And still we had literally great ARs and SIRs after that one card. So no.
Cynthia’s Garchomp ex and More from “Heat Wave Arena” Revealed!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Oh come on
Holy cow! The Roserade can Stack....Am I glad it's a stage 1 in the TCG!
I bet that Garchomp has a killer SIR. Too bad it doesn’t pair with the Paradox Rift Garchomp. Don’t understand why the Gibles and Beldums and such needs to be Owner’s Pokemon as well, it really limits deckbuilding possibilities with Pokemon literally of the same line
The deck has some good ideas to start with, mainly Gabite being a really good stage 1, but Garchomp still has an energy acceleration problem and damage problem. Not being able to hit the 260 attack in consecutive turns is gonna hold it back against decks that will try to go for OHKOs, particularly Raging Bolt, Teal Mask, and Zard late game. Gutsy Pickaxe sucks, Blaziken ex would be a really dedicated amount of space and already that works better with Mamoswine. We really, really need to find out if the deck will get anything for energy accel. The deck has great HP, but it will always be waking a thin line from tool removal/negation.
People who expect to stack multiple Roserade need to think through the chances of and benefit of each Roserade you put up. 1 Roserade is east and gives good 130 and 290 numbers, but the buff of a second Roserade only really helps with OHKOing Arch or Dragapult. Arch isn’t an issue for Garchomp as is until Zacian comes out to play, which you don’t need a second Roserade for. A third Roserade let’s you take out Zard and let Garchomp prize snipe for 1 energy, but are you really expecting to make a board like that? I wouldn’t be surprised if the deck stuck to either a small count of Roserade or just tossed aside Roserade for Dusknoir for better numbers overall.
I like this theme way more than Marnie and Iono off the bat, but we definitely need to see more cards or do some problem solving before calling it good.

You cant evolve a regular garchomp from a cynthia's gabite or cynthia's gible
gotta reuse this sadly (I doubt it will be that good)
It would be interesting to see if we can play up to 4 of a Pokemon AND the owner's Pokemon (for example, 4 Zorua and 4 N's Zorua,) if we can, this would be busted.
I mean, it’s always possible that they’ll print more cards like the Armarouge from Scarlet & Violet that can turn Ethan’s Ho-Oh ex into generic Energy acceleration, shaking up these archetypes up to two years later. It’s also possible that some trainers will receive one or two solid cards which honestly benefit more from existing engines than what they were packaged with (Like Erika’s Clefairy ex). But yeah, a lot of these will probably have pretty obvious builds.
I’m more worried about Spiritomb being able to swing into 2HKO decks for 200+ damage with minimal investment.
Roserade's ability stacks, so thats pretty cool. Gabite is a decent consistency addition and Spiritomb is a solid one-prize attacker. +70HP is a wacky number, but I mean 30 less for no major downside (ace spec, bonus prizes) makes sense. We hopefully will see a Cynthia's Togekiss that could really push this deck up to the next level.
That roserade AR is so beautiful
Roserade can stack too. With 2 you're doing 320!
I agree it's good but do you really think you have room for Cynthia's Garchomp, Tera Garchomp, and Roserade? That seems like a lot. It would be one thing if the Garchomps could evolve from the same Gible but they can't. Still I think this is shaping up to be a really good deck and so happy I was really wanting this to be good. I love Garchomp.
Guys will say this and play every lists Japan makes.
Good for you. Deck seems awesome too, problem seems to be there currently isn't a way to stream Garchomps, other than Garganacl.
We just don't want her to murder us... ... ...again... ... ...and again.
Trust us, we struggle with the fact that she's both one of the deadliest Champions of all time AND one of the most attractive characters in the franchise, it's a vicious combination that demands glaze and respect (and, as we'll no doubt soon see, wallets)
Real
Ya no one builds their own deck and if they do the second it struggles they'll use the list from Japan. But thank you. I do wonder how getting the energy back on will work. There doesn't seem like a good way to do it currently. Having to use a stage 2 just to attach 1 doesn't seem like it's going to cut it. Not all the cards are revealed yet though so maybe there will be an item or a Cynthia supporter that will attach from discard?
