Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

T-Tar, Pretty Boss...

Poke Healer + removes 8 damage counters AND I can drop one if I want to remove a special condition.

Felicity's gives the deck draw power when power locked or need the extra cards.

Blissey is another two cards I'd have to search out and evolve, taking away from searching for another T-Tar to get ready. It's also another easy prize for Gengar. To match Healer + and Felicity's, I'd have to use the power 8 turns in a row and I would still get 0 draw power from it.

If T-Tar wants to survive in the meta, it has to be faster and focus on T-Tar, not setting up techs. It's enough setting up two stage 1's and a stage two by T3.

Before you say I "run my mouth" you might want to actually acknowledge that T-Tar loses to Hippowdon, what's going to be a very, very popular deck. I'm sorry, it just happens to be a rock-paper-scissor environment. And no, T-Tar doesn't have the best HP/Damage Output for a stage 2. Floatzel/Kingdra does.
 
HaHaHa floatzel/kingdra?!

Ttar's 120 is MUCH more consistent than Kingdra and I said "without having to lv. up."
 
K, have fun with it. Tyranitar isn't beating it, but you just want to sit and laugh. I could name many other decks that could beat Tyranitar.


Also, 120 for 5+ Energy more consistent than 60+20snipe for 1? olololol

not to mention its impossible to get rid of kingdra with floatzel on the bench
 
Spinning Tail destroys kingdra. 50+150 > 60+20. Not to mention that the second ttar will be grinding KOs left and right. I haven't lost to Kingdra yet. Sure, keep the card after I KO it. That still doesnt increase your damage or HP.
 
Aperson - My brother played Austino's list in a Battle Road and won it. Tyrannitar is still a beast - he played it to win the Dialga G matchup. Tyrannitar gives alot of decks problems. It's only real concerns at the moment are Machamp and Rampardos.

Oh and with Pokehealer - it's autowin against Kingdra. Using both my sets, I have 4 spinning tails to use. 120 damage to everything, and by that time I have one on my bench ready to do that final spinning tail.

Blissey in an ideal world works great in Tyrannitar, but I already have to set up Claydol, Weavile and Tyrannitar by T3 latest or get outsped.
 
I won London States with T-tar, beating Machamp in top 2.

It is definitely tier 1 for DP-PT, but RR Hippowdon and Lucario hurt it. Not saying it can't win now, but the new set makes life a bit harder for T-tar.

lololol, youre using 2 attacks compared to one of kingdra's

you can just poketurn the floatzel

it will outspeed you
ko's against it don't matter
 
^ No hes not. hes saying Spinning Tail does 50 to Kingdra granted it has at least 2 spec darks and then 30 to all of the bench unless thier playing a manectric tech. :lol: ROFL You get what im sayin

Play-Doh(PalkiaZam) is yet another one to rack up on T-Tars list of bad matchups, but it can still rock alot of decks.

^it's a bad one but not terrible. just attach 4 SP darks (darkrai) or 2 SP darks and 3 basics and you OHKO everything in play-doh. might be hard to pull off, but once one iece of that goes down, the rest follows.
 
Considering T-Tar can manhandle SP's pretty easily, I broke down and put in a 1-0-1 tech that KILLS Machamp, Blastcatty, Gengar, Dusknoir, and most importantly, Flygon.

OMASTAR

Yeah! Now, all I have to do is ht one or two Spinning Tails then drop it and finish everything off.

I was originaly against it in a speed build, but it really is worth the edge over Machamp/Rampardos, which tend to use up rare candies fast.
 
Grind variants would focus more on a Darkrai Lv x Tech that turns all dark into special dark...so that 5 basic energy does 150 damage to the active with grind.

Trust me, its really not that bad when you have to find some way to one shot an angry Ttar that can one shot every thing in your deck. :wink:

Not when I play a blissey tech and 4 poke healers. Ttar should be out by T4 at the latest and if you play flozel then unless you get lucky kingdrra will be able to get out T2 or 3 but that donk will problay rarely happen I'm sure. You put 5 energy on one ttar and start powering up the other one and with your powers by the time the first one dies I hsould have at lest 60 on everything if not more. I could just spread one more time and get a few prizes of claydols and uxies and uyour kingdras have 40 health left unless you use SSU. None the less by the tiem the first ttar dies enough spread will be in play for a ttar to one shot everything for only 2-4 energy which is not hard to get in play.

Ttar is a really good deck but it has a few bad matchups like champ but it can easily win all of them.
 
Ok, my brother wanted a T-Tar deck, but didn't have Weaviles, so we threw him together a list with togekiss and darkrai.

Holy crap.

It's actually good. He won the first game thanks to energy pickup and level max. We put 16 basic dark in the deck, 4 felicity's, and 4 energy pickup, and a 1-1 darkrai.

He was OHKOing T-Tars for only 5 basic energy and spinning tail-ing for 80-30. I can't believe the deck actually got setup two games in a row. Luckily, I came back and won game 2 thanks to healer+ and two heads on endless darkness.

Here's the list I threw together for him:

3-2-3 Ttar
2-1-2 Togekiss
1-1 Darkrai
1-1 Claydol
1 Azelf
1 Unown G

3 Bebe's
3 Roseanne's
1 Lux Ball
4 Rare Candy
4 Energy Pickup
1 Warp Point
2 Level Max
2 bts
1 NM

16 basic energy

I honestly didn't think it had enough draw power, but it did, and actually setup by T4 both games. I had solid setups both games and still had trouble keeping up with the damage it was doing.

EDIT: Game 3 was a disaster for him. Horrid misplays and having bad choices for active cost him. I don't think I'd recomend the list unless you're pretty lucky. He did get 5 energy on T-Tar in one turn, but I had already set up and did Spinning Tail once, so I just grinded for the KO on his only fresh ttar.
