    Help GIRATINA

    I've been playing a Giratina/Malamar spell tag deck with Giratina as the main attacker. It matches up well with meta decks, but struggles with Steelix.

    Help How will VikaBulu Fair after the Upcoming Rotation?

    Skyla is improved with Volkner. Heavy Ball is not comparable to timer ball. Heavy ball is automatic and timer ball relies on flips. I miss Heavy ball Brigette can be replaced with Fan club, Apricot Maker, or possibly Olivia

    Media Current Movies Discussion!

    Best movie I've seen in the last few years is Infinity War. Not looking forward to Captain Marvel though. Don't like the new Star Wars stuff at all. However, I DID see an old movie that I never watched before that was AWESOME - Scott Pilgrim Vs the World I see that my post was edited to...

    Discussion Metagross-GX / Solgaleo-GX, or Metagross-GX / DM Necrozma-GX?

    I love Metagross-GX/Solgaleo-GX. I also throw in a Volkner (since Skyla was rotated out) to pull a rare candy when I need one. I haven't found a deck that works as well as the pre-rotation version, but will keep working on it.

    Since Ray and Vika rely on Abilities, Weaville (both Standard versions) put the hurt on Rayqazza decks.

    Discussion Best Spread Decks in the Current Format

    Spread decks are very good. They are strong against Malamar/Necrozma and Buzzwole/Lycanroc 2 of the tougher decks in Standard. It's Fairy-type Lele that makes Spread decks so good. The psychic was a French promo, and would be beneficial in spread decks against Buzzwole and Lucario decks...

    Discussion Is Ultra Necrozma GX/Malamar the new BDIF?

    Seems like everybody and their brother is running Ultra Necrozma GX/Malamar on PTCGO, and for good reason. It is a VERY strong deck. Mysterious Treasure makes it easy to set up quickly. Necrozma's attack is phenomenal, and since it discards energy, it protects itself from attacks from Lele and...

    Discussion Poison... Should the Mechanic Change?

    Never thought about that. How does a LASER poison or put to sleep anyhow? I don't mind the power creep as a solution, since we are always going to have HP creep till Pokemon no longer exists.

    Discussion Is Sylveon GX Relevant??

    One of my least favorite decks to play against. When played correctly it is tough to beat. It can always get the cards it needs. And there are too many trainer cards out there that return cards from the discard to the deck to recycle cards for Sylveon to abuse. It can be beat obviously...

    Discussion Poison... Should the Mechanic Change?

    I don't want to mess with conditions on the bench, even if it's not actually "in effect". I like the way it is now, BUT I also like the OP's idea of just having poison/burn do more damage. AS was said, when Hypnotoxic laser and virbank city gym were combined in the early XY days, status...

    Ruling Correct Ruling or PTCGO glitch?

    That's what I thought. For some reason I was getting 40 damage back on my Zoroark Break when I copied that attack and the only reason I could figure would have been because of Devoured Field. I thought maybe someone else might have an idea.

    Ruling Correct Ruling or PTCGO glitch?

    Cards included: Zoroark Break and Raichu GX Zoroark Break attacks using Foul play (Choose one of your opponent's active pokemon's attacks and use it as this attack) and copies Thunder attack (160 + this pokemon does 30 damage to itself) while Devoured Field stadium is in play (Attacks of...
