It's great imo, Misty needs some sort of change so water not being the meta means seeing less Misty. However, maybe it also means that Misty has a lower chance of being changed because it isn't top.
Pika is dominating just because Water is the stronger(thanks broken Misty), so it's funny to understand that the reason for the water absence is that water is too strong 😂. You "print" a broken card, it destrois the meta, like in this situation, because the meta morphs to counter that card.
Starmie Ex is super busted. Alot of decks just fold to a staryu 1 energy from misty into starmie. He'll even pika ex deck loses to starmie ex deck if it goes 2nd into a one heads misty flip I think.
I've been fond of the basic Mewtwo in that deck. It does wonders against the Pikachu match-up by giving you a one-prize baiter that can punish them in the end game if you draw it late. Having the math to KO Pikachu absolutely makes it good enough to include. Granted this means sometimes whiffing on a pokeball and thus a small tick against it for consistency, but I like the list better with it there rather than playing the extra XSpeed or Red Card. The same concept applies to him as you explained for Jynx and Kangaskhan, too. He helps smooth out brick draws by giving you something to wall with
When the game came out everyone said arcanine is trash, and it looked trash. But i got a second arcanine last week and started playing a budget deck with centiskorch and one moltress. and i somehow started blowing out pikachu's, charizards, and mewtwo. I think its because it outrades pikachu and gets going faster than charizard and mewtwo
Had no idea people thought Arcanine was trash, it must because of Starmie Ex? Because Starmie Ex isnt meta because of Pikachu Meta, Arcanine is insane. Arcanine really has one good counter in Starmie.
People said arcanine was trash as he self damaged with no upside, and had no proper regen cards like grass has. I think it was less arcanine doing well, and more moltres cheating energy doing well lol. As fire expands, gets more options and cards, the decks will become even better in tournament. The downside of its main attackers are the only hold up. Moltres lead with good coin flips can be deadly, whether you’re juicing an arcanine, centiskortch, or whatever.
I’ve never been hurt by red card but I have been helped by it tons of times. I love when my opponent plays red card. It’s like they’re playing a 21st card in my deck on their turn.
Im really enjoying Rapidash, Kenga Charizard Ex deck rn. It can put early pressure while giving energy to Charizard naturally, after that Charizard just can finish pokemon off with his 60 attack and one shot big things with his 200. Feels really good into Pikachu deck
No Exeggutor ex? Wow!! It's not amazing but it's an amazing counter to Pikachu and also to Marowak on top of that. It attacks faster, has 160 HP and has access to Erika+Potion.
@@neoikake what do you mean? you pull Exeggutor ex or a cheap grass poke while you wait for it. I'm testing it with Venomoth right now because of the low retreat cost, low energy cost and poison. Go second: it's cool Go first: devastating for the opponent
@@ScrumpssYT but it never deals 0 damage and of course it must have a big con with all those pros, look at Zapdos and Misty for example, same problem. Pikachu is consisten but Zapdos is not and Pika gets destroyed by Exeggutor
The thing with "Pikachu counters" is that the best counter to a T0 deck is another T0 deck. You can simply play Pikachu yourself and be good against everything in the Meta, or you play a lower tier deck that tries to prey on the best deck but gets beaten by most others.
I've been doing consistently well enough (as one can in a pretty luck based card game) running Dragonite x Greninja Its nice playing outside of the main meta when most people are either in it or trying to counter it, and not worrying about losing extra points with EX cards is a lot less pressure and more fun imo.
i made a deck with 2x Arbok's 2x Weezing's 1x Meowth and 1 Wigglytuff and i've had so much fun with this deck cuz ur pokemon become online so quick that ur opponents cant build their pokemon up
Its all luck if you know the game, if you, the Pikachu & Mewto decks have their best draws into a matchup both would win. Its easy math. (Except someone is making a dumb play)
in the end its that first hand draw. if you get blessed with your openers then its going to be an interesting time. but if you get trainers and support cards and your opponent has their base down, might as well concede.
I’ve been using a tentacruel, Greninja, and Starmie deck and it’s absolutely crazy. The poison stall, extra 20 from Greninja, and starmie to come in with 90 damage is so diverse for all deck (except electric of course)
Mewtwo is my jam and I think jinx/ Kangaskahn is cool but the problem I have is that I'm not trying to let my pokeball searches adhere to that much of a chance. You need Mewtwo and ralts asap to set up and I don't think the kanga and jinx are worth the inconsistency
I'm trying to do the 'win without your opponent scoring any points' on the Greninja and Articuno EX expert solo battle. Between Greninjas Ability and the Misty support card, even my Pikachu EX don't stand a chance. Any tips?
Pls Try: 2x Zaptos EX and than only Items/ Trainer. I had a 30 winning streak!! And in some situations you can use a fossil as a Shield. It’s so freaking OP
Good video, would be good that you hover over the card longer when explaining the setups and mindset of the deck. This is because not everyone might know the cards’ effects off the back of their hand. Good video, keep it up. Would love to see more of such content…maybe include some clips of gameplay in the back when explaining so that your video remains engaging.
i mean volkin is known to be a bit fast in speaking but u could just pause when he is hovering. And he did explain most cards the rest just google. If the videos takes +5min for hovering over cards which are played non stop it is equal annoying.
Blaine doesn't work with Arcanine. Read Blaine's card text again. In fact, maybe actually read cards before you make comments like this. When you assume... you know the rest LMAO.
Anyone else messing around with dragonote lol? Im trying to get the formula down correctly with either kangaskahn or snorlax atm but deck feels like it wont be good until we get better trainer cards... Also anyone trying to use meowth / persian? Ive been trying to mess around with a persian control but again, feels like the deck is lacking something
I wonder traded this morning and saw a trainer had cards in japanese, picked a Japanese salazzle but when i checked my cards it already translated. I was extremely excited for a sec haha
I'm working on developing a Dragonite/Vaporeon/Jolteon deck, but I'm still working out the kinks. Leaving this here as proof that I came up with it myself (I built a Mewtwo/Gardevoir deck my first day without realizing it had become the meta)
Same deck here mate! Try to pull for Aerodactyl, it's arguably the best wall if you haven't known instead of dealing damage and KO-ing, and here's why: imagine matching a ready charizard with 4 energy. Aerodactyl's ability "Primal wingbeat" will send the active pokemon back to the deck when successful after a counflip. You can imagine the insane drawback, after all the enemy's set up, their energy tempo crushes to bits while having to redo the entire stage 2 evo cycle all over again.
@@cyberskullvalor5558Pikachu one taps that card. People only run it in decks that have no chance against Stage 2 decks. Never give advice to anyone ever again 😭🙏
@ at the end of the day it really depends on who you're up against mate, although it is true... It's really depressing to see most top users spam pikachu and rarely anything else
@ besides, it's not ideal to use dragonite against pikachu EX deck anyway. It's built to punish long setups by blowing down the house of cards that the opponent is trying to setup ASAP. And with the Dragonite deck, you're looking to evolve to a STAGE 2 unit whilst gathering the required energy to do attack. You can easily be forced to spend necessary energy to defend against sudden sabrinas which is 99% unavoidable and will happen at your worst scenario (unless you are the honored one and are lucky)
@@cyberskullvalor5558 Well, if Dragonite is good against most decks besides Pikachu, why add something that has a bad matchup into Pikachu to make Dragonite perform worse? It's not a good wall. Weezing and Snorlax are lowk better
Single prize mewtwo can also one shot Starmie EX with Giovanni so if Pikachu Ex decks fall out of the meta then Starmie EX decks will inevitably replace them and single prize mewtwo can have some potential in that situation.
I've been saying this for a bit, if moltres EX gets a better fire ex to pair with it'll be the top deck no problem. Its a searchable Misty because of pokeball and the recent Arcanine Ex result is a showing of that, its a faster and more consistent version than Zard maybe not as high of dmg but its a great answer to both pikachu and mewtwo for an off meta deck.
Consider not moving your mouse cursor around so much, like you’re gesturing with your hands in real life. You could always be showing a card on screen relevant to what you’re saying and it would make it easier to follow along. For example, I didn’t know Aerodactyl be heart and you never showed it for more than a fraction of a second. That’s lots of extra content you could provide by having a card magnified at all times while you’re talking.
The “meta” always feels like the enemy of fun in these types of mobile TCG…and it must be infuriating for the Devs. People like to win and don’t want to experiment. So much of the ladder will by copypasta no matter how hard devs work😅

Starmie EX is so unfortunate as it's a great deck. But it is not in any tournament due to Pikachu EX
It's great imo, Misty needs some sort of change so water not being the meta means seeing less Misty. However, maybe it also means that Misty has a lower chance of being changed because it isn't top.
Pika is dominating just because Water is the stronger(thanks broken Misty), so it's funny to understand that the reason for the water absence is that water is too strong 😂. You "print" a broken card, it destrois the meta, like in this situation, because the meta morphs to counter that card.

Take a lot of the luck involved with getting an ex out and set up first
