I really enjoy playing the pokemon tcg nothing is better then a good pokemon card pack opening if the pokemon cards are worth money its even better. getting into a pokemon card battle is also fun. Of course playing the pokemon tcg is my forte! like how to build a pokemon deck and playing the pokemon tcg online is how I spend most of my evenings. Pokemon tcg tournament are also great and if you even need any help on how to play the pokemon tcg then let me know! Dont forget you can also open pokemon tcg pack online too! Ive never got to open packs with leonhart or randolph but hopefully will soon! Not pokemon vgc pokemon vgc online or pokemon tcg world championships. Building pokemon decks is very fun! watching other deck profiles and deck lists is very helpful - Ігри
Ok so it has brought to my attention that my Ledian maths was bad 👀😂 but cut me a little bit of slack now come on 😉
It will never stop being funny to me that "Draw 2" cards are so awful in the Pokemon TCG when they're considered horrifyingly powerful in many other card games.
To be fair it was, in fact, ridiculously powerful when it wasn't tied to a one per turn resource.
Long gone is the era of four mandatory Bill per deck.
pot of greed being banned for so many years in yugioh, and then cards like profs research and iono are not considered gamebreaking is crazy. 1 card in hand? now ive got 7.
@LuckyyBrawl could you imagine discard ur hand amd draw seven on yugioh? How fast would the game fall apart?👀😂
@@Heriarka Indeed. Bill as an item card would likely be ridiculous even today. Supporters being a shared once-per-turn (so carrying a hefty opportunity cost) is a significant drawback.
Imagine if Pot of Greed would lock you out of any other spell cards that turn.
Man it's wild as somebody who hasn't played since Potions healed 20 hp seeing stuff like "This attack only does 130 damage, what a fuckin waste of cardboard."
That hp powercreep be crazy though 😂
130 damage would oneshot my entire binder 😂
Haha that is funny 🤣
All of these would have broken the og format if a time traveler pulled up.
I think the new Shauntel from paradox rift belongs on this list. It’s a supporter with 50% for a boss 50% for a switch and you can’t even choose😭😭
Omg that probably would of made it if paradox rift was taken into account 🤣😭
At least the art is good… but yeah, damn
The card text doesn't say your opponent chooses the new pokemon so you do get to choose
@@superdragn2382 it’s a coin flip
@@superdragn2382 I think they mean you don't choose if it's boss or switch as I think it's based on a coin flip
As someone that played the TCG quite a lot back in the day but stopped before Gen3 pokemon were added, it's wild to hear statements like "80 damage is horrendous" and "200 damage doesn't KO anything". Power creep is a hell of a drug.
Absolute wild for sure!
I think the sheer fact that 250 damage in one turn isn’t nearly enough to be viable just shows how ridiculous the power creep is
The card series needs a reboot
I think its a problem across many tcgs too right? 👀😭
It's getting a little better, since the next block will be rotating the last major relevant 3 Prize Pokemon who were responsible for the ridiculous HP Creep in the first place during the Tag Team years.
Hopefully stuff starts to stabilize once Mew VMAX + his ilk are shown the door around April.
Geez I just saw a new "Great Tusk ex" that only has one move with 4 energy costs and only does 260 damage.
What's worse is that Great Tusk ex has an ability that forces you to discard 5 cards from your deck if it's your active Pokemon when you end your turn.
...What were they thinking?
That card is REALLY something eh! Definitely would of made this list 🤣😭
is that EX card a runaway Lightsworn from Yugioh? XD
I actually have that card in my garchomp ex deck
It says a lot about the power creep in the game when that Hawlucha is fundamentally identical to Hitmonchan, yet the passage of time makes one OP and one trash
Yeah making this video made me realise how crwzy the power creep is :p
@@BurtsPTCG man, I grew up in the days of 120 being a great HP value. Now that’s laughable.
These videos are so well done, keep it up!
Thank you so much Kurtis! I enjoy making them so much! So im overjoyed they are received well :)
you’re such an underrated creator! love your videos
Thank you so much! Appreciate your support my friend! 🙌
Such a great video, so glad I found your channel. I love this kind of content about TCGs & these are easily some of the highest quality & most enjoyable videos I have ever seen, absolutely loving going through your older videos now, so had to give credit to the video that helped me find you!
Oh wow thank you so much! 😭 Needed a little pick me up today so i appreciate your feedback so much 🙌 I have a feeling you will like my next upload so keep an eye out for it 🙌
@@BurtsPTCG so glad you appreciate it
Great job on the video! Always is creative and well put together.
Thank you so much! Appreciate your support so much :)
Also the call out of that Primeape + a rare 😳
Just adding as watching, funny thing is I got back into the TCG when xy evolutions was printed. When I first got back into the game and played ptcgo a nidoking deck was the best I could build for a bit, and yeah good memories with actually doing well with it considering being new and the ELO 😂
Oh wow no way! U actually used thr Nidoking!? You my friend are an absolute WARRIOR!
I think you jumped the gun on Ryme. That card really isn’t so bad, specifically in Gholdengo. It’s not a good card, but it’s not the worst thing ever, certainly not worse than some of the cards printed later in the era (Love Ball, Picnicker, Shauntal, Paldean Student, Bianca’s Devotion, Boomerang Energy, Raifort, Community Center, Cook, and Caretaker are all worse trainers/energies imo). Also disagree with the worst card being Riley (though it is still complete garbage), and a bunch of other nitpicks which don’t matter either way since this is all speculation and this isn’t my list lol. This video is cool and I respect your opinion
You're killing it with the content lately mate
Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙌🙏
It's somewhat comforting to know that even Creatures hate Sordward and Shielbert.
Haha this is very true🤣😭
Eh, Shielbert's design isn't that bad, his name is stupid though.
Sordword is straight up "what the hell were they thinking?!" territory. Dude looks like a walking penis and his name is just abysmal.
at this point man i'm just waiting for you to blow up
these videos are great both to listen to and to watch
Aha! Aww thank you so much! I like making them so im glad its received well 🙌
This was great, even though it reminded me of some of the worst pulls I ever had 😂
I would have put Mega Steelix on here, a card that should have been fun, being both fighting and metal, but required 5 energies for 160 damage, even if you got one into play, it was near impossible getting a second ready. I tried so hard getting it to work, but it was just really, really bad.
Mega steelix was SO close to making the list! Its dual typing saved it though cause it could hit gardes for weakness 😂
Great Video, had a lot of fun! Although i almost didn't catch that i was a new video haha
Glad you liked it! 🙌
Its a good day when burt uploads!!
Haha! Well hopefully today is a good day then! 🤣🙌
the case of Arcanine is worst because even Growlithe, its previous stage, deals 40 damage for one energy less XD
Omg yeah 🤣😭
Riley is even more hilarious considering that Colress’s Experiment, which essentially does the same thing but gives you the choice, was released in the same set lol
Aha! Never even thought about that 😂
The 25th Anniversary Kyogre also won World Championship 2024 in Junior Division, that is such a great game.
Oh yeah! Aqua storm is goated! 🙌
Would have expected sleep anywhere on the list for its 75% chance to do nothing
Slacking is just a worse version of snorlax imo, since its a stage 2 compared to a basic for 60 more damage, but running therapeutic energy turned it into a monster because that energy card prevents slaking and snorlax from being able to be put to sleep, so it's definitely not bad. Id just rather run thumping snore snorlax sonce it was a basic for three energy and you could add charm, giving it 200.
It is yeah but when snorlax exists its a hard sell 🤣😭
I'm surprised Radiant Steelix didn't make an appearance on the list
That's a pretty much guaranteed tbf! 👀🤣
This was really great enjoyable! I have to strongly disagree with #2 solely on the basis of the artwork! It’s really goofy and bold, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki is my first or second favorite illustrator. Yeah the text stinks! Also super impressive you remembered what the character in #1 did from your childhood, lol! Fun video!
Haha the artwork is fun I can't argue :p i played gen 4 so much its hard not to remember :p appreciate your support my friend! 🙌
Fossil Geodude should have topped this list. You know how Thought Wave Machine and what's-her-name's Impulse saying "flip a coin until you got tails" meant they had a 50% chance of doing nothing?
Geodude had that as a 2 energy attack. And the payoff was a pathetic 10 damage per heads. This is at a time when 2 energy attacks on a basic, evolvable mon were averaging at 30 damage. The odds of hitting that number were a measly 12.5%. Note: this was its ONLY attack.
And, yes, it could at least evolve into something... But those were awful too!
At least Riley draws you three cards.
Geodude was probably the worst card put out when the game was in its infancy, and 'mons have only gotten stronger since then (trainers have sorta bounced around and mostly gotten weaker)
Pangoro was a recurring joke in my family. It's not only that bad, but EVERY Pangoro card is that bad.
Yeah Pangoro has been done DIRTY 😭
Haven't gone through all 50 but is Paradise Resort on here? That one should be on the list since it was made to suck as badly as possible replacing the previous world championship promo card of Champion's Festival which became a competitive option which is not a good thing for a card with a set very limited production run.
I guess in hindsight I could off added it but it probably falls into the same camp as Imakuni where since it was deliberately made bad it takes the fun away from the other cards 🤣
Great tusk isn’t bad , just use choice band to hit 280
Gutsy pickace also accelerates fighting energy
Even if you find a choice band you get one Shot immediately back and you definitely aren't getting another great tusk out next turn 🤣
problem is the VSTARs you really want to kill are Arceus and Lugia, Arceus is already weak to fighting and Lugia resists it
Oh yeah lugia resist is horrible😭
@@BurtsPTCGfantastic*
It’s not great but I don’t think it’s up there with swordward and shieldbert I also have seen it used as a one off fighting decks
geeze, the tcg has really changed. Mostly played back in base through Neo Genesis, when this one started falling out of the game. Guess it's like trying to compare early yugioh to modern yugioh though
Yeah i think the unfortunate truth is all tcgs over such time frames go through similar transformations! 😭
As a Ledian fan, the fact that all his cards are usually bulk is quite sad
I actually like Ledian a lot too! We need some respect on its name!
I’m sure this isn’t going to include cards like the un-evolving Pokémon that deal 10 damage, so I’m interested in what this will be!
If Molayne isn’t on this list, I’ll be very disappointed.
Well it doesn't so happy days!... But about that 👀
lush to see your chaneeel popping off!
Wouldn't go that far :p (don't jynx it 😉) just nice to see the longer form content getting received well I guess! 🙌
well... its looking spicey! got some to catch up on! been mad on the paradox rift banter and desperately trying to throw pokemon cards at my oponnent using make it rain :P
@@BurtsPTCG
I think it'd be good if you kept the card's ability as text on the screen during that cards section, I kept having to rewind to hear you say it again.
Ahhhh ready to tuck into this whilst testing my new PAR decks !!!!!
Haha! As ik typing this im cutting some proxys 🤣
@@BurtsPTCG ahahaha 😂😂 I’m running the budget venomoth deck you posted on tcgplayer infinite with some adjustments, can’t wait for counter catcher to be legal in two weeks it needs it 🙌
@kitsaitogames aww yeah counter for that deck is HUGE!
@@BurtsPTCGexciting times 🙌 love the persona music too 👏
@kitsaitogames ayo! Glad you liked it! 🙌
Was expecting Base Set Gastly at the top spot due to it's infamous status as a terrible card, but I can see the arguments for the others up there. As for Slaking, I feel like the reason it was designed that way is it's because it was supposed to be combined in a Deck with Therapeutic Wigglytuff to nullify it's starus, but yeah outside of that limited branch it is kinda bad.
a burts order give away at next regionals? one my earlyest memories from you was a regional before 2019 might of even been london internats and you was dishing out some funny alter cards
That's funny cause as im typing this im cutting up some new Burts Orders 🤣 will try keep some with me to all the regionals i go too 🤣🙌
Great video Burts 👍
Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙌🙏
Okay so big numbers are a bad idea in this game too. Gotcha.
What game do you play? 👀
This was a fun video to watch. I was up scratching my head at some thinking, "Why are they bad?".
This is coming from someone who hasn't played TCG pokemon since 2007 and im not looking at these cards from purely a meta standpoint.
A number of these cards are indeed bad, but I think close to half falls into a mediocre and outclassed category because there's something better even for casual play.
Appreciate your support! 🙌🙏 But the second half of your comment has confused me a little bit 🤣
I think the ones demi drew in his finals match could maybe make the list 😅😅
HA! This made ms chuckle can't lie 😭
Bedrock Breaker? More like Plywood Denter
Exactly 🤣😭
Rhyme is actually getting a lot of play in Japan right now
I just builded a deck using slaking, aroma lady and full heal. It's kinda fun.
I shuttered at the thought!....although it's funny how that all works together 🤣
Damn, the worst card in pokemon would literally be the best card in Yugioh. Imagine a draw 5 where the only draw back is the opponent gets to know how fucked they are. Would be banned before it ever saw play.
Even if your opponent picked?👀 Funny how different games can be eh!
@BurtsPTCG painful choice basically picks 5 from your deck of your choice and your opponent chooses one card from that five and discards the rest. Basically a slightly different process but highlights that your opponent knowing anything about your deck or tossing it into your graveyard is not a big deal or even a downside
@reicherwallace6774 well learn something new every day! 🙌
@BurtsPTCG Yeah, the thing about Yu-gi-oh is that the graveyard in most decks is just a second hand. So even if the card tossed all 5 into the graveyard it'd still probably be overpowered.
@reicherwallace6774 yeah that would definitely lead to some crazy cards 🤣
I use great tusk in my mill deck. Basically just to absorb damage
Have you seen the great tusk in shiny treasure ex? Its gonna be even worse than this one...
Haha yeah i saw it yesterday! Definitely would of made this list! The attack cost amd damage are so bad 😭 as well as that abilty 😭
Great tusk being ok now in the meta shows don’t judge a card by it’s set
The expection not the rule 🤣
One thing to Note with Ledian; it's only 6.25% of the time you do 0 damage. But more than a third of the time you get 2 heads, which means 80 damage... for 3 energy... which is still very much trash!
Thank you for correcting my awful maths 😂😂
God, the stat creep on Pokemon cards is disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting
Unown vstar did strike me as extremely win more in shadow caly.
3rd Strike music let's goo.
3rd strike music is goated 👌
Slaking saw play in Lugia decks though because therapeutic energy prevents it from sleeping
Im judging these cards on there immediate launch for the most so therapeutic energy is a non factor unfortunately! Surely not😂Why would you ever play it when snorlax exists 😂
@BurtsPTCG oh whoops I was thinking of Slaking V. Therapeutic came out same set tho.
@radaf4429 oh snap i thought Slaking was brs for some reason 😂 should still just use snorlax tho 👀
If that untamed gyradoes was in yugioh, Tearlament players would love it.
Oh really? 👀 So if a card that when you summoned it sent the top 5 cards of your deck to the grave with no other effect, would that be good/be played?👀
@BurtsPTCG Tearlament is an archtype that gets a lot of their effects if their monsters are sent from deck to grave. They do a lot of milling to achieve it. In fact, several cards that mill 3-5 cards are limited or banned because of this deck. It was even called "Tear 0" at 1 point because it dominated the game at its peak. 😅
One (banned) mill example is "Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon" which on summon reveals 5 top cards in deck, add 1 specific monster, then send the other 4 cards to grave (discard pile). It basically benefits as a searcher and triggers the Tearlament monsters as they go to grave (discard). "Agido the Ancient Sentinel) is probably an example closer to gyradoes, but it has to be sent from hand or deck to grave to mill 5.
Tearlaments themselves cause Fusion summons using/ shuffling materials from grave back to deck whenever a Tearlament is sent to gy through milling so its essentially recycling and lowering the odds of deck out while getting a beefy boss monster.
Gyradoes would probably find some form of play. Being water helps too. 😅
Hope this explanation helps.
Aha i see! I have a very limited knowledge of yugioh (mostly 02-05) so always like to learn about the new meta stuff too :p your explanation was perfect! I understood just fine 🙌
@BurtsPTCG Glad that helps! Sorry if it was lengthy. A month or so ago, the hot topic in yugioh was new player experience and long card text.
Tearlament was also used as an example of how complicated the game is just because there is a meme where there are like 80 cards on the table because of how often they mill and how many effects being triggered.
Just imagine gyradoes in that pile. 😅
@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 aha nah i love the detail don't worry! Gyarados would definitely be great in that kinda deck by the sounds of it! :p
I'm definitely more of a pokemon fan than a yu-gi-oh fan, but I know more about YGO TCG meta, so I did a spit take at 7:03. You mean that's not a BANNABLE CARD? How something as integral as draw power can have such different levels of value/brokenness in different TCGs is interesting.
Haha pokemon draw power is insane! We has cards that let you draw 7 at a time 😂😭
@@BurtsPTCG That's the Pot of Pride that causes any yugioh player who uses it to be immediately ejected from heaven. Though as the replies to a similar comment to mine got into, pokemon's draw cards would either be gamebreaking or near useless depending on whether "supporter" was translated over as "bars you from all other cards of this type for this turn" and how specific that was...a lot of them are "effect monsters" (pokemon) so that wouldn't stop most of them.
Aha pot of heaven 🤣 that cracked me up! And yeah that's a fair point they would probably get nerfed otherwise would be too crazy 😭
i wouldn’t say riley can NEVER benefit you. it was ruled that if your opponent has dew guard milotic in play, it prevents your opponent from being able to choose the cards off riley so all five cards go directly into your hand :p
I actually know that ruling! But thats a lot of stuff that needs to go your way 😂🤣
dang gyradose is my favorite pokemon but those two cards are really dissapointing
Yeah gyarados has got done dirty 😭😭
2:05 But hey this girl look quite hot for some people I guess
2:50 Or in the current case, Prime Catcher it is.
3:23 Unless what you pick up is so stupid that no one would believe that you even used it in play (Yes I ‘m talking bout you Ryme)
4:45 To give a reason for such a hot girl to exist?
7:04 The reason for it to exist: Your mom. She’s your mom.
7:27 Not only has a better effect but also a better card art (Sorry mom, but Cynthia is a gorgeous)
32:43 First thing first, why you have to make them John Cena?
37:06 Like… like what???
I would argue that every card from gen 1 sets are way worse that’s all these due to constant power creeping
I only took a cards power level into account from there relevant standard formats for this list :) but if you wasn't then yes gen 1 cards would always be worse😭
That Primape is a good turn 3 cheese in a gym leader challenge format.
Aha is it really? 👀🤣 Thought fighting is pretty bad in glc though right? 😭
@@BurtsPTCG it's a small chance of happening. But a mankey with 1 energy on turn 1, then primape 2 energy on turn 2 for a knockout. Lol.
Man, no FST Luxray? 90 for 2 on a stage 2...and that's it, no other attacks or abilities
Thata pretty bad can't lie 😂
gotta disagree on Bill. Originally he was a 4 of in every deck because he was just a TRAINER, because the item/supporter split hadn't been made yet. Could play 4 in one turn if you wanted. The only reason he was printed as a supporter was because of the unlimited format. If a card gets reprinted as a supporter there you had to treat it as such, otherwise ti was treated as an item. This was effectively a nerf to it in specifically that format
I placed bill from hgss on this list not base set bill. And i only took there effect on standard for this list. And hgss bill had zero effect on the standard format
Flipping 4 tails is not a 25% chance lol
Yeah had a few people point that out now 😭😂
It’s kinda scary how many of these cards I’ve tried using over the years
Haha no way 👀🤣
@@BurtsPTCG the muk, pincurchin v, and the Machamp break specifically lmao
The muk and pincuchin?! Cmon 🤣😭
@@BurtsPTCG I know 😂
Your an absolute warrior no arguments from me!
Instructions unclear, posted my list to Friendster…
Ayo! Someone pays attention to the video haha! Love to see it 🤣
Honorable mention- Cedric Juniper
I ADORE THAT CARD😂❤️
I feel you might be going a lil too harsh on melmetal Vmax mainly because sure 280 isn't enough to ko Most Vmax pokemon, the most relevant mons in the current meta are Aside Zard and Garde, 280 hp or lower Lugia Vstar, Arceas Vstar, Giratina Vstar, Dragonite & Raikou V Etc. and it fits as a 1/1 line in rougue decks running a magnezone engine
It doesn't if any of them have a v guard attached which arc amd lugia both can play👀😭
@@BurtsPTCG that is true but most arc builds only run 1, lugia varients i have to concede to you it's a dead card still, but in most matchups it is a decent metal attacker though not meta in the slightest
Slaking is not that bad compare to all the otther card Bc if you play a deck with slaking you can play around its ability with switch card or condition heal
A stage two that attacks for 3 energy that also needs a ton of switching cards to still not one Shot everything is pretty bad 🤣
Yea but it is a least useable in a fun deck most of the card before are way worst
Useable? Well if you really wanted to maybe, but fun?! 👀🤣
LONG VIDEOS ARE THE BEST
Glad you like them! 🙌🙌
I think mathematically Treecko · Emerald (EM) #70 is the worst of all time?
It's on average 5 damage for 1 energy. Even worse than pokemon that just poison on heads.
Oh wow just looked yeah that's bad 😂😭
i see u big man flexing that call of legend energy
Think its a play promo one tbf 👀😂
Replying and liking comments what a legend!
I alway try to respond to everyone! I enjoy chatting and its a good way for me to show my guatitude for all the support 🙏🙌
@@BurtsPTCGthough one more thing with Alph lithograph what if you don’t believe in the heart of the cards enough? Thats when that shuffle is useful.😂
Haha well I guess in that case 👀🤣
Im a simple man I see another Shai notification I press like
Haha I love the sound of that 🙌🤣
Most commons are so bad that they are Bulk 😂
Haha this is true! Only wanted to use rare and above to stop the list being 1 for 20 warriors 😂
Ummmm your Ledian math sucks... the chances of hitting for zero is not 25% it's actually 6.25%. It's pretty basic probability.
It definitely does can't argue 😂
Properly, Riley IS the worst card.
Glad you think so too🤣
Look at base set gastly
Only considered top evolution pokemon! That card is funny tho!
Does pokemon really have a worst card? Creatures are excellent in producing trash, I don't even know which is worse.
Oh dear
Slaking V doesn't even make the list? Bull. Also you keep saying cards names wrong a lot or say the wrong card constantly....
Slaking v has seen a TON of competitive success. Including winning a regional and getting 2nd place. limitlesstcg.com/cards/PGO/58/decklists
More fond memories‼️
There will be a few fun memories here :p
Some cards that deserved to be on the list include: Base Set Gastly, Porygon, Neo Genesis Dunsparce, Misty's Gyarados, Primal Clash Feebas, Ruby & Sapphire Scyther EX and Giovanni's Machoke
I wasn't including non fully evolved pokemon! Some good suggestions tho! 🙌
dude riley is sooooo bad haha
Imagine playing lugia with Riley and your opponent let's u keep the archeops and discard the vstars 🤣😭
Actually Imakuni? supporter is worse. Your own active pokemon is Confused. You wasted a turn on the only supporter (in a era where supporters are really strong) for the turn and Imakuni? confusion is just awful with no benefit.
I explained why i didn't have the imakuni cards higher 🤣
Isn't this the 4th time you recycled the same "most hated" cards in videos ?
Must be some thing very strange going on if you see any of the same cards in this video from any other video cause I know there definitely isn't 😂
