Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Flygon Delta EX

If you would like me to spam up another thread and shoot down every single off topic person down here, then I am more than willing to do that.
However, I am trying a more... diplomatic solution for once, to see if people are still going to overreact like blundering idiots if you talk to them like reasonable people.
So far the results are not very encouraging.

Flygon ex d is not a good pokemon. You guys are right, it beats Gallade. Now go face a Magmortar deck. Even if you use mew * (because SOMEONE is going to mention that as a "counter"), you will still not be able to take them out in one hiw, wheras they can deal alot more damage and hit your bench alot harder.

Using Vibrava SW sounds like a nice idea, but the Psychic/Fighting mix really isn't worth it since none of your other pokemon use fighting energy, and having that fighting energy and attacking early is key to Flygon going on a killing spree. In the end, it just isn't worth it for only a 10 damage spread.

if you would playtest with it you would realize two things: it doesn't have a bad magmortar match-up and the energy has never gotten in the way.
 
^Palkia lv. X is interesting but hurts consistency. I'm glad someone mentioned latilock, I applaud you for seeing it. :)

On a side note, I find it ridiculous that some fl players answer EVERYTHING with a simple "lol". It shows they can't argue w/ whatever idea they are trying to put down or defend.
Ya I find that funny as well. It is because they feel they are gods of the game and think they shouldn't explain anything. Their way or the highway.


But anyways, Latilock is sooo bad.....or is it?
 
Latilock is seeing less play thanks to whoever making this game putting the text
"Does 20-100 damage to one/any/two of your opponent's (benched) Pokemon"
On almost every card
 
latilock is how you beat magmortar

Healing wouldn't even do anything vs Flygon. You hit for 80, I heal for 20, I still die with the next attack.
Mag beats this because it deals just as much, if not more damage than it once they get started. And do you intend to spread damage with Vibrava? Lovely, Magmortar will happily spread damage while you do, and will do a much more effective job with it. Setting up a Flygon ex d will take more time than it will take for me to setup a Magmortar, and if I see a Vibrava, I will simply not drop another Magmar until I take its life. Crystal Beach is probably another one of your solutions to this deck, so let me get to that. It doesn't work. Magmortar isn't even going to bother going behind on prized. Why would they, they can deal as much damage as you, setup easier, and are much more effective bench damagers than you are. Flygon loses to Mag because it quite simply cannot keep up with him.

i stopped reading there.

this is why your BaF stuff don't mean **** to me.

After you hit everything with Vibrava for 10, and then Psychic Pulse that puts the Mags at 20. With Strength Charm that's a OHKO, which we played 3 of.

Please don't argue with me SPARTA something you haven't playtested. Or anything for that matter. Because your BaF scenarios are extremely flawed as you only speak out of your *** when you type them up.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

ya but, I don't wanna waste 2 slots for the lock....

you NEED it for the Magmortar matchup.

All I'm wondering is how you keep those Lati@s alive? Like if they got a LV X out your screwed. Although that is just 1 card in the deck.

I agree....


and FLygon can beat Magmortar, even without latilock. although it would be tough, imma test the latilock some more, I always seem to find him prized when I used him...

I think someone threw a wittle temper tantwum.

I did test the deck silly, I thought of this idea during cities. It folds to mag because THEY DROP DOWN A SECOND ONE AFTER YOU LOSE YOUR VIBRAVA. Magmar candy Magmortar Fire Starter Firse Starter Attack retreat/warp attack. And if I sacrifice 2 mags to take you out, I happily will do so, since I can set em up faster than you can knock em down. And if you do manage to get ahead, Scramble is always there to knock you back down to size.

Every time I read your posts, it makes me a little sad, since I know you are smarter than what you are saying, but you just won't learn to admit you are wrong.... *sigh* how disappointing.

You say I contradict myself.:thumb:

i was thinking the same thing since i first read on your post, except the smart part
 
You say I contradict myself.:thumb:

I said even if. Mag should always be ahead on Prizes due to it not being an ex, hence the "even if" part.
You ALMOST had a good arguement there, you have gottem better!!! I love coming back from a ban and seeing how much better everyone has got...

...ten... never mind, Chriscobi still quotes one part, posts one comment, and doesn't address the arguement.
I guess some things never change...

Incidently, I saw someone who posted Cresselia lv x with Flygon ex d somewhere, that could be quite a bit of fun to play.

you see, the thing like I've said a million times now is: I don't care about your back and forth scenarios. Although you may be from FL, your not a Pokemon God to predict how a game will go. You assume to much, and accomplish so little.

I do this and then you do that. Then I'll put this in my list so it counters what you did. Anyone can do that dude. You on the other hand should stop doing it. Because it'll never get you anywhere.

I don't know what list you have playtested with but the list we playtest have a 50-50 against Magmortar, that's all there is too it. If you have an auto win with your Magmortar vs. Flygon Ex d, congrats to you. I'll ship you a cookie next time I'm at the post office.

lol
 
not to get involved...
but didnt you (vegeta) say that its tipical of FL players to just type "lol" in there post, because they have nothing better to say twords the arguement?

it looks like SPARTA isnt the only would-be hipocrite?

\/ i should hope so, lol.

I hardly think of myself as a pokemon God, I am prone to making mistakes, as anyone can tell you (you seem to have a habit of replying to every single one of my posts everywhere, so you can clearly see this). If having a plan before you go into a match and still bieng able to work around it if somehting goes wrong seems like a bad idea, then you are a terrible player. Sorry if thats offensive, but if you few planning ahead and bieng prepared and still bieng able to work around a strategy as bad, then you seriously need to work out a few issues.

I do this and then you do that. Then I'll put this in my list so it counters what you did. Anyone can do that dude. You on the other hand should stop doing it. Because it'll never get you anywhere.

Really? Find me a place where I did this. Almost every Fire Truk list uses Delcatty ex, so if you count that as adding a tech, you are just bieng silly.

I don't know what list you have playtested with but the list we playtest have a 50-50 against Magmortar, that's all there is too it. If you have an auto win with your Magmortar vs. Flygon Ex d, congrats to you. I'll ship you a cookie next time I'm at the post office.

Chocolate Chip if you would be so kind. You're a peach, thank you.
 
i think it was on purpose, MoP

you got it bud!!!!
HI5!!!!


That Sparta dude is really silly!!!!
and dare I say...weird....

In all seriousness, The only problem I have with you Sparta is, your whole FL knows everything and everyone else knows nothing. You assume you are guaranteed to have 2 candies in your hand with 2 warp, a tsd, mag, and a scramble. You know what I am saying?
You seem to think that you will have EVERYTHING you need when you need it. I don't care how good ur list is or as good as you seem to think you are, but it isn't going to work like that.

I have addressed this point about twice now on this thread, so I will say it again.
If I do not have all the cards nessesary to deal with a situation, I will work around it, either by trying to draw into them, making due without them, or simply stalling for time and trying to get them. I won't always get everything when I need it, but by making my decks as consistant and powerful as I can, I can ensure that unless its something outrageous (ei, energy drawing 3 scrambles), I can either have a guarunteed way of getting it, or have very good odds on getting it.
Again, I won't always get the cards I need when I need them, but by using this organ i have in my skull, I can simply try to find another solution, and work with that.

If all else fails, I scream fire, turn over the table, and run out the building.
