I play this deck, but with a few tweaks to train cards: 1 leaf, no sabrina, no potion 1 buddy expeditioner 2 xspeed The reason is that i made this tweaks (have been playing thus deck a bit the last couple of weeks) is because you often need to send in melmetal with a Giovanni or Blu, so you can't rely only on leaf for retreat, plus when retriting meltan or mew it is a waiste. Buddy also often comes in clutch when you start with mew a need it to tank to reset the Hp, IMHO if you play 2 mew in a deck you almost always want 1 buddy.
The worst matchup is actually Pikachu just because they start attacking so fast. You would think that'd make Blaine a bigger issue, but Blaine only hitting for 40-90 without a lucky Blaine takes fire too long to do anything
Pikachu needs some effort to break through Druddigon, and if they don't do this fast enough, they just get out-traded by Melmetal who oneshots the Pikas. The worst matchup is actually Moltres -Arcanine since neither Melmetal nor Mew EX trades favourably into Arcanine, especially if Canine starts using Giovanni
Finally people recognizing melmetal 😭 I just finished 9 and 1 session this evening. This deck is disgusting. Been using since druddigon got added. Nice vid bruh. I replace blue with one budding expeditioner and one x speed for when the starting hand gods decode to fuck me over and place mew and supporters 😭
I wouldn't call it bad, but it's poorly positioned in the meta right now. I do wish that Moltres read something like "attach 1 fire energy to a fire Pokemon. Flip a coin, if heads, attach an additional energy."
It’s good for what it does. All it’s really meant for is ramp and it ramps potentially your whole bench, stealing you multiple turns, for 1 fire energy. Even getting 1 energy is an advantage as far as resources goes. It’s not a strong attacker and relies on RNG but within the decks it’s clearly designed to play with, it’s useful,if not a must run.
Is it really bad? I don't think so, you flip 3 coins and so you have 8 possible results. 3/8 of the time you get 2 Energy 3/8 it's 1 Energy 1/8 it's 3 Energy And last 1/8 is 0 Energy So you have 75% chance to get 1/2 energy, or 87,5% if you include highroll too, that's 1/2/3 Energy for free You only have 12,5% chance to get 0 Energy.. However, thanks to Leaf now, and XSpeed, it FEELS like Moltres generate even more energy, those cards cheating out energy when you retreat are so good. If something, I feel like Moltres will be a card that will have a long lifespan, before powercreep hits it, but for now it's a stable in fire decks
I understand how it works and I know that right now it's a must for fire deck but none of you talked about the fact that it is a Ex card that make you vulnerable on active position and end your turn trying to generate energy for a deck that burns alot of energy. Well, we don't have any relevant fire deck right now.
@@irwingbrasil EX doesn't matter, burning energy doesn't matter. What matters is that it's weak to lightning, and Gyarados usually gets online faster. It's poorly positioned against 2 of the 3 best decks in the format. That's why it's not doing well. Edit: And Mew EX made the Mewtwo matchup much worse for Charizard. So actually 3 of the 3 best decks.

The best things about your videos are the nostalgic Pokemon osts
This was such a fun video ❤️
I played a match against this deck last week. It comes out of nowhere and surprises you.
How i won the fighter counters deck?

Yeah, you tryna call out Melmetal like that made me wanna put money on it lmao
Same
interesting deck! not really understanding what golurk does for it but good attempt!
Anyone know the music used at 8:05?
It's in the bottom right corner
Wow, can’t believe I didn’t notice the media player. Thank you.
@@u4dove717 no worries
Moltres ex is a bad card, red needs a better way to produce energy, need to be more reliable or less risky.

3/8 of the time you get 2 Energy
3/8 it's 1 Energy
1/8 it's 3 Energy
And last 1/8 is 0 Energy
So you have 75% chance to get 1/2 energy, or 87,5% if you include highroll too, that's 1/2/3 Energy for free
You only have 12,5% chance to get 0 Energy..
