So Metagross GX is becoming pretty popular at my local store, and across the meta in general. In a list that has so many slots filled by necessary cards, and very few flex slots available, I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts or ideas about how to effectively tune your deck to beat...

How's Golduck looking now that Guardians has been released? Still pretty item heavy but seems to match up fairly well to trade with Garbodor, is well matched up against Volcanion and Incineroar, but could struggle against the grass GXs. Think a 1-1 Flareon line is worth it for this reason...

Any reasons this wouldn't work? See anything I'm missing or another way it might work better? Any suggestions/advice is appreciated :) 22 4 Pikachu 4 Raichu XY 3 Evee 1 Flareon 1 Vaporeon 1 Jolteon 2 Combee 2 Vespiquen 4 Unown 8 4 Professor Sycamore 2 N 2 Lysandre 20 4 VS Seeker 3 Trainer's...

Again, very helpful! Thank you! I'm not sure this deck can work tbh. There might be just a little bit too much going on without enough room to fit everything in. I think I'd have to remove either all 4 Trainers Mails or the Puzzle of Times to fit in the extra cards to make the deck functional...

Very helpful, thank you! I could add a 2nd Enhanced Hammer in place of the 4th pokepuff, and Skyfield would make a lot more sense! Maybe I should try to find room for 2/3 Bursting Balloon for the Riolu starts? Better than exp share?

Anyone tried Fight Alone Lucario with Hammers? Just had the idea today and drafted up a quick decklist. Anybody tried this before or have any idea whether it would work or not? Pokemon 4 Riolu 4 Lucario 4 Talonflame Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums 4 Professor Sycamore 2 N 2 Lysandre 1 Team Flare...

Yeah the Acro Bikes haven't been that great. I've put the Lysandre and Ultra Ball back in along with an extra Revitaliser for them instead. So from the original list: -3 Acro Bike, +1 Revitaliser +1 Super Rod +1 Town Map

It's never going to be the best deck in the format, but it seems like a cheap and fun League deck. It hits the bench, so I think 3 Beedrills out at any one time is fine. You don't need all 4, though it would obviously be nice. You're quite right, both of those should be one ofs: -1 Lysandre...

What do people think about this? 4 Weedle 4 Kakuna 4 Beedrill 4 Talonflame 4 Professor Sycamore 2 N 1 Wally 1 Lysandre 4 Trainer's Mail 4 VS Seeker 3 Acro Bike 4 Level Ball 4 Ultra Ball 3 Exp Share 2 Revitaliser 4 Forest of Giant Plants 8 Grass Energy

Just posted my own Talonflame Break decklist, some of the ideas of which I'll share with you here too. Echoing what has already been said, you don't need the full 4-4-4-4 Talonflame line. I run 3-2-4-3 with 2 rare candies. I also only run 2 Winona and 2 Wally, and this tends to be plenty to get...

There was some discussion a couple of months ago about a Talonflame Break decklist. I've been working on the deck since then and it's looking pretty different from the lists in the previous thread. The deck is fast to set up, and can consistently output 150 damage by turn 2, and keep hitting...

I'm still working on this deck, and I'm just fine tuning numbers and filling flex slots at this point. I feel like 4-4-4-4 of the Talonflame line is necessary, and you probably want these to be your only Pokemon. Ideally I'd play 1 or 2 additional basics to reduce mulligans, and to give you...

Hey! I'm new to the Pokemon TCG, and I'm thinking about building Talonflame Break as my first foray into the new Standard format. It's super cheap, relatively fun and easy to play, and seems like a pretty ideal deck to get started with. Here's where I am currently: Pokemon: 18 4x Fletchling...

Hey! I'm new to the Pokemon TCG, and I'm thinking about building Talonflame Break as my first foray into the new Standard format. It's super cheap, relatively fun and easy to play, and seems like a pretty ideal deck to get started with. I currently have 2 slots lefts to fill, and would...

Ah, so there is! Still, the evolution ability was very useful and Battle Compressor was a pretty key part of the discard engine, so the deck seems a lot worse without those cards :( Could you recommend any other Vespiquen or Airiodas synergies I could build around? Isn't there a card that...
