    Standard Charizard EX / Pyroar

    Burning Energy will not work with Flare Command. Burning Energy only works when discarded by an attack. "This card can only be attached to Pokémon. This card provides Energy only while this card is attached to a Pokémon. If this card is discarded by an attack of the Pokémon this card is...

    Primal Groudon-EX Variants

    I am glad you like the idea. Some advice from testing this: Robo Sub combined with Silent Lab/Hex Maniac is great for stalling a turn or two to power up Groudon. Also, Landorus(FUF) and Mega Turbo might help too. The hardest thing i find with this deck is, like others have mentioned, powering...

    Standard Help with Homemade Deck (Lucario EX / Emolga EX)

    Pokemon Fan Club would be a great way for you to get out multiple basic Pokemon that you run. Also, if you run Machamp and Lucario, see if you can get your hands on a couple of Hawlucha and a couple of Focus Sash from Furious Fists. If you are able to get a booster box or an elite Trainer box...

    Is Shaymin-EX Absolutely Required To Play Competitively?

    Thanks for the input Rauthian. The decks I am testing right now with the two Shaymin-EX I have are Vespiqueen with various partners, Raichu with various partners, Giratina-EX/Hydreigon-EX/Vileplume, Lucario-EX/bats, and Primal Groudon-EX. What do you think of Shaymin-EX in these decks? I have...

    Is Shaymin-EX Absolutely Required To Play Competitively?

    I am getting back into the competitive TCG world and I have to ask:is it absolutely necessary to obtain 3-4 Shaymin-EX in order to be competitive in the large tournaments(States,Regionals,Nationals,etc.)?

    Giratina-EX Variants

    I play a list with Hydreigon-EX, Giratina-EX, Unown, Vileplume, and Shaymin-EX as my only Pokemon and Forest of Giant Plants as my Stadium. I run 2 Hydreigon-EX for my dragons to have free retreat, and AZ/VS Seeker helps me to be able to pick up Vileplume, play any items I need to (including VS...

    Standard XY-On: Primal Peace (Medicham / Primal Groudon EX)

    Updated List(Current as of 22SEP2015) After testing hundreds of games, talking to other players, and much thought, I have updated my list. The strategy is basically the same: Start with Medicham, apply early damage, come in and clean up with Primal Groudon-EX at the end. Some changes I am...

    Primal Groudon-EX Variants

    I have been testing a list that includes AT Medicham (PRC 81) lately with solid results. I posted the list I started with in the deck garage (http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/xy-on-primal-peace-medicham-primal-groudon-ex.125384/). I have changed the list since posting it (I will update my...

    Discussion Card-Drawing "Engine" (Expanded Deck Format)

    Why would you need to replace Sycamore with Juniper? They do the exact same thing. In response to the original post, if you're using Shaymin-EX, any Ultra Ball, Pokemon Fan Club, Hoopa-EX,etc. that can get Shaymin-EX out of the deck can count towards draw support. Also, I run at least 2/3 Battle...

    Vespiquen Variants

    I have been testing with 1 Shaymin-EX, 2 Birch, 2 Sycamore ( I run Vespiqueen/Raichu),3 Shauna and 2/4 Compressors/VS Seeker, as well as 4 Unkown and 3 Ultra Ball. I don't have my complete deck list in front of me, but that is pretty much my draw engine. Any advice?

    Vespiquen Variants

    Just have a quick question about Vespiqueen decks. Is it possible to make a good build that runs only 1 Shaymin-EX? I only own 1 and I really don't want to pay $50 a piece for three more. Any advice?

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Why is Fraxure's attack more expensive then Haxourus'? I like the concept(dragon hate from a dragon:D) but, as an evolving stage 1, they could have easily left off the extra Colorless energy requirement. However, I do like the way the game seems to be shifting towards playable stage 2's and...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    In Expanded, Mamoswine from Plasma Storm has a retreat cost of 4. Also, all Mamoswine to date have a retreat cost of four,except for Stormfront Mamoswine, which had a retreat cost of 5 (which, by the way, was the most recent Fighting type Mamoswine). Just saying.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Am I the only one excited about the fighting type Swinub and the possibility of a fighting type Piloswine and Mamoswine( which, by the way, hasn't happened since Stormfront)?

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Well, I have found my new XY-On deck. Besides the fact that it will actually be a viable deck, Gengar is my favorite pokemon and I have been trying to find a great pairing for dimension valley and Bats that doesn't revolve around an EX and that isn't Nightmarch.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    My thoughts exactly. Only this time they put it in an upon evolution ability that only affects your opponent. So I can see how they were trying to balance it out. Not sure yet if I like it or not. I guess time will tell...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    Glalie EX doesn't actually seem that bad, considering Judge is being reprinted. Also, a coin flip for paralysis is better than nothing. At least it isn't for sleep,like a lot of these "ice" moves are.

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    VIVILLON: THIS is how you make Stage 2 Pokemon playable(at least one of the ways anyways). Energy acceleration from the bench starting turn 1(GPF)? Easily manageable retreat cost? Decent HP for a support Pokemon? I like this card. Do I think it will be format defining? We'll have to wait and...

    'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

    We have another N/ a replacement for N. I am so excited for the XY-on sets. I have been playing this game since the beginning and I am glad to see some old friends coming back and TPCi adding diversity to the cardpool.

    Standard XY-On: Primal Peace (Medicham / Primal Groudon EX)

    I do appreciate your opinion. I have been experimenting with a build that combines Wobbuffet,Robo Substitute, and Medicham with Primal Groudon (I know it sounds clunky on paper,but it is surprisingly consistant). Once I have access to my list, I will post it. I do understand that Wobbuffet is...
