It was not used/overlooked/skipped because just having great Abilities doesn't make a Pokemon functional 'enough' in most cases. The Ability if anything is a great addition to amp certain strategies but there is still a requirement in this case of a main attacker because both examples are...

Deck will certainly be a part of the top comp meta, one of the prime things to keep in mind however is to get out Kaiwe turn 1, which is fully possible but you have to dedicate your deck to it. So far Ive seen some good articles on the concept but running 1 Kaiwe for reasons unknown to me. If...

Dragonite EX, Volcanion, Flareon EX, Ho-Oh GX, Turt GX... However the flavour of your Kaiwe deck to me it's bound to have an impact on the upcomming game. Massive even. I agree with CrowAxe that you dont want to discard all the time but to me the Turt GX will only be a part of a much larger...

The set up with Kaiwe is rediculous and I think it will be meta defining, turn 2 130+ damage is a lot to cope with and so far I havn't seen many direct awnsers to it. Not even Greninja BREAK, great as he is, a stage 2+ set up typically requires more as 1 turn to set up, where Kaiwe decks don't.

Still to give some feedback before it's actually August, this is my opinion of the upcomming meta: Thriving decks New sets, new format, new meta. So far I think a lot of decks are viable to play competively. I see a lot of potential basically everywhere and am actually really happy that VS...

Cool topic, will come back on this in August as Im waiting for the Burning Shadows.

Not too relevant as of yet, might become relevant but I think the new D favourite is Zoroark, both Break and GX seem incredible and it isn't too often that more top Tier Darknes is added on top of such an amazing design. Darkrai GX seems fine though but I think that the Turbodark concept isnt...

To me the clunkiness would still remain? In addition I'm not too impressed by Decidueye as the main attacker, I think that Noivern's GX Loud Sonic is actually much more relevant and potent overall. Feel free to share the deck you have in mind with just Dark and 4 Rainbows though, if you think...

I completely agree! I think that the upcomming format is great and full of checks. Because while most seem to dislike Machamp GX I personally think there is a room for him in a meta that is filled with Electric, Colourless or Darkness Pokemon, a meta that isn't too far from the current situation...

Both are viable Pokemon but not really in conjunction with each other. As I feel that running 3 colours typically makes a deck too vunerable to energy removal and eventually too inconsistent for 10+ rounds of tournament play. The synergy in attacks is obviously there but I don't think the one...

In order to make that set up more consistent you can run Darkrai GX, ditch it to Exchange, have it back again for the bench while being well set up for next attackers. All in all it's main attack is good but there is so much Darkrai synergy available here that not running him seems like a...

Changes seem good, it's just that a turn 1 Kaiwe to me is worth the effort for any Fire deck. The set up turn does soack up quite some spots but the pay-of is massive. I think Flareon EX and Ho-Oh GX have slightly different and very useful purposes. Hitting for 130(+30) with Flareon EX +...

Well the beauty of the upcomming format is that it not only seems to adapt a little slower format and high HP everywhere but also that all kinds of cards can be somewhat broken :). To me the Darkrai GX is as cool and good as many of the Tapu's while Kaiwe's are going to be a huge boost to any...

You can run it but I feel the Giratina is hardly needed. What I do wonder about is why you feel like only running 1 Kaiwe. To me it's the most potent way to set up/start out with Fire decks by a long shot. Remember, while the initial Flareon EX/Volcanion EX might have to give up their first...

Seems like a solid pokemon and a solid marketing set. I think that we might even see a bright future where we simply have half competitive decks being sold straight in the box. This Zoroark seems to be made with Darkrai GX in mind and frankly speaking I really like that straight forward type of...

It will still thake a while but I think Kiawe will be a huge boost in speed to any Vol/Flare EX deck. Ho-Oh from the same set as Kiawe will also grant you acces to a Pokemon with a weakness different from Water. Which I believe is the only current boon your walking into. For now though other...

Especially those really cute Flareon EX's become quite scary! Though I do not want to derail the topic, the future might bring more Fire milling and if it does I think there is something to be said for the strategy. For now though, considering it's a GX attack I don't see the deck being set...

Absolutely, which isn't to say Seeker might not return but for now we do know it won't be there for the start of the season. Frankly speaking though I wouldn't mind it if it didn't return. I really think it is an amazing card for sure but game-wide staples is not something I particulary enjoy...

What it is supposed to do is win by virtue of rapid and high dmg attacks, prizes become of little meaning if you continue to stay ahead. With Marshadow, as above you can continue and do more as you do not soley rely on Team Play. It hits the right numbers against Drampa GX, Darkrai GX, Tauros GX...

I decided to give this thread a little bump, perhaps for obvious reasons but I think Marshadow is able to keep this deck around. Maby just as a 4-2 Passimian-Marshadow line but the set up remains incredibly fast with the likes of Brigette and the Marshadow is a fantastic follow up to the...
