I'll try this Primeape set up i loathe the must damage self Primeape line its in zero of my fighting builds. I was using Hitmonchan since launch. You get stuck with it a ton, it also makes them lose their minds if you use it at the wrong time and become hyper aggressive
The new Exeguttor has always felt like dead weight outside of running into into gyarados or some kind of mirror match every time I've tried playing it. Either doesn't get energy fast enough to do anything or it's not threatening enough relevant pokemon.
@ no it's not. As soon as players run chatot to get golem online in 3 turns it wont be. The ai fight runs that exact celebi deck and ive tweaked a golem deck to most of the time get online and survive even a celebi/serperior on curve. Try it out for yourself, they tweaked these new ai fights to always start with consistent hands, the only variant ive seen is whether or not it has serperior in hand turn 1 or exeggutor. Golem is probably one of the best aggro decks because of brock and this shift to aggro is gonna make people reassess how to play golem.
Energy cost wise, new prime ape takes it, more setup for marshadow. I just like self damage primeape for more damage more pressure. If he dies marshadow finishes the job
I am playing a similar deck but with Potion and no Hitmonlee, and 2 copies of Giovanni and 1 Sabrina instead of the other way around. I also have a crazy WR with this.
I found Giovanni to be very important as Primeape can then deal 60 and defeat 60hp basic Pokémon (the most common hp for regular basics) on turn 3 if you go first, instantly putting you in advantage (even more if the opponent invested energy on that basic Pokémon).
@@hendyiwan9998 the core of the deck is the new Primeape and Marshadow, if you have 2 copies of each of them Aerodactyl EX is secondary. Play the same list but with 1 tech card (item) of your choice on its place. I don't like Hitmonlee despite being currently useful since it reduces the likelihood of starting with Mankey.
I think I did go over this, it is down to energy management. If you use the other Primeape then that's another 2 cost attack Pokemon. It would end up being too much to get going with Aerodac & Marshadow too
we need to talk, because the algorithm demands it!?!
Weird thing about aerodactyl and gyarados are they are good because of stats alone, they are not brought for their abilities
Thanks for this great and insightful recap! It’s very good to stay up-to-date with the game without much time investment.
Appreciate the meta snapshots Raven. Look forward to seeing more! Cheers

Ye this Ape looks sick!

It can one shot golem with gio.
@jprec5174 that matchup is already favorable without running the new Exeguttor

Lilligant and serpirior solve the energy issues.
@ liligant is too slow to be useful.
Why do you think the Pika deck at 15:10 has a Leaf?
Its acting as a 3rd X Speed

How do u participate in these tournaments?
Why are decks not using potion any more?

I've had that happened to me, it's devastating @@hrodric4441
@@hrodric4441 what if i dont have another aerodactyl ex ? please can you help me make an optional ?

@hrodric4441 I see thanks for the input .. I just got my 2nd Aerodactyl from wonder pick😅 .. so I'll try the deck u talk about before
Kinda jacked that I made primape aero deck several days ago... Juuuuuust saying 😂
time to whip out the good ol' mew2 deck again..
how to play on tournament
Can you suggest a tech card for someone missinf Sabrina?
I like Victrebell's ability; you pull a basic pokémon of your choice from the opponent's bench to his active spot.
If you play Blue, will that allow your Magikarp to survive a Hitmonlee next turn? Or does it only work on actives?
It will survive a kick, yes
Great breakdown! Thanks for posting!
My pleasure, I love checking out new lists!
I don't get it, why not use the event mankey and the 1st set evolution? They seem more consistent

@ravencasts that's fair and probably offers an advantage when we will get annihiape or the ex variant
New primeape can attack right away if you go first
It ruins your curve. You can run a marshadow with reckless mankey but only 1 copy max for sure.
Just pulled a Legendary Mythical Aerodactyl from M.I. pack while watching this. 😂😂😂😂
6, debatably 7 different top 8 decks, and people still bitchin about the meta,.
Fighting type tech
Noooooo! Primape + Aerodactyl + Marshadow has been my favorite deck. If it comes into the Meta im going to hate it 😭
Too late 😂 Worse when someone wins tournaments with your exact primeape list before you can compete with due to having a job
the time has come buddy .. let them cook
but in the final, it's mew2 and pika again :))
I like your name!
Vamos Argentina carajo nomaaa!
