Yeah, unfortunately this has been true in the tcg for awhile. Was kinda hoping we'd see something big done for them, but hey I can still hold out for a fossil expansion
Most of my success in the current battle event was with dragonite plus pidgeot with Chancey stall. Pidgeot can just sit in the back and switch out their main Pokémon to be a nuisance while dragonite kill all their weak back line . Got my gold emblem with this deck. This deck also worked well against the over used mewtwo EX plus gardevoir.
I played this deck a lot and fossil is IMO necessary because of how position-dependent it is. If you end up with a game state where you have a Moltres in the active spot with a powered up Charizard in the bench, it's basically GG. I don't even bother with the second Charmander or Moltres at that point and also summon/discard any extra fossils in case I get red-carded.
Been using a Kabutops deck with Heliolisk and Hitmonchan in an attempt to counter Pikachu EX meta. Gotta say, fossils are a big part of what makes it work so well, aside from weakness coverage.
When I heard this game is coming out I wasn’t interested because I thought it would be a cash grab. Your video made it seem cool and I want to give it a try, three days in and I already pulled a three star Charizard EX and almost have this deck re-created. $0 spent and the game doesn’t make you feel like you need to. Thanks for the recommendation
I've been using a dark deck based around poison stalling with Koffing/Weezing, using Koga to pull back active Weezing to put in another Weezing to replay the recalled koffing, or using Koga to pull Weezing back to put out the main hitter. My main hitters are Nidoqueen and 2 Nidokings. I tried using Muk but his setup is too niche
Hey ECH! Very cool to see you branch out into the TCG space. Coming from you video about the Yuuzhan Vong, and how you always try to articulate clear ideas, I think your terminology in the video is a bit confusing. "summoning" is really not a term used in pokemon TCG. Any card that is added from the deck to the hand is typically called a "search" and not a "summon". Summoning in TCGs generally refer to creatures hitting the playing field, which poke ball does not do outright. I didn't know about this strategy though so great video!
I just chose a random pokemon pocket video to be surprised by Ecks voice. Immediately subscribed and cant wait to see how the channel grows.
Same! I had to do a double take 😂
So that's what's wrong with my Kabutops Deck. It needs less Kabutops.

I’m new to Pokémon and decided to play bc a friend insisted, this is a nice thing to know since I though fossils and amber to be useless

It's like one of my dreams the fact you are doing a channel so seemingly out of left field

Clicked the video, was very surprised to hear Eck, was completely confused and surprised at first 😂
Yeah. It really does improve the deck.
Hockey. Star Wars. Now Pokemon. Man you’re a person of many skills.

Oh shit Eck has a TGCP youtube channel! Nice!
Eck?

@ nice 👍
Good stuff keep it up
why does retreat cost matter if the fossil card says it can't retreat
It doesn’t retract it withdraws. You discard it to the discard pile
