Does it get trickier of you go second?

Great video Rowan, Have a question about your turn 2 slide; shouldn’t we be using counter catcher instead of prime catcher most t2?

great video its been a great help just getting back into the game last time i played was 9 years ago. Im curious why on turn two you don't recommended another terpagos. thanks for the great videos

I want to like this deck, but I keep bricking with it. I’m only about a dozen games in but it feels like Lugia is more consistent for me 😂 Just had a game where both Dusknoirs, a terapagos, and my boss were prized. 😅

At 21:00 , why not get Rare Candy Prime Catcher, which would let you KO both Charmanders again?

I’ve been playing this deck since it was available on live. When it works it’s nuts. Raging bolt feels so bad though. Dragapult can be tough too if you don’t go first and get a Duskull down.

What if you have to go second?

I think you should consider putting at least one dusclops. You don’t need a KO every single time, sometimes it’s helpful just to get over a big MON providing additional damage for your main attacker to breakthrough. And prevent you from being totally relianton rare candy.

Great vid as always rowan, ty for the content, talking about set up, we bouth a yeti mic for our podcast, it was 100% worth it

With all respect it sounds like he explaining the TCG meta to me from within a call of duty lobby

Why not play or cut bafflount?

How do you even counter this

Do you think the charizard matchup is favorable into zard if they bench 3 charmanders? since 330hp its a lot for this deck to handle?

Hi Rowan just know I'm your #1 fangirl I started playing Pokemon TCG solely to have the chance to get good, go to big tournaments, meet you and propose in person Also really good deck, rn I'm playing Terapagos with Palkia but I guess it will be rotated out soon so I'll switch to this

Is it worth it to invest in this deck right now, as a new player I don’t wanna spend a bunch of money to have it rotate out in April

I’m new to this game and this video help me a lot. Thanks man.

for the first one, what if you cc up the pidgeot, get another arcana on board, kill pidgeot, then kill zard the next turn with arcana or zacian? I guess iono cc kill gardex kinda messes with it

I get a lot of these right, but for the ones i miss, i learn to improve and think more intuitively and improve gameplay. Please keep these videos up and thank you.

for the match ups you’ve provided can you also mention when you should go first or second if you know what they’re playing already

How do we feel about +1 great ball -1 serena??

Oh bro what about the zard match up?

Yoooooo my guy Rowan covering the guardian of the sea 🌊 and the basic attacker version.Ill need this for this weekends challenge

Any thoughts on other attackers like rad zard or mew ex? Awesome video btw and cool to see you on shift gear pod today!

great video what do you think would be a great play for worlds in seniors

What do you think about Roseanne's Backup in this List?

Hello Rowan

Agisnt lugia why is attacking with screamtail not a good option instead?

You can't greninja the ogrepon, he's Tera

u cant put dmg on teal mask. 8.34

So I’ll being doing multiple comments, but for the first pause I would have done best ball, so I can prize check and see what energy’s I have , so when I do comfey ability and I do get a energy I know to keep or not to keep, and then I would have Pokémon stop after , that’s just me 😊

For the bolt puzzle wouldn't it be putting damage on squawk and a bolt cuz ogerpon is a tera mon

Last game vs zard you could have set up for a 2hko with munkidori and gardy. You hit with munki and move damage to get 90, so zard has 240 left. They HAVE to take a prize or they give you a free turn so theyre attacking with that zard. Then you go double munkidori plus gardy to hit 250 and 2hko the zard. You only need 1 munki if they hit themselves in confusion too so the play works for single munki decks too

why didnt the gardie start the klefki

For the puzzle against charizard, would it also work to attach manually to sableye, prime catcher up bibs, sableye knock out manaphy, super rod back 2 water plus any other energy, mirage gate 2 onto radiant greninja and thin hand except for switch cart energy in deck, so guaranteed to draw win off Roxanne?

great content, but would u be able to do more general ideas/tcglive stuff? obv including this kinda stuff :)

For the raging bolt puzzle you can either a) prime catcher the Ogerpon on the ninja turn B) use double ninja + sableye to pile damage on the raging bolt and play around switch cart.

I really like this style of video over games in TCG Live. Please keep doing poke puzzles for decks you want to discuss. Thank you!

17:04 You can guarantee checkmate with this final hand (assuming the opponent doesn't draw gust off of Roxanne). Put 3 Energies back with the Super Rod instead of 1, Mirage Gate 2 to Ursaluna, Lost Vacuum your Rescue Board and the Switch, attach active, and attack. You'll be left with 1 Energy in deck, and only Boss's Orders + your prize card in hand. You'll always either have Boss in hand or Energy to Concealed Cards for it.

On the raging bolt puzzle you could greninja 90 to ninja and 90 to benched bolt so its hard to switch cart, then sable eye kill ninja and 80 to damaged bolt, sable eye again to kill bolt since it has 170 damage on by now you can kill it with the second sable eye even if he somehow switch carts 30 damage. Then prime catcher amp on the squack for the last 3

3:46 would it not be better to nest ball for hands before Pokestop? Have hands safely on the board instead of potentially discarding it

On the raging bolt solution I was thinking 90 on squak and greninja then sableye kill both put 10 on the bolt then cram the bolt and finish it off with iron hands on the bolt with 120 damage. But you get bodied by a switch cart, maybe could boss the ogerpon and do the 90-90 but wasn't sure if we would hit boss or prime. I thought it was a trick question cause of the Tera thing lol

I was interested the Raging Bolt solution cause its really hard with out being able to Ninja the Ogerpons. Then you just did it lol

@8:36 - i think putting damage on an Tera Pokemon with Greninja is going to be hard

I wanna learn this deck and my guy Rowan got the tutorial 🙌🏾🙌🏾👀👀

This is blowing my mind. I recently picked up the deck and have been doing pretty well with it, but I couldn't solve *any* of these puzzles. I learned so much, wtf. Please more of these kind of videos!

These puzzle scenarios are great, thank you for making the time to do this, Rowan! Keep up the great work! (^o^)

For the scenario against lost box, could you promote flutermane, CC on bundle, attach per turn onto fluttermane, arven for unfair + bravery charm, then w/ monki move 30 from fluttermane to the bundle, then attack for KO on bundle and one damage on hands, one damage on comfey? This allows you to KO hands on your next turn w/ Gardy and potentially KO comfey w/ double monki, while denying amp on fluttermane and preventing your oponent from drawing with comfey during their turn.
