Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Why Garchomp wont survive.

I don't see many Porygon-Z's around here while he can sweep easily without having to discard anything to hit for super-effective damage. And the flipping won't be too much of a deal since it can do a mere 80 damage for 1 right flip with Lake Boundary.

You are aware of the fact that Garchomp KO's Porygon Z with one fighting energy... right?
You have a 50/50 shot of killing them, they have... a 100% chance of killing you.
I bet on them.
 
A stage three could survive, yes. Good thing Garchomp uses Plus Power to score kills on things like Gallade, so it can still die.
 
yeah, do you realize how hard it will be to build a garchomp deck? there is the simple problem that you have to (essentially) get out a stage 3 pokemon, and discard a whole bunch of random pokemon that dont add to you actually getting out garchomp. The fact that there are too many cards that veer from actually getting out the darn thing is ridiculous. We'll see how you like it when you're getting nothing to help you get out garchomp, and drawing blastoise d that you only need AFTER getting garchy.

i updated the little thread thing so i dont sound as stupid as i was 3 days ago, by the way.

I think Garchomp could do fairly well.
It would be tough to get a consistent list, but it could be done.
As for "you have to discard a bunch of random stuff that doesnt help set up Garchomp", whats that supposed to mean?
You telling me that TVR and Felicities discarding my pokes and energy with maybe Delcatty as support over Claydol isnt going to help set me up at all?
Our very own MadHatter made quite the working Chomp list, so I am confident that it could be done.
 
3-2-3-1 Garchomp/Garchomp X
2-1-2 Togekiss GE
2-2 Claydol GE
2 Ho-Oh
3 Pachirsu

that would make the most sense since Ho-Oh benefits form X as well as chomp does form itself,and togekiss is just a burst for setup. I mean thats how I would play it
 
Read Glaceon. Then count the number of Cess happy Empoleon people here. Then realize you are gambling alot of energy on a coin flip when it needs 6 energy to outdamage Chomp if he his a weakness. He isn't worth it.
Stoise is for shard, basically.
Not to mention a certain colorless friend of ours is going to come back with a vengence <_<.
 
Blissey is no friend of mine. I don't know what you're talking about SPARTA. That card needs to go away.
 
Blissey wont come back with a vegenance just for the simple fact its gonna be a better pool of cards to choose from,yea its a 130 hp stage 1 that can attack for 1,but like u said emp would be better since it snipes,ape can do 120 for 3,eeveelutions will see play and if theirs a major decline in magmortar,then sceptile variants with leafon will be somewat popular,yea i understand what your saying tho.
 
Blissey is still an amazing card, and can combo VERY well with Leafeon. Imagine dropping two Boost's onto a Blissey out of nowhere and just wrecking your opponent's face. Blissey also gets energy from the discard, something of which works well (since Leafeon cannot get energies from the discard).

The sheer damage Blissey can do combined with a decline in the only deck that really stopped her from seeing play (GG) means she will be very powerful. And definatly worth teching against.
 
Yea,but how fast would it be to setup a blissey/leafeon over banette or emp/cess or gg still??(im meaning this format)
 
Blissey is t2...bannette is pretty dead really. It couldn't beat magmortar, so why on earth would it beat empoleon/lutions/other new decks?

Because Empoleon and Eeveelutions do not heal every turn.
Empoleon should win against Banette but Eevee can be beaten.


btw Garchomp doesn't lose to Blissey, no matter the weakness.
I faced several Blissey decks with three different Garchomp versions at tournaments and I won all the games. But of course, things may change if Lv.X Garchomp hast x2 weakness and Blissey gets support from Leafeon.


Ho-oh is nearly useless in Garchomp because Garchomp needs less energy to do good damage and Ho-oh could get very bad in MD anyway. Glaceon Lv.X OHKOs it and blocks the power, and Empoleon beats it, too.

But I don't see Blastoise d to be good as tech in Garchomp either. If you sacrifice a turn and leave Garchomp Lv.X open to be attacked, you want to have a strong hitter and not a Pokémon that just lies on the bench (making the deck even more vulnerable to Dusknoir!) and maybe doesn't need the energy attached.

thats the only thing it had trouble with,and when teched and played right,it could beat magmortar. Yea Blissey is T2,but so is Banette and it has damage output over it.

Yea Leafeon would be a nice addition to Blissey,but then it could just be another variant that didnt excel after it was thought of.Yea Emp can snipe,but a teched Dugtrio CG and sniping becomes useless and inefficent,Banette dosent run off powers,so Glaceon body means nothing and then still the teched Dugtrio is stoping that extra 20.

Really,we'll just have to see how the rest of the season works out.
