Dialga needs some buff maybe make his first attack one energy instead of two or make it 40-50 damage instead of 30 or make his second attack 120-130 instead of 100 or make his second attack having some kind of effect like minus 10-20 damage next turn.

Mewtwo players have to adapt, the dumbed down Omnitank hit for 150 playstyle is gone, Mewtwo hits for 50 will you power it up and then for 150, NOTHING survives that in the meta without serious healing/support. Pokemon comm + Slab also benefits getting that Gardevoir ASAP. Of course it should auto-lose to Aggro Weavile so adaptation is needed.

Totally agree on your charizard deck perspective!! This deck is really strong and the only deck that can STILL 1 shot any pokemon, even with all new metas coming out, and you’re the only pocket youtuber that put him in S tier. Hats off mads!!
@Flaris3 сағат бұрын
While it's just playing in the event, gotta say Charizard is looking great right now. Almost no Mew Ex floating around, communication makes getting him online much more reliable, and he's just bulky as heck. Tough without that Mew Ex counterpunch to get rid of him before he's obliterated a couple Pokemon.

18:53 Statistically the best Darkrai deck in the mirror match-up is the Greninja variant, Magnezone had a 47-26 lead on Weezing, while Greninja has a 102-60 lead on Magnezone, 39-17 on Weavile, and 11-6 on Weezing. Overall the Weavile is the worst variant in my opinion, losing to most of the top dogs in the Metagame.

Greninja version as a pure stall deck is even better, with leaf, rocky helmet etc just only get your darkrai out to get the final hit (or in very very rare cases where you dont have a drug) also i ran 2 potions, no communications or cyrus

I made a cool anti meta Venusaur deck that i would call B+ tier. The idea is to put up a tank and out heal the chip damage. It heals 20 every turn to counter darkrai and Cyrus with 2 Shaymins. Late game Venusaur heals another 30/turn with giant bloom. There is 140 healing with support cards + 20 go from capes. There’s little fire running around and few Sabrinas, so Venusaur can tank like 3-4 100+ damage hits. 2x Venusaur EX line 2x Shaymin 2x Cape 1x Drudugon 2x Prof Research 2x Poke ball 2x Erika 2x Pot 1x Cyrus

I think melmetal is really a pacing issue. I found more success with dialga probopass and while it might not necessarily be faster I think the ability to hit for up to 180 in a single attack saved it. Dialga with a neutral energy attacker is really the way to go

It's hard to accept that the meta has shifted away from the Mewtwo EX Deck which is my favorite with that being said I have to agree however the battle I did that I used Pikachu EX I lost granted the majority of the battles I did today I used Mewtwo EX/Mew EX but losing when I changed to Pikachu EX makes me wonder if I should even try battling because I still don't have any of the new decks all I got today was the highlight card of the Team Galactic Deck and unlocked the rental deck every good card I wonder picked for I failed I'm not even sure I'll ever be able to get the new decks at this point and I don't even want to attempt to battle with any of my other decks because I'm sure I'll lose

Cyrus and giant cape are huge problems for Mewtwo. You can no longer reliably take a hit on a mewtwo and then sacrifice something else to a gust because of cyrus, and not being able to consistently one shot things for 150 that Mewtwo could before because of cape, is very bad. Unfortunately, I do think Mewtwo is actually power crept out of the format regardless of whether dark pokemon are doing well or not.
@metalsabatico8 сағат бұрын
Not power crept at all. None of the cards released have a huge leap in power level, the introduction of said cards just changed the format so that it does not favor Mewtwo anymore. Stop throwing power creep without knowing what it means.
@kylemadison12967 сағат бұрын
I know exactly what it means, and the point still stands. Regardless of the term you want to use, with the current pool of cards, Mewtwo will never see a large amount of success again. Will that change with new cards? Possibly, but I guarantee you Mewtwo will never be the bdif again in this current card pool.
@metalsabatico6 сағат бұрын
@@kylemadison1296 power creep means releasing cards that are objectively better that make the previous ones effectively obsolete. To have power creep you would need an example of a card that is an objectively better version of another card. None of the meta cards fulfill that requirement therefore it is not power creep at all. It’s just the meta changing.

@@kendrickaudrey4755 it discards 3 energy instead of 2. Yes, it might be more powerful due to the ramp that water has at its disposal but it is not powercreep. Powercreep would be to deal 150 to the active Pokémon and 20 to the benched ones for the same cost as Mewtwo: 4 energy to attack and discard 2. Mewtwo still has an advantage over palkia, it’s just not that relevant in the meta at the moment. Stop throwing around words you don’t understand.

It can be, I don't know about at the top level but I've definitely seen it here and there and it tends to do pretty well. Fighting overall is just to suffering right now, and the buildup is quick, the aggression is fast, and it hits hard against a lot of energy but a lot of things crowd the deck out as it comes online. I would say it's very good, just not reliable in this meta.

yo mads! been trying pika decks left and right and though the zebstrika variant is technically better vs all the stall decks its not reliable enough. I found a middle ground by playing 7 basics + 2 sabrina + 2 cyrus + 1 gio which works wonders so far. Either go Zeb or double sabrina + cyrus I guess. Only problem rn. Magnezone + fighting toolbox becomes more and more popular since it really has a go mu into everything rn and is also a 1 price deck which is insanly strong. great job as always :)
