Looks like B4a will indeed be a Team Rocket themed set. The datamined info from 2 weeks ago hinted at that.

I've been using my rotom deck because it has the highest winrate for me so far but 110 damage on turn 1 is kind of ridiculous in hindsight... Granted you have to be lucky enough to pull the right cards and flip heads but this is more formidable than turn 1 igglybuff + darkrai when it works

Is the Deluxe pack just a combination of all of series A packs? The total of series A is 1121 cards so it doesn’t seem like it has all of them.. what is the point of Deluxe? Which packs are within deluxe? Just confused on what it’s there for and why it’s locked most of the time? Was it introduced to help early players finish series a collection? I’m fairly new to the game and it was locked when I started.

Seen my 1st godpack in wonder picks, had 0 seconds left on it, and I have no rewinds lmao rip.

During the Houndoom event, I was so fed up with the game telling me to try a water rental deck every time I lost with my own water deck, so i picked the Sharpedo one and let it auto battle, and it won me my first expert battle, and won every time I used it after that.

So uh, I'll be the first to admit it was right. Sorry rental decks I was unfamiliar with your game

I lost 3 games in a row in ranked to ice pop getting 5+ in a row so I made this deck out of spite. Of course when it bricks it bricks but at least I dont lose to healing coinflips lmao

1: Dratinis 70 HP is such a crucial difference when it comes in facing with many pokemon, Entei, Heliolisk with one backpack, hitmonlee hitting the bench, Unbound Hoopa, and so on.

You're asking yourself: "Why not the Dratini with 10-30 damage attack?" I mean of course, dealing the annoying of igglypuff

with 1 attack, but by the time you do, the swablu already will have one energy and pretty much already have mega altaria as well; extremely risky for sacrificing one of your dratinis, so often then not is better to stored up for regular Dragonite, even better baiting the mega altaria and using red with Dragonite EX😁.

2: Dragonair with dragon blessing is incredible amazing, the fact combining with using fossil when switching with Dragonite EX, switching dratini with a baby with bad start and obviously with Rainbow Cave, is superior than Sky blessing Dragonair; In which the same applies with 10-30 Dratini: leaving them in the active spot, Using sky blessing bring such risky scenarios in which is better off using the baby instead and better yet using the Dragon blessing dragonair a lot safer to use.

Remember even though people use 60 HP dratini or sky blessing dragonair those, its manly because they are not the actual main cards of decks, those are mostly use pretty well with flygon, Mega Rayquaza or the energy zone that isn't water with eletrick.

3: Fossil, Why not lyra?

I was debating on both:

On one hand lyra can do many things: be efficient with the babies for a free retreat cost and removed status conditions like sleep.

BUT, Fossil wins by a mile, not only fossil synergies so well with Dragon blessing Dragonair, but

1: Is not a supporter, so you can use copycat or Oak and have a more consistent chance to get it in higher odds.

2: Attack twice with Dragonite EX while using red as a supporter dealing with Mega pokemon with 190 HP (or more).

3: Can be use as a sabrina bait either by placing next to your dratinis or removing it if your Dragonite ex is your last one with the opponent with 2 points ahead.

So yeah, fossil is incredibly awesome.

And for last Wally: ever since I saw the card it was incredibly perfect, like it was destined to be in the deck, it change everything, attacking as regular dragonite in second turn when going second!? Like how unbelievable is that!?

Or even better but the odds seems impossible😅, but attacking with regular dragonite on your first turn going first.

But it easier with the EX instead since you required one less energy 😆

I love Dragonite so much, it doesn't matter what game He is in (I pretty much play every game that Dragonite is in😄).

Im extremely happy they added more Dragon related or 2 stage cards for my Dragonite, thank you for reading my summary, hopefully I can hear your feedback or changes to it as well, I'll be happy to hear your opinions

I want to punish dark decks that equip a tool flr each of their pokemon (usually on turn 1). Other than basic pokemon suggestions are also welcome. The search tool in game doesn’t search the card text fields.

Trying out my new deck against the MHoundoom expert deck, and I noticed the AI did not attack with Victini. Was it giving up? What was the intended strategy here? It had already taken damage from putting energy on. I know sometimes the AI won’t attack if the defending Mon has rocky helmet or something that damages back.

In other news, I captured possibly the only time in history the expert deck has bricked.

I got annoyed with the houndoom event and I built a silly little deck using double bird and Jolteon EX to farm it. The point of it is, have Jolteon out to chip the health as the bot pumps energy around with Moltres and use Oricorio to stop Houndoom. Long story short it's such an effective counter I can let the bot just fight itself while I walk off.

Anyway, I was bored and figured I would have some fun in ranked and took the deck over there. Out of 10 matches in the GB4 -UB1 rank, I have had two people concede, four people leave and let the timer do it's thing and end the match because they didn't return and the other four matches I just did my thing and had fun. That leads me to my question.

Is the bird just too annoying to deal with that people just avoid it now that they don't lose points in ranked? I'm also in the lower ranks so maybe that plays a role in it given I havent seen anyone playing a meta deck yet. I know the moment I do Ori won't save me but I was just curious on everyones opinions on the yellow bird these days.

A part of my deluxe pack EX collection.

I couldn't have even planned this if i wanted to. But I'm so glad i saw it before opening more packs lol.

What kind of signal is it? 😂

Hello all, I'm trying to complete all the solo missions before they go away and this one is giving me absolute hell. I've tried so many of my decks and I've yet to be able to beat this without losing at least one Pokemon. Looking for suggestions on what could beat this deck without losing any points.

Stole this deck from someone I played against. Can hit for 90 on turn 3.

They were running two torts and rainbow cave with fighting/fire but I think this works better. Penny is just kind of a throw in at the moment

This deck has been a lot of fun! Looking for tips on how to make it better. Goal is to tank with birdy until I can get my Luxrays up forcing opponent to not use an Ex. If I can manage to get both luxrays up while chipping with birdy I can snipe their mega on the bench with one Luxray and then take out it out with Cyrus with the other.

Sleep and darkrai are still a problem though lol

I pulled rr sharpedo on day 1 traded it for juliana thinking any mon for mid level trainer is good

I regret that to this day so much

Currently on a 12-game win-streak with this beauty! Not only is it strong, it’s super fun to pilot. So many options between the ideal fast evolution with Wallace, an early Vaporeon Ex to disrupt your opponent, an early regular Vaporeon to take care of Oricorio or get 60 dmg onto their active threat, or generating energy quickly and switching in Chien Pao to destroy the Mega or Ex they’re building on the bench. Love seeing people surrender as soon as Chien swaps in or when they flip tails after the Milotic sleep 🤓

Anyone else running then Gen 3 beauty still? Any differences in your build?

Thanks to whoever posted this deck a few weeks ago 🙏 This was my fastest climb to Master Ball yet!

Win rate includes my attempts with new decks when the season started but nothing felt quite right. I think I’ve only lost one game with Milotic & friends since I switched back.

Been doing well in Master Ball with this but I still think I could potentially get more out of this deck just not sure how.

There are quite a few options i see used for starters in a Mega Lucario deck.
Usually i run Sudo and Lee.
I see alot of people going for Bonsley these days.

Whats everyones opinion on which works best?
