I probably wouldn't be running Mega Turbo here either. I would just run 4 copies of Shrine of Memories to ensure consistency there so that you shouldn't ever need the Mega Turbo. Bursting Balloon should further compensate for this, and the replacement of the help to enable more effective cards...

Understood. I wasn't aware of that. It's still however a very strong powerplay to make, as the Prize you potentially lose can enable Teammate or Ace Trainer. You can also move a second {Cowardice} Wishiwashi in after the first is Knocked Out to soak up further Max Elixir energy from your play on...

I really hope this is truly just a rendition of, "I see the light now...but this was my logic on all these things." Your argument on Skyla could be right. Not entirely sure that this particular deck would have any specific needs where Misty's Determination offers more versatile potential over...

Every card requires specific cards to "work", that is the very nature of synergy itself, which is what you must truly be referring to when you say that. Now, one think I hope you'll learn when it comes to this, is to not be greedy when it comes to synergy. Sometimes, it can be really hard to...

I would not be running {Abyssal Hand} Octillery here. It's not easily resourced, and the flow of the cards can be better reinforced by more intelligible resourcing. This means consistency of offensive/defensive resources, and more actual Supporter cards opposed to Supporter-esque cards...

Interesting, I was just talking about this in another thread. {Cowardice} Wishiwashi is going to be superior in Max Elixir strategies, as it enables a Pokémon to take the bench spot at the start the of game to soak up Max Elixir energy, where Wishiwashi can then be returned to the hand (like a...

The strategy involved including Pyukumuku as a counter against particular Swarmer and Slugger decks, which can enable M Pidgeot to set up from the bench and more effectively pick the opponent apart. This is coupled with Bursting Balloon, Fighting Fury Belt, Tauros-GX, and Ninja Boy to enable...

It can also be used to as a catch for the opening spot, enabling a centerpiece Pokémon to take a Bench spot and soak up Max Elixir energy. From there, you can return Wishiwashi to the hand and move in for the attack. Wishiwashi then makes prime bait for cards like Ultra Ball and Misty's...

Definitely can be. I have a number of decks that use Karen to provide a heavy extension on copies of evolution line Pokémon. This enables heavier and less liable use of Professor Sycamore/Professor Juniper and Ultra Ball. You can click the link in my sig and scroll through my collection to get a...

Was a thought myself, but I honestly think you'd be better off with one or the other, because the deck structure begins to get grossly adulterated (and out of proportion) the moment you add the Glaceon-EX to the mix alongside Tauros-GX, Pidegot/M Pidgeot-EX, and Jolteon-EX. Glaceon is very much...

Not a problem. I am currently questioning it though now over Jolteon-EX, which seems like it would boast some immense potential in the Standard format with the dominance of Basic Pokémon Darkrai, Yveltal, Volcanion, etc. If running Ninja Boy, it wouldn't hurt to tech a single copy, but one would...

You may not have much experience strategies other than Swarmer ones, but I can tell you from experience that Out-Fighter strategies that set up from the bench can be immensely powerful. This kind of strategy would constitute running a whole playset of Pyukumuku, which enables them to go out as...

By cards that can nuke it, you mean Electric-type? What are your thoughts on the addition of Pyukumuku? It makes a decent alternative starter to Pidgeot, and should enable M Pidgeot to setup from the bench and work around cards that can One-Hit KO it as you're saying. What are your thoughts on...

I don't have a decklist. This was just a concept I had in mind for the Standard format, based on the new Pyukumuku release. I'm actually in the process of shelling out my entire deck collection and quitting the game, because I've been facing a very stressful, and seemingly hopeless situation...

I explained this in the opening post. The idea here is to hit the opponent with [Mirror Move], then move in Pyukumuku next turn to put the opponent into a self-Knock Out scenario. From there, Pidgeot can be fully healed with Max Potion, M Evolved, or moved off the bench with Ninja Boy—in place...

Had an idea for a neat Pidgeot-EX deck concept and wanted to discuss its competitive potential. The strategy for this deck revolves around the [Mirror Move] concept featured on the PokéBeach front page awhile back. This new version of the deck retains the use of Max Potion to offset the damage...

First off, you should probably always be running the opposite. 4 N and 3 Professor Discard your hand. This is because N has more diverse potential to act as disruption against the opponent's Turn 1 direct retrieval cards (when you play second). Secondly, I personally find a tech on Professor...

Why doesn't your deck have any answer to Regice? That's a wide-range vulnerability. It's good deck etiquette to always try diversifying your resources (Basic, EX, Stage 1/Stage 2/BREAK) so that you can't be locked down (or locked out) by the technicality of a simple effect.

Stage 2—what a tweist!

I'm pretty sure the GX stands for Grand Cross—which is a high rank of nobility in chivalric orders. As for the cards themselves, they seem to be stretching the game to more extensive lengths. The Basic GX can be expect to be played the same as any Pokémon-EX. However, many evolutionary GX will...
