@@Mr-Eleven my list is probably the most streamlined and beginner friendly version out there. I definitely think it's great for beginners!

@@JeeYaoKuneDo thank you! I personally have more fun playing Terapagos, but I think Lugia is a bit stronger in the current meta. Terapagos is still really good though

@@nepuu7357 terapagos is a crazy fun first deck. The combos it can pull off are crazy!

@@XanXinGames I filmed the games before I decided a final list. Through testing I decided Dusclops wasn't needed

@@halo007Mex this deck is so fun once you get the hang of it!!

I feel like I was in a winning position either way. As long as I sacked the Research off Iono there was probably a win con for me lol

That's awesome, congrats on your finish. The Zard matchup is definitely tough. I need to play some more games with Palkia, but if I can find time maybe I'll make a video!

Noctowl can still use its ability. So you really just need to pull off 2-3 dusknoirs and attack with Terapagos to win. My newest list has colress and vitality band in it which really helps. I cut 1 duskull, 1 dusknoir, and mew for Colress, vitality, and hoot hoot

@@CiaranTCG super helpful - thank you!!

Ideally you go first and are able to dusknoir plus prime to wipe them of dreepy. I think if you chase down their duskulls you should have an opportunity for a big Briar turn since they have to bench rotom, fez, and lumineon

@@CiaranTCG thanks dude! gonna try next time

If you can't beat em, join em 🤷🏼‍♂️. I've added colress to my most recent list. I cut a Mew, Dusknoir, and Duskull for Colress, Hoot Hoot, and vitality band

It is honestly so much harder to play on stream, especially if it's your first time lol

After playing more I've added Boss in for a CC. Vitality band feels bad, but it swings mirror fairly heavily. It seems like Terapagos is going to pick up in popularity after this weekend.

I've been messing around with colress and it feels pretty decent. I think 1 research is fine since you can search it when it is needed

I've added it for some of my testing and have found it pretty mediocre. I think I would prefer Energy Lotto

I was literally thinking that when Pult won haha. I played some games with the list and it's pretty good, I still don't think it is a crazy strong deck though

Glad you're enjoying it. The deck is honestly so fun, not like any other deck in the format for sure!

Very few decks play Hero's cape, and if they do you normally try and just KO their other Pokemon. It definitely isn't ideal though

Manaphy does not stop Pult… would only be useful against ninja decks, and Drago (Kyurem)

Manaphy doesn't work against Pult, but it would be really helpful against Regidrago and Palkia!

If Charizard sets up it definitely has a big advantage over this deck. I think Bouffalant could help that matchup

@@CiaranTCG it can be a little difficult to set up and it’s only getting rid of one energy at a time. If that is when you’re talking about. And if you tell him about decreasing damage, that’s no problem because that’s what the dusknoit are for. And the deck is pretty crazy. I’ve seen it take five prizes in one turn.

I mean the bouffalant that decreseas damage since you force them to dusknoir. If they do that they are just accelerating your game for you

Charizard is just a tough matchup for the deck. One thing I try to do is take the first KO with Baby Moon and then KO Rotom. If you do this you can Frenzied Gouging to get yourself to 1 so they can't Dusclops/noir. You still leave the door open for Briar though

@@CiaranTCGbefore reading this I actually started doing exactly that and basically just using baby moon to do chip to set up for calamity storm. I also considered replacing baby moon and some other cards straight up with a small dusknoir package but that doesn’t seem worth it lol

There was a list from Joinville Regionals with the Dusknoir package. They are Pokehive on Twitter if you want to check them out!

1) I normally play from behind or can use Dusknoir to force myself down in prize cards, but after playing more I'd switch one of the Counter Catchers to a boss. 2) No, I don't think Heavy Ball is necessary. I play heavy counts of my basics, and if I need Bear I will probably get it out of the prizes before the game is done. 1-1 Pidgeot is fine to me, you don't need it every game

@@CiaranTCG thank you!

I think Thorton is a super cool card, and lets you pull off Dusknoir out of nowhere! I know Tord played it in his Turtle deck so it is definitely something to think about!

What matchup would that be for?

@@CiaranTCG Evolving decks where you can wellspring, crystal, DTE and donk? It does 80 to the active and 120 to the bench. Pop a noir for another ko in the same turn.

I just think Prime Catcher is too strong of an Ace Spec not to play

I have no idea tbh, but the terapagos cards are free on the ladder

I would for sure, but then the deck changes style a bit. Tord and Phillip Schulz are doing well at Dortmund with Bouffalant in their list. Once lists are up check theirs out!

You're the hero your league deserves

How could you struggle vs zard with iron leaves in your deck, it’s a zard slayer once you’re ahead in the prize trade you can always come out ahead.

The deck is definitely super toxic to sit across from lol. The palkia deck is super cool, I need to play more games with it

​@SanganY It requires a lot set up. I need Fan Rotom, Palkia V, squakbility, Terapagos in first turn.

Pokemon and Fossil did a collab a couple years ago. I don't think they're on the Pokemon Center still, but there should be some on eBay

Hey, thank you for your kind words and supporting my content! I love doing vod breakdowns like these. Whenever I'm on stream I'll try and break it down or if there are other cool matches that catch my eye

Regidrago is for sure the decks worst matchup. Kyurem is very strong in to it. A manaphy could help for sure. Lugia it just comes down to if you can take two prize cards before them

@@CiaranTCG Right. The deck is good, but its regional performance depends on the meta and they’ve been a lot of regidrago decks in the last 2 regionals.

There has been, but at Dortmund it was ~10%. No matter what deck you pick there will be bad matchups. Just have to avoid them sometimes for a deep run!

Both decks are good, but this one is super fun!

Charizard has a lot of trouble setting up going first, and normally needs to Rotom. If they do then that is a free 2 prizes for me. Also their zard only does 180 if they attack first. Going second with Lugia lets me read the wind and get turn 2 archeops much more consitently

@@CiaranTCG Thanks for the answer, and i'm really enjoying your content!

@@SaltyJimmy no problem, glad you're enjoying it :)

The list in the description is the same from the start of the video. The list in the games is slightly different because I recorded those first and after testing made the final list

The list in the description has a Dusclops. The list at the start of the video does not.

Oh my bad, I must hve copied the old one. I fixed it now, thanks for pointing it out!

I need to play the Palkia version more, but any deck with Noctowl is just insane right now. Stretcher combos insanely well with them too!

No, I think Mew is probably the most cuttable card

​@CiaranTCG thank you, so much brother, I am trying it without the mew today!!!

I filmed the games before I settled on the list at the beginning. Through the testing I concluded that it could be cut. You can see I didn't get much use out of it in any of them!

Gotcha! Thanks for the quick reply! Love your play style and hope you break through and win a regional soon brotha!

@@ericle6821 no problem, i really appreciate that :)

It's funny, Rowan and I actually discussed the deck before both of us posted our videos. I think a blend is probably good!

Agreed, that is such a crazy line to find that I don't most players are capable of. There's a reason Brent is so consistently at the top tables!

I think I could have just done Ultra Ball Double Research --> Noctowl --> Briar + Candy and then poffin to fill my bench. The way I did it I needed to hit something off of Fez

Not really to be honest, it does just feel like a go first matchup unfortunately. I think the game in the video shows though to not put a 2 prize Pokemon with less than 220 in to play

I think the Pikachu ex and Magneton combo can use the card crazy well too. It just seems like a card that will continue to get abused

I remember I was skeptical at first, but after a couple games I quickly realized how nuts the deck is!

Thank you sir!
