    Standard Thoughts on Exegutor GX Deck

    That's incorrect. The wording of the card specifically says "Each" grass energy counts as two. So if you have one it'll be two, two it'll be four, etc. What is meant by the "You can’t use more than 1 Lord of the Jungle Ability each turn." is that if you have two Venusaur on the field, the effect...

    News Japan's SM3 Sets for the 20th Movie Feature Ho-Oh and Necrozma!

    Not bad, not bad. With that retreat cost you'd need a good way to stream the attacks though. And on a side note, why do people keep saying play it with Aether Paradise? Have they not read the card? Basics only.

    Standard Vespiplume (Vileplume/Vespiquen) - US Nationals

    Doing damage and placing damage counters are not the same thing. Placing damage counters is an effect.

    Standard Fruitbats (Sceptile-EX/Ariados/bats)

    I actually tried out this deck before with some moderate success online. Here's the list I used. Pokemon: 19 2 Spinarak (AOR 5) 2 Ariados (AOR 6) 3 Sceptile-EX (AOR 7) 3 Zubat (PHF 31) 3 Golbat (PHF 32) 2 Crobat (PHF 33) 2 Shaymin-EX (ROS 77) 2 Virizion (AOR 12) Trainers: 33 3 Ultra Ball...

    Blog World Domination — An Analysis of State Championships and the New Legacy Format

    The reason people hate Night March is because it's toxic to the entire format. The fact that it's a single deck all other decks are stacked up against makes it terrible for the game. No single deck should have that much sway over the game. And they keep making it so much more powerful to boot by...

    Discussion Barbaracle: The Death of Night March?

    If you want to do damage to it, then you'd need a combination of Silent Lab + Barbarcle + Ninetales. It's important to note though, Hex Maniac, Delinquent, and a Bronzong variant could all very easily get around it. It'd be a lot more effective if Mew weren't coming out in the exact same set.

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    It also allows your opponent to wake up. 50/50 shot they stay asleep with Chaos Town.

    Discussion Defenses against Deliquent

    Honestly, I'm not sure if I can see Deliquent being that much of an early game threat, I think it'll be a mid-game hitter. As has already been stated, you'd need a stadium, red card, and deliquent turn 1 to actually hurt your opponent, but what if you're not hurting them? For a Maxie's Gallade...

    Discussion Possibly The Best Deck in Standard - XY8

    Zoroark being dependent on DCE? Cute cause it's so inaccurate. Baby Yveltal is in the list to accelerate dark energy from the discard pile, making energy a breeze. DCE exists to speed up the deck since any attacker can take advantage of it for a quick attack, but the deck in no way relies on it...

    Discussion Is ToadTina viable in Standard?

    Giratina and Seismitoad's main draws are their powers to lock your opponent from playing certain types of cards, without that, neither of them are particularly good. So bear in mind, next set we will see the Marowak whose ability protects your hand from effects of attacks, so that goes down the...

    Alt. Format Unlimited: Magnezone / Stunfisk

    I think before any help can truly be given, the question must be asked, what format are you wanting to play in? Your header reads standard, but your decklist is in the unlimited format. Elekid, Minun, Gust of Wind, Bebe's Search, Energy Removal, Pokemon Retriever and Professor Elm's Training...

    Expanded Donkizard (Charizard EX Donk)

    This isn't a donk.. at all. Donking is when you consistently take a turn 1 win. This deck doesn't even remotely have the ability to do that, the only way you can get a T1 win is if your opponent has a horrid start. Anyway. Regice alone totally murders this deck, you can't have just the main...

    Reread Overhead Throw. It does 20 damage to your own bench, not your opponent's.

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    If you really wanted to play with it, you could use Solar Birth Volcarona from Ancient Origins paired with Smeargle. Solar Birth > Get Ho-Oh + 2 Basic Energies Next turn attach a different energy to it, if it's a rainbow you're good to go. If it's a basic that you don't have, you're good to go...

    Discussion M Sceptile EX Help

    Personally, to deal with M. Ray, I use Zoroark. In M. Sceptile-EX, you want the damaged Sceptiles on the bench so an active one can use Jagged Saber to heal them, so Zoroark's Stand-In and retreat with a Float Stone works well for that. Onto the matter of M. Rayquaza, they'll charge it up fast...

    Alt. Format Future: The Emperor's Court (Yveltal EX / Gallade / Octillery)

    Not a direct substitute, no. I agree with you there. That's why I like it with Gallade, it means you can check and make sure you'll actually get an energy if you have a Max Elixir. Or maybe you have two cards in your hand, one of them being a Max Elixir, and you want to use Octillery for its...

    Alt. Format Future: The Emperor's Court (Yveltal EX / Gallade / Octillery)

    I know. I crossposted it on Reddit, and after I started thinking of adjustments I could make, I realized I forgot to put it in. *facepalm* Staple of the card game and I forget it. Edited with some changes.

    Alt. Format Future: The Emperor's Court (Yveltal EX / Gallade / Octillery)

    Someone else posted their Yveltal/Gallade deck, so I figured I'd share mine too! The new Gallade and Yveltal make solid partners, but they work together even better with one of the new cards coming out in (hopefully!) Breakpoint. Without further ado.. Pokemon: (12) 3 Yveltal EX 2 Gallade 2-2...

    Discussion Nerf Malamar EX!

    MAXamar is nowhere near the level of Evil Ball. It's 60HP yeah, but it's a coin flip. There's only a 12.5% chance of KOing an EX assuming there are three energies attached to it. As for the hypnosis, the coin flip is between turns. If you flip a heads and your Pokemon is awake, HH failed. If you...
