Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

palkia lock skeleton and techs

^^ None of these are legit decks.

You make these awful decks up, give them silly names like Eggos and Palkiaplume and act like we are supposed to know what they are.

You don't play them in tourneys, but claim that you have experience with the decks and get them to work. A couple of games played out in your head or on RS against yourself is not 'experience'.

If you actually did have experience you would know that 'Palkia, Night Teleporter, Exeggutor, Vileplume, Luxray X, Dialga, Mesprits, Sableye, Mewtwo' is a disaster. If it was anyone else posting, I'd assume they were joking.
 
It was a fun deck.

Get over it. Besides, have you played the deck? If not, then your theorymon is less viable than my small amout of testing. It was a clunky deck, not too great, but pretty fun and crazy.
 
Sorry, I don't need to waste my time playing that to know it's bad.

A deck that is too clunky to pull off its strategy isn't 'fun' at all . . . just a frustrating failure. I mean . . .

When I played Eggos, I would use trainers first, THEN get up Plume, THEN Lost Cyclone the Plume away THEN use trainers.

Really? You think I need to test THAT???

I wouldn't care, but you are going into threads where people want genuine good advice and you make really misleading posts. You are a new Senior who has only ever played one deck in a tourney. You should listen and learn for a bit before you get so quick to hit the submit button.
 
You do realise that I CLEARLY mentioned I have no experience with Palkia Lock TWICE in this thread, right?

I gave him a build that would probably be my first attempt at a Palkia Lock build.

Um...I tested Eggos. If you are saying it's terrible, YOU shouldn't be making misleading posts and calling it trash.

And yes, it was fun. Psychic Strategy after a Night Teleporter=no hand for them, 6 or so cards for you. And they're powerlocked. It isn't that good, but maybe if you actually test it a little bit, then you can post here about Palkiaplume more. I haven't JUST tested Palkiaplume, but I tested them in a deck.

Once again, I have NO EXPERIENCE with Palkia Lock whatsoever. That list looks plain and simple, and I just wanted to give a sample list, or a "skeleton"; like what he asked for.

And once again, if you have no experience with a deck, dont give advice on how to play it. Ive skimmed over so many posts that you have made where you give out false information. I think you are probably suffering from "I got a front page article. I must be good." syndrome.

Yet you couldn't resist posting in a thread about Palkia Lock.

Which missed out a key card.

So I'm being misleading am I? So 'Eggos' ISN'T trash? Is THAT what you are saying?

There's no such deck as 'Palkiaplume', there's no such deck as 'Eggos'. They are just random nonsense that you have thrown together. Have you playtested them against good players with good lists? Have you used them in a tourney? If not, then you don't have any legit 'experience' with them either.

If by 'plain and simple' you mean 'I left out a crucial part of the deck' then, yeah . . . I guess.

I am not a good player. I don't think I ever said I was. I am decent; in the way that I actually know stuff about the game & how to build ok lists at times.

I never freaking said how to play it. I gave him a sample list, a nothing special Skeleton list that I would start out with (might change during playtesting).

Yet you couldn't resist posting in a thread about Palkia Lock.

Y'know, when you post something, and say "I have not tried the deck," isn't it kind of their fault if they think I'm good with the deck? I haven't played Palkia Lock, nor do I really wish to, but I posted a sample list that I WOULD play starting out.

Which missed out a key card.

Again, like I said, I didn't know Garchomp was the standard now.

So I'm being misleading am I? So 'Eggos' ISN'T trash? Is THAT what you are saying?

Not necessarily, but don't come in here and say how bad it is. It's ok if it gets going, and if you have no experience with it, then you're no different from me.

There's no such deck as 'Palkiaplume'yes there is, I've played it and now luxray master is going to play it, there's no such deck as 'Eggos'I'll give you that, I just built it for fun one night. They are just random nonsense that you have thrown togetherExactly!. Have you playtested them against good players with good lists?no Have you used them in a tourney?no If not, then you don't have any legit 'experience' with them either.

At least I have actually, you know, played a few games with it.

If by 'plain and simple' you mean 'I left out a crucial part of the deck' then, yeah . . . I guess.

Again, I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES IN A PALKIA LOCK DECK. That is why I didn't know CHomp was standard.

replies are in bold
 
Were you not around for PalkiaLock? It's ran Chomp ever since SV.

Hey Porii has already said like 4 times he didnt know that Garchomp C Lv.X was standard quit riding him, Jesus...

Nobody ran Garchomp until Kyle S. put it with Dialga G Lv.X at Battle Roads...
 
Not really relevant tbh. That Palkia Lock article was written over a year ago, before DCE was released. The author even mentioned that Chomp C + DCE would improve the deck . . .

Like DarthPika said, however, HGSS looks to give some serious help. Palkia/Garchomp (which also handles Luxray really well due to the non-X's 80HP) becomes a powerful sniping/locking deck with DCE, and Pixies can be searched en mass with Pokemon Collector. And Ninetails might help Fire decks enough to scare Dialga out of the picture (maybe, Dialga's good enough to handle a lot of Fire and Quagsire 2HKO'ing even Charizard makes it possible to easily win). I believe that Palkia will most definitely be better then, though. The format is just shifted against it for now.
 
If 'Eggos' is a good deck, why dont people play it?
In my perspective it sounds completely abysmal.

Yes, Palkia Lock has played Garchomps since the second DCE was released. Along with the majority of all SP decks.
Garchomp is played in Palkia Lock.

The only point Im trying to make is, you gave him a list for a deck that you made. And youve never played it before.
So dont do that.

I'm not saying it's good. Just don't say it's terrible without actually testing it.

*sigh* I'm sorry I gave him a list for a deck I haven't played. I made it absolutely clear to him that I have never played Legos, just some crazy Eggos deck that I made.
 
It was a fun deck.

Get over it. Besides, have you played the deck? If not, then your theorymon is less viable than my small amout of testing. It was a clunky deck, not too great, but pretty fun and crazy.

I just wanted to quote that exchange and help everyone else appreciate the IRONY of this:

Baby Mario is the 2010 THEORYMON champion and he's actually irritated with Porri for being sloppy about his theorymon.

Porri is claiming that the RealLife tournament (and THEORYMON) champion does not understand the game well enough to entertain the possibility of the slightly tested theorized deck being worthwhile/legit.

You just can't make this stuff up... :biggrin:
 
i played this deck for 2 seasons now, before DCE and after DCE release. garchomp makes this deck amazing. i found room for 4 sprays and 4 mesprits which many cant. i run 2-3 luxray techs in here one being promocroak the others something else. it just depends on your play style.

the deck, imo, is either bottom of the top tier, or top of second tier. there's always been a problem between running 2-2 or 3-1 palkia, personally 3-1 works better, cause luxray just seems to be every where. heck sometimes my list changes between 3-1 and 2-1 depending. only one problem with the deck, if you dont set up pgx in time u endup with pixies everywhere and no way to get them off the bench. at some point my bench looked like AMU set up all i was missing was mesprit and azelf x.

the deck is good with the right build, and a smart player. it doesnt allow for misplays because they usually cost you the game, even the small ones do. thats the only thing i need to say.
also if you can find room, you can run 4 crobat g, for the lulz.
