Just be good at flipping coins and you will be top tier with Charizard. But indeed he’s not as strong, I started playing him yesterday and he wasn’t as weak as I thought tho. If your opponent is playing a deck with EX, you just need to beat 1 pokemon and you are sure you will kill anything they throw at you and be sure you won’t be One hit KOed, which may grant you another prize point.
Agreed I've lost games badly to Articuno decks due to Misty's ability to setup quickly and good overall cards from water types. Should also talk about Frostmoth and Vaporeon as those 2 cards are slept on.
@@ilikwaffles-spidermute I agree but that's if you can get em evolved; The problem is omastar is a 3 stage evolution meaning that it will take a few extra turns to set it up if you even have that. Frostmoth is a better option to me as you can get em setup easily but for a less effective ability than omastar but the two of them put together in a deck could be very good.
I protected misty when this game first came out but then I used it and quickly realized it’s a freaking cheat code. The amount of times you just insta win is insane.
@felipefreire4593 the problem with this is that there's almost no opportunity cost for failing. It's not like it cost you mana or tempo to play the card. You fail, you just pretend it didn't happen and continue with your turn as normal.
Mewtwo is deffo s teir. Once setup it hits hard and easy to pilot. Pairing with meowth to draw an extra card is vital to get gardivor stage 2 out. Probably easily at 90% win rate with it. I think the problem I have with the game is that getting the cards you need for the deck is too hard unless I am missing something. So I was lucky to pull pikachu ex and mewtwo ex and build the deck. I have none of the other ex's or basic/stage 1 to make it viable and so limited and stuck on just using the mewtwo deck i have.
Technically, but it is slightly harder to set up. If you have gardevoir it becomes easier bytut gardevoir is a stage 2. It's still q very very good deck, probably the third best in the meta. But top of A tier looks fair to me.

Charizard is a slower playing deck, but it has solid bulk with 2 moltres to get through, that gives you time to get zard out and 6 energy on. The only things that really get through moltres consistently and fast is mewtwo or pika decks.
A friend of mine showed me the app, and it seemed like it was really cool (I've never played pokemon before this point) so he got his irl cards and we played a match.

Tbh 1 month later your tiers list was pretty accurate, you were a little bit overhype by venusaur and charizard should be in A tiers but it’s a good tiers list. Except for arcanine he is somewhere between A tiers and B tiers, C tiers is wild ( i'll say A tiers but that’s just me)
I'm a venusar ex/exegcute ex main. 95% win rate. biggest issue is starting with bulbasaur and going first- if I'm up against starting under these conditions it is an auto loss.
Misty is strong, but I think it speaks volumes about the OTHER gym leader cards. Blaine? Brock? Surge? WTF are these used for - fringe, B-tier decks? Screw that. We should see them brought to parity: Blaine should boost fire-type damage for a turn, Surge should pull energy from the bench to an active electric-type, and Brock should give energy AND allow damage mitigation for a turn (in-theme with rock/ground-types, a la Harden/Dig/Ancient Power/Wide Guard).
brock would be better if he could give 1 energy to all "fighting" types or at least had a larger pool he could give energy to. marowak would definitely benefit. i like how hes much more consistent then misty but he doesnt have much to use that consistency for.
@@D33STRUCTIV3 this is a gacha card game bro, powercreep is on the way. Wait a bit and you will definitely see trainer cards with these type of effects
Started playing yesterday and got: Venusaur EX, Exeggutor EX, Articuno EX, Gengar EX, Mewtwo EX and Marowak EX. It's nice to know they will come in handy for future deckbuiding.
I really like my marowak deck... would love it if I wasnt getting 2 tails every single damn turn, meanwhile my opponent is getting 3 heads in a row, idk why in the world they made this card like this instead of just saying u do 80 dmg and if u get 2 heads u do an additional 80, I swear the amount of cards that rely on coin flips make this game more rng based then card based
Interesting breakdown. I agree Misty is broken asf lol. I feel it should have been made like flip 3 coins and attach a water energy for each heads to your Starmie since thats her base game main pokemon. maybe even a lapras since she has one in later games.
I would also add a side note for Machamp is that if you're getting all the stages in the first hand to do that early damage chain, Red card will 100% ruin that
I have tried probably 25 times and still can’t beat the “Expert Starmie EX and Greninja deck” that has SEVERAL articuno, misty, starmie, and greninja that have an amazing ability. It’s actually absurd how OP that combo is.

@@jeysats7196 not really tho sometimes the rng does pretty much random moves that when I'm already at 2 points, the opponent swaps out from his almost full health starmie to another low health pokemon which I could one hit KO so that I won eventually
Zard is very rough, I agree. The four big matchups every deck has to care about are Pika Staryu/Water Mewtwo Marowak All of these deck do good damage fast and will therefore kill the moltres quickly, and then even if you have a zard in play, you hit them once and then they Sabrina you and kill a benched mon for the game. Because it has to give up a 2 prizer early into all the really important matchups, it cant make use of that massive 180HP
@Siennarchist the advantages of charizard EX deck over mewtwo EX deck are its higher bulk (survives mewtwo EX's 150 hp attack) and higher damage (can ohko stage 2 EX). In a faceoff between the two, charizard EX deck should be slightly favoured but it depends who draws their engine better. If the guy doesn't draw both mewtwo EX, he will lose if the charizard EX ko the 1st mewtwo EX.
I watched this video last night and excitedly went and crafted two Misty cards. Put them in a powerful water deck. Since then, I have used the Misty card a total of 42 times in battle. I kept up with the data. 38 of them were tails on the first coin flip. 2 of them got heads, and then tails. Only 2 got more than one heads. Therefore: 38/42 times (Tails immediately): ~90.48% 2/42 times (1 head, then tails): ~4.76% 2/42 times (2 or more heads, then tails): ~4.76% And even if we just counted the number of times it was either heads or tails: Tails: ~90.48% Heads: ~9.52% The card sucks.
Very good tierlist, I think it is the best one I have seen so far. My only nitpick is that Mewtwo should be S tier, but you did address it. Also props to not underselling Exeggutor EX unlike some other tierlists. To me it is the lowest A tier EX or high B tier. It is for sure a flawed EX, but with a bunch of upsides as well.
Going against a Machamp that gets upgraded each turn is pretty demoralizing (especially when it's in the final tier of solo challenges haha). I'm curious if it will get more play with the new mankey promo card.
I think machamp is pretty alright because it could oneshot Starmy with a Giovanie and pikachu without and is only a turn slower than them> To bad it is also in one shot range of Mewtwo + Giovanie
If it just had 10 more attack it would be a lot more threatening with giovanni (ohko birds ect), so for the sake of 10 atk it is still a decent card. I have a machamp and marowak Ex deck and it does the job.
I'm on the part of the globe that gets their tierlists on Tuesdays. And don't get me started on the pink Thursdays. Yep, it's a real madhouse 'round here.. Real madhouse I tell ya..
Misty is F tier for me. My friend said (and I agree) that I spent all my luck on pokemon for card packs. Because I got almost 2 binders of immersives and ex cards, but for two weeks, I got 0 energy from misty
No I 100 percent agree with the Misty commentary. The second time I went about against this card in PVP, it gave their Blastoise or Articuno 6 effing energy.
The marowak one was true because I had one of the most craziest matches with it. Like I was fighting against a Mewtwo and I got 8 tails in a row, so the opponent had a lot of time to setup their Mewtwo, but the moment that Mewtwo became active, my Marowak rolled two heads and it one shot that Mewtwo. Like I got 4 heads continuously, first it eliminated Kangaskhan, then took down mewtwo
nearly smashed my phone a few times thanks to double tails but when it hits (even once), it's great. I have Sandslash as a backup for quick 2 energy 70 damage and there have been games that I intentionally retreated marowak ex to get guaranteed fixed damage lol
I had people quitting, when their misty failed on articuno and its crazy how many times it happens hahaha. But i feel that. I run a pickachu-zapdos deck with jolteon and electrode support. If pikachu fails, i got zapdos mainly as a bench-bro or fighting type coverage and electrodes as emergency damage dealer and meat shields and jolteon for a late game sweep. Its not always easy to get the jolt out, but i rarely lost when i managed to pull it off. Also it saved my bacon in several matchs where i was unlucky and didnt draw a single ex The deck that makes ME shit my pants is the mewtwo-gardevoir-hypno combo. Never won against that, when they got these 3 out together
Blastoise doing 100 for only 3 while not sacrificing an energy makes it A Tier for me personally. Especially with Misty being able to potentially load him up almost instantly.
One thing that I think people should take in to account is solo battles. A card like Ditto is absolutely useless in competetive, but in solo battles, you can in theory use it to counter fast Mons like Starmie for cheap.
idk if its the same for the TGC, but I really wish they rework the turn to first turn u can place energy but cant attack, and maybe cant use trainer cards too, idk if that would be balanced
I think Char is being massively underrated, Moltres can fill this guy up with energy so it can easily Crimson storm 3 times, as long as you get to that point (which is honestly not that hard unless your hand bricks hard), you can bring Char in, take a kill and then guarantee that you win the 1v1 no matter what comes in. This basically guarantees that Charizard will always take 2 KO's if he's properly set up, agaisn't most decks, there is just genuenly nothing the oponent can do as long as you properly play around Sabrina
I think you might be sleeping on Arcanine a little bit. The one energy lower requirement than Char means you can ramp into 120 damage really quickly, and I think once the meta stops being dominated by big blasters, he’ll really shine
Why would it stop being big blasters? Mewtwo/gard is very tough to stop if they can stall you, pika is insane damage at just 2 energy, and ofc water decks can just pop off at a moments notice. I don't see these big 3 going anywhere.
Its not an EX using deck, but honestly, i love the Koga deck over anything else. I have the most success with it, and, I've gotten people to quit with the Weezing retreat lol
I use Arcanine for fast end game.. Rapidash as tank ( cheap cost for attack and retreat ) I'll will use every trick to prevent opponent bringing B+ cards , so far so good... about -20hp after attacking not a big issue.
Moltres realy deserve a S tier for me, he realy realy strong, no evolution need, and work soo well with all the other fire type. Even if hes attack have some lucky base, you often get at least 1 or 2 energie and that all u need for working well. the fact that he have eletricity weakness is fine because he can still survive a pikachu EX attack and still die to raichu even without weakness And for me, i would say that charizard deserve a place on A tier because of Moltres that push him realy well. Charizar right now is the only one that can take every single other attack for the game and 1 shot enemis back, and for that i think he deserve more even if the lvl 1 and 2 pokemon suck pretty hard, a mean the pokemon would be overpower if the other lvl was at the same lvl of him I think u realy underestimate fire deck over all, that the first deck a make and i win soo many match even against bad match up like water. Fire deck set up better than psy deck and the luck base with Moltres will be more often in ur side that against u (It's not like it's a 50%/50% just hiting 1 or 2 time can make u win the game) ps : sorry if my english is bad, i'm not english ^^
Misty can give you 9 energy, but the probabilities are low. We remember it most when it works, but it is good to average MOST of the time. The probability of giving 1 energy is 50%. 2, is 25%. Higher than that and the chances are less than 15%. 4 energy, which is OP, only happens 6% of the time. It is an awesome card, but I think of it like "the card that gives you 0 to 2 energy"
Coming from other games, it's pretty amusing to see a tier list this easily agreeable on. Pocket is rightfully very easy to understand it seems. Misty sucks tho. Like she is so bad for the state of the game right now
It is ridiculous how every other trainer card has restrictions except Misty… and Erika. Misty gets a lot of the attention due to the really good water Pokémon and of course, in the history of gaming, people LOVE doing damage fast. There is always an abundance of people who wanna be the damage dealer and not the healer/tank… Enter grass Pokémon with Venusaur, Butterfree, x2 potions, and x2 Erika. It’s not flashy. It’s slow, but man unless you’re dealing high damage consistently, they’re going to outlast you. Ultimately, I think it’s just what is available. Water have high damage units that can get online fast. Ironically though, the best deck is the Pika deck that comes online faster (pending coin flips and draws) and deals bonus damage. I don’t know if the answer is change/nerf or wait and see how the game evolves.
Not only Brock and Lt Surge, Blaine and Koga are also very specific. However what about if instead of nerfing Misty (which I agree is probably the most broken card in the game) they buff the other trainer so any type has a broken card. At least everyone have fun and not only water 🤣
If Misty was just for Lapras, Golduck, and Starmie, I think it would be ok. Very strong but not broken. Enabling t1 Articuno is not healthy for the game and instant pop offs for stuff like kingler and blastoise is pretty much gg
I think the main problem with Zard is not requiring 4 energies to attack or even that it discards 2. The main problem is that is a stage two and if your Charmeleons or Zard are at the bottom you are simply too slow but that is a problem that affects all Stage 2 mons. I kind of wish they add a great ball to search for stage one and or ultra ball to search for stage 2 something like that. As of now I feel basic mons or some stage 1 will dominate the meta you already see Pika EX and Mewtwo EX winning tournaments.
The problem with misty, is how turn 1 works in this game. Normaly the 1st person play, and cannot use support. The 2nd guy can use support and gain energy but cannot attack. Right know except if u have a big support trainer to play, being 1st isn't a good thing
I've played 18 trainer Articuno games where my opponent will concede immediately if they don't stack 3 energy on their Articuno. I don't understand why they are even playing the game.
There should be some downside to losing, or at least for conceding early. Like if you concede 3 games before turn 3 you should have to have a cool down or something.
played against a marowak for the first time, read its attack, thought it was broken, and then he flipped double tails 3 times in a row causing me to win
Thanks for the video. ❤. I am new to Pokémon. I used to watch the cartoon, but that was about it. I rerolled on my account, got Mewtwo crowned, but that was it. Should I reroll?
Misty either hits 4 energy or it's a complete dud. But absolutly funny when it hits 4 times and the opponent scoops. Busted card for sure. It should errada to flip 2 coins attach a water energy for each heads. It would still be a strong card as it would mean 50% of the time you get 1 extra energy attachment. Flipping tails on the first coin doesn't feel as bad and I wouldn't be able to completely ready a Articuno or Blastiose with a single card.
I would make a D tier for Gengar ex because it's worse than the regular one, but I agree with the others, yep. Also, Misty should be banned and "printed" again (keeping the original in the game but unusable).
Ive been trying to get a venu ex but to no avail can't reroll now since i almost complete the pika deck I'm only lacking 2 zapdos ex (i got 2 normal zapdos tho 😂 and 1 immersive pika🎉)
My problem with Misty is that she can make any water mon that needs high energy to perform an instant A/A+ tier. There should be a rule; only one Misty allowed per deck. This way, you at least have to use it strategically.
Hey I think you might be slightly wrong on char. For him the real weakness is electric because char only come out at 5 or 6 energy to sweep your tank/ramp is moltres
The problem with fire is everything discards energy to do high but not critical damage for way too many energy requiring moltres to ramp up because if not you have no chance of getting 4 energy on centiscortch or charizard ex. Flareon doesn’t quite knock anything out for the same gambit with 3 energy and good luck with 2 energy ninetails knocking something out without getting yeeted first. If you do manage to get one of them going once it dies you wasted all your energy keeping it out unless you got good moltres rolls and can use two charizard heat clases getting 5 energy on him before bringing him out. Feels like it’s the same deck as mewtwo ex but more conditional and if moltres had an ability from the bench to flip 2 coins instead of 3 and add an energy for each it would be a really strong deck but it having to be actively out there with a 2 retreat cost. Basically the deck suffers from needed too many energy from your pool.
Gengar's ability is great but not for a Pokémon that takes so long to set up, by the time you use it the opponent may have already used most of their supports 16:05

All of these deck do good damage fast and will therefore kill the moltres quickly, and then even if you have a zard in play, you hit them once and then they Sabrina you and kill a benched mon for the game. Because it has to give up a 2 prizer early into all the really important matchups, it cant make use of that massive 180HP
People need to play around Sabrina more and not just blindly play all their basics onto the bench
@@jordanvespa720If you dont bench anything else you just get sabrinad early by fast decks. So ideally you want 2 moltres and 1 zard in play
@Siennarchist the advantages of charizard EX deck over mewtwo EX deck are its higher bulk (survives mewtwo EX's 150 hp attack) and higher damage (can ohko stage 2 EX).
In a faceoff between the two, charizard EX deck should be slightly favoured but it depends who draws their engine better. If the guy doesn't draw both mewtwo EX, he will lose if the charizard EX ko the 1st mewtwo EX.
I watched this video last night and excitedly went and crafted two Misty cards. Put them in a powerful water deck.
Since then, I have used the Misty card a total of 42 times in battle. I kept up with the data.
38 of them were tails on the first coin flip. 2 of them got heads, and then tails. Only 2 got more than one heads. Therefore:
38/42 times (Tails immediately): ~90.48%
2/42 times (1 head, then tails): ~4.76%
2/42 times (2 or more heads, then tails): ~4.76%
And even if we just counted the number of times it was either heads or tails:
Tails: ~90.48%
Heads: ~9.52%
The card sucks.
@@vellichor7676 you’re lying on a mobile pokemon game UA-cam tier list video
pathetic lmfao
flick a da wrist
Very good tierlist, I think it is the best one I have seen so far. My only nitpick is that Mewtwo should be S tier, but you did address it.
Also props to not underselling Exeggutor EX unlike some other tierlists. To me it is the lowest A tier EX or high B tier. It is for sure a flawed EX, but with a bunch of upsides as well.
Going against a Machamp that gets upgraded each turn is pretty demoralizing (especially when it's in the final tier of solo challenges haha). I'm curious if it will get more play with the new mankey promo card.
I think machamp is pretty alright because it could oneshot Starmy with a Giovanie and pikachu without and is only a turn slower than them>
To bad it is also in one shot range of Mewtwo + Giovanie
Yo
Hè dies anyway because its weak to psichic
(Also nice pfp)
If it just had 10 more attack it would be a lot more threatening with giovanni (ohko birds ect), so for the sake of 10 atk it is still a decent card. I have a machamp and marowak Ex deck and it does the job.
I'm on the part of the globe that gets their tierlists on Tuesdays. And don't get me started on the pink Thursdays. Yep, it's a real madhouse 'round here.. Real madhouse I tell ya..
Misty is F tier for me. My friend said (and I agree) that I spent all my luck on pokemon for card packs. Because I got almost 2 binders of immersives and ex cards, but for two weeks, I got 0 energy from misty
No I 100 percent agree with the Misty commentary. The second time I went about against this card in PVP, it gave their Blastoise or Articuno 6 effing energy.
The marowak one was true because I had one of the most craziest matches with it. Like I was fighting against a Mewtwo and I got 8 tails in a row, so the opponent had a lot of time to setup their Mewtwo, but the moment that Mewtwo became active, my Marowak rolled two heads and it one shot that Mewtwo. Like I got 4 heads continuously, first it eliminated Kangaskhan, then took down mewtwo
nearly smashed my phone a few times thanks to double tails but when it hits (even once), it's great. I have Sandslash as a backup for quick 2 energy 70 damage and there have been games that I intentionally retreated marowak ex to get guaranteed fixed damage lol
@@robertbui9030 im running it with diglet/dugtrio x2 - the amount of times they couldn't do a shit is hilarious
I had people quitting, when their misty failed on articuno and its crazy how many times it happens hahaha. But i feel that.
I run a pickachu-zapdos deck with jolteon and electrode support.
If pikachu fails, i got zapdos mainly as a bench-bro or fighting type coverage and electrodes as emergency damage dealer and meat shields and jolteon for a late game sweep. Its not always easy to get the jolt out, but i rarely lost when i managed to pull it off. Also it saved my bacon in several matchs where i was unlucky and didnt draw a single ex
The deck that makes ME shit my pants is the mewtwo-gardevoir-hypno combo. Never won against that, when they got these 3 out together
I'm excited to see when you do 3 diamonds list
Also I'm having a lot of luck with my venu ex deck
Blastoise doing 100 for only 3 while not sacrificing an energy makes it A Tier for me personally. Especially with Misty being able to potentially load him up almost instantly.
I'm so used to have a Decidueye Memorial Tier... Feels so weird not having it
One thing that I think people should take in to account is solo battles.
A card like Ditto is absolutely useless in competetive, but in solo battles, you can in theory use it to counter fast Mons like Starmie for cheap.
idk if its the same for the TGC, but I really wish they rework the turn to first turn u can place energy but cant attack, and maybe cant use trainer cards too, idk if that would be balanced
Spot on, nice tier list
Machamp underrated. Everytime you get it its pretty much game over
I think Char is being massively underrated, Moltres can fill this guy up with energy so it can easily Crimson storm 3 times, as long as you get to that point (which is honestly not that hard unless your hand bricks hard), you can bring Char in, take a kill and then guarantee that you win the 1v1 no matter what comes in.
This basically guarantees that Charizard will always take 2 KO's if he's properly set up, agaisn't most decks, there is just genuenly nothing the oponent can do as long as you properly play around Sabrina
I think you might be sleeping on Arcanine a little bit. The one energy lower requirement than Char means you can ramp into 120 damage really quickly, and I think once the meta stops being dominated by big blasters, he’ll really shine
Why would it stop being big blasters? Mewtwo/gard is very tough to stop if they can stall you, pika is insane damage at just 2 energy, and ofc water decks can just pop off at a moments notice. I don't see these big 3 going anywhere.
I have beat pika decks with arcanine. It can one hit I also like to combo it with Sabrina support.
Nice Mustache, algorithm brought me bc of TCG Pocket
ALSO i just got Lapris EX today for the event
Its not an EX using deck, but honestly, i love the Koga deck over anything else. I have the most success with it, and, I've gotten people to quit with the Weezing retreat lol
Vileplume/exeggutor is the most consistent deck I’ve found so far
I use Arcanine for fast end game.. Rapidash as tank ( cheap cost for attack and retreat ) I'll will use every trick to prevent opponent bringing B+ cards , so far so good... about -20hp after attacking not a big issue.
Zapdos is definitely S tier, so many decks run the birds and it’s super effective against all 3. Even itself 😅
Moltres realy deserve a S tier for me, he realy realy strong, no evolution need, and work soo well with all the other fire type. Even if hes attack have some lucky base, you often get at least 1 or 2 energie and that all u need for working well. the fact that he have eletricity weakness is fine because he can still survive a pikachu EX attack and still die to raichu even without weakness
And for me, i would say that charizard deserve a place on A tier because of Moltres that push him realy well. Charizar right now is the only one that can take every single other attack for the game and 1 shot enemis back, and for that i think he deserve more even if the lvl 1 and 2 pokemon suck pretty hard, a mean the pokemon would be overpower if the other lvl was at the same lvl of him
I think u realy underestimate fire deck over all, that the first deck a make and i win soo many match even against bad match up like water. Fire deck set up better than psy deck and the luck base with Moltres will be more often in ur side that against u (It's not like it's a 50%/50% just hiting 1 or 2 time can make u win the game)
ps : sorry if my english is bad, i'm not english ^^
Actually, the odds of getting at least 1 heads each toss is 7/8 once per turn, which is extremely broken.
Misty will be the first ban list card. Totally agree.
Doesn’t do crap for me 😢 I’m not even lying when I tell you that 8 out of 10 times when I play it, it’s first flip tails.
Got that Mysti in my first packs and rerolled my account hahaha, I didn't knew about her, that sucks
I feel like just making misty give 1 consistent energy instead of randomly giving a bunch or no energy would make it less toxic
I actually really like the Charizard EX and Moltres EX deck, I win 80% of the time with it
Ive been running Venusaur and exeggutor ex combo. Definitely S tier in my book
Misty can give you 9 energy, but the probabilities are low. We remember it most when it works, but it is good to average MOST of the time. The probability of giving 1 energy is 50%. 2, is 25%. Higher than that and the chances are less than 15%. 4 energy, which is OP, only happens 6% of the time. It is an awesome card, but I think of it like "the card that gives you 0 to 2 energy"
Coming from other games, it's pretty amusing to see a tier list this easily agreeable on. Pocket is rightfully very easy to understand it seems.
Misty sucks tho. Like she is so bad for the state of the game right now
in retrospect this tier list is too funny
The most Misty heads I've seen somebody get in turn 1 was 13! 😂😂😂
It is ridiculous how every other trainer card has restrictions except Misty… and Erika.
Misty gets a lot of the attention due to the really good water Pokémon and of course, in the history of gaming, people LOVE doing damage fast. There is always an abundance of people who wanna be the damage dealer and not the healer/tank…
Enter grass Pokémon with Venusaur, Butterfree, x2 potions, and x2 Erika. It’s not flashy. It’s slow, but man unless you’re dealing high damage consistently, they’re going to outlast you.
Ultimately, I think it’s just what is available. Water have high damage units that can get online fast. Ironically though, the best deck is the Pika deck that comes online faster (pending coin flips and draws) and deals bonus damage.
I don’t know if the answer is change/nerf or wait and see how the game evolves.
Not only Brock and Lt Surge, Blaine and Koga are also very specific. However what about if instead of nerfing Misty (which I agree is probably the most broken card in the game) they buff the other trainer so any type has a broken card. At least everyone have fun and not only water 🤣
If Misty was just for Lapras, Golduck, and Starmie, I think it would be ok. Very strong but not broken. Enabling t1 Articuno is not healthy for the game and instant pop offs for stuff like kingler and blastoise is pretty much gg
I think the main problem with Zard is not requiring 4 energies to attack or even that it discards 2. The main problem is that is a stage two and if your Charmeleons or Zard are at the bottom you are simply too slow but that is a problem that affects all Stage 2 mons. I kind of wish they add a great ball to search for stage one and or ultra ball to search for stage 2 something like that. As of now I feel basic mons or some stage 1 will dominate the meta you already see Pika EX and Mewtwo EX winning tournaments.
Running misty feels like running a sheer cold :,)
Misty is no good for me. The only time I get heads on a coin flip is for who goes first - so the only time I don't want it.
I thought for certain Starmie or Mewtwo were gonna be the god tier, but not putting Mewtwo S tier is wild.
Agree misty turn 1 cheese is a thing but pikachu is the true god tier ex pokemon also winning tournaments
Gengar is a blast, and tends to cause Water decks to concede lol
The problem with misty, is how turn 1 works in this game. Normaly the 1st person play, and cannot use support. The 2nd guy can use support and gain energy but cannot attack. Right know except if u have a big support trainer to play, being 1st isn't a good thing
i’ve gotten 14 heads in a row with misty. it’s actually absurd
Misty is a lot of fun
I either get 0 energy or 4. Every time I’ve played, it’s been either 0 or 4
I've played 18 trainer Articuno games where my opponent will concede immediately if they don't stack 3 energy on their Articuno. I don't understand why they are even playing the game.
They're playing to win
Evil haha
There should be some downside to losing, or at least for conceding early. Like if you concede 3 games before turn 3 you should have to have a cool down or something.
@@MartyMeganiumfree wins though! Loo
I flipped 8 heads in a row with misty today
played against a marowak for the first time, read its attack, thought it was broken, and then he flipped double tails 3 times in a row causing me to win
Thanks for the video. ❤.
I am new to Pokémon. I used to watch the cartoon, but that was about it.
I rerolled on my account, got Mewtwo crowned, but that was it.
Should I reroll?
I'm all for just playing the game and not rerolling. You're just slowing your progress
Misty either hits 4 energy or it's a complete dud. But absolutly funny when it hits 4 times and the opponent scoops. Busted card for sure. It should errada to flip 2 coins attach a water energy for each heads. It would still be a strong card as it would mean 50% of the time you get 1 extra energy attachment. Flipping tails on the first coin doesn't feel as bad and I wouldn't be able to completely ready a Articuno or Blastiose with a single card.
I have had a decent success with arcanine ex deck with rapidash and moltres ex
I would make a D tier for Gengar ex because it's worse than the regular one, but I agree with the others, yep.
Also, Misty should be banned and "printed" again (keeping the original in the game but unusable).
MewtwoEX/Gardevoir is VERY strong, very intense pressure
Tier List. Tier List. TIER LIST!
Yeehaw
I once got an enemy misty who gave 11 energies to an articuno on the first turn of the game, make whatever you want out of this information 😂
Played against a guy who rolled 7 energy with misty first turn, it was so absurd, i was mad asf and laughing at the same time.
I ran into a marowak in one match and just got bodied, then in another they literally did no damage at all until I knocked it 😂
This Man in every card: "this one is a weird one" 😭
Ive been trying to get a venu ex but to no avail can't reroll now since i almost complete the pika deck I'm only lacking 2 zapdos ex (i got 2 normal zapdos tho 😂 and 1 immersive pika🎉)
They need to add a traditional battle mode. This new style is just way too casual and quick
I played someone who got 11 heads in a row recently, must be nice
Charizard being top tier rn👀
My problem with Misty is that she can make any water mon that needs high energy to perform an instant A/A+ tier. There should be a rule; only one Misty allowed per deck. This way, you at least have to use it strategically.
IMO Misty will be updated to only work on stage 2 Pokemon (Blastoise, Greninja, Omastar, Poliwrath). Then you wont get those game-overs on turn 1
Hey I think you might be slightly wrong on char. For him the real weakness is electric because char only come out at 5 or 6 energy to sweep your tank/ramp is moltres
The 1st turn ko with articuno has happened to me… multiple times
MaChamp sweeps a lot especially if set up in first 3 turns
I'd agree Charizard being in B tier until it's combined with moltres ex. Then definitely A tier.
The problem with fire is everything discards energy to do high but not critical damage for way too many energy requiring moltres to ramp up because if not you have no chance of getting 4 energy on centiscortch or charizard ex. Flareon doesn’t quite knock anything out for the same gambit with 3 energy and good luck with 2 energy ninetails knocking something out without getting yeeted first. If you do manage to get one of them going once it dies you wasted all your energy keeping it out unless you got good moltres rolls and can use two charizard heat clases getting 5 energy on him before bringing him out.
Feels like it’s the same deck as mewtwo ex but more conditional and if moltres had an ability from the bench to flip 2 coins instead of 3 and add an energy for each it would be a really strong deck but it having to be actively out there with a 2 retreat cost. Basically the deck suffers from needed too many energy from your pool.
Mewtwo is A because it’s the combo that makes it broken.
I have a super strong wigglytuff deck.
imagine if blaine affected arcanine. could hit that 150, would be fun with moltres.
Gengar's ability is great but not for a Pokémon that takes so long to set up, by the time you use it the opponent may have already used most of their supports 16:05
Do a Dragon TCGP tier list plz
