Hello everyone! We’re getting toward the end of the season, with only a week left to go until the NAIC. It’s getting to be crunch time; for those aiming for a Worlds invite, the NAIC is the last chance to get those much-needed points, whereas for those who aren’t, the NAIC nonetheless represents the largest tournament of the year. The NAIC also is unique in that it will be our only major event in the Twilight Masquerade format, as there are no Regional Championships during the upcoming period, and the World Championships won’t occur until the release of Shrouded Fable. It isn’t just the first event of the new format — it’s the only one! Yes, there will be some League Challenges and whatnot with it afterward, but those will be for the 2025 season; for this season, it’s all or nothing at the NAIC.
As with other modern ICs, the lack of events beforehand means that the format will still be relatively new and unrefined by time the NAIC rolls around, which will give a big advantage to...

I haven't lost to a solo dragapult online yet, and I've played around 10-12. I play raging bolt and if I get a KO turn 1 the game is close to almost over if I can keep it up as well. The only dragapult i've never beat is actually the lost zone one, as most of the time people online just rare candy to the dragapult and do not get multiple drakloaks in play. I feel like raging bolt is so much better in term of constancy and match up spread, where you just kinda autowin against decks like miraidon
 
I stopped reading after underestimating blissey ex. Then immediately after praising Dragapult?! It's a meme deck, it loses to Blissey lmao
 
I have a Drag-Tu and Gre-Lass deck built. I like the build of the Dragpult and Xatu list. The deck runs smooth BUT I can see the up side of running Pidgeot. The sheer draw power when you need it is key. I added a one-one line of Pidgeot and I'm eager to try it out.

The Greninja and Froslass deck it fun to play, just damage counters every where and Greninja and 2HKO and snipe for 120 on two different targets is fun too

No mention of Oger/Bolt whatsoever. Must be saving that one for himself for NAIC.

I made a Teal-Bolt last week and won my local Friday night play. The deck is super fun to play, only downside I see to it is the number of 2-prizers; however once you got energy in the discard and sada pumping with pal pad then it is not so bad loosing an attacker. Get knocked, teal dance some energy into play, Sada, and Bellowing Bolt for knock.
