I actually really want the dice.

Sigilyph GX is interesting. In a Basic GX heavy format where almost every single basic GX that is or will be meta relevant can hit enough damage to OHKO themselves, it makes for some interesting trades. Also Stage 1s swinging for 2 hit KOs will hit themselves for 110-150 which allows Sigilyph GX...

My issue with this is that I feel you need Gardevoir GX in order to compete. Gardevoir non-GX is capable of taking solid KO's choice banded, but it's not a universal solution and can't handle anything with over 200 HP...including itself. If you were up against a Gardy mirror, perhaps due to the...

How consistently are you able to set up the deck without Pokemon Fan Club? I have an incredibly hard time just running 4/4 Ultra/Nest in Stage 2 decks. I always gun for Pokemon Fan Club and usually only see 1 Nest Ball in hand at best which allows me to pull off a pseudo Brigette on T1. I also...

Okay, got some playtesting results. Plea GX is not the solution. Very simply, Latias Prism Star & Shuckle. When I see Sylveon GX hit the table, I immediately hold Zeraora's GX attack and accelerate with Shuckle and Latias Prism Star instead. After getting Plea GX'd, I can just discard the...

If you do get around to testing it, I would love to hear what you experience with it. I can only playtest so many decks myself with the time that I have (I assume the same applies to you). I think that Shrine of Punishment + Choice Band is a great combination if and only if it can enter the...

Plea GX is still a very viable reason to run Sylveon GX. Sylveon GX also swings naturally for 110 damage which OHKOs both Ultra Necrozma GX and Rayquaza GX without needing Choice Band. This becomes particularly important if you plan on running Fairy Charm (Dragon) against UNGX and Ray GX. I...

You're only allowed to play this deck if you use Rainforest Cafe card sleeves. Just kidding. I think this deck has some pretty solid potential. Between Shuckle and attaching per turn as well as Sceptile GX being able to shift its energy to the bench to prevent big energy losses on KOs, I think...

I think when it comes to VS. Sylveon GX, the strategy is simply to not preload all of your Rayquaza GX with 3 energy a piece. You would have to spread your energy across the board a little thinner. For example, in the case that you have 3 Rayquaza GX in play, instead of getting all 3 of them to...

Ribombee I guess is effectively the anti-Guzma for Fairy. Potentially important? I dunno. Seems like a clunky tech. Mina seems a bit underwhelming when Gardevoir GX is currently the strongest Fairy attacker. I would rather play Lady and Secret Spring. I guess it's decent energy acceleration for...

Looks like grass is getting some love. Discarding special energy doesn't seem to be super crucial for post rotation since most decks seem to be functioning primarily off of basic energy. This is mostly a hit towards things like Zoroark GX relying on DCE and occasionally sending that Beast...

I'm not trying to treat Sylveon GX like it's in a vacuum. Just like how Rayquaza GX leans on Shuckle and Zeraora GX to get the job done, Sylveon GX would similarly need other Pokemon to work with it in order to see success, such as Gardevoir GX for energy acceleration and tech cards for more...

Feedback on the list after playtesting results: This deck is just as consistent as I would hope it would be. I also learned through playtesting that the New Solgaleo GX is completely unnecessary for the deck. Between Solgaleo GX and Dusk Mane Necrozma GX, simply using Sol Burst GX allows you...

I'm actually hoping that Eeveevolution decks will become a thing with stuff like Unit Energy and just general type coverage strategies. Energy Evolution Eevee is pretty strong. I.E. Sylveon/Glaceon decks, or Flareon/Leafeon decks that run promo Lurantis, etc etc. #TheYearOfEevee

Turtonator GX as well as Victini Prism Star. Victini Prism Star does 20 damage for every fire energy in your discard pile, then shuffles them back into your deck. I would still run 1-2 Turtonator GX for the GX attack regardless. Turtonator GX is immediate acceleraction - Victini Prism is for...

Pheromosa is definitely my favorite tech card for this deck. It allows you to go for 1 prize Pokemon like Malamar, Alolan Vulpix, Magcargo, Prism Star Pokemon, etc, and then with 1 prize remaining you can kick a solid 180 damage to OHKO a mirror match Rayquaza GX, or Choice Banded for 210. That...

Magcargo GX, mostly. Japanese lists run a Kiawe to get it going right away. Magcargo GX's main attack is pretty powerful. 50+ 50 more for every energy you discard. 3 energy discard = 200 damage without a choice band. It's a bit clunky for my tastes but it's a good Fire Pokemon. I think I would...

A 90 HP support Pokemon like Magcargo is usually fine. Generally speaking, due the pressure you would be applying with Zoroark GX or Magcargo GX, your opponent will not have time to blow a Guzma on a 1 prize KO while Magcargo GX is just ready with 4 energy on it to revenge KO next turn, kind of...

I don't mean to interject on the conversation here, but I would like to bring up Zeraora GX and Shuckle as a topic for discussion. Do either of you, MrMimik & lukas2aces that is, believe that Zeraora GX & Shuckle are the better partners and you guys are simply trying to find a way to play...

I used to run Mallow as a 2 of in most Zoroark GX decks and even sometimes in Octillery decks, but Mallow is probably falling off a bit because of Magcargo and Magcargo GX. Zoroark GX/Magcargo GX/Magcargo is one of the most anticipated Zoroark GX partners coming up, and when you already have a...
