If you really want some metal spice, try Melmetal + Greninja (don't run water energy). Can one shot everything in the Pika deck and Mewtwo with Gio, and only takes 2-3 turns to setup if you get what you need. Not meta relevant, but something fun.
@shift658 I'm aware. I've been playing the deck. Lol. You still need to pull Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja, Meltan, and Melmetal, and then you have to risk losing your Meltan if you use Amass. Everything can be done in 2 turns, but that assumes that you get everything you need and that your opponent doesn't take out your Meltan before you evolve it. So there's quite a bit that has to go your way. One hitting a Mewtwo feels great when it happens though.
You could do this same deck except swap out Bisharp for Golduck and Water energy, or Sandslash and Fighting energy, but my favorite is Jolteon and Lightning energy if you're a gambler, Jolteon can hit for up to 160 if you hit 4 heads, can wipe out EX cards for 2 energy. If you need the guaranteed 70 you can swap in Pidgeot, but if you're looking for a hail mary to knock out something with higher HP Jolteon can come through.
not a bad idea, but I would consider swapping to golduck/starmie ex, water energy, and replacing farfetchd with misty as a potential back up, weak to pika, but at the same time could also serve a random niche
Only benefit I see here is that turn two Pawniard into Bisharp does 100 damage off rip 120 if you happen to have two Geo which is actually good for aggro it's why Blaine Aggro is good. But Steel don't hit shit for weakness meanwhile Sandlash has more HP + better Pika match up and Golduck gets to pair with broken ass Starmie + Misty luck past the first turns. Still this looks fun regardless Bisharp is a cooler pokemon than the other two 😂
oh yeah pawniard is actually the good one here since 30 for one energy is awesome and it evolves to a 2 energy 70 damage stage one I think for my setup id replace the farfetch'd with one sabrina and one red card just for early board control
Played this deck 10 times, it feels so bad. Sandslash+marowak+ pigeot (my main deck) kinda does the same with sligjtly less damage but more hp. feels more versatile and also has better imunities vs pika and fire decks
Try centiskorch moltres pidgeot line (with 2 x speed, 2 research, 1 sabrina, 1 giovanni) trust me been clapping pikachu exs with it. Centiskorch 1 shots pikachu and cant be 1 shot by anything in their deck except raichu (which is being cut for the aggro build) or zapdos super high roll.
Melmetal + Butterfree carried me through my 45 wins for the event. Think I went on a 5 or 6 win streak due to concedes. If you go metal, go Melmetal; the rest of the steel types are just worse versions of other pokemon as others have stated.
bisharp is Just a metal golduck
I was gonna comment the same. I like my Golduck!
Exactly my first thoughts. Hopefully metal will receive some support on the miniset next month.
or a metal Sandshrew
@@blacksiopao exactly...and Sandscrew chews up some electric types!
Bisharps pre evo does 30 dmg is why it’s good

That's what I run along with pidgeot
That sounds like a fun build to try out!
It's fun, but stage 2 + stage 1 + 4 energy requirement makes it too much for anything other than fun.
@@itranscendencei7964meltan puts a metal energy on it when it attacks.
Meltmetals 4 energy cost is usable in 2 turns

I gotta try that Jolteon build!
I've been running this without the Farfetchd. It is really aggressive and gets fast wins. I've even won against Moltres/ Charizard a couple times.
I get that this is a budget deck but a better alternative if just starmie 0 retreat 90 damage 130 hp 2 energies stage 1
You know I gotta keep it budget for the content lol
feel like 3 complete lines of pidgey is not a budget deck lol
Might give this a try for super not-obvious reasons.... (Great video!)
I've been thinking about bisharp and you answered it, Thanks😁
Glad I could help!
Just build a fearow/Persian/pigeot deck. A normal flip coin deck that can put more pressure than an incomplete metal deck like this one.
5:45 alternatively you could just Gust + Giovanni here for the win lmao

I play with this deck and for me works great, thx buddy ❤
Just made pikachu ex concede with this deck. Out aggro and outmatch. Legit list. Good Job.
oh yeah pawniard is actually the good one here since 30 for one energy is awesome and it evolves to a 2 energy 70 damage stage one
I think for my setup id replace the farfetch'd with one sabrina and one red card just for early board control
6:56 Who else out here slapping their leak rn?
Thanks to this decklist, I won like 7 matches in a row because my opponents all they was doing was setting up 😅
I know the opponent conceded in the second match, but xspeed for the free retreat into the farfetch’d 40 damage wouldve also won it.
Other than _some_ weaknesses why not use primeape and promo mankey? They are much better at fast damage dealing
I feel like maybe a Starmie would be better 😅 Unless, of course, Bisharp is someone’s fav Pokemon
So bisharp is just worst sandslash?
Yes
shh
it's basic hits for 30 tho which is huge since most aggro decks have 100hp stage 1s
Played this deck 10 times, it feels so bad. Sandslash+marowak+ pigeot (my main deck) kinda does the same with sligjtly less damage but more hp. feels more versatile and also has better imunities vs pika and fire decks
i love the deck is super fun!
Me too, it's been a blast!
When your like “I gust them” I was internally screaming lol
lol
That second fight was depressing.
Personally, with how egro this deck is, I'd run Mawile over the Farfetch'd. The energy drain is so valuable.
You could just use sandslash and get 10 more health
Or starmie ex if you have it for 40 more health and 20 more damage for the same amt of energy.
Try out venemoth and veno. Heal and poison. It's fun 😂
what is the bgm in the background in games, it sounds too familiar
I wish they had the og blastoise in the game with their ability ( basically a water gardevoir)
Try centiskorch moltres pidgeot line (with 2 x speed, 2 research, 1 sabrina, 1 giovanni) trust me been clapping pikachu exs with it. Centiskorch 1 shots pikachu and cant be 1 shot by anything in their deck except raichu (which is being cut for the aggro build) or zapdos super high roll.
Bisharp get oneshot with ninetales, who's only 2 energy too
If you watch the era when ash gets the sir fitched you would have a higher respect for farfetched lol
Starts off the video with “ metal decks aren’t that good..” lol 😅
You should see how i ended the video lmao, at least im consistent
Melmetal + Butterfree carried me through my 45 wins for the event. Think I went on a 5 or 6 win streak due to concedes. If you go metal, go Melmetal; the rest of the steel types are just worse versions of other pokemon as others have stated.
Addressing the elephant in the room immediately
Mad respect
Play against pikachu deck and mewtwo deck ?? Just to see….
Have you tried Pidgeot arbok? Been alot fun.
Yes!!
I wish that i have at least 2 of each cards... Not rare so commond so i can make good decks!
They do Metal Dirty in this game
Metal weak to Fire
but since there's no Fairy, Metal can't deal extra damage at all
fck
Frosmoth exists
So it's just the same as sandslash, and goldduck
I feel like this deck gets destroyed when u go first
Took you a very long while to realise this.
How are you playing on pc?
mumu player
90 just gets cleaned by too much. pika and starmie kill at 90. u need at least 110 or 100 and a prayer they dont have gio
Better just use frosmoths.
I mean it’s actually mid if not bad
Mogwai built this already
?
