Funny how Alakazam does with an attack nearly what Dusknoir did way back in Boundaries Crossed with an ability. Soooo many cards from that era would feel so OP if they got printed nowadays. I mean, they were OP back than too
This deck needs a Vanilluxe from Paradox Rift. Its ability prevents Pokemon with less than 40 HP remaining from attacking. And it’s doesn’t need to be active for it to work. It’s like a panic mask but on steroids. Dragapult gets completely neutralized.
Raticate and the Hisuian Braviary that spreads damage would synergize well. There will soon be a dusknoir line that can give up a prize to spread some damage, activating reversal energy in your turn..
Cool!!! I liked this card a lot when I saw it and also had to make a deck. I like alakazam and have been playing damage swap decks for a long time. I tried it with Tsareena ex, and with froslass / Raichu / munkidori / emolga, but you made it work even better! Are there other partners that would work even better with this deck?
Love it, love it, love it❤ have to build that 😂 i have seen a version with tsareena ex but this build has convinced me to finally get my alakazams into action!
I recommend to switch the abra with the 151 one because if the opponent plays two froslass, you could get into serious trouble to get that alakazam up.
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's quite warm where I'm at right now. I have to turn off the fans and stuff while I record so it's quiet. But in turn I get really hot, probably apparent in my voice when my mouth dries up. Thanks for the sub and the reminder. I really appreciate it.
I’ve been trying this out but I’ve gotten blocked by Zard a lot so I dropped one iono for tm devo to just be able to put just enough damage on their bench and tm devo the amount of zards that just scoop as soon as they see the devo get placed priceless
Why don't you just use the evolution of rufflet? It's a stage one. Its attack is free and it just puts 30 damage on all Pokemon with damage counters on it
I think the process is the same, because you can still prevent attacks from damaging you. And Alakazam or Pidgeot ex can also attack if you need them to. Maybe take out their draw engine as soon as possible to cripple their setup.
Does anyone know if Vitality band or Defiance Band are attached to Raticate when you attack with Super fang does the extra damage hit on top of cutting them down to 10HP and instant KO?
No it will not do extra damage, because the tool cards you mentioned increases only "attack damage". Alolan Raticate's attack does not deal "attack damage," rather it is considered an "effect of an attack," specifically reducing your opponent's pokemon's HP down to 10.
@@PopsicleKnight Thank you for the reply! I am a newer player so this is very helpful information. Am I right in also assuming since it is an "effect of an attack" that when using it against a psychic Pokémon its doesn't do the X2 Damage? Love your channel BTW! I have had so much fun play testing some of the decks you showcase IRL and on ptcg Live with my 10 year old. Thanks for the awesome videos.
bro first game, 1 damage to pidgeot, 1 damage to charizard ex and 7 to the charmander on the bench, how tf do you play this and not see that easy ass 5 prizes.
Ribombee is interesting but it's effect requires one extra turn. And if your opponent's pokemon retreats, the effect of Ribombee's attack gies away. It's extremely difficult to pull off. It's possible but highly improbable.
you should add a flying entry hawlucha from scarlet and violet base set. Its flying entry ability does 10 damage to 2 of ur opponents pokemon when u bench it. Combine it with raticate and thats ko
*Evil Laugh*
Beat me to it.

16:54 best evil villain laugh.

Yeah, I'm noticing that they're bringing back old design concepts into new cards. It's pretty cool, I think.
Imagine they reprint Battle compressor 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting concept 🤔
interesting, but then skwovet or 1 Bib would have to go
Aw man. I was enjoying this being a secret. Absolutely love all the different ways you can build Alolan Rat decks
It's too awesome to keep secret 😅
Thank you I have been waiting for some content on this new Alakazam! This is awesome
Thank you!
lov the villain laugh 😂
That s the Best part xD
that first game's navigation is honestly impressive , i really enjoyed how you played your hand first few turns , keep iut up :)
Thank you!
Raticate and the Hisuian Braviary that spreads damage would synergize well. There will soon be a dusknoir line that can give up a prize to spread some damage, activating reversal energy in your turn..
That Dusknoir and Dusklops will be on a lot of decks.
i was breaking my head on using raticate and Alakazam.
this solved my problem, raticate is one of my favorite cards,i use him in alot of my decks.
Alolan Raticate is awesome!
I absolutely love this deck list! As normal, you never fail to deliver another great video
Thank you!
Still crazy to see what kinda combos can be done with cards that may otherwise be dismissed as pack filler.
True
Board wipes have never been easier
This is brutal 😮 and i'm here for it 😂😂

Yes exactly I was thinking the same thing with tsareena froslass munkidori or something like that
Very nice! I think Tsareena ex is also a really great pair with this. I may have to try it out too.
Love it, love it, love it❤ have to build that 😂 i have seen a version with tsareena ex but this build has convinced me to finally get my alakazams into action!
I hope it works out 😃
Makes me miss my old raticate break/ariados/blizzard town deck
Best EVER!! love yaa
Thank you !!!

That's true.
Alolan raticate one of my favourite cards .... Thanks
Alolan Raticate is tight! 😃
because of youre a cool guy, ill subscribe to you and stay hydrated buddy

Amazing video!
Thank you!
Awesome Man!
Thanks.
Froslass could be a pretty cool combo with alakazam
Interesting idea... 🤔
This would be good in gardevoir ex. Spread damage with munkidori over a few turns and fuse it all together by bringing Alakazam in
I’ve been trying this out but I’ve gotten blocked by Zard a lot so I dropped one iono for tm devo to just be able to put just enough damage on their bench and tm devo the amount of zards that just scoop as soon as they see the devo get placed priceless
Radiant Jirachi would be a great sacrifice Pokémon for this deck. You can also use 151 Mr. Mime to spread damage at the end.
Just took all 6 prizes muahahaha
26:24 You activate Exodia:)
Nice 😎
So good!
Thanks.
Why don't you just use the evolution of rufflet? It's a stage one. Its attack is free and it just puts 30 damage on all Pokemon with damage counters on it
Hisuian Braviary is good too
@@PopsicleKnight leaves room for more tech
Could u make a deck with the new pinsir that knockout the defending pokemon
I'll definitely look into it 😃
This deck is good
Thanks 😃
@@PopsicleKnight I have created this deck and can't wait to use it. It is a breath of fresh air from the meta decks which everyone uses.
The Definition of Rat 🐀 16:46 26:19
i played against this deck yesterday and absolutely destroyed it with blissey ex because munkidori.
Blissey ex can actually be a problem 😅
amazing hahaha
😃
笑聲超級好笑 哈哈哈
how does frosslass work in this deck? Feels like when raticate uses super fang and pass turn its a one hit ko :)
Froslass is interesting 🤔
ideally you’d rather be the first player or the second for this deck?
I like going first.
Divertido pero muy pocos pokemones y muchas veces quedas sin Pokemon en banca y KO en el 2
Lol wow what a deck....how's the consistency
It's pretty good actually.
Why Raticate and not Scolipede?
Scolipede is stage 2 and it's harder to evolve or set up. But it is possible.
couldn't gapejaw bog work in this
It can.
Have you played against any deck with Greninja ex and Froslass?
Yes, I have.
kontoru
Imagine it happen soon to you
How does this fare against single-prize decks?
I think the process is the same, because you can still prevent attacks from damaging you. And Alakazam or Pidgeot ex can also attack if you need them to. Maybe take out their draw engine as soon as possible to cripple their setup.

This deck could make someone quit pkm tcg altogether 😂😂😂
why alakazam did 310 damage to torkoal it only had 3 energy that was 160 dmg i thought🤔
I think its both active pokemon’s energy
The Charizard on the bench doubles fire energy so technically it was 6 energy
😂😂😂😂😂
😅
Mwahahhahah
😅
Such a scam. Why the need to boss order Raticate eventually you can READ the Alakazam card 15:47 and just knock out that Pokémon.... BS
ummm because the Kazam had panic mask on it so the Zard couldn't attack it......
bro first game, 1 damage to pidgeot, 1 damage to charizard ex and 7 to the charmander on the bench, how tf do you play this and not see that easy ass 5 prizes.
hey what the name of the back sound
You can also use Ribombee and Iron Hands to get 6 prizes at a time
Ribombee is interesting but it's effect requires one extra turn. And if your opponent's pokemon retreats, the effect of Ribombee's attack gies away. It's extremely difficult to pull off. It's possible but highly improbable.
I am a fan of Taiwan
hello！I like your laughter
😂
Thank you for the support!
Cutie fly sleeves though 🔥😮💨
you should add a flying entry hawlucha from scarlet and violet base set. Its flying entry ability does 10 damage to 2 of ur opponents pokemon when u bench it. Combine it with raticate and thats ko
Hawlucha is a good option 🤔
I love you.
Aw, thanks! 😊
