Cool vid, I was also trying two forest seals in my deck, makes candy gardy ex on turn 2 much easier, which is key against lost box in my opinion. Playing 1 serena and 3 research instead of 4 since I still have lumineon and 3 ultra ball to look for them. Have been trying a Gallade or a Drifloon instead of a Kirlia in order to have another one prize attacker mainly for lost box. I've noticed I only ever play 1-2 kirlias and candy the other ralts so that's why. Have had a lot of trouble against mew, guess I will be playing 2 collapsed instead of just the 1.
Hard to tell, the format will look so different because of iono. I think it will be ok but it already looks like from japan running a dedicated drifloon deck is mid
also, do you think zacian V will be good next format? A bunch of Japanese lists don't run them anymore. I guess baby Gardy gets better with reversal energy.
Today I played my first IRL tournament (started playing poke a month ago online) with LZ Tina and I went 1-2-2. The 2 losses were against gardevoir ex..I feel its a hard mu cause of the single prizes
@@jamesctcg Thanks for the help! Do you use psychic embrace to put counters on some pokemon? Dont you have a problem of spreading the energy and lacking damage then?
+ if they are killing it they are already at sableye so at that point the cresselia doesn’t do much better off just attacking with an ex zacian arcana etc
Thanks to this video for advice. I use gardy deck win thailand championship senior last sunday. Thanks bro. See u in world i hope i will take some pic with u haha.
I only want to run one out of penny and the 12th psychic, only having 9 energies only really matters vs goodra so it's not that bad. 12th psychic might be better than penny though it's only of the slots I'm not decided on
@@jamesctcg seems strange but I cut 1 kirlia. A lot of the time 1 ratls became garde with candy, still have 3 kirlia to play. I saw that 2 kirlia in play are OK if 1 is prized. There's always the option of having 3 energy prized or even 1 or 2 on random pokemon to use cresselia attack in the early game. Still good list but sky stone is really game changing vs mew, eleki vmax and all vmax out there
@@platinumwaiter 3 candy 4 gardevoir. 1 kirlia prized and still 2 in the deck. I think after several tests that 3 is enough, i see a lot of lists running 3 draw kirlia and 1 setupper, so for me 3 draw kirlia are enough.

amazing and informative video! thoughts on drifloon when charm of courage comes out?

Can you update this for paldea evolved? I'd love to see another breakdown of the deck
Please!
Would love to see this for playing against Chien-Pao
great vid as usual

Great video!

What are your suggestions playing agains LostBoxKyogre and ArcDuraUmbreon?
kyogre is basically just normal lost zone. Arcduraumbreon attach to kirlias so u don't run out of ways to kill pokemon.
@@jamesctcg thanks man
Can you please tell me how to utilize Cresellia? I never really found her value and i feel like im always better off using Spiritomb
kill kirlia or comfey/sableye with it
@@jamesctcg Thanks for the help! Do you use psychic embrace to put counters on some pokemon? Dont you have a problem of spreading the energy and lacking damage then?
would u say klara/2 cress would be useful in garde seeing as LZ is so common/difficult?
You really only need the cresselia once because it’s hard to kill so I would say there are better cards to tech for the matchup
+ if they are killing it they are already at sableye so at that point the cresselia doesn’t do much better off just attacking with an ex zacian arcana etc
I see a lot of cresselia plays but how do u attack with it so early if u have no damage counters with ex gardy
Well u need gardevoir ex so do it after you get that via either candy or just turn 3

That’s great to hear!
I mean for the lugia matchup they can trade with yveltal and recycle it with thorton
Well not if you get roxanned and can’t hit urn or stadium bump but like kinda
how to deal with lunatone solrock mewtwo
Attack with your attacks and play supporters and win
Hey James, what do you think of a 1-1 split between forest and sky seal stone?
Good it’s currently what I’m running
Do you think it is better to run 2 shining arcana Gardevoirs or just 1?
ideally you would run 2 but it's hard to find space in the list
Why 11 and not 12 energies? Feels like 2 go in the prizes and you lose a lot of games
I only want to run one out of penny and the 12th psychic, only having 9 energies only really matters vs goodra so it's not that bad. 12th psychic might be better than penny though it's only of the slots I'm not decided on

@Mareusz Kwiatosz you get bodied by prizing any kirlia then, you make a good point but idk seems risky

@@Mateusz_K. yeah makes sense, I assumed it was still 2 candy 3 gardy
For Lost Zone decks, particularly the giratina one, i just slap a klefki on there and they cant do much about it while i set up
