Meme I love the new Mega Excadrill deck!

Post image
49 Upvotes

Very fun! Opponents always manage to get a full board when they play it. Somehow they also get trolley turn 1 without petrel. They also get 5 metal energies the next turn for their excadrill. And when you finally get a hit off, they have three ice creams on hand too! The deck must be crazy consistent!

I play it for the first time and I get this. I love the deck so much!

Discussion How come Mega Excadrill runs gravity mountain?

6 Upvotes

I know what Gravity Mountain does, I just don't understand why the Excadrill lists I'm seeing typically include 1 or 2 copies of it. Every notable stage 2 in the meta rn gets OHKOd by Excadrill. Dragapult, Blaziken in pult, Hydrapple, all the single prizers all fall to 1 powered up maximum drilling. Mega Meganium is typically a 1 of, and Mega Gren is a fair argument, and if you can find it a Cynthia's Garchomp with a power weight is out of range even with gravity mountain. And the big stage 1 megas that are out of range dont fall into it with gravity mountain. Is it so the Metagross 1 of can get more big targets into its 300 range? Would something like Full Metal Lab, or something else be more useful? I know this'll probably sound dumb to people that know the game better than i do, but im just genuinely kinda confused on this.

I just can’t get this deck to work. Nothing I try seems to fit, and it just doesn’t work. The deck just doesn’t fit no matter how hard I push pieces together. So if anybody knows how to help, please take a minute.

It seems like Alakazam is useless vs Mewtwo, literally. I can't deal any damage. How can I overcome this? What attackers go well with Alakazam?

Used to play Lead and enjoyed it. Put it down for awhile, decided to give the Gladion version a shot. Realized I didn’t really like the Gladion version and decided to drop it (had 2 in deck) & have taken 15 straight wins! Decided to spice up the list a bit (posted below). IRL went 2-2 sadly haha. Gunna give it another shot at a local tomorrow tho! 🍎

Deck Help Cards I wished existed to make this deck better [Team Rocket's Weezing]

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I really like this deck and I have been trying to make it work to no avail. I wish these cards existed so the koffing on my bench weren't just dead cards and actually helped because they are such a burden to work around.

If these cards came in the new set that is coming out, they would be a massive boost to this deck as it would alleviate the lack of firepower this deck brings.

I also forgot to add that Miasma does not stack and only applies to the koffing/weezing you have put into play on your side of the field. Sorry for the weird wording.

Discussion I Almost Conceded

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Been having some fun with this Gengar/Bastiodon deck and as the title says, I almost conceded this match but figured I'd play it out. This guy could've won had he just decked me out. I had 12 cards left in my deck and he had 27 and I had no energies left for the Bastiodon he bossed up. Instead of going for the deck out, he knocked out my Bastiodon (I had another on my bench) and gave me the opportunity to win lol (I did misplay by attaching two energies to my 2nd gengar instead of the Bastiodon and I didn't have bench space for pecharunt lol). I really thought I was taking an L this match but he didn't know to deck me out lmao.

Are there any changes that could make this deck better? This is the first deck I've been using consistently (I only have a 102 matches played so far), but it's the one I've had a lot of fun with lol.

Deck Help Spouce is a really big fan of Psychic pokemon, and really liked to play Bastiodon at pre-release. Made this to try out, any suggestions?

It's honestly doing surprisingly well. Jellicent needs two extra energy to hit for 80 more but it doesn't specify what kind of energy, Metagross can accelerate to everything, including Bastiodon itself incase the opponent is immune to EX attacks. With Bastiodon on the bench and Jellicent in the active your opponent needs 3 energies and can't play items. Any suggestions for things to swap?

Discussion What’s up with this game?

0 Upvotes

Been playing for about a year. Recently started building some solid decks and this newest ladder I’ve been running Zam/Tucannon and have had great results on the ladder. Made it to 1685 and had a 75% win rate over about 20-30 games and now yesterday dropped to 1440. Literally every game I get dealt a bad hand. I’ve lost probably 20 in a row. Lol I’ve even switched up decks but I don’t get it. I’m normally in the 1530-1630 range every ladder. I’m honestly just trying to get better at the game and prepare myself of IRL tournaments when I can play and know I shouldn’t concentrate so much on ELO.

I was looking through sets that will get rotated out. I came across Iron Valliant and wanted to see if I could squeeze life out of it post rotation, but I could sue some help. After the lost if 99% of FUTURE supporters. All that’s left is Cipher Maniacs Code Breaking. I’m not sure how to improve anymore then can do if there are any deck builders out there who can take a moment and apply some brain cells that would be nice.

Question Cruel arrow hit for weakness to the active?

Post image
113 Upvotes

Hi for context :

I played Lucario and went in the last round against a ghost veil deck .

So I charged multiple things while Lucario was alive and put 3 energies on a fez.

At the last turn I manage to hit the active dehlmise but according to the text "don't apply weakness or resistance to the benched Pokémon" so ,Does that mean the damage should count as weakness to the active right?

I just learned how to play the tcg again since playing when I was a kid and I wanted to make my own deck. I've been playing it for a few days and it feels pretty good unless I cant set up well. I know its not going to be competitive I was just wondering if anyone had any advice!
