This has been my go to deck recently. In love with all the angry faces and the concedes and the 1600 damage MVP status for a 90hp Pokemon. Simply beautiful.
That is some encouraging comments. For someone like me, TPL severe narcissim (sorry everyone when i loose it) i would like to underline and bold your comment. Thank you for taking the time to do good.
Hi, It was a pleasure to meet you at the San Diego Pokemon Meet. Back in Jan. the first weekend of 2023. The whole weekend was a blast. Having to see many players. It was Fantasic. Thank you.
Might have to try this deck, a single prize deck with consistency like this is my kind of deck. Loved Distilled Blast Gyarados in the previous format, and this format I'm loving Lunarock. Really want to try out the Kyogre deck as well.

I love that Butterfree! I've been using it for a few weeks! But there's a major flaw with this deck. It's weak against evolution decks or decks that play no V Pokémon, because you have to repeat the Butterfree evolution 6 times, and it's just too complicated. And having no basic energy makes it so Salazzle can't attack without Butterfree evolving. It's a major issue I've been facing using thia deck myself.
I unironically went against this deck right after adding in a couple Big Parasol tools because I wanted more utility in my deck to deal with status effects and such, I never knew how strong the potential was because that one card totally negates the strategy here, but watching this vid still leaves me rolling
Yea Mahone. The only thing that can beat this deck is another single prize deck. Please check out my deck list. Malamar is better with Basculin.

I had to comment when you started bustin' out Missy Elliot lol. Glad I subbed to this channel. I recently got back into the card game and also got my nine year old daughter into it as well. It's not even been two weeks and she's already doing fantastic! She's a little strategist. Going to show her your channel when she comes home from school. I know she will like it. She's obsessed with building OP decks lol.
What I'm looking for is Malamar XY 58 promo.... Add Dragalge, and Buterfree. All coin flips are tails. Can't retreat. Debating Virbank gym or Dust island for stadium. Just gotta get a good way to prevent switching and boss.
my favorite 1hit vmax ko 1 prizer is lost thunder donphan with shining celebi and celestial storm phanpy. you take a hit and you are left with 1 hp from donphan's sturdy ability, then u use phanpy's attack (30x for each damage counter) because of celebi's ability and you can hit for up to 350 damage.
First! Hey quick question, your stream says you start at 8am, but I tried to catch you yesterday and the day before but I wait until almost 9 and I didn't see you start a stream. What time do you usually start your streams?
I'm really happy to see a deck with out any vmax pokemon doing well. I think throughout Pokemon's history ex's and ridiculous basic Pokemon were always too dominant for my taste.
A friend of mine actually pulled this deck out on me in one of our local tournaments and I just barely pulled out a win by flipping correctly on the check up and survived to get the last knock out
Holy shit dude just got back into this game its been awhile and I was getting wrecked by vmax and was shit need step up my game and I love finding decks out there to build like this amazing 👏
i actaully made this combo day1 well somthing super simular but diddnt have the water pokemon but im a butterfree player since gen1 i knew this was sweet your is way better i dont have all the trainerr card knowledge but the consept
Strange you run the CEL yvetal and the pyukyumuku from FST. I understand why..but..it doesn't seem to make sense in a deck that wants to just go butterfree and hit face for win..
I built this deck with the inteleon engine too..one guy was like. Thats too much stage 2's.. It works. Soo great..I run piers to get the twin. Or raihan when I get KO'd.. But I have a 3-3 line of salazzle and 2-2-2 inteleon.. I can't remember the numbers on my butterfree line ATM ..
I'll Post my decklist this evening . I have yet to lose with this deck..even before I added the Inteleon line. Before them..i had one medicham v in the deck .I never used it..once..that was the only tech in the deck .but inteleon helps with the last bit of 20 damage since some to most vmaxes have 320..only a few have 330 and 340 .
i watched this entire video and dont even or havnt even played pokemon tcg, quite a bit of magic tho and i appreciate what i believe to be a meme deck lol
"thinning the deck" is a general card game term. The answer that people would usually say is that it increases consistency. Specifically, by removing cards that is useless to your situation from your deck, every draw that you do later on have higher chances of giving you cards that are useful to you.
I remember back during mega how I build a garchomp and mega lucario deck for a 2 way victory if they focused on having just ex my garchomp would kill them if they focused something else lucario was the mvp
Espeon Vmax has a ability called solar revelation that prevents special effects from each of your Pokémon that have energy, so this deck is not entirely unbeatable.
Haha, Awesome! Because of your existence, the powerful pokemon is more and more difficult to play 😂 Basically, I surrendered when I saw such cards in the game, because i only took one card to kill it, and he killed me to take three. It's too painful haha nice nice
wizards of the coast: hey it's a cool card it does an extra 90 damage if they have a status me: what if they have 2 statuses? wizards of the coast: then that's cool! me: how about 3? wizards of the coast: you'll never get 3 statuses on your opponents pokemon... right?
Suggestion:- Instead of a Salazzle you should use Hisuian Sneasler V instead. It does the same thing but for just one dark energy(because special energy can be removed easily).😊 Edit: also you won’t have to evolve…
I realize I'm saying this as someone who literally just opened a Fusion Strike Booster box that he ordered on whim while intoxicated... but did he really just say "It's just a couple booster boxes" ??? Like that's not a very big purchase for most people? Cause it absolutely is a pretty big purchase for most people. Anyway, this deck is pretty cool! It's always fun to see such common cards actually be viable in the game competitively, even as a fringe deck. Even better when it's a deck where there's so much evolution!
@@TrickyGym Maybe for high level competitors, but I don't think the average fan/collector/player is dropping a couple hundred dollars every now and then like it's no big deal. I don't mean to imply it's hugely expensive or anything, just that that's not a minor purchase.
It's no different then most people dropping money on any other hobbies. I used to larp and most people it was common to drop a couple hundred a few times a year. Same with gaming and other hobbies
@@DNeff-vv4lm And you say that like it means just casually dropping a few hundred dollars isn't a considerable purchase? Man I work my ass off full time and I do drop that kind of money on cards, but it's usually a big deal when I do. But these guys are making it sound like buying a 3 pack blister or 2. lol
Love budget decks!!! Classic way to play pokemon tcg. This just shows that you don't always need the heavy bois in order to take wins!!!!
This has been my go to deck recently. In love with all the angry faces and the concedes and the 1600 damage MVP status for a 90hp Pokemon.
Simply beautiful.
Just found your channel recently. Never played the Pokémon TCG before, but thankfully memes are a universal language. Great stuff!
That is some encouraging comments.
For someone like me, TPL severe narcissim (sorry everyone when i loose it) i would like to underline and bold your comment.
Thank you for taking the time to do good.
Been running this deck since fusion strike dropped hoping this day would never come 😂 now you’ve given away the secrets
I actually bought the singles for this deck a few days ago, im even more excited to try it out now!
I've had a weepinbell physical deck since that came out. I only opened 1 butterfree, so to online I go!
I've been running the older butterfree for a while and my eyes lit up when I pulled this one. It's so fast!
It's made all the more hilarious considering the signature move is called "derisive roasting" lmao
Dude I don’t play Pokémon tag anymore but I still enjoy your channel. Might get back into it.

I run 2 Fire energy and Raihan for that very reason. If you don't, you get walled by Duruladon VMax of all things.
@@TheForeverRanger or add sneasler v as a back up attacker thats a basic pkmn, and add 2 dark and raihan
I unironically went against this deck right after adding in a couple Big Parasol tools because I wanted more utility in my deck to deal with status effects and such, I never knew how strong the potential was because that one card totally negates the strategy here, but watching this vid still leaves me rolling
Thanks for adding that game at the end. Nice to see plot armor fall off :)
I actually enjoy what the pokemon TCG has to offer game-wise. I like the cycling-centric (in terms of drawing cards) play style it encourages.
*Opponent attaches a fusion strike energy.*
Salazzle/ Butterfree peeps be like: _FAAAAAARRRRKK!@#$% I ran out of my Fans..._ 😢
Andrew doing them dirty god damn 🤣
Yea Mahone. The only thing that can beat this deck is another single prize deck. Please check out my deck list.

I just finished this deck. It's tons of fun!! Thanks a bunch!
This will make you feel old. When you sung that missy Elliott song, I thought you were singing "the honey G song"
This might sound weird, but... love seeing a loss! Thank you for including!!
im thankful for busted Tricky Gym decks *turkey emoji*
bro i fuckin love andrew even more now after that missy elliot reference
Good job dude I love this deck and will annihilate all when the new fire stadium drops
This is the deck bro , this is it lmao 🤣 that's freaking hilarious 😂 buttersauce is bullying those v's 🤣🤣
More scoops than an ice cream parlour out here! Keep it up man!! Love the content!
What I'm looking for is Malamar XY 58 promo....

18:35 Mahone was listening to the Radio Disney version
Yo stop hitting me in the 00’s with those bangers bro chill
this guys laugh is the funniest thing ive ever heard
in a good way
The cultural hip hop reference to songs is why I appreciate you ✊🏿
my favorite 1hit vmax ko 1 prizer is lost thunder donphan with shining celebi and celestial storm phanpy. you take a hit and you are left with 1 hp from donphan's sturdy ability, then u use phanpy's attack (30x for each damage counter) because of celebi's ability and you can hit for up to 350 damage.
Definitely the best deck I've seen in awhile.
I love these deck. Built the weeping bell one. Glad to see this butterfree card now
I really do wish it was the way it used to be when there was no v or gx but it is what it is
First! Hey quick question, your stream says you start at 8am, but I tried to catch you yesterday and the day before but I wait until almost 9 and I didn't see you start a stream. What time do you usually start your streams?
i start at about 9:30 AM ET, also i didnt stream yesterday because it was thanksgiving
This is the same strategy with weepingbell. Does the same thing. Very fun and interesting build.
They probably raged quit because you're taking 5 minutes to complete your turn lol
Another fun deck idea, let's go! Love the channel!
Great content!! Staying humble 👊
I've always wanted to use Butterfree. I'm gonna need some more cards to do what you did there
I'm really happy to see a deck with out any vmax pokemon doing well. I think throughout Pokemon's history ex's and ridiculous basic Pokemon were always too dominant for my taste.
A friend of mine actually pulled this deck out on me in one of our local tournaments and I just barely pulled out a win by flipping correctly on the check up and survived to get the last knock out
With doble turbo and choice belt, this deck amazing
Holy shit dude just got back into this game its been awhile and I was getting wrecked by vmax and was shit need step up my game and I love finding decks out there to build like this amazing 👏
This deck will be a legitimate archetype in about a month and a half.
Choice Belt + Double Turbo Energy will make this deck insane for sure! Pokemon VStar are even easier to 1-shot than VMax's too!
You should add koga’s trap. It confuses and poisones your opponents active Pokémon
i actaully made this combo day1 well somthing super simular but diddnt have the water pokemon but im a butterfree player since gen1 i knew this was sweet your is way better i dont have all the trainerr card knowledge but the consept
Missy is searching for a DECK. A Pokemon deck. She obviously misplaced it. So she's searching. Yeah!
That is too funny watching those pure VMAX decks rage quit hahaha.
This combo is absolutely META!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
No it isn't, it's cool but definitely not meta, im not sure you understand what meta means champ
awesome video bro :D
Been playing it for a week now and love it!
so should we swap out twin energies for double energies? We dont want to loose capture enrgy because we get to search right?
I'm really going to have to buy the singles for this, aren't I?
I saw this deck roughly a week ago and loved it. Went to build it and realized I hardly bought any Battle Styles so I don’t have em… lol
Its better than the weepinble version
Im gonna level with ya…ur laugh cracks me the fuck up😂😂😂
Quick question: Why use twin energy and not double colorless? Is it just up to preference?
Strange you run the CEL yvetal and the pyukyumuku from FST. I understand why..but..it doesn't seem to make sense in a deck that wants to just go butterfree and hit face for win..
I see why now..I forgot about fusion energy decks..
I built this deck with the inteleon engine too..one guy was like. Thats too much stage 2's.. It works. Soo great..I run piers to get the twin. Or raihan when I get KO'd.. But I have a 3-3 line of salazzle and 2-2-2 inteleon.. I can't remember the numbers on my butterfree line ATM ..
I'll Post my decklist this evening .
I have yet to lose with this deck..even before I added the Inteleon line. Before them..i had one medicham v in the deck .I never used it..once..that was the only tech in the deck .but inteleon helps with the last bit of 20 damage since some to most vmaxes have 320..only a few have 330 and 340 .
I'm curious
Mew stadium is for inteleon cheryl match up I think
what was the previous card salazzle was paired with again?
So exiting to see lots of single prize rn
I don't know if this will help but to avoid the energy problem before Brilliant Stars comes out I might put in a Leafeon V and energy switch.
Is shipping to Sweden available?
What are the yveltal and pyukumuku for
How can i make this deck? What booster pack should i buy?
i watched this entire video and dont even or havnt even played pokemon tcg, quite a bit of magic tho and i appreciate what i believe to be a meme deck lol
Love it ! I would add an Alistair !!! (Twin and/or yveltal)
I wonder if the Beedrill would fit it in this
I haven’t seen so many scoops since I went to Baskin Robbins
How can you alter this deck to have a chance at winning against mew/fusion strike?
Hey Mahone! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 80K subscribers and have an amazing afternoon! 😁👍
Just got into TCGO and loving your videos. Question: what is the strategic purpose of “thinning the deck”?

Specifically, by removing cards that is useless to your situation from your deck, every draw that you do later on have higher chances of giving you cards that are useful to you.
Great deck brother
I remember back during mega how I build a garchomp and mega lucario deck for a 2 way victory if they focused on having just ex my garchomp would kill them if they focused something else lucario was the mvp
I actually played against this yesterday while I was playing aromatic energy lol. Butterfree did not appreciate that.
Is there a way to just import this deck into ptcg
Can this deck compete in a regional level tournament?
i wish i was a smarter kid back in the day, i would have had so many binders full of pokemon cards if i only had a brain back then
Espeon Vmax has a ability called solar revelation that prevents special effects from each of your Pokémon that have energy, so this deck is not entirely unbeatable.
Forest of giant plants was banned for a reason XD
How to build this deck sir?
Haha, Awesome! Because of your existence, the powerful pokemon is more and more difficult to play 😂 Basically, I surrendered when I saw such cards in the game, because i only took one card to kill it, and he killed me to take three. It's too painful haha nice nice
Unbelievable that this deck actually works lol
wizards of the coast: hey it's a cool card it does an extra 90 damage if they have a status
me: what if they have 2 statuses?
wizards of the coast: then that's cool!
me: how about 3?
wizards of the coast: you'll never get 3 statuses on your opponents pokemon... right?
WotC hasn't made the pokemon TCG in literal decades though?
I miss the day I was playing this deck to do 250 damage to most pokemon and ohko-ing arceus with choice belt 😢
Suggestion:- Instead of a Salazzle you should use Hisuian Sneasler V instead. It does the same thing but for just one dark energy(because special energy can be removed easily).😊

How does this deck do against single prize decks?
I'm battling an obstagon deck right now and can tell you its rough. There aren't enough resources for 6 knockouts.
Is it really rage quitting if you have already lost?
That butterfly
I would love to see these guys reactions lmao
I fought this with my zacian v deck and I was dead so fast lol
Bro that’s insane
So broken! Went with Leafeon V instead of Inteleon and it’s working out well. Just need to refine the balance.
Honestly I would drop the inteleon line because you don’t need to play it
A new upload? Butterfree up your schedule… sorry not sorry.
