nice vid! for the zebra: 90+30 is a good breakpoint on the pikachu, but is also 90(+20)+30=140 for moltress, articuno, starmie and zapdos. So the zebra is the more "pikachu" of the pika builds, it is the best at beating everything that would be already a favourable matchup.... Raichu instead offers a slow burn gameplan that isnt as good in mirrors neither in the already good matchups, but can beat on another axis. Is pretty similar to the dinamic between starmie/cuno that double down on the strenght, but any of them with ninja gives more flexibility.... As long as the metagame remains as open as is right now, raichu should be the best version of the deck
Pikachu Raichu is what I've found to be most consistent with Magnemite But Pikachu EX w Zapdos EX and Electrode is pretty good as well I don't like Pincurchin but if people like it, sure
somehow the pincurchin, raichu zapdos deck has the most consistancy. But both can be strong, just that's the top performer at the moment There's a video that's 30,743 games and deck data that's been compiled to show winrate/consistencies of the different variations of decks pretty interesting watch.
The Voltorb lines with free retreats just feel really clean to me, but I can't deny the ability to poke things out with Zebstrika feels really amazing, too. I like the idea of hybridizing with Raichu. That idea could definitely go places with some more time in the tank. Also, the magneto slip made me chuckle lol
My current build prioritizes getting the basics on the bench to fuel Pikachu EX: 2 Voltorb 2 Pikachu 1 Raichu 1 Electrode 2 Zapdos EX 2 Pikachu EX 1 Potion 2 X Speed 2 Poke Ball 2 Professor's Research 1 Lt. Surge 1 Giovanni 1 Sabrina
@@rianahmadrusydi8002 I like it better than every other Pikachu EX build that I've tried, and I've tried them all. I also think you can temporarily run it without both Zapdos EX without seeing too much of an impact.
There is a volt raichu deck floating around as well - have you tried that ? I like the raichu deck the least, however when you go up against non stop mew tew it’s certainly the best - worse into random stuff IMO
@ sorry I should have been more clear - have you played that deck a bunch to have an opinion on it versus the rest or just like the idea? I have played all four variations and depending on who I match up with, I feel good or bad about the choice. Volt can suffer from under 100 hps, yet hits hard
It's probably top 3. 2nd is probably mewtwo gardivour because of it's consistency 1st... is probably that chara, arca deck that tends to beat both... at least in the current meta.
I laugh more than I had to at the Magneto mistake
lmao

I love how there is a good amount of excitement in your voice, but your face expressions say: "this is serious stuff!" ❤
It's not excitement, rather intensity
bro said "smile more"
@@KMPocket I hope you didn't understand it like that. I meant that in a positive way. Like "best of both worlds"
@@romanlouis5805yeah he good UA-camr 🗿
no worries i just thought it was funny

I don't like Pincurchin but if people like it, sure
i saw a list with electrode and a 1 of pika/rai and i thought it looked interesting too

Raichu is better because it's just as competitive imo but is way more fun.
I’ve tried pretty much all of them and I think 2 Pika Ex 2 Zapdos Ex and 2 Raichu was my most consistent.
I didn't knew that KM was making Pocket content!!
and now you do :)
@KMPocket will we get a video on the 5 wins event? I'm loving watching people try it.
Lmao! I legit was like...wait there's a Magneto pokemon?!?! Since when?! 😂😂😂😂
Gotta have the raichu with the electrode for peak pikachu ex. So good.
Ngl...ive made that Magneto mistake a few times myself 😂
My current build prioritizes getting the basics on the bench to fuel Pikachu EX:

2 Poke Ball
2 Professor's Research
1 Lt. Surge

Have you tried this deck? Is it good? I only have 1 Zapdos ex, can i replace with Little Zapdos?

@@kperovic thank you for feedback. I will try this deck
I have one raichu but it definitely feels like it’s missing something

All fun & games 'til they bring out Magneto! 🤣
Pika!
Doesn’t really matter what you or anyone thinks, the raichu variant has the highest win rate in tournaments.
good thing thats the one i like then
It's probably top 3.
2nd is probably mewtwo gardivour because of it's consistency
1st... is probably that chara, arca deck that tends to beat both...
at least in the current meta.
charcanine is genuinely inconsistent
Isn’t 8 Basics more consistent than 7?
No
if we had good ones, maybe, but as is, theyre mostly mediocre
Pikachu Ex is brain daed no matter how you build it lol
the deck is a lie - you can't get 2 of that basic pikachu
It's a place holder, doesn't matter which art card you use, they just wanted to use the pretty one.
lmaooo true
