THESE EARLY META DECKS ARE WILD!!! - What do YOU think will rise to the top of this new meta game? LIKE AND SUB!!!
Bro take it easy
I think yanmega is gon be the dark horse of the next tournament. It’s clear that they knew how op darkrai weavile would be and specifically gave them grass weakness with 140 hp. They designed yanmega to be darkrai and weaviles kryptonite.
FOR SURE - run your capes in darkrai folks!!!! :D
The exeggutor-yanmega is good... With rocky helm on exeggutor... If the deck have 1 or 2 shaymin that can mitigate darkrai ability... Just focus on exeggutor with rocky helm on early game while shaymin healing exeggutor... Yanmega will be the final key to destroy darkrai or weavile...
Yanmega is also a bug type in the main games and bug is super effective against dark
I have a fire yanmega deck won 8 in a row then 5 counters dark as well
Run 1 or 2 starly on your yanmega decks and there's nothing can stop it lol
It’s not in the top meta, that I know of, but the Lake Trio paired with Giratina has some amazing synergy. I’ve been using it to beat all the “3 diamond only card” missions in the solo battling.
Good looks for the info needed a team like that for those missions
"These decks that run a lot of evolution pokemon are a lot more consistent now with pokemon communication"
Me: Pokemon communications a vaporeon into the deck, gets back the other vaporeon in the deck.
happens XD
@@PocketMadswouldn’t poke ball work better for getting the basic over communication and mills
@@ktg_2castle960they are talking about finding another evolution and how he tried to get trade a evolution (vaporeon) for a other like gyrados or greninja but just got another vaporeon instead
I dont really know what decks will be strong, but one thing im sure of, Giant cape will nerf 2 cards kill 1, nerf to gio and potion, blue is now dead
100000%
Yea I can only see Blue being used to stop spirit tomb setups for weavile
And helmet counters cape.
Cnt believe they gv such weak effects to blue 😂 he's such a cool character in the game
@@andrew_z_8547 didnt think about that, but seems like a expensive counter for one turn of spirit
Would be great if I didn't get only 2 EXes from 47 packs.
Water decks seem to be also really good with the anti meta and also the addition of some of the new water type cards
Dialga + Yanmega will be meta as long as people run Leaf. Dialga can tank early Dark aggro with cape and Yanmega basically sweeps both Weavile and Darkrai.
I want to try this, as Dialga was my first pair. I don't have any Yans yet, however :(
I'm still doing my AI missions though, so could get a couple of hits I need. Mostly hoping for Dawns, Helmets and Cyrus right now though... oh and a second Lucario and Galade ex would be nice, as I'm so close to a deck there, too.
My favorite is the player who finished top 5 with just Pachirisu.
Brooo I've been running that in random matches and people just don't know how to handle it.
12:19 moltres isn’t weak to water lol, so moltres would survive a hit from gary and palki
The 5th person to correct me 🤣
I always forget about that too. @@PocketMads
Many wacky decks people are running atm. Its fun to see quite honestly. I still am a Darkrai/Weavile believer. Also, think Pachirisu/Zebstrika has high potential thats being underestimated. Good to see Infernape with a high placement after people slandering the card. Manaphy will be the staple card for all water deck archetypes. I believe Misty is the noob trap card especially for tournament play.
People are hella sleeping on articuno ex in the manaphy palkia vaporeon decks and it will keep commenting this eveywhere till people realise. I personally run giant cape instead of sabrina, curis would probably be best. You want an ex speed to be able to 2nd turn dimensional storm after a manaphy attack
Surprised not more people are running 2 Dawns with Weavile considering the strength of the deck lies in its ability to aggro and destroy decks that need setup.
I think if the Darkrai Mag deck gets too popular Aero Hitmonlee might make a comeback with Cyrus and Evo lock
22:45 leading off to dialga is not bad but you generally want to lead off a one energy mon then next turn X-Speed Dawn to dialga
I got one Palkia 2 star, so looking at that Gyrados deck. I do like Gyrados ex, and I only really played the Card with Greninja with the last set, as it just felt better than with Vaporeon (also with Druddigon, which was the busted card of the last set, IMO) I can now try the Vaporeon strat from last set. I didn't play much of Mythical, so I was a little worried the cards had all just gotten much better replacements in the new set... like Blue/Cape, for example. Lol, I had just got a 2 star Blue as well, and never even really got to use it.
I am actually missing a Cape though, and wanting to open some Palkia packs now, to try and get my Helmets. I guess I can try and WP a 2nd cape for now.
I’m never running Dialga + Melmetal deck without Skarmony, it doesn’t make any sense. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten first turn Knockouts on Staryu, Manaphy and Execcute with Skarm + Tool. Heck, I’ve even used it to 3 turn kill Mewtwo before it can find its 4th energy. If the Mewtwo runs just Cyrus it out. Early pressure with Skarmony + Tool in invaluable. It basically attacks as an early and better Farfetched. All it needs is one energy to start going aggro and then you can set up Dialga and Melmetal on bench. Not to mention it’s 1 point after knockout. You guys really need to reconsider leading with EX Pokemon first turn because after swapping out that’s 2 points free waiting for the opponent to just Cyrus you out.
I guess Dark Magnezone deck just does the same thing mine does, but with fewer pieces needed. As mine runs Dialga ex (instead of Darkrai and Drudd) and also runs 2 x Melmetal lines. It's still a good deck, but until I draw my Dawns and Rocky helmets, it's gonna be lacking. The Dawn tech with Dialga just seems like a key piece of the kit that you need to compete against someone who actually has access to the new tech.
Seriously considering just buying a Dawn and a Helmet, so I at least have one of each for now. Could really do a with a Cyrus, too.
Ive been looking for a consistent garchomp deck cause garchomp is one of my favorite pokemon, just recently pulled a garchomp full art aswell
I am part of the minority that prefers arbok over weezing just because corner and having a helmet on him kinda makes him op
I’ve been messing around with druddigon greninja darkrai deck. Run druddigon with rocky helm. Actually been seeing a lot of success. (Really scummy tho lmao)
The issue with drud is manaphy is just going to ramp for free until u swap out.
@ yeah ive dealt with manaphy palkia decks, most of the time i have my darkrai to do chip damage, but I don’t have all the cards I need to make it as consistent as I want it to be.
I like to call the Darkrai and Magnezone deck, the “ghost in the shell” deck :)
the darkra weav dawn combo is the most opresive combo i have ever seen and im playing from day one...i would argue this needs a nerf allthough i know they dont nerf or buff cards which is ahuge turn of
I refuse to attack a druddigon. Eventually I either get to set up my deck and sweep or they forfeit the match the moment they realise my tactic
Random but I’ve been running celebi serperior with tangrowth 😂 surprisingly good
New Tangrowth is UNDERRATED!!!
I don't have many cards yet, but I was able to build a Magnezone/Diagla deck. Only issue is I have not draw a single copy of Dawn, or Rocky Helmet yet. I mean Dawn is essential with Dialga, so that sucks. I would also love at least 1 copy of Cyrus, too.
I'm opening Dialga packs, so just hoping I can draw at least 1 Dawn, and then buy my 2 x Helmets with Pack points.
The new Trainer and Item cards are just too good not to have. Because of this I'm simply just doing my AI quests, to hope I can draw some of what I need, before I get wrecked on ladder by people that have all the new tech.
I can't complain too much though, I did draw 2 x Immersive Dialga, back to back. I just wish it would have given me a Galade ex or something, rather than a 3rd Dialga ex (regular copy) I got 1 x Galade from a WP, and I have 2 x Riolu and one Lucario, so been messing with a Janky, half missing Galade ex/Lucario and small dudes deck. Mankey is pretty nasty, with a Lucario on board, and little bit of damage on Him. I hear they stack, too, but I don't have my second Lucario yet.
BTW if only one of the final evo's, do you tend to just run one copy of the other levels, or still double up on the lower ones? With my Galade I put 2 x each of the ralts/kirlia, just because I used to do a similar thing with a fire deck, and that worked. I had the Fire dog guy, and just one copy, but it worked out better if I had 2 of his starting form. I guess with Galade it needs 3 stages.
Honestly, if I'd known this set was gonna be as good as it is, I'd have likely bought some gold for packs. I was a little underwhelmed by the Mew set, as a lot of the cards just seemed to do the same thing (same ability on quite a few cards) but this new set looks to have opened things up a lot more. Like the best card in the Mew set was Druddigon, IMO. and now we just have an item to turn everyone into drudd, that's crazy.
19:54 It's the opposite, Gyarados is the main attacker and Palkia is the early pressurer and late game sweeper in this deck
I lost too that darkri top deck I almost won they did some crazy play transferring energy to evolve waiting for that thunder attack idk how he thought of that move but I almost won with a gallade luccario
12:24 Palkia and Gyarados wont OKO moltres EX is weak to electric as its considered flying type like all the legendary birds
Moltees lives against palkia and gyarados as it’s weak to electric
i have had some mad luck pulling 2 golden Palkia, this Greninja deck with Palkia has made me win 1 matches in a row.
Manaphy with vaporion is awesome
6:50 I WISH it had 180HP lol. It's 80HP, significantly less
I think rotom fan is a lot more viable than a lot of people think
I agree tbh
Fr all it takes is a good coin flip to ruin your opponents momentum
Dialga and Yanmega slams darkrai decks. If Yanmega gets ramped up early by Dialga, no darkrai deck beats it.
its funny how giant cape still doesn't save any pokemon from charizard
No koga in those weezing decks, is it better?🤔
17:53
Moltres with cape doesn’t get 1HKO’d from Palkia, it’s weak to electric. Otherwise great video
@@vivafringe ah great point!!!!
With the communication trainer, I should be able to get into Venusaur EX more constantly. Throw in a Shaman and the big cape will push Venusaur to 210 HP and with Shaman will allow Venusaur to recover 40 (50 with 2 Shamans).
Venu has legs in this format - needs some testing!!!
@PocketMads ppl use 2 stage pokemon in a lot of decks. Superior in Celbi, Charazard, Gardivoire. Why not Venusaur? Grass has Erica that heals for 50. We need to capitalize on this advantage. Like, use Tangrowth as a stall wall and throw in a shaman, and u can neutralize Darkrai's chip damage.
Still Charizard will continue to be popular imo, unfortunately an automatic downside to Venusaur
@Wills-un6nh with big cape ONLY Charazard EX can 1 shot it.
Could also use rocky helmet to bust damage (with so much survaivability giant cape could be overkill idk)
6:50 i wish bro
Wouldn’t like ball be more consistent for basic Pokémon than communication?
Use ball before communications to make finding evo Pokémon more consistent
which energy's the magzone/darkrai/druddigon deck use?
DArk only :D
I thought Bisharp would be played in metal decks,I like ya mega eggs but I like it with the 1 copy of celebi for the mew ex.no pikachu??
12:24 Moltres still isn't weak to water lol
I always forget 😭😭😭
All of these results are really distorted because people are just playing new cards.
ngl I'm not a fan of leaf x2 on weevile decks. There are already too many supporters with research, cyrus, dawns, and most pokés have low retreat costs. Just put X speed in there instead man :x
Leading off with darkrai tho 🫠🫠🫠
@@PocketMads at this point I'd just facetank the early turns with darkrai, charge an energy or two on him for his retreat before it dies while I setup weavile on the bench or smth. With such combo-heavy deck with cyrus and dawn here, adding an Xspeed in the mix can be gamechanger :v
Mewtwo Rocky helmet and its over.
Damn, I could really do with my 2nd Yanmega, but just want to try and get my Rocky Helmets from Palkia packs. I also just need a second Palkia and Manaphy, to be able to build a bunch of decks.
Getting close now to having the pieces to be able to build some optimal decks again. I got my 2 x dawn today, got 1 x cape and 1 x Cyrus, too. Still no Helmets yet though.
Fighting decks really fell off huh. also surprised we arent seeing more grass type decks to combat these new dark archetypes. Like i wonder how venusaur ex or a tangrowth stall deck could workout with all the healing options in grass decks
things will change A LOT in the coming weeks! Stay tuned!!!
Gallade is awesome for taking down celebi or other decks that use lots of energy
Hear me out but what about exeggutor ex, maganazone and mew ex
How would that work?
sounds insane tbh
How do you enter these tournaments?
I made a video on this - check it out on my channel (:
@PocketMads nvm
No one beats my Yanmega deck I don’t even have to watch the video my deck isn’t perfect but very hard to beat
maybe watch the video anyway? (;
@ oh for sure I’m just trolling lol
GYATTTTTTTTTT
SKRRRRRRRRRRR
tuff
New Magnemite over old Magnemite? 🤨 Isn't the old one just better in every way?
Also I'm probably the only person saying this, but:
Regice > Articuno EX for Palkia/Manaphy/Vaporeon.
It can attack for 1 dark energy. The old one is only electric energy (: it probably doesn’t matter much tho.
Oh, it's colorless? I totally did not notice that. Lol, I suppose that gives it the edge in splashable decks.
@@RyansChannel0203 yea - and mangezone is very easily put into any deck :D
@@PocketMads True. It's basically just a tankier Flareon after all.
hk pride!!!
Why the hell would you create a report on a tournament that isnt over 😂
Since literally the only 3 decks left standing were all darkrai - it didn’t really make any difference lol. We were going to be looking at the same decks either way brother 😂
It's my birthday
Happy birthday you filthy animal.
lol 180hp spirit tomb, she thick 6:50
Yea definitely NOT 180 hp😭
First
gzz
It's so weird only seeing the new stuff, pikachu really didn't get worse and mewtwo is still crazy consistent just weak to the new dark types. If anything grass decks like celebi an already good deck will be even more common because of darkrai and weavile.
I still believe that with how high energy count is in so many decks like: celebi, mewtwo, zard, Palkia, gyarados, etc. we could start seeing gallade esp with how low quick it is to get set up thanks to being only 2 energy.
Pikachu will be back. I promise you this.
mewtwo goes poof
Mewtwo is still actually very good- but this new format is NOT kind to it :D
dialga yanmega with tools 🫡
