Great video! As an old head its strange hearing it called GG and not PLOX (short for Psychic Lock). Gardevior Gallade or GG is more descriptive of its main features but it will always be PLOX to me.
@TheArcv2 yeah I interchange between Plox, Garde or GG, but for the sake of the simplicity of the video, I tried to stick to the latter two since they're easily understood to the casual viewer. Thanks for tuning in

Not gonna lie, the Legend Maker through Mysterious Treasures format sounds interesting. Perhaps it would be worth revisiting the way people have revisited formats like NXD-XY, PRC-GRI, SUM-LOT and BTS-PAR? Although Blissey certainly seems like it'd put a damper on the format. That fluffy pink menage is a war criminal. What exactly do I like about this format? It's fun to see gen 3 and 4 cards like those two Meganium still being combined as core components of a strategy, but I'm also loving that Kricketune deck. I think I have a problem. I might just love "gotta go fast" decks too much (source: I enjoyed playing 2018 Rayqaza GX this afternoon, immediately jumped to Donphan when I tried 2010, and continue to love COVID-era Blacephalon, among other offenses. Also, I love Electrode ex).
I loved this deck. But I still think the short run with M-Rayqauza, Shaymin, VS, TM, and BC. Was the strongest. I could win turn 1 so many times. I would show up to events people would see my name by theirs on the list and just leave. I also got a deck thrown at my face after a turn 1 Skyfield MegaRay win. It was a good time to be a goblin.
The azelf, uxie combo was broken but just like most decks back then, the resources to gather the tools you needed wasn’t nearly as good as the X&Y meta
@@pedrosantana245 I don't think it's that hard to set up, nor do you need it most games. A lot of GGAMU games just play like a Gardevoir deck with a backup option of the AMU combo. With Telepass and Pokemon Communication it's very easy to set up 1 Lv.X per turn
I mean, these days Gardevoir has been largely replaced by Empoleon on the tcg one 2008 meta, meaning that Jay Hornung usually plays Torterra, a deck with an unfavorable Gardevoir matchup but the unique distinction of a slightly favorable matchup into Empoleon.
Silver Tempest Lugia would like a word
@@dylanheath9713 possibly worth doing a video on sometime down the line
Not Gotta Lie, I Saw The Thumbnail And Somehow Managed To See Gardevoir As a Duck
I’m really trying to see it
@LunaDachi If You Stretch Enough You Can Kinda See The Arms And Head As a Beak
yooo I see it!!!!
lol
Oh my GOD i see it

I think it's just people who played back in the day will remember that. I remember reading articles on it back then and people were calling it plox

I suppose you could say Kricketune went to the local Kwik Trip.
ABSOL MENTIONED!!!!

@@Charmaster04 the rotation is Holon Phantoms to MT. I think it'd be fun to proxy not to build

Telepass gardevoir is peak deck building
@@Crunchy_Troll Insane PokePower
What do people who have had years of experience playing rotation think the strongest deck relative to the meta is?
@philbuttler3427 its between 2008 Gardevoir/Gallade, 2022 Lugia VSTAR, and 2020 ADP/Zacian if you ask me.
