Counter Field counters Teal Mask Ogerpon completely.

Festival lead became the festival masters indeed with this one bois, love the ruinous Pokémon cards

Great video! Cool deck! I've had a lot of fun playing with a similar deck idea!👍🔥

15:12 what they did to my boy, why a stage two would have a 70 attack and a 140 attack that can deal 280 or just make you unable to attack while having a 2 retreat cost? 😢

It's not a tier 1 out of the gate set. But it has an insane amount of potential post rotation and for future sets. Ceruledge is already a beast Archelodon has great potential with a future partner Pikachu needs to find a good home other than a tech in miraidon Hydreigon is going to get better once we have limited OHKO options And Slaking has amazing consistency with fan rotom. I'm happy none of these cards absolutely need stuff after rotation. Because they have the greatest potential going forward 😊

ceruledge is insane.

Tera-chu with miraidon ex help me climbed Masters

All food for Dondozo, obviously....

istg people are so dramatic. Yes, even the 3 strongest new decks in the set (Ceruledge, Pikachu and Archaludon imo) won't be winning a regional immediately, but this is perfectly normal for a lot of new decks. This community has the memory of a goldfish sometimes, just look at Raging Bolt when Temporal Forces dropped vs Raging Bolt now, it used to be an extremely gimmicky rogue deck, and even when the full setlist for Twilight Masquerade was out, Ogerpon as a partner for Bolt was seen as off meta, after Ogerpon lists took over an event in Japan (Japan Championships 2024) popular opinion started to change, then it took a couple months to optimize it and now it's top 2 in usage, behind Regidrago, another card that was even more mid at release then any of the new decks in Surging Sparks. The potential of these new cards is there, they are winning city leagues in japan and online tournaments everywhere else, something we didn't see other decks of the SV era like Hydrapple or Galvantula do despite the hype, time will tell but some of these decks are a tech or 2 away from being legit meta threats.

Thanks for showcasing a few of my cards!

I love the coinflips. Adds alot of wacky variance. I guess it depends how much you want to all in on being competitive. But from a casual standpoint stuff like marowak is so fun to me.

i just dont feel like those deck can compete with any real deck

ugh. theres nothing wrong with the metagame some cards are better than others cause guess what? the cards are different OF COURSE PEOPLE WANNA USE THE BEST CARDS considering there are at LEAST three meta relevant decks and that we have only one set i think were doing pretty d@mn good rn wanna see a REAL broken meta? play YGO wanna see a REAL broken pokemon meta? play base set vintage and enjoy all the haymaker hitmonchan and electabuzz decks and literally nothing else 💀💀💀💀💀

I get its a casual game and thats why i enjoy pocket over the original game....But none of these cards are "op" even with the little amount of cards out theres a very balanced meta. Mistybeing Aggro win fast/Lose fast, pikachu being a good Midrange, Charizard/Mewtwo/Dragonite being Ramp type decks, and Marowak/Arbok/Execute Control. the balance is there when people arent being babies about not winning every match. the only thing thats really Unusable i think its Steel or Normal decks.

Lol when you play weezing dnite you aren't supposed to leave the dark energy in

I was thinking I was bad at this game since I was struggling to win more than half of my games in PVP and then I opened my second Pikachu EX. I might still be bad at the game (not sure), but I’m winning a lot more at least lol

Bro chill with the over yapping at the beginning

The Meta is pretty fine. You can play lots of different Decks and have success

Love the Koga/Weezing/Arbok deck. You either get a quick Concede win, Early Mid Win or lose instantly. Great for grinding. Still Feel like I get more consistent play with the Mewtwo ex deck but Rocket Koga deck is much more fun, fast and varied play.

Pikachu EX is so overtuned. Hard to overcome that deck when they get a good start. The balance is for this game is a little all over to be honest. Hope they have some non ex modes coming. It would be nice to see some other off meta decks being played.

My question is how to join these and were to find them

are there going to be tournaments using the custom cards

Been testing the similar deck lately. I get rid of ability pokemon and switched Xatu for Dundunsparce for the draw engine. Now I can utilize Cofagrigus which is doing better damage than Uxie for most matchups. The last ingridient I have is Alolan Raticate with Reversal energy and Vengeful Punch. Strategy is to attack with uxie turn1, then switch to Cofagrigus if the opponent have more ability pokemon while setting up the Rat. After rat super fanged enemy beefy Exes it's time for the uxie to finish off or just Azelf to one shoot anything. Still it tricky to win but I started winning games against some meta decks.

that Mew ex puts hydreigon, charizard, dragapult, greninja ex in the lost zone would be crazy for sniping deck, and char for late game.

The Chi-Yu was mine i later on remade the ability to work like chien poa's

I did zygarde, team rush, and all the cards in between! Tysm for showing mine. Also the attack on full form should be “you may”

The Master Ball doesnt prevent you from decking out, cause you cant play it, if your deck is empty. The content of your decks is hidden, but the number of cards in your deck is open knowledge, so if the deck is at zero after pulling the Master Ball, you camt search for a Pokémon in your deck, cause there isnt a possibility, that there is one.

I had to make a second comment because YT was lagging too much with everything I wrote in the first one lol. *Mew ex -* Good effect, and reminiscent of Mew from Triumphant which I also liked as a card. I’d imagine it being pretty powerful in Lost Box, assuming that this would be legal while F is in Standard. With that being said, it feels like it would thrive in Expanded, which I _love._ The art is also great! *Espeon -* This card sucks conceptually. The entire point of the Lost Zone is that nothing can be retrieved from it, and this card breaks that rule. That is stupid. Now it’s just a glorified discard pile that’s slightly more tedious to work with than before. Bad card. *Umbreon -* Much better! Trade but with the Lost Zone, so it works. The damage of the attack would honestly work better for an ex though, given how much the damage can scale. *Yanma -* Just a nitpick here, but Scouting would only work in the game if you revealed or “looked at” the cards from the top of your deck before putting them into your hand, and evolving afterwards. That’s because for effects which manipulate certain cards from the top of your deck, it acts as a method of confirmation that what you saw is compliant with the conditions set. If you simply drew the cards, they would be considered private information and you could lie about you drawing into a Yanmega when you had one in your hand the whole time. It’s pretty much the same reason why Propagation Exeggcute is so powerful, and fundamentally broken. *Yanmega -* Nothing to say here; it looks like a good, vanilla card. *Yanmenga ex -* Just personal preference, but I’d remove the “another” in the attack effect, and make the effects deal 50 and 70 damage respectively to avoid confusion. That way it doesn’t sound as sloppy, and fits in with how cards like Reuiniclus and Politoed function. *Substitute Doll -* Decent enough, but I’m not sure if _another_ doll card is needed in the format. *Kecleon -* I like its interaction with the doll, but I dislike the wording on its attack. I get that you don’t want to have two abilities, or one with separate functions, but introducing a new mechanic where certain _attacks_ have their own types is a bit much. I think this would work best if a different Pokémon had the doll ability, and Kecleon itself was a separate card altogether with an ability identical to the Rapid Strike one. *Shroodle and the rest of the Substitute cards -* I didn’t realize this was gonna be a package gimmick. Grafaiai is probably the best out of the available options with its relation to Shroodle, Kecleon I went over, and Frogadier is odd because it can still evolve, and Greninja wouldn’t have that ability, making it pointless. *Double Dragon Energy -* My guess is that this is supposed to be an indirect nerf to the DDE in Expanded, so that makes sense. In Standard, I think this works well enough! *Dragonite ex -* No. Just no. We do _not_ need another Regidrago VSTAR, let alone one with a built-in acceleration engine, the one thing that held Regidrago back from being BDIF until Ogerpon came out. *Baxcalibur ex -* I _refuse_ to believe that they haven’t made one of these yet solely because they’re afraid of breaking Chien-Pao ex decks. Anyways, I like it’s ability and attack, but I guess a more cohesive way to word it is to make its weakness every type during your opponent’s next turn, as that’s a built-in mechanic in the game to make double damage without directly mentioning it? Dragons don’t have a weakness anyways, so it doesn’t overlap with anything. I could see someone cooking this with Survival Brace! *Sweet Honey and Vespiquen -* Both good cards, I like the effects, nothing else.

Okay, I might as well provide some judgement for these. *Cherish Ball -* Provided that it gets renamed to avoid an errata with the original Cherish Ball, it seems fair. The condition for it to not be played in the first turn is very much needed and appreciated. *Master Ball (buff) -* Also nice, but I’m not sure if it’s quite enough to compete with the other ACE SPECs. Maybe shuffle it to the top of the deck so it can be combined with draw effects? *Chi-Yu -* Very powerful, and most likely on the OP side of things. It feels like it was designed _specifically_ for Charizard decks given the type of support it gives, so it would be a guaranteed one-of in every Zard deck out there. It also pushes darkness engines into obscene categories of damage, since their whole shtick is swinging for massive numbers early on. Chi-Yu + Binding Mochi = chaos. *Chien-Pao -* I don’t understand why this one needs other Pokémon for both its attack and ability to function while Chi-Yu is self-sustaining. Not really a dock for the actual viability of the card (I’ll get to that), but it’s a weird choice for the concept. For its ability, it feels very reminiscent of the Regi package, but… a lot worse. Maybe it would have its place once Dark Patch rotates, but at the moment, the amount of effort it takes to get 4 different Pokémon into play (that can’t be called via Poffin at that) is quite steep for the buff that’s effectively a fee Dark Patch on each of your Pokémon. The fact that your opponent benefits from this as well is pretty silly. _I just noticed this now, and I don’t know if it was intended, but this ability doesn’t have anything that prevents it from stacking. If you have an AZU setup or the likes, you can reduce the attack costs by several energy at a time which feels odd thematically._ *Super-Collapsed Stadium -* Okay… I guess? I could imagine it being used in certain decks like Quad Thorns or a counter to AZU decks, but niche everywhere else. Seems inoffensive, so it’ll get a pass. *Zygarde Cards* Since they’re all pretty interconnected, I’ll go through all of them at once. Firstly, it’s weird that the forms are being treated as evolution stages when neither the games or even the cards themselves seem to treat than that way. Full Form Zygarde’s ability also has an oversight that makes its interaction with Zygarde Cube useless. The wording on its attack is also strange. It does 240 damage no matter what, but it suggests that you _have_ to discard the other 2 from your bench, but then it… KO’s your opponent anyways. And unless you have an _additional_ 2 of the other Zygarde’s in play, you’ll KO yourself as well. It feels like too much work to set up when if you want a kamikaze attacker, the Annihilape that KO’s both active for a single energy is that much simpler. _Another probably unintended interaction that I noticed afterwards: if you put the Full Form Zygarde into play with the cell card without the other ones in play, it immediately dies. While that may just sound pointless, being able to give your opponent Prize Cards whenever you want is a very powerful effect, and I wouldn’t be surprised if something in Expanded breaks open because of it._ *Arven’s Feast -* Another rather complex one, but much better conceptually than the Zygarde package. The art is also really nice, so I’ll give it that. Shuffling one of your Pokémon into your deck is honestly a pretty good effect all things considered. Not as good as something like Turo, but there’s the secondary effect to go with it. I’d remove the coin flip from the second option, because shuffling a Pokémon then drawing 3 seems like a perfectly fine effect for a Supporter card to have. *Pheromosa -* Aw man! The theme for Ultra Beasts is that they all have some effect related to Prize Cards, but this one has none! Anyways, being able to mill a card in a turn is decent. Ironically, combining it with the updated Master Ball would work great, as you could mill it and out it back into the deck! Even more ironically, if you went with my iteration that specifically put it on top of your deck, it would be even more disgusting. So if that were the case, I wouldn’t have my Master Ball and this Pheromosa existing in the same format. The attack is pretty meh, but you’ll be using it for the ability anyways, so it’s fine. *Bronzong -* Another strange one. Its ability sabotages itself, because you’d assume that using its ability on one of your Pokémon means you want to attack with it that turn (or fuel Bronzong’s own attack, which, fair, but then why have the other effect for reasons I’ll get to). It changes the attack costs of that Pokémon to require metal energy instead of whatever other type it normally needs which is very fun, _but why do you need to discard energy attached to it for that effect to take place?_ All that does is make it harder for you to take advantage of that effect because you’ll need to put the extra work into accelerating the energy in that same turn. It would probably need a rework if anything. The attack is also pretty overtuned, so something like a 70 damage modifier would make more sense. *Skipping Team Rush because it would need a lot more dissecting to figure out everything in the package and how they interact.* *Spiritomb -* I actually really like this one! Providing a rainbow energy effect at the cost of a kind of self-poison is very neat! If I were to change something though, it’s to remove the last bit that says the effect cannot be blocked. I’d say that players creative enough to find a loophole should be rewarded for it by being able to exploit that loophole. It’s not like it’s very game-breaking when bypassed for this one in particular anyways. It would also conflict with temple of Sinnoh, which would turn off its effect that can’t be turned off.

Call it "TCG Proper" TCG Pocket isn't real cards, and has no tournament circuit as of now. The only game that's worth talking about competitively should be considered the "proper" variant

37:50 best energy ever in the total game 😿

Master Ball should allow you to check prizes as well.

Isn't that Mew ex just Lost Link Mew from Triumphant but better?

38:06 "Vespiquen ex which we don't have" Tera Vespiquen would like a word.

Yooo, insane cards from the server lads!

It works better with a 3-3 line of Froslass. So you can also play Irida along with Arven, to go fetch items even more consistently.

all fun and games till they dusknoir your rabsca and then greninja you. still sounds fun to try though

I play a more aggressive build without the rabsca line, just manaphy and hit masters with it LOL

Did you forget to upload this? these cards have been out almost 2 weeks

Was curious if munkidori could slot in well? The only sacrifice is having to run luminous energy but it can spread damage off your board like radiant zam. I also just don't know if you ever run into many scenarios where your pokemon survive multiple attacks to make it worth it. Either way super cool deck I plan on running Uxie in my king Gambit deck for the damage spread

i was really interested in this deck, looks fun

Ceruledge is stronk. Maybe BDIF.

I've tried this with prime catcher and with Legacy energy so far, I think I prefer the prime catcher + palkia build

it doesnt feel that bad to lose a ranked match since theres no penalty for losing

They made radiant Jirachi into a an ace spec.. I love it

I liked the old Pokémon TCG Online better than this new one.

Imagine sitting ontop of potentially 12million a day. And just saying meh whatever.

God packs exist :o

I disagree a lot with most of your takes here. Ladder so far feels much better, with the rebalance it introduced much less punishing losses ( in some cases, like after losing a win streak, you lose 0 points on the ladder for a loss), making games feel much less punishing if you lose, and the win streak only adds 3 additional points on the base 10 at best. This makes the ladder far more casual friendly, as you're less likely to drop so suddenly, and ideally should lead to less toxicity. Also, kind of irritating so much of the video was about unrelated content not mentioned in the letter whatsoever. The letter didn't mention anything about Expanded and that was about a third what was talked about.

they could get rid of the 3D avatars completely, they're kinda ugly and not even fun to customise (nor needed for the game itself)
