Terapagos > Crispin Terapagos can instantly charge any benched Tera Pokémon sitting on your bench in 1 go. Crispin can be used on T1 if you're going 2nd, but then you have to wait another turn to attack and your Tera Pokémon can potentially be OHKO'd unless it's Pikachu ex. However, Terapagos may be OHKO'd, but then you have a Tera Pokémon on your bench that's fully charged while Terapago only gives up 1 prize card, a Tera Pokémon ex gives up 2. I have a strong Pickachu ex/Magneton/Terapagos deck. I run 0 Crispin in it because he's not needed.
If you are wondering if a card is getting rotated or not: All V, VSTAR and yellow border cards will be rotated, all grey border cards, ex and tera ex cards will remain, as well as all ace spec cards.
My buddy and I was talking about this at locals last night and only thing we were worried about is wall cards like mimikyu and cornerstone since we lose cologne. Yeah we still have mew ex to help but I feel we need a lot more to help with wall cards than that. A guy at my locals plays flygon ex with mimikyu and cornerstone so it can be incredibly frustrating to deal with. Keep up the great content Zapdostcg.
@@letterkeys4440usually you just tech for your local meta. Like if there is a strong staller or multiple stall players, other players should play higher switch and cologne counts in their decks, etc.
@@letterkeys4440 We just test in person. I mean we would prefer to avoid stall guys but of course you can't always do that lol. I hope they release cards to help against wall type pokemon cause losing cologne is gonna suck come March.
@@negu7505 That's a good idea. Zard has dusknoir line to help get around mimikyu plus you can use heat tackle charmelon that hits for 70 for 2 fire energy. As for cornerstone I'm thinking about putting in a victini ex since it can hit for 220 and get around cornerstone's ability.
I just started playing regidrago last month. I'll miss it but thankfully my local switches between standard and extended format every other week. Curious to see what people do with Miraidon and Gardivoir. Love both the decks and I think I see a way, but you never know who's gonna cook up something great.
It’s my first week playing the TCG. Created a post rotation deck based of Charizard EX and Terrapagos EX. Made it to Arceus League with it in my first week ever.
3:51 If you use grand tree to evolve zard infernal reign doesnt activate as it must be evolved from your hand. Could help with Pidgeir/Dusknoir but maybe not that useful as an ace spec. Just something to note
Coming from Yugioh I’m actually okay with rotation. Because when new decks come out they’ll for sure be playable for at least 2 years. Even regidrago I’ve been playing since august and that’s the longest I could play a meta deck. In Yugioh you’d be lucky if meta decks last that long.
I was having a lot of fun with the gholdengo/togekiss build at locals- sad to see it losing some key cards. Would swapping Irida with Arven/Rigid band or TM Evo be any good?
Cancelling cologne gone it’s a big plus for iron thorns, cornerstone ogerpon and mimikyu. Also Raging bolt losses trekking shoes so it’s gonna be tricky to play it with the amounts of draw it needs.
Everyone is looking at their meta decks and i just care about my blastoise 🥰 i hope we get in the new Sets a way to make extra attach for turn for water, like a water Patch or something 🫠 And no baxcalibur is a way to bricky for every deck exept chien pao.
As someone who is starting, what would be a good deck that’s pretty rotational proof? I have the Charizard league deck but I’m also looking at Mirriadon and Gard
The zard/Terapagos build looks pretty rotation proof. You’re only losing Double Turbo, Radiant Zard, and Thorton. None of which are strictly a must have tbh. Well Manaphy too, but that’s such a waste of space imo. Anyone you want to protect your bench from likely has the counter for it right now anyway
I think crispin will be really good after rotation
🔥👌

A jet energy counter gain build of terapagos dusknoir could become a thing
Im doing some expiriments on decklist for decks in the next rotation and I made a cool Zard one and a Updated Miraidon ex deck
any news on if they will hold expanded format events again?
Probably not anytime in the near future.
At least some events host an official GLC event. It's a different form of expanded. I love the format
needed this video lol this rotation is huge
No problem, Glad it's helpful ✌️
Doesnt miraidon use tapu koko as a new attacker as it has the same attack as raikou v? Loses the ability but has base free retreat
