I tried out a deck similar to this and had some terrible consistency issues. I've made some changes that both upped the consistency and turned it into a turbo deck, and I think it's much more effective now. Some of my changes/additions: Pokemon: Squawkabilly ex. Getting setup for that first turn is super super super important with Ogerpon, and Squawk pretty much guarantees you that perfect start. Typically I'll use Squawk and Carmine/Professors research to get Wellspring mask ogerpon setup for 2 KOs on turn 2, and it annihilates any sort of evolution deck. Radiant Charizard. I do think radiant greninja has a place in the deck, but I personally found that ogerpon needs more big damage, and my answer was Radiant Charizard. Paired with Legacy energy, he's effectively a 0 prized that attacks for 250. Trainers: The biggest change I made was arguably the addition of Pokéstops. I have 3, and it makes it so so so much easier to find what I might need, whether it's an ogre's mask, a pokégear, or an earthen vessel. It just makes it so much more consistent. I use a full play set of energy switches. Keeping the energy everywhere on the board helps keep the opponent guessing, and makes it so easy to power up exactly what I need exactly when I need it. Energy: I swapped out ALL of the luminous energy for 1 of each type (fire, water, fighting). This was definitely the biggest consistency issue of the deck, as I would have to just get lucky and draw into a luminous energy. Now, I can earthen vessel exactly what I need. I will say, with my list, you do have to be very careful about decking yourself out. You really do fly through the deck.
I really like the changes you have in here! It allows the deck to become a bit more versatile and makes it more of a "risk/reward" deck (especially with PokeStop)! I'm glad you enjoy the pure turbo that your version of this archetype brings, that's incredible! :)
Awsome content, I feel like you shouldn't change your style of explaining the deck, it's very thorough which shows you understand every aspect of the game and the deck you are showcasing! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for the kind words and reassurance! That really means a lot to me as both a content creator and as a player! I'll continue to do my best to explain everything and make sure that everyone can understand how a deck works! 😁
Yeah i thought this deck is just bad until i tried it out. Its totally busted. Water ogerpon really helpful, comerstone to stall if u guarenteed opponent had no way to break through, fire ogerpon for finished off big HP mon. I play 2-3 energy loto for luminous energy. My main problem is to discard ogerpon asap, since u need both discard item + ogerpon in hand is quite difficult, Ace spec legacy energy help the most giving that extra less 1 prize, another consideration i might take the secret box to consistently discard ogerpon
I'm really glad you are having success with the deck! I do like the addition of Energy Loto for Luminous, that solves one of the decks biggest issues. Secret Box being able to discard Ogerpons and grab useful stuff at any point in the game is also very strong, I think that would be a great substitution for the ACE SPEC. Thank you so much for trying my deck out and I wish you success with it going forward! 😁🙏
Or can go for new tera orb card which put them on hand instead of bench, and play some ultra ball or vessel to discard them, so we can opt for better ace spec legacy energy
Honestly, you don't really need Bug Catching Set. Since this build of the deck requires you to discard Ogerpons and can benefit from having energies discarded to be brought back later, using Ultra Ball and Earthen Vessel are the most streamlined and beneficial for the strategy of this specific deck. Of course, you're more than welcome to see how Bug Catching Set works, I'd love to hear how it goes! That could be an interesting idea! 😁
That intro was hilarious I loved watching it
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! 😁

Could you share your decklist?

I would also like to examine this decklist.

@@pikiptcg new ace spec perfect mixer just announced, it will be perfect ace spec for this deck
Or can go for new tera orb card which put them on hand instead of bench, and play some ultra ball or vessel to discard them, so we can opt for better ace spec legacy energy

Glad you liked it! :)

18:49 PTCGL being cringe 😢
So unfortunate.
I feel like I would've actually won that game too... 🙃
