There seems to be a lot of confusion around Greninja ex’s Mirage Barrage attack and how it works with Double Turbo Energy. Did some digging and based on my findings, it should in fact do 100 instead of 120 and this is wrong in Pokemon TCG Live.

[@Matteodoesstuff]

170 dmg is insane for 1 energy. Same with the attack of dragapult ex. My giratina lost box is alr losing by turn 3

[@ControlledCh4os]

I personally think they need to revise the rules for the DTE/ all current and future attacks of this style. discarding energy is a cost to use the attack. So any modifiers from said energy shouldn't apply to damage once they are not on the pokemon.

[@MusicSkeletonKeys]

I run Jamming Tower, in hopes of buying a turn or two if I’m concerned about Devo. Great for the other junk in Gardy, etc, too. Haven’t decided whether a 1-1 Bib line is worth it yet. Cheers!

[@RandomPerson-ye7zd]

Checked on TCG live, with Radiant Greninja, put double turbo in a Chien-Pao list. I put double turbo on the rad greninja and it reduces damage. It is the same order for the text but the difference was in game you discarded the energy from the rad greninja after you attacked. At least that’s how I remember it from my test. So it’s just a bug in the code probably or the devs just being inconsistent.

[@RandomPerson-ye7zd]

By bug in code I mean with the Greninja ex.

[@kevtlee08]

I don’t think it’s a glitch, one of the requirements to use the attack is to discard 2 energy. Once you discard the double energy card its effect is no long affecting the attack.

For me greninja ex with frosslass is so broken its so frustrating. Its my new charizard ex . Geninja ex makes me concede almost every time. 170 with 330 hp is way too much for 1 energy . I cant wait for stellar crown so that there will be atleast some sort of counter to greninja ex . There is a tournament in my area in a couple days and its probably gonna . Cant wait for 1 month straight of greninja ex 😢😢

[@jaymesmith7361]

Damage is calculated after the double turbo is no longer attached. Its in the professor program list of operations per turn. Its not a glitch. Been a judge for 10 plus years. If you have a water engery and a dte and choose to use the 170 attack, then it would be reduced to 150 since the dte is still attached. Order of operations. Just like math pemdas.

[@jaymesmith7361]

The links you posed weren't really helpful at all. To reference the basfalon gx were the beast energy is sent to the lost zone. The 30 damage buff is negated due the energy being discarded before damage is calculated. So be there for not getting the 30 buff.

[@chimosgameclub9765]

I have had great success with Greninja EX, it has insane MU vs Iron hands, Rotom V. I do think that Forstlass is better vs Raging pon decks

[@chimosgameclub9765]

Honestly the hard choice is the Ace specs. Neo upper, Prime and unfair stamp all works

[@orion1694]

@@chimosgameclub9765 neo upper is useless on greninja, u have DtE for that. But prime vs unfair stamp vs Hyper aroma is the real question( depending if u play froslass variation or not)

[@MusicSkeletonKeys]

If Manaphy is out of the picture, Barrage into an active Rotom for knockout + 100 elsewhere is superb.

[@chimosgameclub9765]

@@orion1694 I would argue that Neo upper has its usage if its true that DTE is a bug. with neo upper greninja KO's bibareal, Iron hands in active. Baby miraidon. with DTE it misses the KO.

[@chimosgameclub9765]

@@MusicSkeletonKeys The sad thing is that you know miss KO on Ironhands, Minchino, Bibareal, 2hit ko on lugia V munkidori(thou it often has damage counter on it) the 120 is a really good number, and I honestly believe it might be what makes or breaks it

[@qtAlexx_YT]

It should only be dealing 100, because of sequencing. Attack damage is always calculated first Even with the discard. Personally, the second attack is bugged but theres actually a duo greninja (water/fighting) ex deck which is great with palkia and i recommend giving it a try

[@Lipieckrol]

No it should not. Its discard then deal dmg. If it was deal dmg then discard - yes 2x100. As it is its discard 2 enery and do 2x120.

[@FerretTwister]

No sir. It says discard two energy First. It's the first thing it says. So the chain works like that. You discard 2 energy and THEN you do damage.

[@qtAlexx_YT]

The order of operations follow the same idea with delphox v and radiant greninja,if you attach a dte to it as well. Youre welcome to look into the rulebook, or ask a judge. Greninja is just a bad card when explained at the end with its matchups. Id have to think palkia is just the better engine, or simply play the double gren ex deck i previously mentioned. Until its fixed however, it will do 120, instead of its proper 100. Though, a neo upper energy may be the way to go for a swift attack i guess

[@qtAlexx_YT]

a REALLY good example is Blacephalon GX and its Beast Energy. The +30 is calculated even after being sent to the lost zone, though you take it off the pokemon first. All damage is calculated before any discard of energy, no matter what. A sinnoh is the only way to make it deal 120 damage, which actually, is not a bad idea for this deck. If youre still confused, you can use mew EX copying rad greninja as an example too! It deals 70 damage when you discard a DTE. I tried explaining the best i could, so hopefully I did well

[@chimosgameclub9765]

@@qtAlexx_YT I don tthink blacephalon GX reads the same. but Rad greninja does. But that just kinda makes for bad card text. It is also a sad reality of greninja ex, cause it would be a good card not broken. But I think you lose too many KO's without froslass now

[@dexterlabor6]

What about Baxcalibur as a energyzer, palky vstar and hussian basculigeon?

[@InThirdPerson]

That’s certainly a way to play it!

[@cwright2872]

IMO the pidgeot in this deck is kind of redundant, ur first attack does the same thing but puts damage on, i mean ya u can search TWO things every turn but the whole point of pidgeot is it's all u need for epic consistency so it feels like u could be better off putting in more items or supporters, I'm not a pro or some shit but that's just how I feel haha

[@InThirdPerson]

Pidgeot is not redundant. Pidgeot grabs a card before you end your turn. That card before your turn ends can help you further establish your board, grab the energy you need, grab the boss you need, or any number of helpful things that can be accomplished before your turn ends. Greninja only grabs a card AFTER you use that specific attack. Your opponent has an entire turn to Iono that card away. And if you use Greninja's other attack, you don't get to search your deck for a card. Also, if you don't have Greninja set up, you don't get the benefit of searching a card with it. If you set up Pidgeot first, you now have a better chance of getting Greninja online in the first place.

[@hecticcorpse8939]

Hi yesterday on Pokémon tcg live I attached a luminous energy to ground ogerpon for his ground energy and 2 fires for the other energy and it said I couldn’t attack

[@lburwell99]

What's the first thing you'd cut for one more item? I'd really like to add 1 switch card. Actually just got Greninjas this weekend with my son to build a deck, and was happy to see your video show up as I've been deciding on the last few spots. I've played it a little online and I've had a few instances I've just been stuck and lost because I couldn't switch my active. One annoying control card had an attack that prevented me from retreating, I forgot the Pokemon name.

[@MrFLstyle]

Anyone tried radiant blastoise?

[@Lipieckrol]

ARGAAAAAAAH! ITS NOT A GLITCH FFS! You do 120 with 1x Water and 1xDTE! Its DISCARD 2 ENERGY THEN DEAL 120 TO TWO POKEMONS! Once you discard double turbo its NO LONGER ATTACHED TO CARD so why would u do only 100? MIRRAGE BARRAGE DOES 2x120!
