Mega Mewtwo is basically dead at this point, and Mega Gardevoir dies without Shaymin. The only mega deck left is M-Scizor, and even then it doesn't have good match-ups into anything.

So, I've seen a lot of Garde GX lists, all play it one of three ways, Pure, with Diance, or with Alolan Vulpix. But something i haven't seen, which confuses me, is why no Geomancy Xerneas? I understand that Garde has built in acceleration, but with the way the deck works, I'm pretty confident...

I like the concept, but there's a few things i would change. 4 DCE would be good in this deck. You have built in fire acceleration anyways, and since Del's attack is triple colorless, you want to pump as much damage as possible as quick as possible. I also think the 4 Max Elixer is a bit...

I just said it because there was three or four people who said "update this" after you told them when it was going to be updated. lol

The amount of reading that goes on here is astounding

Depending on how set you are on the Dusknoir line, this either helps, or it doesn't. 4 Kingdra 1 Seadra 4 Horsea 3 Tapu-Koko (Mini) 2 Tapu-Lele GX 1 Oricorio 14 Pokemon 4 Professor Sycamore 4 N 2 Guzma 1 Skyla 11 Supporters 4 Ultra Ball 4 Rare Candy 4 Choice Band 4 Puzzle of Time 2 Field...

His big problem is consistency. He doesn't have a CONSISTENT way to deal with things like Garb, Metagross, Greninja, and Zoroark. He definitely got a great friend in Tapu-koko, but it's not enough.

It's bad for our standard format. Japan's format doesn't matter when we talk about our format. The card is insane for expanded because of it's bulk and typing, but for standard, its not good. And my narrative is that TPCi is phasing out Big Basics, meaning cards that come out in the future...

Like i said, the card was made to kill Basic EX/GX pokemon. Notice how in Burning Shadows, a lot of cards hate basic pokemon. Because Pokemon wants evolution back in the format, but that can't happen with Big Basic decks running everything. so they made cards like Garbodor who is insanely cheap...

Choice Band is Pokemon's way of saying "we're done with the Big Basic format" Anything you can't OHKO with a band on gets 2HKO'd without a band. So things like Metagross GX, Drampa GX, Ninetales GX, Lapras GX, Espeon GX, Volcanion EX and Turtonator GX can't be overbearing on the format. All of...

He'll prob update that on Monday.

Actually, that's something we both agree on, I believe that Volca SHOULD be in Tier 1. It's parallel to Turbo Dark in success. And just to be clear, my replies have nothing to do with the decks, it's the thought that testing will have the same impact on a Tier list as Tournament results, which...

Bad hands happen, every deck has them. It may be your luck, the way you shuffle, a multitude of factors, but that didn't stop Darkrai form reaching multiple top 8's and a top four in June. Once you go into situations, you're doing theorymon, which honestly, doesn't mean anything. All that...

Lol, I mean I guess. My point is, TESTING isn't the same thing as tournament play. If this list was based off testing and no tournament play, it would be very different. It's nothing against you the player, it's just fact that testing doesn't always match the results at a tournament. Look at...

The flaw in this logic is that Vika/Bulu and Darkrai are still performing. YOUR numbers may not match, but the proof is in the pudding, both decks have multiple top cuts beyond top 16 in a post-Garb format. You could make the argument that Darkrai is on a bubble right now, but with where the...

Tier 2. It's got some top 8's in June. Curitiba Regional i believe?

My point is, if you are not solely testing the post rotation Decidueye/Rare Candy theory against post rotation decks (BKT-BUR) then your testing is completely useless. The whole point to this thread is to find out if it can survive post rotation, but if you're not testing with a post rotation...

No, the decks you're playing against. That's what I want to know. Are the decks your playing against post rotation?

What about using SM2 Rayquaza for energy accelaration?

You are missing my point. It can't be its own deck in this format because its too weak. You can put it in Zoro Break as a 1 of speed tech, but it's not needed. Again, as i've said before, you have 60 card, to make your deck competitive enough to stand up to Garbodor, Solgaleo GX, Metagross GX...
