    BW-on Durant

    I would consider: -4 Professor Juniper +4 Brigette Juniper is a bit too aggressive for this deck in my opinion. You really don't want to be discarding too many resources and this deck basically just requires Durant to set up. Sure, every remaining Brigette will essentially be useless, but...

    Need help on what to buy!

    If not spending a ton of money is a priority, then singles are most definitely the way to go. Honestly, sets these days are huge and the likelihood of you pulling whatever you needed/wanted is fairly slim. That being said, cracking packs is fun. If you wanted to buy sealed product Sun and Moon...

    need help with a Volcanion EX list

    Here's a good starting list to tinker with. Slight tweaks I would suggest to get you started: -1 Flareon EX +1 Volcanion EX -2 Shaymin EX +2 Float Stone -1 Switch -1 Professor's Letter +2 Energy Retrieval This is a Standard format build. As always, feel free to try out any ideas you may have!

    Casual/non casual Format ideas.

    Pairing it with Robo Subs/Fossils to try to never give up any prizes could be a lot of fun. Donphan isn't too great with Gust of Wind in the card pool, but that would be a non-issue for Shuppet! Might need to see if I have any of this Shuppet sitting around, haha.

    Casual/non casual Format ideas.

    We ran a fairly successful "pauper" tournament at League a couple of months ago. The rules were: 1. You can only run common and uncommon cards in your deck. Things like Full Art Lysandre and holo energy from older sets were fine since there are common or uncommon prints of them and stopping...

    Xerneas Break deck thought (and where is everyone?!)

    Congrats on the wins! Sounds like you guys have hammered out a pretty good list for her and changes you make will largely just be adapting to the meta more than anything. Keep up the good work! :thumb:

    [Standard] Raichu Deck

    Assuming you are going with Circle Circuit as your main attack/focus of the deck, this deck would need more basic Pokemon to more easily take advantage of Skyfield. Nine basics just barely gives you a full bench with Skyfield out. I don't think Mr. Mime is too useful in Standard. The two most...

    Xerneas Break deck thought (and where is everyone?!)

    I really like how you've stuck with the deck and tweaked it as needed! :thumb: This looks like a pretty solid build and you make good arguments as to why, or why not to, swap any card for another. I think squeezing in a Team Flare Grunt somewhere would be pretty good. It can often function as a...

    Xerneas Break deck thought (and where is everyone?!)

    Jirachi is a nice tech, lots of special energy played these days. It has seen a decrease in play since Pokemon Ranger was printed, but I have noticed a decrease in Ranger being played too. It's one of those cyclical cards, it's popularity and the things it counters will come and go. :rolleyes...

    Xerneas Break deck thought (and where is everyone?!)

    It seems like a fairly solid list with a good game plan, but I feel it needs a bit more draw power to run smoothly. I don't think Hydreigon is a good fit for this deck, largely because you probably won't lose the stadium war very often if you use Chaos Wheel to full effect. While Shred is nice...

    NXD+ Standard Water Box help

    There are a couple ways you could probably go about building it, but I think a decent starting off point would be: 3 Kyogre EX PRC 54 3 Primal Kyogre EX PRC 55 2 Manaphy EX BKP 32 1 Glaceon EX FCO 20 1 Regice AOR 24 1 Articuno ROS 17 2 Shaymin EX ROS 77 1 Hoopa EX AOR 36 4 Professor Sycamore 2...

    Help me Make a Stratigey

    It would really help to know the set and collection number for the pokemon you listed. For example: Shaymin EX - Next Destinies 5/99 is a lot different than Shaymin EX - Roaring Skies 77/108 is a lot different than Shaymin EX - XY Promo XY148. Clicking the "TCG Search" button at the very top of...

    Mewtwo EX List?

    Assuming you are building it for Standard, a decent starting point: 4 Mewtwo-EX BKT 62 3 M Mewtwo-EX BKT 64 2 Trubbish BKP 56 2 Garbodor BKP 57 2 Shaymin-EX ROS 77 1 Hoopa-EX AOR 36 4 Professor Sycamore 2 N 2 Lysandre 1 Ninja Boy 1 Pokemon Ranger 4 Ultra Ball 4 VS Seeker 4 Trainers' Mail 3...

    New to pokemon - help with mega alakazam ex deck

    If you were to play Mega Alakazam in the current Standard format, it is worth mentioning that this deck has a horrible matchup against Mega Mewtwo/Garbodor (a deck that will likely be heavily played). One bad matchup isn't reason enough to not play a deck, but just keep in mind that it will...

    Am I the only one that wants Pokemon Sun and Moon to be hardcore?

    Because Gen 1 was quite a different beast compared to newer games. More power to you if you managed to get through the Elite Four and your rival the very first time you ever challenged them, most people were not able to do that. My point is: Once upon a time, when you entered a cave (or any...

    Am I the only one that wants Pokemon Sun and Moon to be hardcore?

    I wouldn't mind the games being more difficult. It seems the main story gets easier and easier with every release. There are waaay too many places to heal your Pokemon these days and compared to your Pokemon, the level of opposing Pokemon is quite low throughout most of the game. The original...

    First time playing since the early 2000s...

    100 damage is fairly decent, but there are currently decks that can hit for 180 to 200 damage fairly easily on the first turn they can attack. A few Pokemon these days even have more than 200HP. Those are pretty high hurdles for older cards to clear. I'm not saying they can't do it, but rather...

    Pokemon Go Catches

    The last interesting thing I caught was a Jigglypuff. I don't find very many of those unfortunately. I'd really like to get a Wigglytuff one of these days!

    What are the hot cards nowadays?

    The Hoopas, Darkrais, and the Zoroark are the most sought after of the cards you have. Shaymin EX from Roaring Skies is the most sought after card from the XY sets. Full Art Professor Sycamore from Steam Siege is in high demand as well. Most other things people are interested in are secret rare...
