The fossil cards have a really interesting effect on deck building - fossil being a trainer means it doesn’t count as an opening basic, so you can guarantee a given basic while still running another set of Pokemon. Although fossil not being searchable by pokeball is a big downside.
I've been using this with an omastar + starmie deck and a kabutops + marowak deck and it's been pretty good. Setting up an omastar stalls so many setup pokemon like moltres or Lilligant
Great video. I agree with the lower basic count being how the game should be played currently. Seen some other creators bashing the idea and coping with like 8 basics.
Changed my m2 gard deck to 1-2-2 ralts line and gotta say, it does feel optimal right now. Every pokeball feels so good! Ralts is much bigger target when there’s only one of them in the deck but I largely have not found games going in the direction of early KOing of ralts.
I agree with almost everything you said in this video. But I also do think people are playing too few basics. Like, in the mewtwo gardi deck I'm playing Jynx instead of red card (cause red card sucks and is a trap) so that I'm not all in on mewtwo and have a finisher in case it goes down. In general there also aren't enough good trainer cards to justify 2 pokemon with a bunch of support.
Would be awesome to see them implement a 1 EX card max limit to decks. The double Mewtwo EX deck is absolutely busted right now. Seeing 9 out of 10 decks use it is sad for the game.

You can just buy trainers in the shop, I'm f2p and I just bought all the trainers with the shop points you get from battle and wonder trade thanks and the solo battles
@@jasonjarmoosh thanks for advice. Bought 2 sabrinas. Unfortunately I didn't know better and had spent a good amount of points buying pokemons so I am all out 😓

great to see solid deckbuilding principles explained! been seeing way too much vibes-only deckbuilding elsewhere
1-2-2 line works well for non carry pokemon. but if you are a non ex deck with two carrys in deck. you really need access to both of them.
I am surprised they didnt add rare candy into the game considering that card is like the only thing keeping stage 2 evos viable in the tcg

Hopefully they add some better deck searching later on to make more stage 2 Pokémon viable.
Do you have any tips for building decks with incomplete beginner collections where you rarely have 2 of the better/ higher rarity cards?

Exeggutor EX and Venisaur EX deck from spragels is doing me very well
I'm surprised pocket doesn't have minimum limit for monster card. I can do two zapdos only deck lol
Loved the vid concept 👍🏻

Me who is waiting for 30th October 🥲
if you want to be f2p u shouldnt, i was, downloaded it yesterday, it gives you nothing, im runing a sad thunder deck with what i got.
As f2p, I don't have any trainers except research. So I am forced to run pokemons to reach 20 cards.
Then u should play fire deck and open chariZ packs, that way u xan get Blaina and Sabrina.
