most popular non-Shay decks. There's a few lower tier decks also, like Raichu/Bats, Magnazone/Raiku, which are very fun, but generally not considered quite as competitive as some other decks. What are you two looking to do with the game? Play for fun at...
