Yveltal is not a better Mewtwo. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Yveltal has dark patch support, has a X-Ball with 20 base damage, and not weak to itself. Its harder for most decks to respond to effectively and score a knockout. Normally when something is better in most or all ways, its widely considered better. Its like saying the Harrier is better than the F-22 because it can hover.
Ok? You quoted two of my points about OHKO decks being the norm in Modified since ages ago but didn't actually address the point at all.
I think I did. I would respect my friends input but it wont affect my deck choice. Perhaps techs though.
Whoosh.
You're literally saying that you primarily beat GG if they misplayed (forgetting to verify fighting resistance).
The misplay helped a lot but was not needed. Its always nice to not have a Pokemon knocked out, and your opponent flips over most of their prizes. Plus it was a spread deck with healing support. The deck also did not rely on abilities. It most cases, I used only 1 during the game, and that was when I can remove many Pokemon. Not saying I won every game against it but the match up was very favorable for me
I bring GG up because it's the sole example of a pokemon deck that was literally dominant for an entire season, being the #1 deck to play for Cities, States, Regionals, Nationals, AND Worlds in the same season.
Darkrai is doing this. Been dominant since HGSS, still dominat in XY.
No other deck that I'm aware of has ever been that much of a force.
Darkrai is still a thing... I want to say most older top decks that still float around
We've had other decks that were strong for a good chunk of a season but never ALL of it (also IIRC GG is the only deck to win both Nationals and Worlds in the same season?)
I could say Darkrai but yeah... You know.
The deck was ridiculously dominant, and honestly, if you really had such a great track record against GG, why didn't you win worlds? Should've been easy for you RIGHT? RIGHT?!!?!?!?! Lmao.
I dont have the opportunity to play in every tournament so I get to the ones I can. if I went to world, I dont expect it to be easy but I do look forward to favorable matchups. The question is what deck did you play?
