    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    I pulled some Tag Team cards (2xCelebi-Venusaur TTGX, 1x Pikchu-Zekrom-TTGX, Latias&Latios-TTGX and 1x Eevee&Snorlax-TTGX) so I could start testing out with these cards. Here are my first impressions in regards to TTGX and a brief overview of match results and game play analysis. For the record...

    Discussion Using Pokemon Communication

    Ultra Ball can always be played on your first turn and will never fail you. Pokemon Communication (PC) will make sure you do not waste useful resources and save them for later. This is why as you described, PC can be more valuable in a deck that is very tight in space. PC is dependent as you...

    Standard Silvally-GX Weakness Memory

    I have not tried playing Sylvally-Gx for a decent while but I will try to help. - Most people run 1 field blower so I would use either 1-2 memories per type. 3 seems overkill from my point of view. Make sure your deck is consistent. Adding too many useless turn 1 cards can make you brick. Also...

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    Here is a list I intend to make when Pheromosa&Buzzwole-TTGX is out and I believe should be very good. ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 16 * 2 Tapu Lele-GX GRI 137 * 1 Shaymin-EX ROS 77 * 1 Dedenne-GX * 1 Comfey GRI 93 * 1 Xerneas {*} LOT 144 * 1 Unown AOR 30 * 1...

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    For those interested in making TagTeam-Gx decks, i definitely recommend using the Ninja Boy/Shaymin/Mallow draw engine. Using Ninja Boy on a TagTeam-Gx can deny your opponent prizes and Jolteon-Ex is MVP against TagTeam-Gx which makes this deck great for the upcoming format. However, not all...

    Standard Altaria-GX (Dragon + Water) Deck

    Yes in standard it is harder to draw into special energy. Too bad that Mallow is rotating because Dedenne-Gx with Mallow would have allowed for a powerful search engine in standard. In expanded I use Shaymin/Mallow to draw into Beast Energy and make Pheromosa-Gx donk reliable. I was hoping that...

    Standard Altaria-GX (Dragon + Water) Deck

    At the moment I do not play much Standard and do not use those attackers much but I have experienced a bit with them in the past and just now because I wanted to update my current knowledge of it. I tested a few games with different ideas. Sometimes I felt like I was missing a Magcargo in the...

    Standard Altaria-GX (Dragon + Water) Deck

    I made this other list more focused on Altaria-Gx (1-2 line). I felt the last version with Noivern-Gx was still a bit too slow for my liking (too many hammers and stuff that can make you brick 1st turn). Altaria-Gx suits more my play style also. ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List...

    Standard Altaria-GX (Dragon + Water) Deck

    I made a good template for you guys to work from. It includes cards to make it more consistent and more competitive. I opted for a disruptive deck approach. With this in mind, I included both Noivern-Gx and Altaria-Gx in the deck so you can choose which one is the best given the situation. They...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    DCE would affect the meta a lot. I am scared of what would result from this. It would help against those cheap shot attacks that only require 2 colorless energy hence 1 attachment you are talking about and that could be a good thing. On the other hand, it would remove a lot of Pokemon that have...

    Standard Altaria-GX (Dragon + Water) Deck

    Here are a few cards I would use/experiment with Altaria-Gx. 1. Ditto Prism with Lance Prism. By using those 2 cards you could easily remove 2 Swablu from your list to free some space. You could in theory play no Swablu at all and entirely rely upon those 2 cards to set Altaria-Gx up with the...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    I believe that the only way to solve the problem is to ban Zoroark-Gx. They tried to ban something else than Zoroark-Gx last time remember? They banned Hex Maniac, Puzzle of Time and Ghetsis which where all part of Zoroark's domination. Now we have some Garbotoxin/Klefki variant to replace Hex...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    I am talking here specifically about expanded because i believe Zoroark is not a problem in standard format. If you look closely at the matchup you will see that this is by no means one sided for the Buzzwole player. Zoroark in expanded can OHKO Buzzwole with the help of Sky Field and it's...

    Discussion Zoroark-Gx or not Zoroark-Gx

    There as been a lot of talk lately about the state of the game in the expanded format and the way things are getting out of control with Zoroark-Gx. I found recent articles and podcasts discussing the issues that Zoroark-Gx brings to the format and debates around what should be banned to make...

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    Thank you for posting. My previous post whas an attempt at keeping things more general and giving basic ideas up with some interesting sm8/sm9 cards. I am very happy to go into this specific matchup for you and talk more specifically about NM decks. Has you said, NM only has basic attackers...

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    The deck feels smooth and there are so many niche techs, flexibility and combos to pull off that it makes it the most enjoyable deck to play ever (sorry about me being biased). Jolteon-Ex is a win condition by himself, has free retreat which works very nicely with Xerneas PS and can buy you...

    Standard An Attempt To Mill (Rhyperior/Charizard GX/Shedinja/Meganium)

    Pokemon Communication (reprinted soon) could help the deck be more consistent since you play 21 Pokemon. Maybe you could try using Raichu with Evochoc to paralyse instead of the Shedinja line.

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    Tapu Koko PS will be awesome for the deck. This Pokemon will work very well with Ninja Boy/Xerneas Prism/Zeraora-Gx/Jolteon-Ex/Eevee&Snorlax-Gx and will most likely become the primary acceleration form for the deck (replacing Ho-oH Ex and the basic energies version shown in this post) when it...

    Expanded Ninja Box SM8/SM9

    The only reason you would include it is for weakness. If you include Marshadow-Gx you will likely need more Battle Compressor and less Ninja Boy cards. The more Pokémon in your discard pile, the less useful Ninja Boy becomes. With Marshadow-Gx you will also want to have Strong Energy in order to...

    Help Fun Deck ideas

    If you want to play edgy, like to work on your deck constantly and like to have flexibility in your tech options and if you play expanded check out my last Ninja Box deck. While it has still a few weakness it can win against a lot of matchup. I believe that SM9 will also give it a very good...
