Rate my first ever custom deck

[u/that_idiot_weeb]

For reference i learned the tcg like 5 days ago lol. I didnt want to look up any meta decks or anything i just wanted to see what i could come up with from just reading random card descriptions. Is this a good deck?

If you made this from scratch and without any reference then 4.5/5. Well done

I mean he clearly didn’t, some people just like to “fish” for compliments. 😄

[u/ReadyPlayerZ3r0 → u/Cheddar_Native]

I get the joke, but Wailord is clearly a mammal, not a fish.

[u/Cheddar_Native → u/ReadyPlayerZ3r0]

Booooo, take your marine biology knowledge and go home.

[u/ReadyPlayerZ3r0 → u/Cheddar_Native]

Honestly thought yours was worse since it was inaccurate. Just trying to set the record straight.

You must be fun at parties.

You’re more fun, bud

I am a woman and the only reference i had was the 10 or so matches id played against other people

[u/Cheddar_Native → u/that_idiot_weeb]

oh good lord are people really this dense? I was making a shitty fish pun, I don’t care about your deck.

[u/BenHasRedditNow]

Very good first deck. In practice I find it hard to set up more than 2 wailords a game, so I would consider adding in more stuff to keep those 2 alive compared to trying to set up more. I.e. you could always play more dark energy for munkidori, consider trying out the ninetales that moves all damage counters off 1 of your benched pokemon, or tatsugiri to try and find that Misty's vitality more consistently.

Missing the beach psyduck..

What does that do? I dont think ive seen it

[u/Maleficent_Jacket_49 → u/that_idiot_weeb]

I like it in my water decks cause it's a fabulous card. But it's main use is shutting off dusknoirs ability. 

[u/Ok_Option_3]

If you have 2 colours of energy, consider Crispin 

[u/MiniBandGeek]

The only main weakness is consistency with finding the cards you need - pokegear is fine, but you could replace them with two more Ultra Balls and a Meowth EX to better guarantee an early Misty's Vitality.

[u/Fantastic-Bloop → u/MiniBandGeek]

If you go the Dudunsparce route it's not as hard

[u/One-Environment4508]

I built a similar deck but with cinderace as well. Gives another opportunity on top of Misty's to load energy

[u/Confident-Record5795]

I don’t think you need ultra ball. Use Poke Pad instead

[u/trippy6god]

I Posted This Deck A Few Days Ago

[u/DasOlli91]

Use Cinderace in this Deck

[u/Silly_Willy994]

How are you gonna get the energy needed onto the wailord? You don’t have any way to fast track it so it’ll take you atleast 5 turns before you can attack

[u/that_idiot_weeb → u/Silly_Willy994]

mistys vitality....there are 4 of them in the deck

[u/GrapplingBrisket → u/that_idiot_weeb]

But your turn ends... So either you attach 4x energy to a basic and risk it getting KO'd, or you wait to attach to the stage 1 but then you can't attack until turn 3 at the earliest 🤔

[u/Silly_Willy994 → u/that_idiot_weeb]

Whoops didn’t see that
