    Standard Gyarados / Drifblim

    I would prioritize getting the Gyarados online more than anything here. Your #1 priority is keeping energy in play if you start taking KOs. Baton is required here as the deck needs 2W1C. Aqua patch is good but it needs setup. I would drop Volcanion here in favor of TV reporter for draw support...

    Standard Alolan Ninetales/Manaphy

    I play a close variant to this but Gyarados + the BUS ninetales. Points to review 1) Ninetails GX doesn't make good use of choice band in the meta. 190 dmg is basic GX health only. 2) 9 water energy leave aqua patch at 4 as a hand clog and only UB with discard. This doesn't leave you with an...

    Standard Charizard

    The only consistency we can currently hope for with fire right now is hitting Kiawae on T1, and charging up something solid, after that you start the pressure + getting your zards online. Pointers are don't play too many GX in a non-GX centered attacking deck. I would suffice to say to drop...

    News Tapu Lele-GX in 'Island Guardians-GX Premium Collection' This Fall!

    Why do we care so much about her ability anyhow? Are you all so obsessed with having OP tools to rely on for strategy? Though perhaps the games inherent deck inconsistencies are to blame.. Hm. Food for thought.

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    Looks like fluff to me, and i am usually very open minded. We have a lot better for spread damage and its main attack is extremely lackluster. You can never afford to let up on the pressure. The card begs to be hit-&-run but its retreat punishes that. If it was CC retreat i could use this, but...

    Standard Ultra Necrozma GX/Malamar again lol

    The brush is good if youre running basic energy, loto is amazing for finding specials, ie DCs or in case your suggestion of Unit Energy is taken, it can find that too. While its only 7 or so pulls, thats roughly 10-20+% (depending on when you use this) of your deck you're drawing in order to...

    Standard Ultra Necrozma GX/Malamar again lol

    With the new Prism Stadiums coming up i would consider upping Moone to x4 when the time comes (if youre even still running this deck). Main Thoughts: I never bothered with Rescue Stretcher, never needed it. Was also highly efficient with 1 beast ring and adding several (2-3) order pads...

    Alt. Format (SUM-LTH) Wait, This Is Viable Now? (Luxray/Alolan Muk)

    I guess my suggesting Max Potion really overlooked the strict use of Disconnect. Using the potion would scrap your Memory Energy, and thats counter intuitive to your intended use for the set up. I am still a strong advocate of denying prize cards, as its won me countless games. With that said...

    Alt. Format Leafeon/Decidueye Post Rotation Deck

    Aye, let us know how this goes if you can get it running. Im missing a few things for it. Some more thoughts: -Can -2 Dartrix (1) and +2 rare candy (4) since you're running 9 balls. -Could also drop PokeNav now that i've been thinking and add Apricot Maker x1-2 to find those balls. -Take 1...

    Alt. Format Leafeon/Decidueye Post Rotation Deck

    I like it, and i actually want to test it out for myself... Though if you've gotten a chance to use this over the weekend, let me know how its gone. ^_^ If there are still consistency issues, we can't def work on those. Space is def tight in this one because of the evo lines. Just by looking at...

    Alt. Format (SUM-LTH) Wait, This Is Viable Now? (Luxray/Alolan Muk)

    Looks clean and i like that. No muddy strats, pretty straight forward, but its still plagued by a few issues. 1) New Prism stadiums can't be blown, but can be replaced. Issue here is the lost zone. Its best to expect youll get one attack off with the stadium and itll be back to 2L1C if removed...

    Standard Annoying Shuckle Thing (Shuckle GX/Seviper/Honchkrow)

    Yeah, i actually think this will be an OK card. He just isn't you main attacker and the stat should be focused on getting him in and out when need be. The main issue is that its not overly hard for an opponent to attach 3 energy in a lot of matchups like malamar, water patch, metagross, beast...

    'Explosive Impact,' Japan's SM8 Set; Raises Questions About Switch Release

    Enough of you have said it looks best ever... Too few have commented that its a trash card. A wasted opportunity indeed.

    Alt. Format Leafeon/Decidueye Post Rotation Deck

    I see this is all about rushing Decidueye GX, but i think rushing isn't all that necessary. Leafeon's ability allows it to be quite tanky, especially when body-building dumbbells are added for the +40 hp. You should focus less on having the perfect opener and opt to make the deck more...

    Alt. Format Post Rotation Alolan Muk (GX)/Salazzle Deck

    No one seems to like this deck at all. I didn't get much interest in it when i posted a similar list some weeks ago too. I think at least Alolan Muk will see some play if Ray-GX gets super popular which also knocks out Tapu-lele and Oranguru's abilities. Double evos to ensure KOs is the only...

    Standard StevenGross

    I hope that card never gets printed again. Stevens Resolve is also pretty insane, so its no surprise you like PoT. Effects like that are moving to 1 per game GX attacks if you've noticed some of the cards that have similar effects. Ie: Gardy-GX, Decidueye-GX, Banette-GX. The only thing thats got...

    Standard Post rotation Charizard deck

    Right. My main issue here is evo decks don't start swinging by turn 2 like some really staple decks like buzz and Unecrozma. If the opponent sees you loading up a Charizard or it's pre-evos, you're gonna get Guzmad and you're out of the game with wasted turns. The pressure needs to be applied...

    Standard Post rotation Charizard deck

    I've been looking to build something like this but i feel adding more evo lines is a mistake. I would go for basic support attackers, like Reshirim/Ho-Oh and i would support them with Kiwae. It takes time to set Charizard up and you can't afford to be messing around with Salandits while you are...

    News 'Dark Order,' Japan's October Mini-Set!

    Couple of past mistakes being fixed and balanced! Nice!. Both Ninja Boy and Bridgette are absolutely broken as f***. These are great additions to the meta. Tough for Nanu since we dont currently have more than 1-2 meta defining dark pokemon. Regardless, my Umbreon-GX deck will love this.

    Standard Muk-GX (post rotation)

    HEY, i love MUK! I'd like to see this post rotation, but know its a horrible idea to run. Despite this, i try anyhow-- because im a masochist. I hope you appreciate my honesty here at least! Anyhow, apart from being a generally horrible matchup against Buzzwole, the deck currently doesn't...
