I agree. It be able to swing for 90 then get an extra damage tick maxing at 140, doing 230 damage for a single prize stage 1 is insane. And the added bonus that if the burn damage knocked out a pokemon, because the knock out wasn';t from damage it doesn't activate abilities like with Fez EX would probably be a really broken deck if you can keep recurring the magmorters
@@Willyazaa Giving it a second thought, I agree the 3 energy are already a huge requirement for a 1-turn Mon. Also, 4xMagmortar in play is not realistic after the first one is KOd.
Yeap but is not only the 230 damage, is the 140 burn damage... Means that if not retheat very possible to KO by burn. We have now 240 hp single price pokemon, with 4 energy attachment 210 damage, much easier set up anyway...
8:43 I can see a lycanroc dusclops deck in the future, because if the enemy active pokemon has 50 damage counters you will deal 240 which totals to 290 and since lycanroc uses colorless energy this allows you to play uxie with painful memories to just add more setup
Personally I like the idea of a hyper aroma dodrio munki type spread. Dusknoir packages doesn’t fit as well imo, only thing it synergizes with is the damage spread, where other decks like zard take advantage of the forced prize take n stuff like that
The Lycanroc just feels like a stage one version of the fighting type Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Similar attacks, abilities, and same type. You're trading being a basic and better damage scaling on the attack for the ability to dig energies out of the discard. But Ursaluna can work with basics, while Lycan needs special energies.
You could play blaziken with the magmorter and volcanion Leafeon ex with the magearna Lycanroc with the starmie that does damage Or the glimmora that does a bunch of poison and flips for no prize maybe with bloodmoon or iron valiant or munkidori Banette with the comfey that draw your opponents cards and xerosic, eh I cant wait to play greninja ex now that manaphy is gone, though tera is annoying budew might help slow them down
We have had abilities like this TTar, in black and white we had a Gothitelle that did the same thing, got two top cuts in NAIC 2013 with accelgor, and of course Vileplue does it from the bench but it item locks you too, tons of placements. Though the main difference with TTar is that it does have a useable attack. Instead of having to shuffle your bench around, you can just attack with it and keep it in the active. Or maybe it will be like gothitelle, and an attacker that switches itself will be the play. Whose to say
Banette, Frolass, budew, munkidori? just lock them with budew early on, then xeno them to 3 or by then if they taking your budews, iono - discard whole hand and just spread dmg with fro and munki
4:03 i believe it’s powerful! 6 energies and you can beat almost everything. And it’s a stage 1 one prizer… if chienpao got KO’ed, let the lord pave the wai(y). Not to forget that chienpao can hit exactly 300 with 5 energies but those energies are going to the discard pile! So wailord is pretty good Wailord is also tankier than chienpao
Yeah! Chuck the magearna in as well for good measure. Although you might prefer to put a chien pao ex in the active at the start of your turn, to draw those water energies
I wouldn't say better. Brute Bonnet, mini Pecharunt kos it turn 1. Squawkabilly, townstore, and Carmen make it easy to pull off even after rotation. TTar and budew together, tho.👌🏾 I have big plans for budew and TTar!
A good tyranitar deck is gonna be funn. And probably with mochi it can hit really hard and you cant counter catcher so only boss i guess but then they can't set up or something
The set up for Ttar would take too long or a waste of rare candy for a card that is not going to one shot a lot of other pokemon. The other issue is 3 retreat cost. Ability wise its great.
I am convinced that if N had a guaranteed big attacker (like 260-300) then it's the best deck in the format. Right now I think we just gotta play it as more of a pseudo control deck.
While Spiritomb was in a sense more powerful as it disabled all Trainer cards, not just Item cards, it also shut down your own Trainer cards. Tyranitar only shuts down the opponent.
@@oMA3LSTROMo Yes, yes, that is true, but irrelevant. The argument from Azul was that it's (allegedly) the best ABILITY, not the best Pokémon all around. And Spiritombs ABILITY is not necessarily better. There was also a Dark Vileplume that shut down all trainers as well, and did so even from the bench, if I'm not mistaken. Anywho, I never said Tyranitar is better thant that Spiritomb, I (and Azul) was only talking about the ABILITY...
Hold on... regarding Magmortar and Volcanion... What about Medicham ex? You know, the one that reduces your opponent's active to 50 HP. Exactly what you would be doing with Magmortar's burn. There might be something in here.
Furtious strike is basically unhit. All other meta decks are dead. Ceruledge looks fun. Dont wait until rotation start cooking now with pre release cards and no F cards. Dont listen to these fulthy casual. As a yugi player i can say most pokemon player shave 0 thoughts due to the games solitaire playstyle
Gothitelle had that ability back in the day and it was just ok. Tyranitar looks like a better attacker, but I still don't see it being a top tier deck. I haven't really been following the JP format, so I don't know how people are adapting to budew, but things could look bad for ttar if players become less reliant on items. On the other hand, things look good for tyranitar if people are planning to ko a 30 hp item locker and they just can't break through a 190 hp mon that also hits hard.
first time watching you, (great start) I would have to say as a generic ability the Ttar is definitely the best i've seen but i only recently got into pokemon 4 months ago so my opinion isnt really too valid. Whats ur opinion on the Mamo/Pidgeot Deck? I think its gonna struggle with the simple fact of having to need too many candies but theres also a part of me that just thinks its gonna be the best deck off rip. What's ur opinion?
@@emiliogottardo9726yeah klinklang will throw itself onto the bench if your opponent has a stage 2 down, might be easier just to run all luxray perhaps and use things like Dusknoir
Couldn't that Lycandroc be used with Meowscarada ex, or Dusknoir/Dusklops? A single Dusklops would mean you could be swinging for 240. 151 Starmie is also a good shout too
Lose a prize. Meowscarada is too slow to set up. I would recommend playing it with iron valiant ex but of course that’s just a 2 prize liability, unfortunately the deck might not be that good
4:00 is still 240 HP from single price pokemon bro! I mean maybe 210 is not good damage, but is a good wall pokemon... Edit and was not 210 damage... He can do more if you attach more energy cards...
I didn’t think of that. Only difficulty will be the fact that it’s a stage 2, so the rare candies become more scarce. Maybe Flygon will be somewhat viable after this.
Tyranitar being just your opponents is extremely strong in comparison to Vileplume. Also means you can mill or use TMs to devo while item locking, unlike Budew.
1:51 I think they nerfed the attack because the ability is easily stackable. +140 damage from burn (if 4x Magmortar in play) is crazy.
I agree. It be able to swing for 90 then get an extra damage tick maxing at 140, doing 230 damage for a single prize stage 1 is insane.

Yeah if you got your 4-4 stage 1 line in play and 3 energy on it I think it’s allowed to do something somewhat good.
@@Willyazaa Giving it a second thought, I agree the 3 energy are already a huge requirement for a 1-turn Mon. Also, 4xMagmortar in play is not realistic after the first one is KOd.
I don't feel it's that easy to stack four stage 1s from non-buddy basics...
Yeap but is not only the 230 damage, is the 140 burn damage... Means that if not retheat very possible to KO by burn.

1:57 for three energy you should definitely be able to burn the defending pokemon
Pretty sure we've had all the trainer cards revealed going by the set numbers on the cards
13:40 azul says currently there is no deck playing the dundunsparce draw engine
Me: objection Tinkaton ex
Literally faced that the other day was soo confused what it was meant to do
You could use the 151 Starmie with Lycanroc. It places 2 damage counters without giving prizes.
Meowscarada ex albeit a bit janky, or Dusknoir/Dusklops too
@@PeterCaptainObviousdusk gives prizes but yeah. Can't wait to scan some codes and test it in PTCGL
You could play blaziken with the magmorter and volcanion
Leafeon ex with the magearna
Lycanroc with the starmie that does damage
Or the glimmora that does a bunch of poison and flips for no prize maybe with bloodmoon or iron valiant or munkidori
Banette with the comfey that draw your opponents cards and xerosic, eh
I cant wait to play greninja ex now that manaphy is gone, though tera is annoying budew might help slow them down
Stoutland/Kabutops that supporter locked the opponent seams better me... Also, Vileplume that item locks fromn the bench was probably better
The card list you are showing in this video, may i know where can i access to it and is there similar list of other sets please? Thanks in advance
is n's joltik usable as a tech card outside of zoroark decks? Is it even usable in zoroark decks?

You could pare the lyconroc with froslas and munkidori
more consistent than hisuian growlith, tho that is a free atack for 120, same damage type
Good for hydreigon ex deck?
When I saw that on pokebeach I was like, "The time has come."
Incineroar ex's attack burns and does 240 damage base. Magmortar would definitely help with the damage output
You think you play Ttar with Flygon?
Shaymin EX with set up is up there for best ability of all time that card was nuts in that format.
@@yuril6313 only beaten by Uxie with the Setup ability, which is the same as shaymins but you drew to 7 cards rather than 6
Which is just a worse Uxie LA
Banette, Frolass, budew, munkidori? just lock them with budew early on, then xeno them to 3 or by then if they taking your budews, iono - discard whole hand and just spread dmg with fro and munki

@ youkre not wrong. Thanks for the suggestion
the wailord has 240 hp btw. that's actually not trivial to ohko for a lot of decks
Budew is better than Ttar
Sherlock Holmes over here
Play Budew in your ttar deck and dominate
@@itsDragonBanebig brain time
I wouldn't say better. Brute Bonnet, mini Pecharunt kos it turn 1. Squawkabilly, townstore, and Carmen make it easy to pull off even after rotation. TTar and budew together, tho.👌🏾 I have big plans for budew and TTar!
i say combine them in a deck and see what happens in pidgeot control
What website is this
A good tyranitar deck is gonna be funn. And probably with mochi it can hit really hard and you cant counter catcher so only boss i guess but then they can't set up or something
So, finally will Flygon hit-and-run will be a viable strategy?
Waiting for a decent Raticate equalling the fun of Black and White era to emerge once more.
Fun times
The set up for Ttar would take too long or a waste of rare candy for a card that is not going to one shot a lot of other pokemon. The other issue is 3 retreat cost. Ability wise its great.
If there was some big N’s attacker to go along with zoroark it could be good but right now it kind of feels underwhelming
I am convinced that if N had a guaranteed big attacker (like 260-300) then it's the best deck in the format. Right now I think we just gotta play it as more of a pseudo control deck.
I think there might be better abilities such as shaymin EX, let loose marshadow, and overeager sableye
Baxcalibur, Wailord, Magearna? Using luxurious cape, hero’s cape? a bunch of switch cards would be necessary however, not sure how it would work
Lycanroc, with mad bite ursaluna and iron valiant should be interesting
So what about the banette hand lock into t-tar item lock and mill with a little damage? Could that be worth it?

While Spiritomb was in a sense more powerful as it disabled all Trainer cards, not just Item cards, it also shut down your own Trainer cards. Tyranitar only shuts down the opponent.
