I’d love a trainer card to find a fossil.
I agree. I've been running Lucario Kabutops and this would be the missing piece to make the deck consistent
I hope we get that in the upcoming mini set.
The Rock Gym Leader Roark from Sinnoh is a fossil guy so he’d be the perfect candidate.
Nah
@@asafk8 what a great idea!
@@asafk8 Yes, I’ve been thinking the same thing. Both Roark and the steel type gym leader of Sinnoh are fossil guys. Any of them would be perfect for the job.
Even with the warning I had a stroke when you professor Oaked...
The aggro decks from this new set all feel really strong. Infernape, Skarmory, Mismagius, Weavile, even Yanmega, Honchkrow, and Gallade all feel really good at pushing the greedy decks around.
They need to be stronger tbh. Was so hyped for Infernape EX but he's not strong enough currently to be a top meta deck. An offensive tool would be amazing for aggro decks. Something like +10 dmg every time you attack
Infernape with rocky helmet + Dawn is awesome
Infernape feels undertuned to where the meta is. It looks like it takes out darkrai EX on paper, but there's cape and darkrai hangs out on bench most of the time anyways. Then it fails to oneshot palkia and gets oneshot by palkia unless it is wearing cape itself. Discarding all energy on it is also kind of similar to charizard EX discarding 2 energy, but charizard kills everything with storm.
@@dark_rit Can do decently against Palkia if you're running Giovanni tbh. Main downside imo is how many things Infernape needs to be successful. Dawn, Gio, Cape, Communications... on top of only really being strong with Moltres. Really hope the expansion helps.
@@dark_rit Infernape is technically an aggro card, but most importantly it is a stage two as well. The two kind of do not go well together. That is also why Char works way better as its stage two status complements its ramp playstyle .
I really love Skarmory, been running this card with my Wormadam deck, with a Mew for a finisher, and it's so nice!
My kids and I followed over from your unite. My eldest wanted to tell you that the Spragels wonder pick spot works every time! (Some of the time) keep at it 👍
I made a version of this deck as soon as I saw skarmory and bastiodon effects. Your's was more optimized with Geos. I had potions instead. I cleaned up during the competition because most games were early super quick with skarmory. I love this deck
Been having fun with an Exeggutor/Magnezone deck, haven't seen anyone cover it. Egg man is a good early game wall/sweeper while you set up Mags to sweep late. Each covers the other's weaknesses pretty well imo.
I've played with this all day, it isn't that consistent. On top of sometimes not finding fossils, sometimes the game likes to put all the tools on the bottom. It is fun when it works though, but people who run this deep into tourneys must be going on sun runs.
when i play 3 stages pokemon. the 2nd stages are always in my last cards.. lol
@@voldo123 welcome to the club... I'm trying to improve it but no way
Bricks hard if the Fossils aren't somewhere in the first half of the deck
This deck isn't really good.
@seanc5917 can you suggest me consistent deck my resources are very limit and looking for a very very consistent deck to work for.
I don't know if you've messed with it yet, but I've found a lot of success with Dialga Magnezone in the event, running just steel energy. Dialga fuels the colorless onto Magne line, and Magneton grants you at minimum 2 lightning energy and go into Zone.
Seen on reddit, another good aggro with Skarmory is Wormadam. Pretty good on this event.
Steel also eating real good on this expansion, lot of variation of decks.
Best part about this deck is that it is 3 star so long as you use the non-full art versions of the supporter cards. you can easily fulfill the 3 star or less requirement in solo missions.
Very similar to my onyx fossil deck… definitely will check it out
I've been running a version of this deck for awhile now, its pretty legit
alternate version if you dont have double Bastiodon line is to add some Wormadams which help fill the gap between the early game Skarmory and the late game Bastiodon. not quite as reliable but good until you can draw that second Bastiodon line!
I commented this on another video earlier! Used this for the 45 wins pretty easy. Glad to see it’s getting some attention.
Another variation I’ve found is melmetal instead of bastiodon line where skarmory usually holds off long enough to charge up the melmetal late game.
I would love to see you try a deck I’ve been playing and loving.
Dialga EX, Pidgeot EX and Lickylicky EX. It’s really, really fun
Been wanting to make this deck since the tournament the other day, still cant pull a single Bastiodon somehow.
I made this deck about 2 days ago, I have yet to see Bastiodon flip a single heads....
Update: I have flipped 20x so far and not a single heads. I laugh at anyone that thinks coin flips are 50/50.
Same with Lickilicky, ive only once seen it roll heads, out of like 15 times
this deck is the truth. I just added another Cyrus and got rid of a Sabrina and I've won 4 in a row.
I survived a Charizard EX with Bastiodon it's actually insane! Literally my favorite pokemon from the new set!
What software do you use to play the game on your PC instead of your phone?
I suggest LDPlayer. BlueStacks might also work (haven't checked if they updated to support the game), but I personally prefer LDPlayer.
I’ve had a lot of bad luck with it 😩
Yeah that’s basically the antithesis of the game
If it's bad luck then it's bad luck. So you know it's not the deck being bad.
I like it but have many bad beats too. I prefer Skarmory with Wormadam and a farfetch’d for aggro start and then potential big hits.
Yeah if you don't draw fossil it is so hard to win usually unless opponent is basic light to where skarm x2 can just beatdown for 50-60 a turn until you win or just lose. When you get the bastiodon with 3 energy on it though it feels great because it has a great start whacking for 50 and then a lategame finisher that can survive a lot.
This deck is awesome just thought I would try it out and I came across dialga decks who went second and first and both lost to this deck not come across darkrai decks just yet but I reckon it will do well against this super aggro deck 👍
Skarmory is nice but this deck has been really inconsistent for me due to being unable to find the Armor Fossil in a reasonable time frame. Skarmory's damage output is great but it is kinda frail even with Cape.
I remember building this deck a few days ago, but It just feels too inconsistent for me. I NEVER seem to get one of the Bastiodon line mons I need
I want this deck to work so badly but its way too inconsistent 😢
Skarmory Deck was the deck I used after I hit twenty wins onwards from the event. got me wins against op healing decks
thank god for the new set i see less celebi now lol
celebi is overrated. idk why people afraid of it.. sure it can deal 200+ damage.. but they can also can deal 0 damage.. and its hp is not that high..
now there is lickylicky which has 100 guaranteed attack, not including coin flip. and only a 2 stages pokemon..
Darkrai, Palkia, Gallade sets are top3 fs
Finally a deck i actually have the cards for, side not that skarmory art is fire.
Darkzone, fighting magnezone, and charizard are my picks for top 3 decks in the game currently.
I would use my capes IF I HAD ONE
This deck feels similar to the Primeape/Kabutops deck you ran back in the early stages of the game
Skarmory wearing a helmet, hehe
I dont have a Bastiadon and im also missing an infernape to make a deck🥺
This is not the most consistent deck. Or even close. Have had tons of games where i never see a fossil and lose
7:30 can the Computer not repull Bastiodon? Since it's shuffled in before you search?
nope it chooses from the pokemon already in your deck
1. Dark
2. Water
3. Dark + magnezone
Every deck is top tier with this guy…lol, show us some of the matches you lost
Watch the streams?
Sadly, Hitmonlee does NOT do 50 damage with 1 Lucario card. Guess the attack power has to be in the bold writing (right side of card) instead of underneath the attack name. (SIGH....)
I HAVE THE MATERIALS FOR THE DECK!!
I wanna like this deck but im sorry spragles way too inconsistent
Misdreavous + Wiggly is better in my opinion
Its terrible.. tried it lost countless in a row due to never finding fossil.
This deck is inconsistent. If you don’t have your Bastiodon online it’s an uphill battle. Played 5 games straight, didn’t get to play Bastiodon, lost all 5, the sixth game when I actually got Bastiodon online I won
best deck is one bidoof and all fossils.
Rampardos is better doing 170 damage 190 with advantage
I got youtube update from discord role.
I feel like Skarmory is the budget stand-in for Dialga.
Dialga is much slower. Skarm is pure aggro
@artattack6884 I like Dialga's resource generator more. I don't really care if it takes another turn.
@@artattack6884 dialga also feels pretty bad going 1st
@@spicymemes7458 I mean dialga if you're going first against something like manaphy is an atrocious card and even if you're going 2nd you don't kill it first attack. Then there's stuff like drudd that gets hit for 30 and does not care even a little.
Any shout to add a mew to just counter a Charizard maybe?
Lmao I’m so over Pokémon pocket content already 😂 every video says best deck. Like cmon
This deck isn't good.
1st?
nope
First
4th
Top 3 decks!!
1. The deck that wins 1st place
2. The deck that wins 2nd place
3. The deck that wins 3rd place
Thank me later
This game is hot garbage 😂 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE STOP WASTING YOUR MONEY ON REPACKAGED SLOP AND PLAY THE REAL TRADING CARD GAME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
No ❤
I know this is suppose to be rage bait but how does that make any sense. You are saying pocket is trash…but you are also telling people to play the real life card game. The card game that plays the exact same… and cost actual real money.
I like pocket's battle system.
@@SenatorWOOMY-xi9hlwhich actually more expensive and can't go f2p.. lol..
@@SenatorWOOMY-xi9hl @theotherguy u mean the only tcg system that rewards the person going second the card game with the lowest card count by far leading to more repetitive play the one where “trading” is actually dusting but with way worse rates than any other tcg before it
None of the art is original, its all copy pasted from the actual main game truly showing how little effort they’re willing to put into the game while simultaneously destroying the likeness of the cards many players own
