Any auto-loss that can be solved will bring about an adaptation.
I need to test it out once I actually have the cards to do so, but I believe you. I was already interested in the concept.
I have been testing Flareon-Ex/Team magma camerupt aswell. I love to play it and I think it can stand it's ground in the standard format.
There is a Promo Ho-Oh and a Promo BREAK for it that has a FFCC Attack that hits for 160. That could the take the place of Charizard-EX
It's actually three fire two colorless, so no. I'm not impressed with it's other moves.
You're right, my bad. It may still be the best option to Jolteon though.
The hp wall effect charizard creates is very important to certain matchups. Mega charizard seems like the best option. The new one breaks the damage cap significantly. This is a speed deck so spirit link isn't necessarily vital.
However, if someone would prefer another counter, that doesn't make you lose a turn, what would it be?
Not if you want to remain competitive. Hooh break is the only solid alternate partner choice future but he's not great. You'll change your mind about mega charizard from generations when you Ohko your first mega manectric, belted toad or belted hooh ex with two heads and muscle band. I carry hex maniac for giratinas. This let me sweep through toad Tina quite effectively.
That fifty damage allows mega manectric to setup a Jolteon EX knockout, potentially locking you out of the game again. Vitality is important right now, otherwise I'd agree.And why the Generations one instead of the Flashfire one?
Sure it does 50 damage to itself, but you're not relying on a flip coin.
I would not agree in the first place. FLF M Charizard is almost laughably slow. It is pretty much impossible to set it up in one turn. The only thing you can do is Blacksmith to a base Charizard, DCE, and hopefully a Max Elixir goes through. Then you attach a Protection Cube, and Mega Evolve. Did you attack? No. No you didn't. Way too slow.
It is not supposed to be fast. Also this guarantees a knockout on something trying to abuse max potion, super scoop up, etc. It's called "breaking the damage barrier". Entei and charizard ex cap at 170 for zero to hero damage. The mega charizard generations makes it possible to Ohko walls for the same four energies. In fact since its two turns, you can realistically conserve dce for other attackers or switching costs.
The FLF M Charizard has to be played quickly in order to be playable, which it truly isn't. Also, I never said GEN M Charizard was bad. If I did, I didn't mean it. It is a scary card but has to be played quickly and needs Trick Coin. Another thing-FLF M Charizard takes 5 not 4 energy to attack.
The trick coin and the five seemed irrelevant in play testing. The damage to self seemed to be more of a problem. I prefer the flexibility of four so I can dodge the crushing hammer setbacks.
