Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Library of Competitive Decks: DP-UL *Updated with new sets and set abbreviation key!*

You are just jealous you didn't come up with the concept. If we could get some lists on there then this would be the most helpful thread on the gym and a definant sticky.

I agree. Get some good basic lists to go with each deck, and your looking at the single best feature for new players on pokegym. It's also nice to be able to easily get a basic list if you need something to test against.
 
Thank you for all your suggestions guys!

Editing in process..

(Sorry Alazar, I just needed that clarified, thanks!)

Darth Pika, Arceus 999: I would be happy for you to help write it!

This much better then the Archetype section because this gives a small report about all the decks that are invented. Not only the 2 or 3 popular ones in the Archetypes section. THis is much better and should be stickied.
 
I think it should be stickied because I've seen posts around that go something like "Hi, I haven't been around for a while. What are the current archetype's?" And they could be refrenced to this. I like the idea, although it'll have to be changed next format.
 
YES! Moth Balls should be added, 100%.

Moth Balls - Mothim/Gyarados/Unown P/Claydol
Unown P uses it's Put Poke-Power to Put Damage Counters on Mothim T2, doing 70 damage, and power up a Benched Gyarados by Putting on it. When Mothim goes down, Gyarados comes up for a counter KO. Multiple Mothims are nice, too. Claydol makes everything consistent and nice. You'll usually wqant 2 Unown Ps up for Gyarados, 20 damage on Gyarados a turn is nice. Mothim swarm is pretty fun, too. Mothim 2HKOs everything except Torterra Lv.X and Wailord, and who plays those? Better then T2 Banette or Quickitune IMO because it also has a heavy hitter (Gyarados). If you run into any rogue Infernape or Magmortar, Gyarados all the way. Finally, it has the ability to reuse Grass Energy - with Burmy Plant Cloak's Wear Cloak Poke-Power. It gets back Grass Energy from the discard pile, so TVR could actually be okay here. So, though rogue, Moth Balls, IMO, is a pretty good deck.

This needs to be added.

For Flygon ex d I would add Pidgeot d as a commonly run tech since it kills powers so well.

Dusknoir/Luxray = Hand Control ... I would add Milotic d as another commonly run card there.
 
I think this should be stickied. Even tough it's some minor errors around (like Empoleon MD; it focuses on Dual Splash, not Surf Together), this is great help for beginners and people who haven't played for a while.
 
Thanks everybody, I really appreciate your suggestions. Darth Pika: I will PM you about it later. When are your nats?

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

What is "the full and invincible power of the pixies deck"?

Thanks DarthPika!

I'll PM you then.

Heatherdu: I think this could be better than the Archetype & Standard forum because there are only about 7 or 8 threads there that are about decks that could actually be used in the current metagame. This library contains about 20 decks with suggestions and (coming soon) pokemon lines.

The "invincible power of the pixies" is in reference to AMU. Azelf, Mespirit, Uxie. Which is NOT a popular deck right now, because the cards aren't legal for US play. (They can be put in a different article for Japanese metagame.)
 
Thanks, but I'm only putting HP-MD combos up for now. When Legends Awakened is released in the UK/US I will put combos for that set up.
