Playing the same deck but without Pincurchin and Potion for an extra Giovanni and Surge. I feel like 6 base pokémons + the 2 poke balls are enough. I got lucky to pull a golden Pikachu EX, and yesterday I pulled my 2nd Zapdos EX. As a F2P player, the game pretty much told me to play this deck.
Whenever I play Pikachu deck, 6 basic pokemon always feel a little bit too low. Yet whenever I try adding more basic, it reduces the chances of me drawing Pikachu EX.
Same goes for me. I feel like the game wants me to main this deck. I’m a new player and got almost all the components of this deck except for 1 ex zapdos and 1 raichu. I just got my 2nd pika ex. I think I’m buying my 2nd pick through craft and try my luck in this incoming black friday sale in packs.
I have been running an incomplete version of this deck, cause i have no zap and only one pikachu ex, yest is still my best deck just for how reliable it's damage is.
How do u do against articuno/starmie? I find it really weird how I always do well against pika decks with my water deck but I consistently lose to marowak/mankey mew two and some others
Acuno starme can beat anyone if they hit a misty - it’s always nice to play a deck with free wins in it - only pika being great is keeping it in check - the extra 20 for playing your weakness makes chip damage so hard to overcome
Holy smokes, i battled you yesterday. I remembered the same exact deck u running , in the end u pulled the Lt surge and smoke me with the Raichu winning 3-2. GG
Been obsessed w this game lately and i really look forward to your videos. I love your vibes and the length of your videos is perfect for me. Keep it up! ❤️
Haven’t lost hardly any matches with this cooking Grass/Psychic deck: 2 Exeggutor, 1 Hypno, 1 Pidgeot, 1 Mewtwo Ex, 2 Erika… Exeggutor holds the line while charging Mewtwo and using pigeot and or Hypno abilities to stall. Sometimes Mewtwo starts until building Exe. 2 x speed in case of Drowsee start.
you'd think the odds of not hitting 4 heads when you need precisely just 1 to win a match dont happen very often, but then we're introduced to Pokemon TCG pocket....kinda ridiculous how often the worse case scenario happens...
don't have Raichu yet so for now i'm just using the Zebra, whatever its name is. Pikachu Ex is just too good of a deck, i really wonder if they're gonna nerf it
It’s pretty useful i think since its a basic and can paralyze in an emergency, and in this deck it can just sit on bench for pika ex, or if you had to put energy on it that energy can be moved to raichu with Lt Surge
@@Semystic there’s a learning curve with pincurchin. It’s amazing that’s why top Pikachu Ex decks run it on touraments. It’s sometimes a way out or a difference maker on mirrors
Those 4 tails on the first battle 😂

6 is aight but 7 basic is optimal

The better list only has 1 zapdos anyway ur almost there

12:01 bro was not kidding🙏
I just need everyone to know that I was playing this deck three weeks before it was cool, and also you should use the magneton line for maximum cool

Yeah this deck is op. Was using a dragonite deck before this and had about 50% win rate. After 5 games with this I’m undefeated lol

This deck is like the megaknight deck in clash royale. Lots of people using it minus the Raichu.
I'm just missing one Raichu to complete this deck :^(
And I am one Pikachu Ex🥲🫠

*IT'S OVER 9,000!*
WHAT? NINE THOUSANDS!!??

More like power creep
Without magneton this is basically an ex pika deck as opposed to a raichu deck
I agree. Pika EX is simply OP. I was running Magneton/Raichu as my main for the events and was winning against meta as well.
What’s the point of pincurchin? I feel like it’s never worth powering it up over another card
It’s pretty useful i think since its a basic and can paralyze in an emergency, and in this deck it can just sit on bench for pika ex, or if you had to put energy on it that energy can be moved to raichu with Lt Surge
@ the paralyze I guess I get. But between the 2 pikas, 2 pika ex 2 zapdos, there’s more than enough basics no?
Paralyze. Also, you can x-speed it out and surge the energy. He is so valuable that even other tournament winning Pikachu Ex decks have it.
Pincurchin feels useless. Sure it can para, but I feel those 2 energy are better used elsewhere
@@Semystic there’s a learning curve with pincurchin. It’s amazing that’s why top Pikachu Ex decks run it on touraments. It’s sometimes a way out or a difference maker on mirrors
Is Magneton to generate bench energy for Surge not a line in this deck then?
No, u don't have space for it, and u only have 1 surge, and its played more like a last resort kinda thing.
I take out zapdos's and pincurchin, and make room for magneton and another surge
shout out Erick the Architect
how are ppl playing this on pc? over emulator or is there a pc version?
BlueStacks, I thought it was common knowledge at this point tbh, it's been around for many years.
Bluestacks, Ldplayer Vulkan and Mumu player
Pika needs a nerf for sure. At least 3 retreat
Only missing 1 zapdos ex. Next best replacement?
I almost never use zapdos ex. You could probably use regular zapdos
Probably just slip in another pinchurchin or swap pin for a zebstrika line.
Music not hitting in this one
That's not the deck bro. 2x Pika ex, 2x Magneton line, 2x Riachu line, pokeballs, Lt Surges, Sabrina's, Prof researches, x speeds = best deck ever
Not as consistent and too bricky
@revo5124 idk mate, seems just fine to me. I win most of the games i play with it, regardless of the deck I go against.
Agreed
This guy knows what’s up - you will rarely have enough mana for raichu without magnetron- you don’t need healing in this deck
Out of curiosity, where does the "i" come from in your pronunciation of Zapdos' name? The way you say would be spelled Zapidos. :p
good point! That's just what I always called it as a kid!
Pikachu is too strong
Jpnese dude made this deck first I think
Arcanine and primeape can still beat it
Any deck can beat every other deck tho. But this deck is really top tier and an excellent tournament deck.
@smolPig21 bro i used raichu deck even before it become meta and people say electrode is best even this guy 😅
@@zerenx8272 tournament results says otherwise.
Can i add u as friend in the game?
