27:00 With 2 cards in hand, they can technically summon an Articuno, retreat into it, then flip 3 heads on Misty for 80 damage, and finish it with greninja.
I LOVE the artwork itself but as a card is steals the eye in any binder and just kind of looks like a smudgy mess of colors as a thumbnail. It's also obnoxious that Alakazam isn't rainbow border as well.
My experience with the event: Kept meeting mewtwos so I decided to go arbok weezing wigglytuff. I win my 4 consecutive wins twice just to get shut down by a triple double heads rolling marowak and a turn one 9 heads misty articuno 🙂🙃 Thankfully I met Mewtwo decks consecutively for my 5 matches after and with arbok weezing, it was pretty easy
Been watching you since magic then LOR into marvel days, picking up the games around the same time you started. Makes me really happy to see your theorycrafting happy soul back in for something new. Its gonna be great once we get new cards to cook with. Looking forward to it in the future seeing you make the best decks.
i tried a lot of different decks, yours included, across a lot of games, and this machamp list was the one that finally got me the 5 wins. final game had the perfect curve into machamp which outpaced mewtwo ex
I've actually been maining this deck for a while. Love it! Only difference is I have in Kangaskhan for Hitmonlee. I might try your version since my Kang only flips tails.
I play this pretty regularly but changed hitmonlee and Giovanni for a drowzee/hypno support. No psychic energy. Completely walling your opponent with dugtrio and hypno is satisfying and hilarious when it works
@RedJackal02 Drowzee Hypno Machop x2 Machoke x2 Machamp x2 Diglett x2 Dugtrio x2 Pokeball x2 professor x2 Sabrina Giovanni Potion X speed The items and supporters can be changed for preference I kinda just roll with a bit of most of them for versatility.
Mogwai, I've been hooked with your content! I've been enjoying this Venusaur GX build and I hope you get a chance to try it out! Thanks for the back to back content! 2x Caterpie, 1x Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur GX, 1x Aerodactyl, 2x Potion, X Speed, Pokeball, Old Amber, Prof Research, Erika, Sabrina. It's been running so well, and so consistent getting Venu online since Caterpie is the only way to grab evolution pieces!
Your videos are now a daily routine for me, I can't wait for the new set! Can you make a Zapdoes, Garninja and Sebsriker deck, I've experimented and it works but can't make it balanced enough yet, even with just electric energy
My first 5 games in the event I got my emblem with a machamp deck and a charizard deck. Machamp has been my favorite Pokémon since the 90s. I played him on pokken tournament also
I dont think you were facing players with the new badge because of hidden mmr, most likely the players without the badge were playing in the new badge gamemode
I would love to see in the new boosters Pokemons that works even better with dugtrio and allows you to punish if you get Sabrina when dig succeed. Something like Polywrath's counter attack that deals 20 dmg when getting hitted but stronger and more playable.
Off topic of this deck, but i wish greninja did alittle more damage. I get that it has its ability to make up for it somewhat, but i think its alittle ridiculous that a stage 1 EX water pokemon (starmie) has a 2 energy attack that deals 90 damage, but greninja a stage 2 water pokemon has a 2 energy attack that deals only 60, even paired with the ability greninja does less damage and requires more to setup than starmie. It should be atleast 70 damage. Edit: also failed to mention that starmie even has more hp for some reason? Yes its an EX but i feel like they should atleast be similar with health. I really enjoy using greninja but it constantly feels like an uphill battle
@MyBTS91 yeah, but 30 hp against rapidash for example is a great deal for 50% chance of attack invincibility if you ask me... Like, they have saved me so many times by themselves, but fair point
I unfortunately only have 1 Machamp EX but he's one of my favorite pokemon. I call my deck Maro-Champ. I run machoke and evos and cubone line. Great deck. I used it to get my 5 wins ina row
I got 5 wins in a row in the first hour of the event with Machamp EX + Marowak EX deck. It's criminally underrated. The only really tough matchup is Charizard since it one shots everything and you can't one shot it back.
So happy you found a new game. I'm not about to download or play this one like I joined Runeterra after you introduced me to it, but I do love watching you play it. The smaller decks make deck techs a lot more palatable too, so you get to show off your brewing skills while keeping my lack of attention span manageable. Absolutely perfect.
Make a deck around Golem! Try him with the Meowth, Persian, and Kang shell that’s been going around. I think he’s super underrated and a lot of fun once he gets going!
I don't know how you could tame advantage of this, but you could run a non-fighting deck with Golem and use Brock. He only needs one fighting energy... Could be a really spicy brew there somewhere
My experience with the event: Kept meeting mewtwos so I decided to go arbok weezing wigglytuff. I win my 4 consecutive wins twice just to get shut down by a triple double heads rolling marowak and a turn one 9 heads misty articuno 🙂🙃
What is he saying at 1:11 "have a * day" what is the word before day? I don't know what kind of day I should be having cause I don''t now what he's saying.
"MMR" might be a bit too much for what I think it is. I think it is just event tiering. For the last event, you would only fight opponents of the same bracket level as you (bronze v bronze, gold v gold). For this one it seems they put the ones with a 5 win streak completed in a pool with the other players past 5 win streaks.
The thing is... Machad, despite being really strong, is a stage 2 that gets one shotted by Psydrive + Giovanni... and Mewtwo ex is the most used deck at the moment because it's the most consistent deck currently in the game.
that is, in fact, not true, that spot goes to pikachu, with more than double the playrate and not needing evolutions to work, it can setup in 2 turns and can juggle bewtween ex pokemon with its low retreat cost, making it more consistent
It’s a good mon to pivot into just like normal games, you don’t lead off with machamp and try to get damage cus damn near everything kills it but if u swap it in on something that doesn’t hurt it much that opens up a no guard hit from wtv that moves is called that has 50% acc
I believe for mmr it looks at your total wins. I only cracked 100 wins with this event and almost all my opponentd had around 100 wins. 1 or 2 out of 10 matches were about 200 wins, never more
I can't stand Mewtwo players. They rope every fucking time i beat them. What a cesspool. Good on you for keeping that game in the video just for me 😂. That game made me so happy.
Yeah idk, I think the event was really easy, that's why you're facing so many people with the emblem. I played 9 matches until I was done with the 5 win streak and the event was finished
I need more testing as I don't have 2 Machamp EX. Regular Machamp is good in some situations and I also want to test 2Ex and a regular one for flexibility.
You can not escape from making a Mew deck forever Mogwai
You cannot change perfection... is what I would say if people didn't exclude hypno from the deck

Stop. This comment is nightmare inducing 🤢
Yugioh player spotted
I can't stop laughing at yesterday's video with the coin flip deck and that ending 😅😂
Full art Machamp is so fucking cool dude god damn
Check out the matching Alakazam Full Art! Its a fight Scene
I LOVE the artwork itself but as a card is steals the eye in any binder and just kind of looks like a smudgy mess of colors as a thumbnail. It's also obnoxious that Alakazam isn't rainbow border as well.
Mogwai, I'm enjoying your daily videos! Thanks for making me laugh and showing fun decks.
Dang, I remember watching you during the Gwent days. Here we are again, but with Pokemon TCG pocket. Nice to see that you're see doing well.
The only people queuing up random matches are the people who have already finished the event. Thats why you keep seeing the emblem.
Yep i reckon this explains it without the need for any hidden mmr
My experience with the event:
Kept meeting mewtwos so I decided to go arbok weezing wigglytuff. I win my 4 consecutive wins twice just to get shut down by a triple double heads rolling marowak and a turn one 9 heads misty articuno 🙂🙃

This is by far my favorite deck I've ever tried. Thank you Mogwai, Machamp is a beast.

Thank you for that arbok, weezing, wiggly deck. Helped me get my win after having to deal with some horrible games against misty
Machamp was what got me the 5 win streak emblem due to the vast majority of Pika users
My boy machamp, best ramp in the game. Almost got the same deck except for the hitmonlee
I play this pretty regularly but changed hitmonlee and Giovanni for a drowzee/hypno support. No psychic energy.
Completely walling your opponent with dugtrio and hypno is satisfying and hilarious when it works
Do you have a deck list I could look at
@RedJackal02
Drowzee
Hypno
Machop x2
Machoke x2
Machamp x2
Diglett x2
Dugtrio x2
Pokeball x2
professor x2
Sabrina
Giovanni
Potion
X speed
The items and supporters can be changed for preference I kinda just roll with a bit of most of them for versatility.

Interesting. When does aerodactyl comes into play?
@@zacp9585 Aero is only there as a backup to get rid of potential threats if your setup is slow.

respect for not overextending when you have game
I was playing this at the start of the event. But had no luck, now I did watch Mogwai's video and it inspired me lol
5 win streak completed!
I agree with the hidden mmr, I usually just concede asap on battles lol but recently I’ve run into other people doing the same
My first 5 games in the event I got my emblem with a machamp deck and a charizard deck. Machamp has been my favorite Pokémon since the 90s. I played him on pokken tournament also
god i hope they rework misty and water types become fun again
I dont think you were facing players with the new badge because of hidden mmr, most likely the players without the badge were playing in the new badge gamemode
I am playing a lot Machamp and Onix. I am not know if it is the best deck, but it is really fun for me to play it. I definitely will try this. Thanks!
Machamp ex is my favorite card in pocket, so simple and straightforward and that full art is the best in the game right now.
I would love to see in the new boosters Pokemons that works even better with dugtrio and allows you to punish if you get Sabrina when dig succeed. Something like Polywrath's counter attack that deals 20 dmg when getting hitted but stronger and more playable.
Um actually, Machop is punching the other Pokemon on the knuckles.
Off topic of this deck, but i wish greninja did alittle more damage.

I really enjoy using greninja but it constantly feels like an uphill battle
I’ve been doing Machamp / Onix deck and it works surprisingly well
Dugtrio is so strong, as a pokemon that deals 40 damage for one energy as a first stage evolution having the dig effect is insane
Yes but only 70 HP as a price
@MyBTS91 yeah, but 30 hp against rapidash for example is a great deal for 50% chance of attack invincibility if you ask me... Like, they have saved me so many times by themselves, but fair point
@@matius479 Yea its true I just like Baby Marowak more. I know my luck so to say
I ended up getting my 5 win streak from the event with this deck. Gotta give a shout out for recommending this❤
Almost got the 5 consecutive wins twice with this deck. Misty killed me both of my last matches!
I unfortunately only have 1 Machamp EX but he's one of my favorite pokemon. I call my deck Maro-Champ. I run machoke and evos and cubone line. Great deck. I used it to get my 5 wins ina row
I'm a big Machamp Sandslash guy. Ill try it with Dugtrio for sure.
Not having the chat blow him laughing menacingly over every bad luck he gets definitely takes away from the experience 😔
I got 5 wins in a row in the first hour of the event with Machamp EX + Marowak EX deck. It's criminally underrated. The only really tough matchup is Charizard since it one shots everything and you can't one shot it back.
try greeninja, hitmonlee + one more pokemon (maybe kabutops? articuno (bleah)grapploct seems nice). double energy of course
So happy you found a new game.
I'm not about to download or play this one like I joined Runeterra after you introduced me to it, but I do love watching you play it.

Crazy thing is he also survives Alakazam , well not if they use a giovani but that boy beefy.
Should not Dugtrio be immune to all damage including the greninja ability when it has the shield up? 26:51
No
You are The "Shroud" of Pokemon TCG Pocket!
And yet I cannot pull a single one, while my 4 stupid alt art alakazams sit in purgatory.
I just completed Machamp EX from wonder pick, so this a deck i can use let's gooooooo!
My experience with the event:
Kept meeting mewtwos so I decided to go arbok weezing wigglytuff. I win my 4 consecutive wins twice just to get shut down by a triple double heads rolling marowak and a turn one 9 heads misty articuno 🙂🙃
You know who else is underrated. Persian, now make a Persian deck.
Man, dugtrio is pretty good, like a budget Exeggutor ex
Thanks to your deck of arbok and wheezing, I have the 5 wins in the first attempt 😁 thanks brother
Day 2 of enjoying the games in a row, what a blissful renaissance
What renaissance
I was the onix kabu deck haha
Teach me how to duggie teach me teach me how to duggie
I always used Marowack non-ex, but statistically the trio should be more resilient I think. Not sure; machamp is a Giga chad though
Hear me out the self damage primeate midrange
Do an Aerodactyl deck next!
I love this deck so much. Dugtrio is God
that rage quit lol
What is he saying at 1:11 "have a * day" what is the word before day? I don't know what kind of day I should be having cause I don''t now what he's saying.
I think he's saying "swole"
Sol
@grassisamyth thank you so much!
I thought he was saying swell
this deck did a better job getting me the gold medal compared to the one you made for the event. It's way more consistent.
is better use kangaskan or dugtrio to buy time for machamp?
Been running the one with baby marowak you did a month ago. Do you like this version better?
I got the emblem using your ciccino deck, 2 of my wins being against that yellow rat
Best art in the game and I cannot draw it to save my life. Got my friend to download the game and she got it in her first 10 packs

I have been maining a machamp kabutops deck for weeks and it has a good win rate.
Tyler, can you try my Onix/Ninja deck?
2x Onix
2x Dugtrio Line
2x Greninja Line
2x X-Speed
2x Poke Ball
2x Professor's Research
2x Brock
I've been running a very similar list but I'm using baby Marowak instead of Dugtrio, coin flips are not my friend
Once I got the 5 win streak, I just gave up at the beginning of the matches... Everyone was doing that so everyone could get it.
Would love to see Sandslash in a deck
I got 5 win streak using machamp x onix deck, was surprise how the deck smashed everyone's deck
I use the machamp EX line with prime ape and 1 kangaskan
I believe for mmr it looks at your total wins. I only cracked 100 wins with this event and almost all my opponentd had around 100 wins. 1 or 2 out of 10 matches were about 200 wins, never more

Good on you for keeping that game in the video just for me 😂. That game made me so happy.
How does greninja ability affect dugtrio when he hit heads!?
It hits dugdrio. Only blocks attacks
finally no chat war
Yeah idk, I think the event was really easy, that's why you're facing so many people with the emblem. I played 9 matches until I was done with the 5 win streak and the event was finished
