this event was fun for a day, then I got fed up more than normal with 'oh, I'm going first, so I most likely lose unless they brick'. after swapping around decks, managed to get my 5 wins with the first 5 games with possibly my favourite deck, Frogs with Mewtwo. Having Mewtwo as a closer for tough games is oh so valuable and combined with the early pressure from Greninja line and Kangaskhan made the 5 wins easy. Now onto mini set waiting room.
I won the 5-streak with my standard Mewtwo deck. I probably played 13 matches in all to get there. I found that many of my opponents had fairly poor decks so there was obviously a bunch of new players.
I managed to 5-0 with Charizard-Arcanine as well ✌That said, I'm pretty surprised that they only have this event up for one week, given that the last PvP event ran for several. It makes the whole thing feel more stressful.
Trying off meta decks is really fun and even more satisfying to win. Ive been playing a Persian, Aerodactyl, Marowak deck. It's so evil that i get no 'thanks' from playing it almost all the time. Especially when stage 2 cards get discarded by Persian.
An idea for any to try I’ve been enjoying. 2 mawile, 2 meowth, 2 persian, 2 jigglypuff the sing version, 2 wigglytuff ex, 2 potion, 1 x speed, 2 pokeball, 2 red card, 2 prof research, 1 Sabrina. The idea is to just enjoy the disruption caused when bored of your meta decks.
Personally I would love it if the new mini set released a bunch of evolutions such as scizor, steelix, magmortar, electivire, tangrowth, kingdra, crobat, the rest of the porygons, and the rest of the eveeloutions. Maybe they can also add some baby pokemon that you can play too before the basic pokemon we already have like pichu. But most importantly I would love to have evolutions for the pokeomon that are kind of forgotten and would get a lot more play if they did.
I've been playing since mid October. the reliance on random luck that so many cards have pushed the entire meta towards Pikachu/Mewtwo. the meta felt solved day one and while there were a lot of fun Pokemon to explore strategies with, none of them felt viable next to pikachu & mewtwo. overall this felt like a pretty boring set and i hope the next one can offer more viable deck options.
The first thing I did after getting the 5-win streak in the event with my Mewtwo deck is to use the new emblem and play 10 games. I'd then lose on purpose. I didn't concede tho. I drop both Mewtwo ex in the field, then every turn I'd just immediately end my turn. I wish everyone the best of luck!
i finished this in my 1st try 5 straight wins in my main acct, i used articuno + greninj, on my 2nd acct i finished it in my 10th games using pikachu /zap and mewtwo deck everygame i swap them, on my 3rd acct i stop at my 3rd win its late here in country i need to sleep im using pikachu and mewtwo deck also,
I wouldnt say you had it all figured out in soft launch..you guys thought Arcanine and Wigglytuff were F tier, and that has been proven far from true. Also, playing baby Mewtwo was figured out after global launch.
The reddit seethe about not being able to win 5 games in a row is absolutely hilarious. "iTs AlL rNg GuYs!!!1!!" is rather reductive and dismisses what skill expression is actually present in the game. Skill ceiling is going to go up with every new set released, and even as low as it is now there are still LOADS of people who don't even come close to it lmao Edit: I'm not convinced that the mini set is out on the 16th, but I'd be happy to be wrong
Welcome to competitive in Pokemon games, where you choose if you go for a move that will kill that has a chance to miss or do an effect that can change the outcome of the battle. Also with a random chance to do 50% more damage on a turn.
I understand as content creators you guys want to hear about the new cards to make videos etc around it. But I genuinely prefer not to have millions of people trying to solve the meta before the cards have even been released, playing against the same day 1 net deck every game, surely it's a good thing to extend the life of the new meta

You can get the “versus” wins in the private lobbies and the regular queue
New set needs to hurry up, i can't keep holding these hour glasses
The "win matches" missions for shine dust count for any battle mode, not just the event lobby.

Can confirm Willow's statement just threw Marowak EX and Machamp EX in there and got the 5 wins 😂
You can get the shinedust even if you battle outside of the event. Just need to be a battle against a player.

I did mine with exeggutor and beedrill 😌
won my 5 using blastoise ex, faced Pikachu ex, mewtwo, charizard, and blaine aggro
What was your deck??
You should try Exeggutor EX Heliolisk deck. Very good off meta. Only leafs since Helio only takes 2 white to attack for 40/80. Fun
Doesn't random matches count towards Win versus battle missions?
They do

I used my poison shuriken deck to get my emblem. I actually got 10 wins in a row with the deck
Willow, I'm glad to hear you're a Marowak ex appreciator.
nice ep watched while playing battles 😁

you sir are a noble one🫡
Same here, i did it with Vulnona/Galoppa. Don‘t know the english names😅 i also wanted to help the community bc my 5th win was also like this🙏🏽
I already won myself 5 straight using my Alakazing list
Blaine gave me a 10-1 record. Faced all the meta decks, mostly Mewtwo. Felt smooth.
Went up to 4 wins 3 times with this deck then get the worst luck in game 5😢
@@ravkhar927 Yeah, honestly 5 in a row in a game so reliant on luck is really hard. I hope they don't do many more of these in the future...
Dekkster is alive. I miss his streams on UA-cam
Nice video. I like the pokemon with the headphones. 🤭 I forgot what the name of that Pokemon is!!
Who's that Pokémon? It's Chikorita!
@@shuriflwrsdang!! I was right! It sounded ridiculous but cool! Thanks!
i played Golem/marowak and got my 5 wins
had both maro and maro EX
I’ve been stomping with Nidoking/Weezing/Koga
Love this deck but the rng hoes me so much😢
Did mine with starmie/greninja
i finished this in my 1st try 5 straight wins in my main acct, i used articuno + greninj, on my 2nd acct i finished it in my 10th games using pikachu /zap and mewtwo deck everygame i swap them, on my 3rd acct i stop at my 3rd win its late here in country i need to sleep im using pikachu and mewtwo deck also,
You don’t need to do the 15 battles won in the event. You can do it in casuals
The counter only goes to 5. I went on a 11 win streak with pika, rip my opponents
I used a pikachu deck but zapdos ended up carrying me.
MaChamp with 1 hitmonchan and lee has beaten every and I’ve gone on multiple 8-10 game win streaks
I wouldnt say you had it all figured out in soft launch..you guys thought Arcanine and Wigglytuff were F tier, and that has been proven far from true. Also, playing baby Mewtwo was figured out after global launch.
Pika and Blaine!
did it with alakazam deck
I've been play ExeVenu and 3-0 amt
Did it with Mewtwo
You can farm the 15 wins im normal pvp so you don't have to ruin others chances!
Ive been cleaning through so many ppl with my Arbok/Pidgeot deck bc everybody wants to run meta Mewtwo deck 😂😂😂

Official trailer for mythical island mini set just dropped..releases on the 17th🎉
edit: MewEX will be in like every deck😂
i got my 5 streak wins using koga/cobra+wiggly deck.
then change my deck to pika, mew2 and arca9 decks to ruined others player day. LOL
You are a really respectable human being (maybe now my comment won't be deleted)
On my 5th win attempt, 12 tails in a row with my fkn Inferno Dance. This is fkn whack 🙄
The game desperately needs more support cards
"Competitive" In a game where 60% of cards throw coins. Very competitive
Dude it’s a game😂 play for fun if you want just like people play competitive like THEY want

What a stupid comment
Somebody throws a lot of tails…
New to Pokemon huh

yeah i agree, it will be fun to try and work stuff out for ourselves when it goes live instead of just 'knowing' the meta already
