As a gouging fire enjoyer, "clunky garbage" hurts so much but yet is so true 😢 It's a bummer how it's only really playable in expanded with the fire support and volcanion for big damage increase Also with twilight masquerade it's only getting worse with dragapult and kieran boost, radiant alakazam moving damage counters and the monkey getting damage to your board 😅
@@OmniPoke but you must admit, it _is_ the best protection against Pult and might see some scattered play. Imo it’s a 2 or 3 right now and is poised to go up in the future imo
This is why I love ACE SPECs so much - they make up almost a third of this video's runtime. They are just so interesting and have been balanced so well that almost _all_ of them are viable to some degree somewhere. Easily my favourite singleton mechanic. As someone who doesn't play and so genuinely doesn't know the answer to this, I wonder how good Comp Search would be were it to come back in this day and age. Universal search is always a really fun effect to have access to, but I've no clue how that card would compete with the other ACE SPECs we have nowadays. Would it be on par with the likes of Prime Catcher and Unfair Stamp, or would it be a bit more niche?
I actually think with so much consistency in this format the power cards of stamp and prime probably see more play in a lot of decks Lugia would kill for comp search tho!!
Joe, can we get more deck analysis vids with ptcgl games next set 🥺 I miss the funnies that could happen on ladder and also see you think through an actual turn scenario. The recent tabletops are good, too 👍
I know /s but I raise you the last 3 years of November sets lol. Tempest killed the format with lugia, fusion killed the format with mew, vivid voltage actually the worst set. Be incredibly grateful pokemon is fun right now

17:15 I wonder if more decks consider it with Dragapult ex being an archetype, but even TrustYourPilot is skeptical 😆.
it doesnt feel good into pult, a lot of work to setup, easily dealt with and dragas back to chilling

Mist energy stops Dragapult damage counters right? My friend's building it so I'm just making sure I've got all my counters lined up
Sure does! Counter placement is an effect of an attack so IS blocked by mist
I like this video format! The re-review! Good stuff!

Coming real soon! New set is out on live this week and more tabletop as well
now this set needs a re re review
3:20 but maximum belt doesn’t hit extra dmg on lugia?
Yeah I was talking about the new Kieran as well here for zard
Its a bit rough that most of the new stuff ended up being too slow or mid, feel bad for gouging fire, gengar ect
Instead we got older gens being the better archeatypes, oh but wait, they are tera types ! (Sarcasm) 😆
TWM buylist incoming soon?!?! fingers crossed
Yes
The future and ancient archeatype need better cards
I don't understand why these new gimmicks are made bad 😅
Worse set of all time confirmed ? /s
I know /s but I raise you the last 3 years of November sets lol. Tempest killed the format with lugia, fusion killed the format with mew, vivid voltage actually the worst set. Be incredibly grateful pokemon is fun right now
@@mr.fluffypantz4150not super well versed with ss era, how is vivid voltage the worst set?
@@gravitymonkey9300just bad cards, temporal forces is way better cuz there’s actual playable cards lol
/j
@Kewa_ I mean, Lugia and lost boxes wouldn’t have existed anywhere near the state they were in without vivid voltage dropping the amazing rares
