      @jonesyxxiv don't worry, this is just a worse (by many orders of magnitude) version of Darkrai EX + Weavile EX + Spiritomb. On top of that, this is also just the old version of Greninja + Druddigon, just with Darkrai added as an attacker instead. This will stay the precious niche deck you want it to be, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    with colorless in both costs, I feel like this could easily be dual energy dark/water to clean up with greninja as a single prize attacker. The dawn lets you move a bad attachment at some point. Sure, you will lose some darkrai damage sometimes, but I feel that ninja counter poking for 60 will make up that difference

    Lately I've been really enjoying Clefable + Togekiss. I need to tweak the supporters, but both lines are super tanky...low retreat cost...low energy cost for attacking...and if you get Togekiss online with Cynthia, it can do upwards of 170 damage in one hit which one shots most EX cards. Currently running Pokeball, Slab, and Professor's to get my Togekiss lines up as quickly as possible. Two Cynthias, One Sabrina, and One Giant Cape. Still toying with different options like Rocky Helmet, Cyrus, and Potion / X-Speed.

    I have made a deck which I just went 9 wins out of 10 games with, and it consists into making either exeggutor or yanmega completely immortal using magic cloak, erika and double shaymin.
    With that in mind, you have a stage 1 ex card with virtually more than 280 or 300 HP if you have both your Erika's and magic cloak.
    You have more if you get shaymin early.
    And honestly, with that, I have yet to face a deck that got to take a significant ko before like turn 8. And by that time you had all the time in the world to power up yanmega behind your exeggutor, and you're now ready to sweep away.

      Genuine question: is Shaymin really worth the slot in the deck? He only heals for 10 and doesn't attack very well. I get that he's a basic but in a way that's even worse, cause starting with it must be awful.
      That said, I've been running a ton of fossil decks with Lucario myself. I think they became a lot better with the inclusion of Pokémon Communications

      @zachjohnson8431 it's the only bad matchup I found actually.
      My deck thrives on stalling out decks that rely on chip damage and attacks that it could tank.
      It doesn't matter how much healing you have when the deck in front of you only clicks one attack that OHKO's you.

      Also found a variant where I played Dialga + melmetal with shaymin and honestly I think shaymin is now my favorite card it's so good.
      Thanks to shaymin I managed to get the edge over another dialga Mel deck that had mew in it and it didn't feel even close, they just couldn't get through the wall.
      Basically, for attacks that don't ohko, 1 Shaymin + melmetal = -30 damage from attacks, and with 2 it's -40. It feels completely broken.

    I don't see why include Dawn in this deck. Like, Darkrai is the only attacker in this deck, so why would you move energy out of him? Maybe you could switch a damaged Darkrai for a full hp one and charge it up for attack, but that does not seem like a play you will usually make in any given game. It seems to me it would be much better to include another card, like a second Comm or a second Rocky Helmet.

    A deck Ive been loving is a Skarmory Yanmega deck. Credit to TillyTCG on youtube.
    It runs: 2 Skarmory, 2 Yanma, 2 Yanmega ex, 1 Spiritomb, 1 Shaymin , 2 Rocky Helmet , 1 Giant Cape , 2 X Speed, 1 Sabrina , 1 Cyrus, 1 Dawn, 2 Poké Ball, 2 Professor's Research.
    The idea is to start with a skarmory and a rocky helmet and deal 50 damage for one energy as you power up yanmega in the bench. Skarmory can also act as a wall chipping away damage with rocky helmet. This can one shot manaphy by turn two if you get a good start. Additionally spirtomb helps chip away at all pokemon to allow cyrus to do its thing as well as Shaymin is there for some extra healing. You can remove a sabrina and add another cyrus as need be. Shaymin can also be removed depending on your liking however the extra 10 healing can come in clutch sometimes

    Unconventional deck I love is 2x vespiquen/victreebel/farfetch’d/rocky helm/Erika/ prof oak
    1x pokeflute/potion
    Supporters/items can mix and match im sure- I haven’t pulled any of the new new supporters yet but it’s been so great. Combee can call for family which replaces poke balls and vespiquen can do 70 dmg with two energy. Victreebel’s fragrance trap can lure out EX’s like darkrai while powering up, or just keep pokeflute on hand to destroy manaphy’s and meltans over and over! I’ve noticed alot of regigigas lately too, which can be fragrance’d trapped out when you are in a pinch since it costs 4 to retreat them.
    Hoping I get a Cyrus soon to try it- but I’m having fun away. I’m finding it pretty reliable!
    Thanks for the fun videos, Spragels!

    I've been running different iterations if Fighting Fossil decks with Lucario since the beginning of the expantion and I really think they are a lot better now. The first deck I made was a Kabutops deck with Lucario and a single Chatot. Pokemon Communications + Chatot and the ability to dump fossils means you're way more consistent and the low energy requirements make you really fast. If you include one Cloak, once your Kabutops is online and you have 1 or 2 Lucarios on the bench, you have crazy sustain and basically make it so that the opponent has to oneshot you. I think the better deck is still with Rampardos (in my version I also include one single copy of Aerodactyl ex). Pretty fun and surprisingly good. Sometimes you do brick pretty badly and can't really do anything, but when you draw at least one fossil, you're pretty likely to see everything you need

    I’m a noob at this game so I been watching videos to understand the game. I had enough cards to try this ChipCity. I ended up going against a celebi ex with a serperior feeding it energy. I had lost a frog to another basic, can’t remember, and I had drud benched with two energies, because until right now, I didn’t know that drud and the frog aren’t supposed to be getting powered up, so I had my energy settings for fire water dark. So my opponent had a celebi with 5 energies, he does the draw and I’m lucky enough that he only get one head, so I get l 40 residual due to the rough skin and the helmet cards, then I shiruken again for another 20 hp and then I dawn an energy from Darkrai to power up drud for the last 80hp to knock it out. My opponent conceded after that 😅

    Dialga + Mew is fairly standard, but I run it with a Spiritomb and a Regigigas too. Only 1 Regi to minimize the chance of it leading. A couple of Explorers, Leafs, Cyrus, and tools. Use Mew to defend against Palkia, Charizard and Mewtwo, and but otherwise Dialga sets up Regigas really nicely, and that gets stronger as it takes hits, it's a severely underrated card!

      @Jesse-lv2yo 5 днів тому +1

      I revitalized Gengar with one line of Dusknoir and PokeComms to get it on the bench once the first Gengar is out. Essentially you keep Gengar active and striking while timing your damage soak on Dusknoir to keep Gengar alive crazy long. In an ideal scenario (and with two capes) it can take up to 490 damage(!!) before it's KO'd while dishing out 100 a turn and preventing any Dawns, Cyruses, Sabrinas, Oaks, etc the entire time. I haven't had a chance to test it very long but it seems solid even without having pulled all the ideal pieces yet. Only hard counter I can think of is Charizard or maybe Celebi.

    If I have the deck cards written here than I came up with it.
    Yanmega ex & Exeggutor ex deck
    Use Blaine deck (go first) I recomend using rocky helmet so when Yanma attack you can then KO it with one hit from rapidash.
    Win with a deck that has only Darkness type pokemon I did it with Scolipede deck. But I maybe Weavile ex deck works with Spiritomb or with Darkray ex you can change it if you want.

    2× Cyrus
    2× X speed
    2× Potion
    2× Sabrina
    Infernape ex & Rapidash deck
    Win this battle without your opponent getting any points & Win with a deck that has only ◇, ◇◇, ◇◇◇ pokemon.
    I'm honestly surprised how good this deck is
    for this battle.
    Go first to get Lumineon set and give it a rocky helmet before they can evolve their pokemon this way you already have a point. Focus on the Infernape ex evolution line so that Infernape ex doesnt happen.
    2× Finneon Spacetime Smackdown

    1× Pokemon Communication
    2× Professors research
    2× Pokeball
    2× Giovanni (to get 80 hp fire pokemon with one hit)
    2× Sabrina
    Palkia ex & Vaporeon deck
    Use Pikachu ex deck.
    Win with a deck that has only Fire type pokemon.
    Use Charizard ex & Moltres ex deck.
    And just lead with Moltres ex go second.
    Molters is weak to Electric type not water type so it takes a while to take it down.

I play it with slab and sabrina, and don't even bother with Geo. It has a pretty solid win rate for me too. Oh yeah, and no EX cards is always nice.

    Been having a decent amount of success with Garchomp/Wigglytuff EX. The double energy is still a problem, had a game where I generated 11 fighting energy in a row, though Dawn does help somewhat. If you power up Wigglytuff EX first with one type of energy, then only generate a second type later, you can use Dawn to color fix the energy on the Garchomp, or other dragon pokemon for that matter. Again, doesn't help when you only generate one type of energy, but dual energy doesn't feel as bad as it did before

    I have seen an interesting version of this deck that is more stall with dusknoir instead of greninja as dusk can heal up your front line. They probably are about the same strength with the dusk version just bulkier
    Dusknoir is actually way better than I thought since it will always heals full even if it has less health example if only had 10 hp and you active was also damaged to 10 hp dusk would heal you active to full and die but with darkrai that could be a trade of 130 or 150 hp for 10 so pretty strong not overly op but still cool and unique

    8:20 Well there's still no way to adjust your energy types. The only way to generate water/fighting energy beyond that is Misty/Brock. So you either have to hope you don't get screwed over by the 50/50 energy distribution (I just came out of a game where I was given SIX water energy in a row), run an all fighting deck with a water type to use Misty on, actually flip heads with Misty, and then use Dawn/Manaphy to give the energy to Garchomp, or run an all water deck with a useless Onix to give fighting energy with Brock and then Dawn the energy over to Garchomp.
    It's a gross lack of competence that they still haven't given even the slightest method for making dragon types work whatsoever. Every bit as disgusting as the trade system implemented.

    • @jamesbryce8577
      @jamesbryce8577 6 днів тому

      Empoleon only targets one bench and being stage 2 makes it incredibly inconsistent it basically does the same as articuno but with targeted bench damage.
      No real reason to use empoleon over any of the better options like palkia, starmie or vaporeon in the deck you described plus articuno really just does the same thing without filling your deck with a full evo line

    Is Dawn even necessary in this deck or am I missing something totally obvious here? All energy (ideally) goes to Darkrai. Is it just to mitigate energy investment if Darkrai doesn't show up in the early game? That's the only real use I can see for it in this build. I'd sooner play 2 PokéCommunications if that's the case.

    I wouldn't call it unconventional, but I've been trying to get Gallade ex to work. Obviously I have Lucario as well, but I've been using Regirock as a wall and late game attacker. Gallade's energy is under curve, so I can put an energy on Regirock to Leaf it out, although most of the time it just gets KO'd anyway. Giant Cape on Gallade, Rocky Helmet on the first Regirock. Chip damage from Rocky Helmet, plus Lucario boosts help Gallade take down Weavile, and from there Darkrai isn't much of a threat. With 2 Lucario, Gallade can one-shot Mewtwo if it has 2 energy attached, with the Cape helping it not get one-shot.
