TRUK, TRUK, TRUK, and more TRUK!

What is it!? What is the infamous "TRUK engine"?

Jason · 10/17/2007, 07:41 PM

G'day Pinsur, the turk engine is

4 Pokeball
4 Potion
4 Switch
4 TV Reporter
4 Castaway
and random stuff.

GL on improving it, not all can be the same but this is the basic version of the TRUK engine.

Yes

Crosplat · 10/17/2007, 07:49 PM

Pokéball+Potion+ a little imagination= A very amazing deck. It is unbelievable, indescribable, and jaw-dropping. Or is it?

pichu bros. rox · 10/17/2007, 07:50 PM

There is no TRUK engine. Go ahead and put some trainers in your deck and call it a TRUK engine. Then you'll have a TRUK engine.

dont ever listen to this little nasty furret aka PSYCO829. Whatever I listed and the reply from THE FT.LAUD.LOUDMOUTH is very accurate and true.

Potions is there so you never die.

Pinsir52 · 10/17/2007, 08:27 PM

Ok, so potion makes Blissey even more invincible, but why pokeball? POKEBALL, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Knock it off you two....

*Lawman* · 10/17/2007, 09:13 PM

the Dodge TRUKs use a HEMI engine I hear.

Pinsir52 · 10/17/2007, 09:18 PM

Wow. I don't understand how decks with 4 pokeball are winning tournaments!

Absoltrainer · 10/17/2007, 09:40 PM

Listen Pinsir52, Jason is being an idiot, and HE FT. LAUD. LOUD MOUTH can't control himself. Ignore them. There is not specific engine for EVERY TRUK deck. I would assume that each one has a different trainer line, that may be similar in some ways. Even if there is one specific one, it would not be the ones posted in the last few posts.

thechubbss12 · 10/17/2007, 09:50 PM

LOL... the TRUK engine is what ever trainer engine you build that wins you a torney....

and No... only the Japanesse play Pokeball..... Seeing as they have mad "I always get heads" skills

Dodge TRUK = Blissey/new Jumpluff? haha

Mew* · 10/18/2007, 03:26 AM

No deck should ever play PokeBall. Victory Medal is superior since for the same odds, you get a choice of ANY card in you deck, including the pokemon. If there is a TRUK engine it probably plays NO POTION, NO POKEBALLS, but maybe Pokedex Handy 910is and posssibly Pokenav. Even more likely it plays Castaway + Tools.

Those are all just a little bit wrong. Do some play testing of your own instead of harassing US players and lurking the Gym and maybe you'd have a better idea of what's in these decks. Maybe you'd even find a new combo of your own?

pichu bros. rox · 10/18/2007, 05:48 AM

I can guarentee you the Moving TRUK one is wrong. Try 1-1 Kid/ Buzz for a 1-1 Blissey

PokeBall has a 50% chance of getting you any Pokémon.
Victory medal has a 50% chance of drawing a single card.

Victory medal does have a 25% chance of searching for any card which makes up for the rubbish 50% single draw. However I'm not sure that you can conclude that Victory medal is better than PokeBall.

As to the whole TRUK thing with so many TRUKs it seems like the word TRUK has become meaningless and is just a synonym for DECK :(

How are the odds 50% to draw a single card?

NoPoke · 10/18/2007, 09:31 AM

Victory medal says flip two coins...so four outcomes

TT : Fails!
TH : Draw a card
HT : Draw a card
HH : Search for any card and then shuffle.

Two of the possible four outcomes are draw a single card. Which is 50%

Croatian_Nidoking · 10/18/2007, 09:40 AM

From what I understand, your average Blissey-combo deck tends to use Castaway, Quick Ball (and sometimes Great Ball), Holon Mentor, Night Maintenance (and TSD if you have it), sometimes Pokedex Handy910is, Plus Power (seemingly a must in almost every deck), and your favorite Pokemon Tools (usually Strength Charm, although Cessation Crystal could be used in Blisscario and Pure Bliss decks) as Trainers and often abuses the Holon Energies (especially FF+

and WP+

).

The purpose of the deck is speed. The Trainer engine can also be used in similar stage 1 decks, such as Kricketune and the upcoming Eeveelutions deck.

But don't take my word for it. Build a deck, test it in League and/or on Apprentice or Redshark, and tweak as needed. That's how good combos are born.

My god you're right, I thought jade figured it out for a second. BTW, normal truk isn't blissey. HB never named their T2 blissey deck.

Ardoptres · 10/18/2007, 10:17 AM

No love for WP + Psychic?

I run:

4 FF
6 Fire
3 WP
3 Psychic
2 Water
4 Boost
