@Hisuian_zoroark_and_zorua_fan i have a feeling that when trading finally drops it'll be limited to 1 to 3 diamond cards (though i am holding out a wee bit of hope that 4 diamonds, ie EXs, will be allowed for trade as well since theyre so key to building most decks). However I'd bet the farm that cards who are 1 star and above won't be allowed for trade. However it would be awesome if they were included, even if the devs limited to 1 or 2 trades for that rarity each month per account, but again I highly doubt it since this is a gacha first and foremost so that seems TOO generous (from the devs standpoint)
@@daigustoemeral3710 yeah the problem isn’t artwork or recoil bro but the damage. Arcanine face a competitive rival with Charizard ex. Charizard second move deal 200 damage which mean this move definitely KO your oponnent because no one can pass 200 hp yet and with Moltres ex combination you can spam this move because despite that move drain 2 energy but charizard can easily get that back again. all you have to do get one energy from moltres and give one more from free energy from every turn
@KodexKat hurting yourself for 120 is bad, but dealing 150 is another story that's the break point to kill most meta threat, Blaine is aggro deck so not like they care much about taking damage if it deal huge damage to opp faster
We need a gengar ex deck next! As an aside I really like farfetch'd and starmie ex decks. Low energy cost and easy to pivot. Add 1 articuno ex to help get damage on mons that switch out and its killer ngl
I've had fun with arcanine and it's better than people think, imo. It's like a mini zard. I wish Blaine boosted Arcanine's attack. That would probably make him broken though.
I've been running this deck without Moltres EX because I've only been cracking Pikachu packs. I threw in a Red Card and an extra Potion instead. It has been doing very well against like level 10-15 tcg players. If you run into KenBone expect to see Arcanine EX (:
It's nice to see some Arcanine decks. I somehow only have two Arcanine and my guaranteed Marowak, so seeing some use here is helpful! Hopefully at some point I can either get more supports for it or another EX.
Switch Ponyta line with Ninetales line 🤝🏼 also weirdly drop a potion and run double Blaine just to ensure I pull it a bit easier, but now I wanna try the potion/Blaine combo. This game is great, man. Just so much room for little deck tweaking already, can’t imagine what the game could look like just a few months down the road
13:54 "they have gardevior next turn" my brother in christ their hand is empty, they top deck it or nothing and even if they do, you have a backup arcanine you can just revenge kill with for game there is nothing whatsoever they can do to win here
My favorite deck by far has been gengar weezing, with the exact comp being X2 ghastly, haunter, gengar EX X2 Koffing, weezing X2 oak, potion, speed, pokeball X1 sabrina giovanni This has been by far the most consistent deck I have been able to make, since I lack the cards needed for the meta decks. I think I'm at 11 wins on the event, with my only loss being a turn 2 articuno sweep lol
@@samuelkurniawan1383recoil won’t change any. The fact is Charizard is his competitive rival. Arcanine won’t ever win this competition because Charizard itself stronger. Charizard guranteed one hit KO and this move only drain 2 energy and this is simple job for any fire type team with moltres help
@@samuelkurniawan1383plus the recoil only 20 bro and this is a 120 hp pokemon. That recoil isn’t the problem you should concern, all you have to do is bring 2 potion. The main problem is damage
Can you do a Fire + Heliolisk deck? I used to play a lot of Smogon Singles, so I abhor a Pokémon composition without type diversity. Heliolisk can run on Fire energy, and is super effective against Water. It feels like it should work.
I’ve been thinking about getting a new iPad for a while and about a week ago I was like “Hey, I could use that for TCG Pocket when it comes out because that would probably be nice for the battles and stuff!” I noticed a couple days ago you were also playing on an iPad and it looks just like the one I got yesterday. I got an iPad 10th gen.
I actually use this deck already. Except I take out Pontya and Rapidash for Flareon and Eevee. With 2 moltres, the chances of starting with one is greater. So it’s easier to fill their energies. And he can absorb a great deal of damage. So if I can get him on the board first with at least 1 other fire type on the bench at the start, it’s game over for any hand. You might as well forfeit if I can start 2 on the bench. 😂
@@JazzyJeff910 The only thing I don't like about Flareon is if you don't draw it, Moltres can't ramp up the eevee beforehand, leading to awkward hands.
Only ever run into one proper Arcanine ex deck (that has deck setup similar to yours). Out from fire deck, Charizard ex deck is the most common fire deck I run into. But Charizard ex deck is just Misty gimmick but more steps, essentially worse than Misty deck. There also the Blaine Ninetails deck, which is considered the most consistent / win rate among fire deck now. In term of attack power, Blaine Ninetails deck is pretty similar to Arcanine ex deck. The only difference is, Blaine Ninetails deck has way better consistency, and can actually put up a fight against Starmie ex deck, because Blaine Ninetails deck just clear board so fast that opponent drawing even one or two wrong cards mean instant lose. (Arcanine ex deck need a really good luck in getting the correct cards when against Starmie ex deck) Speaking of which, Starmie ex deck is also quite popular. I run into it like five times today. (Obviously I got my arse handed to them. They setup Starmie ex too fast and board wipe me every time)
This was 1 to 1 the first deck I made in this game when I finally had enough cards to build a functioning deck it’s not the best but it’s what I had lol
Been playing around with a fun little grass deck atm, 2 caterpie line and 1 bulbasaur line into venu ex, kinda odd little deck, at first you use caterpies to find all your mons since find a friend can also pull evolutions, in tandem with pokeball and prof research you end up pulling a bunch of cards, start pumping that bulbasaur, if you have your bulba line in hand swap it in and let it tank, itll feel like you are at disadvantage to begin with, until you start taking those turns back with venu undoing all their damage, have had several games where venu gets hit hard, but double butterfree and venus giant bloom just undoes 70 damage a turn for free, i do have double potion/erika too to help with bigger hits and venu has 190hp, pretty funny watching venu eat 2 machamp ex mega punches and still having near full hp. Its not the most consistent, and red card screws with it heavily, but its fun!
I just hope they did something about having three pokemons of the same class in your deck. Like, you get some sort of synthesis if you bench lets say, the three legendary birds in your deck. Playing one of them while the other two is benched gives your active legendary some bonuses in battles
Since I didn’t get a Moltres, I’m running a hybrid Blaine with Arcanine ex as the finisher. If you can spread out some early damage, you can Sabrina snag some kills endgame with the recoil not affecting you so much. I like pressure poking while building bombs. It’s the only way around mana cheating
I've been running a similar deck but with Centiskorch instead of Arcanine. It may have less HP and needs more energy, but the extra damage, no recoil, and not being EX more than make up for it.
Run into Moltres ex Centiskorch deck in before. Gotta say this deck is neat. You can probably even run one or two stall pokemon such as non ex Moltres (one retreat cost, basic pokemon, huge hp pool), Kangaskhan (one energy to start apply pressure, basic pokemon, huge hp pool).
@@awqweird Man, because only playing Mewtwo and Pikachu get so damn boring so damn fast. I really hope ranked comes soon so they leave gen pop in peace.
I think they need to implement a feature where players are able to create their own league/ tournament in the game, and anyone with the code can join in.. much like a private lobby
Drop the Ponita/Rapidash, the deck is T-1 if it's just Growlithe/Moltres. 50% chance to open Moltres making it very consistent, and if you open Growlithe, there's a good chance you'll be able to X-Speed the Growlithe if you can get Moltres on board.
the main problem in Arcanine ex deck isn’t about recoil damage. you don’t need worry about that, this is a 120 hp pokemon and the recoil only 20. What you should concern is the competitive rival and the damage. Arcanine can only deal 120 dmg and Charizard can deal 200 dmg with only 2 energy lost. Plus we all know 2 energy lost isn’t a big deal for a energy give ability like moltres and gardevoir. What can you expect ? this is a big differences
Arcanine one shots staples like Pika ex and weezing and also Starmie EX with gio. Its not a bad counter but totally overshadowed by Charizard or even blaine ninetails. If more energy acceleration cards get printed it could be even better.
I use the same setup except giovani swap with meow before pretty good, now I use ninetail and rapidh in my deck only..( + blain ) and I love when fight again Mewtwo and Charizard deck 😅
Never once in my life have I heard someone pronounce Growlithe's name the way it's spelled until Jake 😂 Everyone I know have always pronounced it "Grrowl-ith"
Can I make a request? I would love to see a strategy around Cinccino if possible, it is 3 energy stage 1 but it’s 90 attack if you have full bench and only one retreat energy PLUS its normal type so it can be used with anything, I feel like there is a strategy with that that can be busted. 90 HP can be good considering it can come out with x speed no energy wasted or only one energy which is still nice
90 hp is not a good hp point for a three energy attack pokemon like Cinccino. Considering some of the most popular deck out there like, Starmie ex doing 90 dmg with two energy, Pika ex doing 90 dmg with two energy, Ninetails doing 90 dmg with two energy, the only really difference Cinccino can offer is, its being colorless and no restriction on bench pokemon type. If you run Cinccino tech, you are not gonna put Cinccino in fire / water / electric deck that's for sure. Grass deck kinda have no need for Cinccino because they have Exeggutor / Exeggutor ex which only require one energy and can do big dmg, that is infinitely better than Cinccino three energy requirement + full bench. Metal deck, no. Metal deck don't want energy invest into Cinccino who will potentially get one shot later. Metal deck rather just play Mawile stall & Melmetal sweep. Melmetal also comes with 20 def which is far sturdier than Cinccino. Dark deck, no. Nido deck don't need anything else due to it being too tight on card slots. Weez Arbok deck loop around with Koga, poison, Arbok's no retreat and all these options are not as energy hungry as Cinccino. Hence pull off faster than Cinccino can. They also have bigger hp pool than Cinccino, which means less likely of getting one shot. And even if Weez get one shot, you only lost one energy invest compare to Cinccino where you lost three energy invest. Fighting deck, probably no. Fighting decks have two most win rate decks. Marowak ex deck don't need Cinccino because Marowak ex hit harder & require less energy than Cinccino, Brock Onix deck don't need Cinccino because Onix can just get its energy faster than Cinccino due to Brock and start swinging to win. Onix also has 110 hp which allows it to tank Starmie ex / Pika ex 90 dmg attack include Giovanni. This is the exact hp pool you want on a three energy pokemon. Dragonite deck, again no. You want to invest energy into Dragonite which is the winning condition (hit 4x 50dmg). Plus Dragonair itself also hit decent 80 dmg without the need to full bench. If you slot in Cinccino tech into Dragonite deck, you are going to just find that you either invest energy into Cinccino to get ko so fast leaving you energyless Dratini, or you invest energy into Dratini and have a purposeless Cinccino standing outside in the field. At this point I'd rather just use Pidgeot tech.
@@曉p-p7tI appreciate the long response, yeah I can’t figure any deck where it works, I think this card should get a little more HP or less HP but only 2 energy. Only thing I can think of is some time of stall deck with other 1 energy only Pokemon to set up Cinccino but it’s not strong enough to warrant that and I guess it’s really unnecessary to run it anyway. Still going to research this I’m not familiar with all cards yet I wanna have fun and catch people off guard, thinking any Pokemon that can draw other cards or fetch Pokemon can work if you can get this set up in 3.
@@samuelkurniawan1383yeah I’m aware, guess I’m asking more as a “I have a challenge for you” I still think it can work with other one energy cards or maybe grass stall because of Erika? But I guess Cinccino will never be a main wincon
Imo weakest ex is Wigglytuff, courtesy of being a normal type with no way to get energy quickly, 3 energy for 80dmg and a rng check feels bad, and for it being a stage 1 evo, 140hp just is a little bit too low to be viable and stall until it gets the energy it needs.
I feel like Marowak has got to be worse, at least Arcanine's damage is consistent. Relying on a 50/50 to do any damage at all is awful IMO. Arcanine's main issue is that Growlithe kinda just sits there doing nothing for a turn, and it has to compete with Charizard for the fire deck of choice, who is pretty much guaranteed to nuke one or two cards when it hits the board.
I actually have a “budget” version using Centiskorch instead of the Arcanine and Kangaskan instead instead of the Moltres. Ideally I would try and get the 2 moltres but honestly centscorch might be a bit better than arcanine
Oh man just wait until he figures out how to make the nidoking and queen deck work. Got a love hate relationship with some very cool cards that are just so bad
2 cubone 2 marowak 2 researcher 2 pokeball 2 sabrina 2 x speed 1 x red card 1 x giovanni 6 card space for any other pokemon that you may want to include
It's very difficult to play blastoise if you don't hit heads on misty and 5 energy is just nuts the game is usually over by then. Worst part is that blast is my favourite pokemon of all time 😢
@daigustoemeral3710 exactly, plus if you're feeling gutsy with misty, i think lapras as a basic and gyarados as stage 1 feels much better choices here. Justice for #team_Blastoise
Don't reroll are you nuts!? Getting char crown is a 1 in 1500 chance. Getting any crown is a 1 in 500 packs chance. PLus you got the mewtwo immersive as well? You got the best start to the game imaginable.
Don't reroll. Even if they ended up not meta anymore (now people keep playing counter to Mewtwo ex deck), cards still pretty rare and this game is not all about pvp. Collecting cards is the other part of fun and I'd say you got pretty collection there!
the one thing i really dislike of pokemon pocket is that they dumbed down cards so much. some things are worse than stuff released in 1996 but then add ex... like come on
Basic=1st form/unevolved/single stage mon (Farfetch'd, Geodude, Cubone, etc) Stage 1= the first evolution in the line (Gravler, Marowak) Stage 2=Final evolution (exclusive to mons with 3 members of the evolution line; Golem, Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, etc) Stage 3 would mean there are 4 members of the family: Ghastly (basic)-> Haunter (stage 1)-> Gengar (stage 2)-> ?? non-existent 4th evo(Stage 3)
Because on the cards it goes from Basic -> Stage 1 -> Stage 2 I'm not sure if the company who made this did this because they thought that this would be more understandable than going from stage 1-3, but it's just a small quirk of the game
Myself and my 7 Arcanine EX say thanks

Onix also has 110 hp which allows it to tank Starmie ex / Pika ex 90 dmg attack include Giovanni. This is the exact hp pool you want on a three energy pokemon.
Dragonite deck, again no. You want to invest energy into Dragonite which is the winning condition (hit 4x 50dmg). Plus Dragonair itself also hit decent 80 dmg without the need to full bench. If you slot in Cinccino tech into Dragonite deck, you are going to just find that you either invest energy into Cinccino to get ko so fast leaving you energyless Dratini, or you invest energy into Dratini and have a purposeless Cinccino standing outside in the field. At this point I'd rather just use Pidgeot tech.
90 HP, Three energy to attack, that's two sentences doomed this card.
@@曉p-p7tI appreciate the long response, yeah I can’t figure any deck where it works, I think this card should get a little more HP or less HP but only 2 energy. Only thing I can think of is some time of stall deck with other 1 energy only Pokemon to set up Cinccino but it’s not strong enough to warrant that and I guess it’s really unnecessary to run it anyway. Still going to research this I’m not familiar with all cards yet I wanna have fun and catch people off guard, thinking any Pokemon that can draw other cards or fetch Pokemon can work if you can get this set up in 3.
@@samuelkurniawan1383yeah I’m aware, guess I’m asking more as a “I have a challenge for you” I still think it can work with other one energy cards or maybe grass stall because of Erika? But I guess Cinccino will never be a main wincon
Imo weakest ex is Wigglytuff, courtesy of being a normal type with no way to get energy quickly, 3 energy for 80dmg and a rng check feels bad, and for it being a stage 1 evo, 140hp just is a little bit too low to be viable and stall until it gets the energy it needs.
I feel like Marowak has got to be worse, at least Arcanine's damage is consistent. Relying on a 50/50 to do any damage at all is awful IMO. Arcanine's main issue is that Growlithe kinda just sits there doing nothing for a turn, and it has to compete with Charizard for the fire deck of choice, who is pretty much guaranteed to nuke one or two cards when it hits the board.
They should increase the health of all cards almost to their irl counterparts.
he didnt even realize that his opponent doesn't have a hand and is just top decking stuff
Growlithe
Have I been pronouncing his name wrong my whole life?
no, if you're pronouncing it 'Grow-lith', then that's right imo
@@Grappdaddy no hes pronouncing it wrong and it is literally his only flaw in life. Otherwise hes poke-jesus
growl lith
no, he probably just never saw the show
I wonder if they'll buff or nerf some cards in the future.
Doggo attack should only be 2 energy. He has hp drawback but his hp too low.
I just throw Arcanine into the Ninetales and Rapidash deck.
I actually have a “budget” version using Centiskorch instead of the Arcanine and Kangaskan instead instead of the Moltres. Ideally I would try and get the 2 moltres but honestly centscorch might be a bit better than arcanine
I wish they had “burn” for fire types
I use 2 charizards ex 1 moltres ex and 2 arcanines ex and its good.
Growlithe having 70 hp is nice... it'd be nicer if you'd say his damn name right haha
do a Charizard n Charizard ex deck guide jake
Has anyone tried butterfree+arcanine EX combo?
Oh man just wait until he figures out how to make the nidoking and queen deck work. Got a love hate relationship with some very cool cards that are just so bad
15:27 Giovani?? after you attack that mewtwo you will only have 40hp, no need Giovani 😂
It's Growl-ith
Can you do two marowak ex builds since its my starter ex and got dup ex from free pack
2 cubone
2 marowak
2 researcher
2 pokeball
2 sabrina
2 x speed
1 x red card
1 x giovanni
6 card space for any other pokemon that you may want to include
you say Growlithe like that one more time...
Wigglytuff EX is rough. Bad typing and only 80 damage for 3 energy.
Wigglytuff has to be one of the worst EX, maybe seconded by Gengar EX
Imo, i think Blastoise EX is unplayable.
It's very difficult to play blastoise if you don't hit heads on misty and 5 energy is just nuts the game is usually over by then.
Worst part is that blast is my favourite pokemon of all time 😢
@daigustoemeral3710 exactly, plus if you're feeling gutsy with misty, i think lapras as a basic and gyarados as stage 1 feels much better choices here.
Justice for #team_Blastoise
My big boi
Lapras has got to be the worst EX pokemon currently in the game
18:24 they couldn't KO you cause they didn't have energy
That growLYTHE pronunciation is like nails on a chalkboard lol keep up the good work though
IMO EX Lapras is really bad because of the high energy cost & retreat cost.
Here i am trying to get the trainer cards
Craft them
if only its was 2 energy
Have you considered just using an android emulator for this so you dont have to worry about your capture card?
Also I hate heatmor. It's hideous lol
I smoke everybody with this card
I'm sure he's great for everyone else, but for me Marowak ex is the worst. 2 energy for 0 damage every time.
Not hitting heads truly sucks😢
okay but how do yall have all these cards?? are yall payin for packs?????
Yo bro I have been rerolling.I'm trying to get Mewtwo ex deck but i got charizard crown rare and mewtwo immersive rare.
Should i reroll?
Don't reroll are you nuts!? Getting char crown is a 1 in 1500 chance. Getting any crown is a 1 in 500 packs chance. PLus you got the mewtwo immersive as well? You got the best start to the game imaginable.
@@Osjeythanks man❤
Don't reroll. Even if they ended up not meta anymore (now people keep playing counter to Mewtwo ex deck), cards still pretty rare and this game is not all about pvp. Collecting cards is the other part of fun and I'd say you got pretty collection there!
@@曉p-p7tthanks man❤
GROWLYTHE?
Growl-ith. Not Growl-eye-th.
Can you save up packs? Not hourglasses. Packs like the free one you get everyday and the bonus one if you purchase the 10$ subscription
I love your energy and your content but to be fair those were mostly amateur / beginner players, it doesnt really prove Arcanine ex is viable 😄
Gengar ex probably the worst. I love my charizard ex but when I’m up against pikachu and mewtwo it takes too long to get going.
the one thing i really dislike of pokemon pocket is that they dumbed down cards so much. some things are worse than stuff released in 1996 but then add ex... like come on
Why do people say this is stage 1? I thought its stage 2. And charizard would be stage 3.
Basic=1st form/unevolved/single stage mon (Farfetch'd, Geodude, Cubone, etc)
Stage 1= the first evolution in the line (Gravler, Marowak)
Stage 2=Final evolution (exclusive to mons with 3 members of the evolution line; Golem, Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, etc)
Stage 3 would mean there are 4 members of the family: Ghastly (basic)-> Haunter (stage 1)-> Gengar (stage 2)-> ?? non-existent 4th evo(Stage 3)
Because on the cards it goes from
Basic -> Stage 1 -> Stage 2
I'm not sure if the company who made this did this because they thought that this would be more understandable than going from stage 1-3, but it's just a small quirk of the game
Please stop pronouncing Growlithe like that. The “i” sounds like it does in “igloo” not like “eye”
@@codydewees5825 moltres too 😂
This lol
if only Arcanine have 160hp instead of 150hp... it just got enough to survive once Mewtwo's move...
@@whymyluckstatsistoolow why comment this here
GRRRRR! He doesn't pronounce something the same way as me grrrr 😡😡😡
Silazzle is way better than ponyta
Not a fan of Arcanine. If at least it didn't damage itself, I could see it
