    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    For standard format? The most common one is Mega Turbo, but that only works with Mega Pokemon. Carbink BREAK for Fighting types. Oblivion Wing Yveltal for Dark energy. Lurantis GX from Sun & Moon for Grass Energy. This one would be rather deck & bench space intensive, but theoretically a...

    Standard Decidueye/Trevenant

    There are some decks where I do feel like Octillery is a sufficient budget-friendly replacement for Shaymin, but this really isn't one of them, in my opinion. In a Forest of Giant Plants deck, you really want that extra set-up speed that Shaymin brings. Also, once you get used to setting up...

    Standard Decidueye/Trevenant

    Upon thinking about this a little further, another idea would be to drop Trevenant entirely, use the space to focus on Shaymin-EX as your attacker. I know that sounds bizarre, but hear me out. You would obviously need DCE in this variant, but you could play less Grass as well. Play 3 or 4...

    Standard Decidueye/Trevenant

    A few thoughts. -I realize bench space is going to be invaluable to you, but I'd still heavily consider using Shaymin to help you get there. Realistically, you're not going to set up 4 Decidueye at a time every game anyway. Pieces are going to be prized & knocked out. 3 should be your goal, 2...

    Standard Gardevoir/Xerneas Deck

    Regarding your Sycamore/Energy question: Sycamore is definitely your premier draw card available at this time. It's unfortunate, because the card is so terribly frustrating, but there just isn't a good enough alternative out there. You might consider adding Mega Turbos, though, if you find...

    Standard Golduck (Sun and Moon)

    Hmm, I actually respectfully disagree with some of what rayquazatopaz34 said. I do think Silent Lab is valuable as a disruption tool, as so many decks are relying on Shaymin & Hoopa, if you go first and lay it down it may just buy you a free turn to get a jump on the prize exchange. He is right...

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    Cool to see (old) Great Ball come back, especially since the newer version hasn't gotten pretty much any play at all. New Item template looks pretty nice.

    Fall 2016 'Battle Heart' Tins!

    You have an interesting imagination :)

    Japanese 'Sun' and 'Moon' Expansions and Decks in December!

    Ugh. Was really holding out hope for a return to +10, +20, x2 weakness split. One can dream, I guess.

    Psychic resistance was removed from Colorless for balancing when it was added to Dark type.

    Standard Aegislash Ex/Vileplume/Bronzong

    I'm not sure I understand why you can't get hex chained. Can you explain please?

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Really cool card. One sorta silly use is: Near dead EX? Switch to Non-EX, auto-knocks it out, lose 1 prize instead of 2. Cool stuff.

    Standard Flame Storm (Delphox BREAK / Shaymin EX)

    Regarding TuxedoBlack's suggesting on the 2/2 split of the Delphox's, I tend to agree with him. I understand what you're saying about the Fates Collide Delphox being the main attacker, but Delphox XY has a pretty solid attack in his own right, and you should feel confident swinging with him when...

    Standard Flame Storm (Delphox BREAK / Shaymin EX)

    Maybe Entei from Ancient Origins (not the ancient trait one, but the other one)

    Standard Granbull / Cloyster

    Also in a deck already playing Red Card, if you add in Stadiums I'd put in 1 Deliquent as well. Red Card + Deliquent can cost your opponent valuable resources, but even more importantly they have to always maintain a 4 card hand otherwise you can leave them with 0 at any time. This has caused...

    Expanded Accelgor / Trevenant

    Believe me, I understand that. But not being able to attack with Mew is an inconvenience, whereas squaring off againt Virizion and/or Keldeo EX is game-losing. To be clear, I don't even necessarily think Silent Lab would win you those games, but I think its your best shot. I honestly don't...

    Expanded Accelgor / Trevenant

    I'm sorry, I just don't agree. I've played Accelgor variants for a very long time now and if there's one thing I've learned it's that when Virizion hits the board, you're in a very bad place. The inability to paralyze & poison ruins your damage output. Trevenant BREAK gets by on his own just...

    Expanded Accelgor / Trevenant

    You absolutely have to have Silent Lab in Expanded for against Virizion decks and Keldeo. Virbank is another great option.

    Expanded Ancient Trait Swampert/Seismitoad EX

    In your initial list, unless I've overlooked something, you're playing a 3/2/3 Swampert line with no Rare Candy? I'd also consider using DCE to get a possible t1 quacking punch if you go second. Regice/Suicune could also help in certain matchups.
