1st Place Raging Bolt ex Deck - Really Tier S in Stellar Crown!? (Pokemon TCG)

[@nyogsothepwar1767]

Buu's fury theme at the end of the video was amazing👌 great game

[@tendoshii8302]

More Raging Bolt content please!

Yess

[@ZapdosTCG]

If the deck does well at Dortmund Regionals, there will be another video of Raging Bolt ex for sure 😉

[@MoonduckPsy]

8:22 “Colress’ Tennessee”. Volunteers fans, rejoice! Fun to watch RB clobbered everything expensive and new in Stellar Crown.

[@jacob_vd]

I've playing Raging Bolt with rotom Fan and 2-2 of Noctowl hoot hoot. I like it because assures you to play Sada every single turn.

[@GoOKuSj33]

Pokestop is too important for the deck, and with the owls you need area zero, then you’ll need a manaphy as well, I don’t think it’s worth it, the deck is simple, that setup just overcomplicates things too much.

[@jacob_vd]

@@GoOKuSj33 Dont agree if you play area zero the noctowls give you the cards you need to hit with pokestop. Sometimes pokestop dosemt give you the cards you need or affects you ar least for me I like it more because is not a gambling

[@meemfalker]

actually no to both, Pokestop is not that necessary anymore, the acceleration of the base bolt is more than enough, but yes, the rotom fan and noctowls is waaaay too slow, With Bolt, keep it simple, keep it fast.

[@ZapdosTCG]

It's definitely worth testing out. Even though the more successful builds out there are the ones without the Noctowl engine. Curious to see which version will do better at the upcoming Regionals.

[@coryhills9987]

Please tell me why you are not playing iron bundle. It is amazing. And would have really helped in your match against gardi. Also helps when they have single prizer in active and only 2 prizers on the bench. Also can recycle it easy with stretcher. It is crucial

[@MoonduckPsy]

Slowpoke is an LDF & AzulGG attempt to use Slowking/Gardy with Terrakion, Kyurem, Haxorus and Crabominable/Conkeldurr. It’s a slow bricky deck, but can get lucky at times.

[@ZapdosTCG]

Yeah I've seen it before and once you know exactly what can come the deck is just not that powerful because of the consistency.

[@luketear4452]

I've found it better to play without Hoothoot/Noctowl. They have the potential to brick the deck so hard.

[@sora2k639]

How is the MatchUp vs Charizard EX? Edit: Should've watched longer.

[@jacobexum9972]

If you prime catchers the gardy and killed it, then you could use briar after they ko your raging bolt and kill the drifloon with anything

[@ZapdosTCG]

Yeah that would have been the better play there for sure. Cool to see that Briar opens up plays like that. I wonder how well Raging Bolt ex will perform at the upcoming tournaments.

[@jacobexum9972]

@@ZapdosTCG I’m excited to see, it’s the deck that got me back in since I played rapid strike urshifu. You are really grinding out great content keep up the good work

[@turnofevents1015]

Wait if the opponent knocked out Raging Bolt then they'd have 1 prize card and then you couldn't use Brar anymore right? This is for 53:06?

[@jacobexum9972]

@@turnofevents1015he could’ve benched the sandy shocks, retreated the ogerpon and attached for turn and killed the drifloon. Then they kill sandy shocks and then he briars and kills anything

[@louisUFC]

Love this deck

[@yourfavoritenpc8510]

What's the gameplan when playing against Snorlax?

[@ZapdosTCG]

Go 2nd in the matchup and try to get a KO early on. Use gust on the Rotom and save your Switch Carts and Prime Catcher to get out of the active when you're trapped. Sandy Shocks can also deal with Mimikyu. You can definitely win against that matchup. If you're up against Control with a Noivern ex line, it's a different story haha

[@JoseDorda]

all that talk about the Noctowl and in the raging bolt is still the same deck but teching briar for some late attack with Ogerpon and maybe vacuum or a third stadium if you see too many people running copies of pokemon league for some reason.

[@GoOKuSj33]

You just don’t want a evolution line here, it’s a big basics deck, and you want to Sada every turn.

[@ZapdosTCG]

It seems that the turbo version with Pokéstop and no Noctowl is currently more successful.

[@AJ-rc5lr]

Hey Zapdos, can you help me out, my deck is pretty much same with this deck, except in my local gym, we have this tournament where we have to include a minimum of 4 pokemon from Stellar Crown as the rule, I ran out of idea, what should i use other than Fezandipiti for a Raging Bolt deck? It must have min 4 pokemon from Stellar. Can you help give an idea?

[@andykelly1934]

Try out the Raging Bolt from Stellar Crown. It can hit the opponents benched pokemon based on how many energies are attached to it and it's a 1 prize attacker also 🙂

[@AJ-rc5lr]

@@andykelly1934 yeah i have since went with a raging bolt deck with Noctowl combo, tried it yesterday, works like a charm on few matches

[@coryhills9987]

I wanna see the new gardi deck

[@sumirsookdeo9443]

Can you add a garchomp engine into this set?

[@cjcrabtree1242]

Why would you?

[@ZapdosTCG]

Adding in Garchomp and Rare Candies will clunk up the deck.

[@GoOKuSj33]

I’m mad that Pokémon is not improving live, but instead making another game with microtransactions to screw the whales over.

[@ZapdosTCG]

Same, I sometimes even miss the Pokemon TCG Online client which had way less bugs...

Terapagos poops on raging bolt if you go crown opal route. DTE route is just bad. Crispin terapagos is the way to go. Raging bolt has no answers.
