My guess is that in that last match, they top-deck'd that Aerodactyl and put in the Machop as a saftey measure since it would have been able to take a hit with no energy on it. It was a smart move on their end, probably not "trolling" lol.
I agree, that is what I think is the case. However, it wouldn't have been able to survive a hit even if it were to evolve cuz it had energy one energy on it and that's why Godzly thought he was trolling
the problem with beheeyem is that it does not survive a hit pikachu EX, while having a move that is meant to punish that style. If it did have say 100hp maybe it wouldve had better consistency
It’s fine as is, it’s a card that’s like Primeape with slightly fluctuating damage. Even with “only” 50 damage average it’s insane in an aggressive deck. The single cost pressure is huge.
I've mained alakazam + beheeyem since mythical island came out. it's not perfect, but it can actually beat pika ex or blaine decks fairly consistently. It does require that they dont start with a perfect hand, but that's the kind of gamble you just have to take. Ala + beheeyem also works well because you have a turn 1 sweeper, but also have the option to build on the bench.
I actually have been liking Alakazam with BOTH Sigilyph and Beheyem. I run 2 xspeeds and I've been trying to figure out if I like running the full six basics or only 1 Sigilyph or 1 Beheyem. It really lets you choose to play aggressively into something like Pika or Celebi, or play passive and build up two Alakazams into Gyrados or Moltres decks
I have a combined build like this having both Elgyem and Sigilyph. Some major flaws of this deck was 1. That struggle on Mewtwo deck was real. 2. Often times they limit their bench once they knew your Elgyem at the beginning to minimized that early stomper. It mostly shines when there are bunch of Golem deck weeks ago.
After all the times i've bricked, I can see the appeal in sigilyph (or mythical slab.) But this is a mid speed deck. It can take time to build up, with beheeyem in the active, dealing great damage. I tried to slab and it didnt help. Or it can early sweep with beheeyem if the build their bench. I threw in Mew EX and it helped immensely. Tried with the budding expeditioner and it never helped. But mew ex helped with celeby, char ex, and mew ex. If they're limiting their bench, they loading up energy, which ala and mew both deal with.
I use a Mew for this exact same reason, Alakazam doesnt 1hitko a Mewtwo EX or Charizard EX with 2 energies (after he attacked with Psydrive or Crimson Storm) I removed pokeflute since is a dead card at the beginning of the game and you dont really need Beheeyems damage in late game since you are relying on Alakazam (and Mew EX in my case) to close games
Alakazam and Machomei EX Rainbow Fullart got to be the most satisfying arts in the entire game, been playing these 2 decks soo much cuz the art is that good
I could run an electric deck that’s a cross between Lt.Surge featuring Zapdos & Pika ex, but yeah Alakazam punishes everything. It’s way more fun. You’ve taught me the key to winning more is making the deck more consistent so I need to work on that. I have gengar & hypno in my psy deck. Wasn’t sure what to run otherwise that would help more. Beheyem/Maybe Mr.Mime/ I’ll try out sigilyph & see what works better.
Need to pull another beheeyem so I can run this haha. Like the deck bro. Side note that’s the first time I’ve seen your cat awake haha liking the content 🍿👍
I also have a decklist Idea: Pokemon: - 2× Druddigon - 2× Flabébé - 2× Floette - 2× Florges - 2× Mew EX Item: - 2× Pokeball - 1× Potion - 2× Mythical Slab - 1× X-Speed Trainer: - 2× Prof. Research - 2× Blue ( thought about an Adventurer-Newbie, but i went for X-Speed. Do you tgink that this is a good deck or could we make a change? ( want to make a Florges Duddrigon deck, thought about playing Hypno instead of Mew, then I would do: -2× Mew EX, -1× Blue, -1× Potion, -1× X-Speed, +1× Leaf ,+2× Hypno and +2× Drowzee, which deck would you prefer, the sleeping heal or the defensive heal deck? ) )
I've been running two Alakazam and two Hypno. To have two chances per turn to put my opponent to sleep is very strong. They can't attack or retreat half of the game and I get my Alakazams set up uninterrupted most of the time.
I found Gio didn't help. Only run 1 Sabrina (you typically don't want them to switch, because their active usually has the most energy.) I also added a Mew Ex. It ultimately does similar damage as Ala, but it's a basic that also has high HP and low retreat cost (can be used as a wall.)
Heck yea, another Zam deck!!💪🏽😎People complaining this game is repetitive. I disagree! Use your imagination, create some wacky decks, and most importantly: HAVE FUN!!
I've been running a similar deck plus mew ex since mythical island came out. It's been fairly consistent. Mew technically does the same thing as Alakazam (damage wise) but I feel like it makes it more consistent. Very proud that I've been playing my own deck and had good results, even against meta decks that people didn't even create themselves (and paid to get.) *edit* after testing, I didn't find mythical slab or gio to be very beneficial.
@@Syn-eo7yv how? I mean even if you don't draw a psychic mon, it still brings the next psychic mon in your deck closer by one turn, which is huge. The only times it was bad for me is when it pushed oak or pokeball to the bottom of the deck which is something you don't want, but then again that happens rarely.
@@tastylynx idk what to tell you. It just never worked and it took up spots for more useful utility cards. Slab is a double edged sword. It works better if you have more psychic pokemon, but the more pokemon you have, the less utility you have. I think because you cant speed up energy gain, it doesn't feel useful IMO.
@@Syn-eo7yv I don't think it's a double edged sword and it should be good even if you have like 8 psychic mons. There's a reason why basically every meta psychic deck is using it, you do you though.
Mew is kinda necessary for the Mewtwo matchup. Alakazam alone has a very hard time dealing with him and if you face a somewhat competent player who can pivot around your Beheyem/Weezing/Exeggutor, you are never winning that game.
Beheeyam is cracked in every psychic energy deck btw. Beheeyam x Gardevoir x Mewtwo = cracked. Beheeyam x Gengar or Alakazam or Florges x Mew ex = cracked. Beheeyam x Mew ex with Beheeyam as the main aggro threat = cracked.
I've been playing Ala + beheeyem and slab never helped. I don't think pory or sigilyph would help either. IMO there currently isn't a good way to speed up the deck. It's very much "do the best with what you get" and I appreciate the gameplay. It's very much a mid speed deck. Isn't fast like blaines, celeby or pika ex, but isn't slow like charizard. But it CAN move as fast as pika ex on a perfect draw but can also take care of something like Char EX if the odds just don't screw you over. It's a very well balanced deck that isn't perfect
I was playing this deck all day yesterday, Alakazam has to be one of the most underrated. I take out gyrados, celibi, mewtwo decks all the time with this deck. Alakazam is so underrated. Only thing is it does get super hard countered by weezing decks
My 1st match i can't get abra only get 2 Elgyem and I lose. 2nd match i get 2 Abra didn't get Elgyem and i was 1st to act. I evolved my bench Abra to kadabra with only 1 energy. The opponent sabrina and attack 50 with mewtwo. I just don't have any luck with this deck.
An alternate version of Abra (wouldn't make sense, because it only learns teleport) or Kadabra (some damage that didn't take 3 energy would be nice, even if it took 1 more energy to retreat) would be nice. Alazakam is a crazy strong normal pokemon and even though it's very viable right now, it would be amazing to see it get more play.
Decklist at 1:05 ❤
You are the goat! 💯🫡😂 I appreciate the time and effort you put into your content.
I think Alakazam full art might be my favorite full art, Cool deck godly
Agreed, it looks amazing!
Agreed, but don't forget Machamp Full Art tho its so good too
@@TaigaYuukiCh. I was thinking that was my second choice while writing this lmao
@@frict10nthats because they are both by the same artist, Akira Egawa
It does not even look like Alakazam, for me it is the worst

Play blue
Blue over flute every day
I really hope pokemon adds a kadabra with a one or two energy move. Now kadabra is usually a sitting duck until you hit Alakazam
That full art and the machamp are the best looking cards in the game
I burst out laughing when you said, “ he gave me a hope then, ripe it away” 😂😂😂

Dropped a like for the Car 🐈 and Latios in the background 😆
I’ve been lurking on your streams and been digging this vibes. Very much inspired me to build more fun decks.
tyty for the content 🫰🏻
I went with the sigilyph and alakazam build and went on a serious win streak. Super consistent and big damage late with Alakazam
I keep a Beheyem and a Jinx for early damage. They both work well with Alakazam.
Alakazam getting a lotta love, love these decks ❤
Alakazam is a great card!
I also have a decklist Idea:
Pokemon:
- 2× Druddigon
- 2× Flabébé
- 2× Floette
- 2× Florges
- 2× Mew EX
Item:
- 2× Pokeball
- 1× Potion

Ive been watching your uploads to sleep keep up the good work
About you being part german: I knew it. You remind so much of Manuel Gardner Fernandes the vocalist of Unprocessed, who is german.
Ngl, I was distracted by that sweet Latinos plush 😂 I need one!
I run a similar deck to this except with one Mew EX for a bit of pressure/walling. Also a decent alternate win condition.
I've been running that since mythical island came out. I've had to change and adjust my cards, but now I'm really happy with my deck.
Would you say this is better or worse than the Sigilyph/Alakazam deck?
keep up the consistent posts bro❤
can you build a deck around magneton raichu lt surge
I've been using this Alakazam/Beeheyem for one week now with some minor changes on the support/trainer cards.
I found Gio didn't help. Only run 1 Sabrina (you typically don't want them to switch, because their active usually has the most energy.) I also added a Mew Ex. It ultimately does similar damage as Ala, but it's a basic that also has high HP and low retreat cost (can be used as a wall.)
Holy W Burrow jersey!!
I run it with druddigon and 2 mew ex wirh budding explorer card, it works really well too :)
More basic mons is much better than this list
I also use this deck the only difference is I also have one sigylyph in it (love seeing the alakazam one shots)

Mythical slab is excellent tho and a must in a psychic deck especially one that has a stage 2. It's almost always useful as it provides consistency.
@@tastylynx I tried using slab in a lot of games and it was literally never useful, at least with the deck I had.

When and where do you stream
On this channel around 6pm cst every day!
@ sweet thanks
2:39 say that again?
I use pidgeot alakazam deck. Did 490 damage to a celebi for the win.
This seems sm better than the alakazam mew or the alakazam weezing
Mew is kinda necessary for the Mewtwo matchup. Alakazam alone has a very hard time dealing with him and if you face a somewhat competent player who can pivot around your Beheyem/Weezing/Exeggutor, you are never winning that game.

Bro used the same pic in both thumbnails 💀
You should add Porygon to combo with mythical slab
I've been playing Ala + beheeyem and slab never helped. I don't think pory or sigilyph would help either. IMO there currently isn't a good way to speed up the deck. It's very much "do the best with what you get" and I appreciate the gameplay. It's very much a mid speed deck. Isn't fast like blaines, celeby or pika ex, but isn't slow like charizard. But it CAN move as fast as pika ex on a perfect draw but can also take care of something like Char EX if the odds just don't screw you over. It's a very well balanced deck that isn't perfect
You really need a Mew EX for the Mewtwo matchup. You are never gonna catch a Mewtwo with 4 energies to oneshot with your Alakazam
I opened 20 packs of mewtwo in a row and still didn’t get Giovanni
Finally I use when Mewtwo is mata I say in every comment section 🤣🤣
6:58 My experience with Celebi 😭
Assuming the last guy top decked the Aero
Your kitty cat was Soo cute.
I was playing this deck all day yesterday, Alakazam has to be one of the most underrated. I take out gyrados, celibi, mewtwo decks all the time with this deck. Alakazam is so underrated.
Only thing is it does get super hard countered by weezing decks
My 1st match i can't get abra only get 2 Elgyem and I lose. 2nd match i get 2 Abra didn't get Elgyem and i was 1st to act. I evolved my bench Abra to kadabra with only 1 energy. The opponent sabrina and attack 50 with mewtwo. I just don't have any luck with this deck.
Why double slab?
srry you've been sick :(
Wish I could get an Alakazam
Interesting.... ❤
wait this hard counters all the meta decks wtf
Alakazam isn't that good against mewtwo because it usually only has 2 energy.
i swear the clickbaits are out of hand on all TCG videos
Bengals👍
Who dey 🧡
kadabra sux! we need a better version of kadabra
An alternate version of Abra (wouldn't make sense, because it only learns teleport) or Kadabra (some damage that didn't take 3 energy would be nice, even if it took 1 more energy to retreat) would be nice. Alazakam is a crazy strong normal pokemon and even though it's very viable right now, it would be amazing to see it get more play.
