I am really keen for the inevitable Hoenn set. Not just because I desperately want a sweet Absol card to clean up Mewtwos, but getting some proper steel types would be awesome. Metagross and skarmory are a must, surely.
I love the concept! I bet if you drop one Mawile and put in a Gio for something like Mewtwo would be sick! Greninja passive into Gio Melmetal is 150 💪🏽
I was definitely won over by Mawile after I got hit by an opponent’s copy that hit 3 heads in a row, completely stifling all my momentum. Love the number of “non-meta” decks that are viable in the game, and I hope Pokemon company keeps stuff like this up!
15:31 the good thing about Pokemon is they can't speak the way the communicate to each other is by saying their names lol. The real question is when are we getting a "Regis plays Pokemon for the first time" video 😂😂😂
I've been paying with this Meltan deck and I would recommend putting in Kangaskhan instead of Mawile. Give you an extra opportunity to collect energy for Meltan in the backgrounds, while also being able to knock out cards with Kangas (60dmg w two heads and only 1 power)
I played mewtwo, because I like it, to get my wins in the event. But I’m just trying this deck and it’s insane and fun. Even beat a charizard deck. Left an articuno deck baffled. This might be my favorite deck now
I love the Greninja flexing into other types! I wish you could run Misty in this deck, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work if you don't have Water in your energy zone.
I’ve been hunting a Melmetal since day one of the global release and I finally got one…! And then my goat releases a deck showcasing him?! I’m absolutely winning 😤😭 thank you Regis!
You should listen to some of the pokémon games battle themes, I'll recommend some the platinum cynthia theme and the black and white 2 cynthia remix theme and all the rival themes. That could be fun, they have some awesome battle themes
My favorite thing in this game is to find ways of playing greninja in all sorts of decks cause his design both visually and mechanically is just so cool.
Man I played against this with my blastoise ex deck last night which needs energy ended up sneakin out the win but never had such a frustrating win 😂 definitely my next deck aim looks fun
Interesting to see you running greninja there. I'm still new to the TCG stuff, so I'm just wondering if you just have it for its ability to attack from the back line since you can't get water energy to actually use its regular attack? Would it be better to have something you could move to the active spot that you could use?
Melmetal is the primary Pokémon that you wanna build towards the active spot, Altough if you wanna be able to attack with Greninja you could run a Misty or two while only having Steel energy selected.
also i was thinking of building a butterfree / melmetal deck, but i guess greninja's ability to cross breakpoints is more valuable than butterfree's ability to heal.
15:40 Considering how much time of my life I have committed to knowing fictional animals in this silly little pokemon game, I would pay YOU to teach you pokemon names as I think that'd be endlessly funny
As soon as I get Greninja (80 fucking packs...not a single...) I am making a Greninja/Hitmonlee deck and just sniping the backline haha. Probably not great but should be fun haha
@12:03 you couldve evolved to graninja, used your ability to snipe arcanine (thats 2 points) then use sabrina to switch moltres for onyta and then attack it for the win
is there any way to get more supporter/gym leader cards without RNG from packs? I have opened a good chunk (i'm level 18) but i'm missing so many gym leaders it sucks lol
Wonder pick is your friend. If there’s no EX/Full Art, trainer packa are only one heart. Better to go for the 1/5 and a few of your like 300 wonder hourglasses than to blow all your packs fishing for a 2% roll on an uncommon.
I would probably get rid of that mawile you got in there for Giovanni and maybe a fossil or two to make up for your lack of basic mons on bench. I don’t know how useful potion even is in this deck also.
I large gaping maw like a giant mouth so it’s maw-wile. I’d be down to teach you all the correct or acceptable pronunciations there are a lot of Pokémon so it could be useful especially for future sets
27:25 you don't even need to switch to melmetal since u already won while opponent wiggytuff only 40 HP just use your Greninja and Mawile is already perfect dmg on wiggytuff ex
I'm guessing because that's a second copy of a card that's dead in your hand if you don't draw both a Froakie and a Frogadier (and if you draw two Greninja, now the second one is even more likely to be useless). At least Froakie and Frogadier aren't completely unusable alone.
From what I heard "once per turn" abilities are mutually exclusive with each other so if you trigger Greninja you cannot trigger any other "once per turn", including another Greninja.
@@DregunStash Ah that's not how it works. You can use two of the same ability in the same turn. A common one you might've seen is Hypno, people double down on him to hopefully guarantee the sleep
Idk how easy it is for you to change this Regis, but i'd really appreciate it if you could increase the size of the game in the UI and the deck? Feels like the right hand side of the video is completely wasted space. I.e. that could help fill/increase the size of the game and the deck.
Afaik you can discard cards from your bench so at 13:13 they could have discarded the ponita so you can not kill it and charger their lavados to beat your metal the next round
10 hours later I just realized the "nuts" pun I made in the title. I'm a genius.
At some point in this video i hope he realizes giovanni is not in his deck
Edit: thank goodness
Probably drop a single froakie for Giovanni
Gio is a waste
@@Sneakyeggsikr he wastes starmie ex and zapdos ex in 1 shot here #bigwastes
I am really keen for the inevitable Hoenn set. Not just because I desperately want a sweet Absol card to clean up Mewtwos, but getting some proper steel types would be awesome. Metagross and skarmory are a must, surely.
I had the same thought the other day when I remembered that my favorite pokemon from that gen is Aron/Aggron ❤
skarmory is from johto though
@Luis-q5y7l Yeah but Mawile is from Hoenn and it's in this one so screw it, skip johto and gimme my flygon!
I want jhoto for pichu to delay pickachu ttar to check mewtwo and siczor would be cool
15:08 "probably worth ma-while"
Super cool to see this. I've been playing Melmetal and having fun, but wanting a little something else, so Greninja seems like a welcome suggestion.
I run melmetal with golbat. Golbat also has colorless attacks and it’s better against mewtwo
I still laugh everytime I think about your reaction to opening meltan the first time. Just full bewilderment. 🤣
I can’t believe you started making content for Pocket! I’ve been watching you for nearly a decade now! Definitely subbed to the channel ❤
I love the concept! I bet if you drop one Mawile and put in a Gio for something like Mewtwo would be sick! Greninja passive into Gio Melmetal is 150 💪🏽
@5:22 if I were playing this, my opponent would definitely attach energy, play giovanni, and attack for KO on my meltan. 💀
I was definitely won over by Mawile after I got hit by an opponent’s copy that hit 3 heads in a row, completely stifling all my momentum. Love the number of “non-meta” decks that are viable in the game, and I hope Pokemon company keeps stuff like this up!
I tried this deck and it surprisingly works! I defeated a lot of dragonite decks. I swapped a mawile for another copy of greninja.
Still fishing for my Greninja but I’m loving the metal deck!!
15:31 the good thing about Pokemon is they can't speak the way the communicate to each other is by saying their names lol.

Great vid Regis, love weird off-meta decks
Actual good build that isn’t regurgitated. 🔥

That first opponent is 100% a paid actor
My favorite hearthstone creator making pocket content? Sign me up!
Misty may be a good addition to get melmetal online quicker AND greninja to be a backup. All whilst keeping metal only energy
I love the Greninja flexing into other types! I wish you could run Misty in this deck, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work if you don't have Water in your energy zone.
u just need him on the bench anyway
I added Misty to one of my decks and it says The conditions for using this Supporter card have not been met.
You can run a misty, she can just only target water type pokemon. You don’t need the water energy in the deck to use her effect
I’ve been hunting a Melmetal since day one of the global release and I finally got one…! And then my goat releases a deck showcasing him?! I’m absolutely winning 😤😭 thank you Regis!

Regis you might enjoy my tanky venasaur ex deck. I run 2 butterfree lines and a venasaur ex, for a passive healing of 70 per turn. Very fun to play
My favorite thing in this game is to find ways of playing greninja in all sorts of decks cause his design both visually and mechanically is just so cool.
BUTTERFREE IS SO OP. Having two on the bench with a venosaur EX in active is unstoppable
I sadly have little to no luck since that deck requires so much build time on 2 stage 2 mons 😢
I wonder if it’s worth to switch the Sabrinas for Gios
I got 17 wins in a row some thanks to Rng with Kabutops and Primeape.
Man I played against this with my blastoise ex deck last night which needs energy ended up sneakin out the win but never had such a frustrating win 😂 definitely my next deck aim looks fun

It’s there purely for the back line attacks. I’d say it’s more than carries its weight in this deck. Loss convince on Mawile tho.
Melmetal is the primary Pokémon that you wanna build towards the active spot, Altough if you wanna be able to attack with Greninja you could run a Misty or two while only having Steel energy selected.
In theory you could run a misty to get the water energy onto Greninja without generating it.
in the second game, they could've also evolved the ponyta in addition to potion, adding a few turns to the game
also i was thinking of building a butterfree / melmetal deck, but i guess greninja's ability to cross breakpoints is more valuable than butterfree's ability to heal.
Maw-While, I got u Regis
How are you playing using a mouse? Can't seem to understand the setup oof.
I use a deck similar to this, but more defensive with butterfree instead of greninja and only one mawile to run two butterfree.
Cool deck bro
What to replace with if you dont have the greninja line?
15:40 Considering how much time of my life I have committed to knowing fictional animals in this silly little pokemon game, I would pay YOU to teach you pokemon names as I think that'd be endlessly funny
Does his passive work with the base zapdos?
Honestly I'm surprised with the damages and Mawile is good enough. Good deck.
As soon as I get Greninja (80 fucking packs...not a single...) I am making a Greninja/Hitmonlee deck and just sniping the backline haha. Probably not great but should be fun haha
6 cards in hand specially after professor is just looking to getting red card
@12:03 you couldve evolved to graninja, used your ability to snipe arcanine (thats 2 points) then use sabrina to switch moltres for onyta and then attack it for the win
@regispokebin
Cool deck 👍👍
What pack I can get metal pokemon?
how are you playing on pc????
it's Mah Wile, like Borat
is there any way to get more supporter/gym leader cards without RNG from packs? I have opened a good chunk (i'm level 18) but i'm missing so many gym leaders it sucks lol
Use the points that you get from opening boosters
Wonder pick is your friend. If there’s no EX/Full Art, trainer packa are only one heart. Better to go for the 1/5 and a few of your like 300 wonder hourglasses than to blow all your packs fishing for a 2% roll on an uncommon.
Wondering if running a Misty would be smart just so Greninja can potentially attack
I personally think it wont do much. If an attack cost 3 or more energy sure but greninja only needs 2 and it doesnt do much even with ability
I would probably get rid of that mawile you got in there for Giovanni and maybe a fossil or two to make up for your lack of basic mons on bench. I don’t know how useful potion even is in this deck also.
Mawile was once misspelled in Ruby as Mawhile if that helps your pronunciation. I pronounce it as Maa-while, not Ma’wile.
I've been using this same deck for like a week but only one line of each and and pigeot instead
They won’t give me metal cards!
Huh? Does he actually have a Gio in the deck? I'm so confused.
No, he was thinking of that but it is not necessary in the deck
Greninja basically replaces Gio when it comes to OHKO things like Starmie and Mewtwo.
I large gaping maw like a giant mouth so it’s maw-wile. I’d be down to teach you all the correct or acceptable pronunciations there are a lot of Pokémon so it could be useful especially for future sets
how do you play this on pc?
I just wanted melmetal , still trying to get him :(
You live and die by the energies. I tried this yesterday and basically got all water energy everytime I felt like.
You’re not supposed to have water energy in this deck.
For clarification, you can edit your deck so that metal energy is the only type.
His deck in this video only had metal energy! Youre supposed to only use Greninja for his ability without caring about a water energy for his attack
You didn't stop for a moment to question the fact that he somehow got 100% metal energy in every single round?
27:25 you don't even need to switch to melmetal since u already won while opponent wiggytuff only 40 HP just use your Greninja and Mawile is already perfect dmg on wiggytuff ex
Out of curiosity, why not double down the on Greninja? 40 damage every turn sounds p insane
I'm guessing because that's a second copy of a card that's dead in your hand if you don't draw both a Froakie and a Frogadier (and if you draw two Greninja, now the second one is even more likely to be useless). At least Froakie and Frogadier aren't completely unusable alone.

Nice new hairstyle
How did u get the game on PC?
bluestack
Melmetal butterfree
Afaik you can discard cards from your bench so at 13:13 they could have discarded the ponita so you can not kill it and charger their lavados to beat your metal the next round
You cannot discard Pokémon from the bench. You can only discard fossils, as stated on the card itself.
No you cant, unless fossil
Aktually 🤓🤓 pokemon faint they dont die 😅😅
Honestly you should listen to the pokemon rap to at least pronounce some of them correctly
Idk I don't mind the mispronouncing
We gonna be okay, together
Let the man live his life 😂 he isn't worried about that
I like it when people bring new fun pronunciations to the table
everybody hating on u didnt watch the vid lmao. he literally asks for suggestions to help his pokemon pronunciation improve
You were mean to mawile. 😢
I dare you to play PTCGL.
I played it a bit before this game to learn the rules.
It's poop on a stick.
Bro thinks he has giovanni in his deck
this deck sucks ngl if u cant get froggie in the beginning its cooked lmao
your "creative" pronunciations are like my favorite parts of these videos please never learn how to pronounce pidgeot
First
Could be the worst deck I have ever tried
What, do you only play mewtwo and pika??
How did he not get a single water energy ??????plz reply.🙏
I selected only Metal energy type in the deck creation.
@regispokebin oh yes, tnx❤️. Actually i am new in this game.
