Its real weakness is Starmie, which is necessary for energy recycling. Once your opponent Lysandres Starmie, your in-hand energy is unreliable.

even though

I wouldn't call that "cheating". And winning due to "advantage" is part of the game. People who can't afford expensive cards are also at a disadvantage. People who have less experience are also at a disadvantage. Pirates are also at a disadvantage (hook hands). Don't get me wrong, I'm not...

Garbador is a card to be reckoned with. I have lost multiple matches to him already. But what are you gonna do? If you don't run item cards, your deck is too slow and you lose. If you do run item cards, Garb smacks you down with one energy, especially late in the game w/12+ item cards in...

Pokemon Ranger already works well in Volcanion decks as a way to let the same Volcanion-EX attack twice in a row w/o benching him. Wouldn't hurt to have an extra, or discard one so that you can VS Seeker it later when you need it against Flash Ray attacks.

VS Seeker will be a HUGE loss as it is integral to almost every successful deck type. It is one of (if not THE) most useful card in the game right now. How many games have been won or lost by VS Seeker/Lysandre or VS Seeker/Prof Sycamore or other combo. This will be the card I miss the...

That's what I was thinking. Building a deck around this Gyrados would have 2 issues: > Getting 3 magikarps into the discard pile w/o Battle Compressor > Once Gyrados is knocked out, you can't set up a 2nd one because all of your Magikarps are in the discard pile. You could put them back in...

The original post was regarding "competitive history" and there was a time when Mr. Mime wasn't banned.

Base set Alakazam and Jungle Mr. Mime. When your opponent can only do 20 damage or less per shot (and can't do any damage if their attacks do 30 or more) thanks to Mr. Mime's Invisible Wall, and Alakazam can swap it away to a high HP Poke, it makes for a lot of fun (and a frustrated opponent)...

Doesn't Latios EX open the same possibility? I am wondering about Pinsir now myself.

Draw a Wobuffett on your first draw, carry multiple Hex maniacs, or get yourself a good Fire-type deck. I love this game, and I respect a good item-lock deck, but when your opponent easily has a stage 2 Decidueye and a stage 2 Vileplume turn one, and you haven't played a card yet, it takes...

If Sylveon GX sees a lot of use, its GX attack is really gonna hurt Turbo Darkrai.

You could be right. I haven't been able to get Yveltal/Zoroark or Yveltal/Garbador to work as smoothly as I hoped. And beating Yveltal/Garb has not been too difficult.

I prefer Yveltal-EX, at least in Expanded play. With Dark Patch, Max Elixir, and combo'd with Yveltal's Oblivion wing, he powers up quickly. Yveltal-EX has been my favorite card since it was released, and still is. In Standard play though, Yveltal-EX doesn't have enough support right now...

Yes, of course PIasma badge, otherwise it would be useless. ONLY use the plasma cards for speeding up energy delivery. This isnt' a "plasma deck". Winning about 75-80% against most decks. Only run 6 poke's w/lots of room for trainers. Night march makes me cringe. It sets up so fast. Sorry...

I keep 3 lysandres and 2 VS seekers just to combat Donphan, though it helps in other spots too.

I run a YveltallEX speed deck w/plasma energy and colress machine. The only deck I hate playing against is Night March.

Can Giratina EX cause damage to Pyroar with its Shred attack?

RE: Seismitoad EX Potential and Possibilities Yeah, I was just thinkin about it. Curious why blend/rainbow wouldn't activate Victreebell's "Wafting Aroma" though.
