Hello I am Ignatious, and this is my guide to building and playing a Darkrai EX/Hydreigon deck for the upcoming format. The deck was first accepted as a top tier deck after preforming very well in Japan. We managed to get a successful deck list, and we have a thorough understanding of the...

Would anybody be interested in me writing a detailed guide on how to play/build one of the top tier decks of the BR/Regs format? It'll be long and time consuming, so I don't want to do it if no one wants the help. I'd be willing to write it for any deck in particular.

I've tested this deck quite extensively. Online. In person. Skype. Solitaires. I've played it vs almost all decks that are widely accepted in BW - on. I'm going to refer to the deck name as simply "Garchomp" from here on out. Garchomp clearly has an inherent advantage against a few of these new...

First let me introduce myself. My name is Austin Reed and I've been playing this game since its release here in America. I'm not a well known player, I attribute this to my constant poor showing at nationals. Regardless, I have top 4ed worlds (seniors), top 8ed worlds (masters), top 8ed every...

So far 2 Durant decks have won, and a Landorus based deck won. Post any ifo you have for the decks that do well at these tournaments, but also let's discuss these decks! It appears everyone underrated Durant, and then underrated it again. Durant may be the best deck right now, and I haven't...

Which cards (basics) in the format stop pokemon from retreating? I know of only Spinarak and Sandile. Any others?

Hello Gymers this is my Top 8 regionals report. First off all, allow me to explain the format overview. When EP came out the only decks I had built were S1 rush and Reshiram Typhlosion. Eventually I built Gothitelle for a br just to test its legitimacy. I went 5-1 and dropped because I really...

White Out Hello Pokegym! With all of the new Black and White hype in our up coming HGSS-on, I thought it'd be a good idea to shed some light on the subject. I'll start off by discussing one of the most heavily hyped decks; White Out. But first, allow me to introduce myself. I am...

Does anyone know how many packs of cards are typically sold in a month-year? WHat about the past couple of years? It this number being affected by the current economical decline? If not, then could someone point me in the right direction?

Found out the answer. Please lock.

Think about it, they are both very strong SPs to consider in the up coming meta game. Assuming they are not used in the same deck, which would be the better play? Infernape 4 can OHKO almost every SP in the game. With the aid of a single Crobat drop, the only SP pokemon in the game that does...

The question is rather obvious, assumming Miasma Valley is in play to immidately place 2 damage on a Dialga PT #5 that is coming into play while an Ampharos PT #1 is in play, would the ampharos shut off the Dialga's power? Or would Dialga's power activate before Miasma Valley triggers?

My mother plays with these old dice with a somewhat destroyed dice container. I figured for the upcoming Xmas, I would purchase for her a new dice container with good dice, and hopefully find a way to add poison and burn markers that I could easily storage for her. The problem is, in my local...

1) If a pokemon such as Umbreon removes a pokemon's weakness, would that weakness still apply for Garchomp's pokebody? I would assume that the weakness is not applied, as the weakness is no longer there, however, the weakness is, and will always be, part of the particular card's anatomy, so...

Is it illegal to write adivce such as "Be Aware of Card X" where Card X is a card you normally forget about (Warp Point for me), or one that requires your deck strategy to alter (Dusknoir). Is it illegal to write things such as "Weak to Fire!" if you are using a fire-weak deck (Leafeon)?

The night before the tournament I had to leave school early right after I finished my OGT (Ohio Graduation Test), right around 10:00 AM. I say my good-byes to all the friends I wouldn't be hanging out with over the weekend, and texted those I didn't see. When I left the school with my mother, I...

Hello, I'm Austin Reed, some of you may have seen my name as the highest ranked US player at worlds last year, maybe not, but I'm still proud. I've been using G&G ever since Secret Wonders came out, I looked at the cards and saw some potential, so I threw the deck together. It was bad though...

As we all know, Pokemon is won by three forces, 1) the build of the deck, 2) the skill of the player and 3) luck. How much, as a percent would you say each contribute to winning. Explain your reasoning so that this isn't a poll.

I got my trip to worlds last year in 11-14 by getting top 4 in 11-14 worlds. I played in a few events all year and it was awsome not having pressure to get a trip in playing tournaments. This year, I moved up an age group, and was extremely nervous upon entering the event. I figured I'd go 0-X...
