Misnos, I love you.

Also you should do a catcher vid with magboar, nothing different just reversals as catchers. Show people empirical data.

Also wanted to say if they reversal up an easy prize then when they get it just send your main attacker back out and ohko them back, seriously has no one thought of that?

Harder to do when it's Turn 2 and you have a lone Tepig and Magnemite (with, say, Cleffa active) and they just killed your Magnemite with their Donphan that you were going to Rare Candy into Magnezone to set up with. During late game your argument is valid, but when you set up before your opponent, and with Rare Candy nerfed, unless they have 2 of the same basic you just kept them from setting up. IMO, that's where the biggest danger lies.

And catcher makes a deck NEED to be able to recover not just fold if it can't which is the situation now, where is that 60 damage T10 nowhere, their speed isn't the end all be all when you have some power to do something.

This is the meta just accept it, play around it, like always.

That sentence was so convoluted that when I copy/pasted it onto Word, the whole thing had a green squiggly line under it. Again? lol
 
This thread is so annoying. Who cares how many games you "said" you played, while you are probably playing against the same person. Nationals has a ton of different players, with different plays styles, different techs, and different decks. No one can say what deck is good or bad when no one has played in a hgss-on tournament. Stop hyping decks and cards that is all this website does. It's really annoying.

I wasn't attempting to make fun of you or try to slide by an arguement.

I just found that part funny. I agree with your post entirely.
 
We actually have been playing more with catcher and the new cards proxied than anything else. I'll post something sometime this week with catcher. But I must say emboar loses saot of power with catcher. Running multiple Typhlosions allows you to retreat them if they are not OHKOd (only 2 retreat). Also catcher is a great defensive tool to bring something without energy up to stall if needed.

Also I'm not sure if you guys read on the Japanese sites often but Magnezone doesn't exist in their meta game, it's just too slow.
Really just Zekrom, Reshiram with Emboar or Typhlosion, Donohan with Yanmega or Machamp, Beartic with multiple techs, and Gothetelle are tier 1. But that's slot more variety than before.


Obviously we cannot base out meta on what they have done, but it would be foolish to not at least take note of their meta.
