Funny how Alakazam does with an attack nearly what Dusknoir did way back in Boundaries Crossed with an ability. Soooo many cards from that era would feel so OP if they got printed nowadays. I mean, they were OP back than too
This deck needs a Vanilluxe from Paradox Rift. Its ability prevents Pokemon with less than 40 HP remaining from attacking. And it’s doesn’t need to be active for it to work. It’s like a panic mask but on steroids. Dragapult gets completely neutralized.
I liked that video. It was like the ones yesterday but with the awesome commentary of popsicle knight. Keep it up bro your my favorite pokemon tcg player on youtube
Cool!!! I liked this card a lot when I saw it and also had to make a deck. I like alakazam and have been playing damage swap decks for a long time. I tried it with Tsareena ex, and with froslass / Raichu / munkidori / emolga, but you made it work even better! Are there other partners that would work even better with this deck?
Love it, love it, love it❤ have to build that 😂 i have seen a version with tsareena ex but this build has convinced me to finally get my alakazams into action!
Raticate and the Hisuian Braviary that spreads damage would synergize well. There will soon be a dusknoir line that can give up a prize to spread some damage, activating reversal energy in your turn..
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's quite warm where I'm at right now. I have to turn off the fans and stuff while I record so it's quiet. But in turn I get really hot, probably apparent in my voice when my mouth dries up. Thanks for the sub and the reminder. I really appreciate it.
I recommend to switch the abra with the 151 one because if the opponent plays two froslass, you could get into serious trouble to get that alakazam up.
I’ve been trying this out but I’ve gotten blocked by Zard a lot so I dropped one iono for tm devo to just be able to put just enough damage on their bench and tm devo the amount of zards that just scoop as soon as they see the devo get placed priceless
Why don't you just use the evolution of rufflet? It's a stage one. Its attack is free and it just puts 30 damage on all Pokemon with damage counters on it
you should add a flying entry hawlucha from scarlet and violet base set. Its flying entry ability does 10 damage to 2 of ur opponents pokemon when u bench it. Combine it with raticate and thats ko
Ribombee is interesting but it's effect requires one extra turn. And if your opponent's pokemon retreats, the effect of Ribombee's attack gies away. It's extremely difficult to pull off. It's possible but highly improbable.
Does anyone know if Vitality band or Defiance Band are attached to Raticate when you attack with Super fang does the extra damage hit on top of cutting them down to 10HP and instant KO?
No it will not do extra damage, because the tool cards you mentioned increases only "attack damage". Alolan Raticate's attack does not deal "attack damage," rather it is considered an "effect of an attack," specifically reducing your opponent's pokemon's HP down to 10.
@@PopsicleKnight Thank you for the reply! I am a newer player so this is very helpful information. Am I right in also assuming since it is an "effect of an attack" that when using it against a psychic Pokémon its doesn't do the X2 Damage? Love your channel BTW! I have had so much fun play testing some of the decks you showcase IRL and on ptcg Live with my 10 year old. Thanks for the awesome videos.
I think the process is the same, because you can still prevent attacks from damaging you. And Alakazam or Pidgeot ex can also attack if you need them to. Maybe take out their draw engine as soon as possible to cripple their setup.
Regidrago & Dragapult should be auto-losses for a single price deck like this one, they made some weird plays / decisions (no Dragapult ex in Regidrago??)..
bro first game, 1 damage to pidgeot, 1 damage to charizard ex and 7 to the charmander on the bench, how tf do you play this and not see that easy ass 5 prizes.
16:54 best evil villain laugh.
*Evil Laugh*
Beat me to it.
😅

Yeah, I'm noticing that they're bringing back old design concepts into new cards. It's pretty cool, I think.
Imagine they reprint Battle compressor 🤣🤣🤣
Aw man. I was enjoying this being a secret. Absolutely love all the different ways you can build Alolan Rat decks
It's too awesome to keep secret 😅
Thank you I have been waiting for some content on this new Alakazam! This is awesome
Thank you!
lov the villain laugh 😂
That s the Best part xD
I absolutely love this deck list! As normal, you never fail to deliver another great video
Thank you!
i was breaking my head on using raticate and Alakazam.
this solved my problem, raticate is one of my favorite cards,i use him in alot of my decks.
Alolan Raticate is awesome!
that first game's navigation is honestly impressive , i really enjoyed how you played your hand first few turns , keep iut up :)
Thank you!
This is brutal 😮 and i'm here for it 😂😂

interesting, but then skwovet or 1 Bib would have to go

Aww, thank you for that. I appreciate you.
Amazing video!
Thank you!
Board wipes have never been easier
Awesome Man!
Thanks.

Yes exactly I was thinking the same thing with tsareena froslass munkidori or something like that
Very nice! I think Tsareena ex is also a really great pair with this. I may have to try it out too.
Best EVER!! love yaa
Thank you !!!
Still crazy to see what kinda combos can be done with cards that may otherwise be dismissed as pack filler.
True
Cutie fly sleeves though 🔥😮💨
Love it, love it, love it❤ have to build that 😂 i have seen a version with tsareena ex but this build has convinced me to finally get my alakazams into action!
I hope it works out 😃

That Dusknoir and Dusklops will be on a lot of decks.
Makes me miss my old raticate break/ariados/blizzard town deck
Alolan raticate one of my favourite cards .... Thanks
Alolan Raticate is tight! 😃
love the evil laugh
😅
because of youre a cool guy, ill subscribe to you and stay hydrated buddy

The Definition of Rat 🐀 16:46 26:19
I recommend to switch the abra with the 151 one because if the opponent plays two froslass, you could get into serious trouble to get that alakazam up.
That's true.
So good!
Thanks.
26:24 You activate Exodia:)
Nice 😎
Could u make a deck with the new pinsir that knockout the defending pokemon
I'll definitely look into it 😃
Froslass could be a pretty cool combo with alakazam
Interesting idea... 🤔
Radiant Jirachi would be a great sacrifice Pokémon for this deck. You can also use 151 Mr. Mime to spread damage at the end.
I’ve been trying this out but I’ve gotten blocked by Zard a lot so I dropped one iono for tm devo to just be able to put just enough damage on their bench and tm devo the amount of zards that just scoop as soon as they see the devo get placed priceless
hey what the name of the back sound
I am a fan of Taiwan
hello！I like your laughter
😂
Thank you for the support!
笑聲超級好笑 哈哈哈
how does frosslass work in this deck? Feels like when raticate uses super fang and pass turn its a one hit ko :)
Froslass is interesting 🤔
Why don't you just use the evolution of rufflet? It's a stage one. Its attack is free and it just puts 30 damage on all Pokemon with damage counters on it
Hisuian Braviary is good too
@@PopsicleKnight leaves room for more tech
This would be good in gardevoir ex. Spread damage with munkidori over a few turns and fuse it all together by bringing Alakazam in
This deck is good
Thanks 😃
@@PopsicleKnight I have created this deck and can't wait to use it. It is a breath of fresh air from the meta decks which everyone uses.
Just took all 6 prizes muahahaha
you should add a flying entry hawlucha from scarlet and violet base set. Its flying entry ability does 10 damage to 2 of ur opponents pokemon when u bench it. Combine it with raticate and thats ko
Hawlucha is a good option 🤔
Have you played against any deck with Greninja ex and Froslass?
Yes, I have.
i played against this deck yesterday and absolutely destroyed it with blissey ex because munkidori.
Blissey ex can actually be a problem 😅
You can also use Ribombee and Iron Hands to get 6 prizes at a time
Ribombee is interesting but it's effect requires one extra turn. And if your opponent's pokemon retreats, the effect of Ribombee's attack gies away. It's extremely difficult to pull off. It's possible but highly improbable.

Why Raticate and not Scolipede?
Scolipede is stage 2 and it's harder to evolve or set up. But it is possible.
amazing hahaha
😃
ideally you’d rather be the first player or the second for this deck?
I like going first.
couldn't gapejaw bog work in this
It can.
How does this fare against single-prize decks?
I think the process is the same, because you can still prevent attacks from damaging you. And Alakazam or Pidgeot ex can also attack if you need them to. Maybe take out their draw engine as soon as possible to cripple their setup.
Divertido pero muy pocos pokemones y muchas veces quedas sin Pokemon en banca y KO en el 2
Regidrago & Dragapult should be auto-losses for a single price deck like this one, they made some weird plays / decisions (no Dragapult ex in Regidrago??)..
Lol wow what a deck....how's the consistency
It's pretty good actually.
why alakazam did 310 damage to torkoal it only had 3 energy that was 160 dmg i thought🤔
I think its both active pokemon’s energy
The Charizard on the bench doubles fire energy so technically it was 6 energy
I love you.
Aw, thanks! 😊
This deck could make someone quit pkm tcg altogether 😂😂😂
kontoru
Imagine it happen soon to you
😂😂😂😂😂
😅
Such a scam. Why the need to boss order Raticate eventually you can READ the Alakazam card 15:47 and just knock out that Pokémon.... BS
ummm because the Kazam had panic mask on it so the Zard couldn't attack it......
Lol
😃
Mwahahhahah
😅
bro first game, 1 damage to pidgeot, 1 damage to charizard ex and 7 to the charmander on the bench, how tf do you play this and not see that easy ass 5 prizes.
