I have to agree that Salandit/Salazzle are kind of weird in how they sequence. Maybe it'd make more sense if male and female Salandit were seperate cards Nidoran style where you evolve the female Salandit to Salazzle to poison and then swarm with the male Salandits to capitalize on the set up? With what we got though, the most interesting thing about Salandit is that it only requires neutral energy, so you can technically slide it into any poison deck to increase your type coverage.

15:10 its me. I'm Gengar EX believers :)

As a Volcarona enthusiast, I will be making a Volcarona deck. Might not be *that* bad with celebi being a T1 deck right now, but it's definitely going to struggle with consistency.

Oops just noticed I wrote down the non-ex Pikachu's attack wrong, its damage is based on your bench, not your opponent's. My bad 😅

FIRST!

Thanks, if only Blaine wasn't the only gym leader I have 0 copies of :)

Used this core to clear the whole event. It is incredibly consistent. I subbed out the potions for 2x Giovanni to have more consistent KOs against the kangaskhan in the elite node's list.

This is such a fun list and I love that it doesn't rely on a stage 2 or ex.

I like that you said the Mankey/primeape isn’t as great as advertised. It’s awesome if you can attack first with mankey and have primeape in hand. But primeape gets one shot by starmie ex. Sandslash is way more consistent. And it can 2 shot a lot of the exs when primeape without damage cannot

Sandslash and Dugtrio are also really good with Marowak Ex. Dugtrio having a 50% chance of being protected when using dig has saved me a number of times when I need energy. Although often my opponent has been using Sabrina when that happens, but that also means they don't have that Sabrina for later. I've won matches with Dugtrio just because my opponent didn't have a Sabrina in their hand and my Dugtrio got a heads 4 times in a row, which is a 1/16 chance. Sandslash is nearly as good as primeape, but has more life and doesn't need to be damaged to deal decent damage. With a Giovani I can kill a lot of things since 80 hp is very common.

i like monkeys

This was really informative. Thank you so much!Primeape seemed like a really effective deterrent in the first round you showed. I also realize now how much I need a x speed

Love to see the two different playstyles with the deck!

Regarding the "Win this battle using a deck where all the Pokemon cards are of ◆, ◆◆, and/or ◆◆◆ rarity" task: you actually CANNOT use promo Mankey for this task. Turns out because it is a promo card, it doesn't actually have any rarity in the bottom left corner of the card, which technically means it does not fall under the criteria required. So just make sure to double-check the rarity in the bottom left corner of all your Pokemon before attempting that task. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused! Edit from future me: The event hourglasses do carry over to future drop events, so that theory I talked about regarding them is confirmed! You can save any event hourglasses you don't want to use for future drop events.

I love the variety in the Charizard packs. Builds toward several decks at once with a couple great core decks in Blaine and Charizard ex

This answered all my questions!

This guy really knows his stuff!

Big fan of the Mewtwo pack!

I still need 2 mankey from this event... I have too many Butterfree.

Ohhhh never thought about it like that - yeah, I'm probably going to save my event hourglasses for future events then
