Best KZbinr on the subject. Calmly talking l, clear explanation, entertaining and informative. Well done! As for Blastoise faced it actually this morning. It was wild.

Thanks for this! Love my Blastoise deck and wish there was more content on it. It’s not the best deck, but it’s still fun to play and has its competitive moments!

@joshijo53 6 ай бұрын

I’ve been playing since 2 days (I replaced Melony with Lady to speed up energy gathering). I’m impressed, I’m in love. I was using pokestop + chien pao but i hate how much energy I have to discard with Chien Pao…but here we have the perfect balance with blastoise, my favorite pokemon since I was a kid.

@DogginsFroggins 7 ай бұрын

bit of a loaded question but do you think this deck has potential after rotation?

@nickalater 7 ай бұрын

For a locals it does. If its attack was one energy or if it had an energy acceleration effect, it would be WAY better. Might be tricky since Miraidon/Iron hand decks will be heavily in the format. Charizard will still be a pain and Roaring moon can insta KO. Other than those few decks, you'll have competitive matchups.

You can pair with bacxcalibur with its super cold ability maybe but both are a stage 2 Pokémon it might just take a min to setup

The huge problem is... No VIP. It's gonna be hard to get Palkia and Greninja. You need both to speed up your game. Ditto could help? Yes. I'm also thinking about Basculin. If you don't start, you will be able to pick more 2 basic with Basculin's attack. I love Blastoise, I'll really try to make it viable. With that +50 atk, it's gonna hit 330. I need to find a way.

Yea I put this deck together and took it to the ladder, people just struggle with it. Consistently hits for 280, and the option to only discard one energy for 140 damage is huge against single prizers to conserve energy. You have the Palkia+Greninja engine for quick two prizes if opponent is still setting up. Started 7-1 with this deck and since have still seen success more than failures. P.S. Watching people use Pokestop in a deck that is not built around it is baffling at times. Game 1 for example, putting that reversal in the bin was huge. Like moths to flame, people just can’t help it sometimes.

Mind making an updated vid or if possible just give out suggestions for things to replace the "E" cards? Just started playing like a day ago and I wanted to try this deck out but it seems I can't use a few things you have mentioned in this video. I'm also not experienced enough to know what other cards to use instead. Thanks in advance.

While I certainly will cover Blastoise again, it’s very low on my priority list due to how recent this one was. In the meantime, here are a bunch of post-rotation top 16 Blastoise deck lists from Japan! pokecabook.com/archives/53017

So, you inspired me to play Palkia/Rider, Chien-Pao/Bax, and now this... between the decks, which is better positioned for now, and which one post-rotation?

@InThirdPerson 7 ай бұрын

Ice Rider is rotating very soon, so that’s out of the question. The answer to both is Chien-Pao, though Palkia can also serve as a support Pokemon in many decks, such as Gholdengo, Walking Wake, and even Chien-Pao.

Using Blastoise, I'm X-0 against Lost Tina and doing really well against other meta decks. There are 2 problems: Miraidon and Roaring Moon

Thank you so much for this Blastoise deck… I think not only me but a lot of people love Blastoise and enjoy watching it playing. I would love to test this list but are you sure bibarel and lumineon can’t help it?

@InThirdPerson 6 ай бұрын

I have no problem with squeezing Bibarel in there. Lumineon can be handy but it gives your opponent an easy 2-prize target to bypass Blastoise.

@marsdavis6152 7 ай бұрын

In the last game against chien pao, at around 26:54 you preemptively used the switch into the palkia. You could have instead knowing they likely play baxcaliber saved the switch for next turn knowing they can’t attack turn 1. Then on your next turn if your opponent doesn’t play manaphy which in this game they didn’t, you could’ve used greninja to ko two frigibax and cripple their setup and take a prize advantage. And if they did play manaphy you could’ve still made the play you made. Just don’t play the switch too early because greninja has a very good attack you shouldn’t forget about.

@23:07 why couldnt you have used your blastoise with 2 energy to kill the enemy?

@InThirdPerson 6 ай бұрын

Blastoise needs to discard energy from hand in order to attack. All 10 of my energy was accounted for (2 on Blastoise and 8 in the discard pile), which means I had no way to attack until I could get energy back in my hand.

Thoughts on Pidgeot ex in this? I tend to run my Blastoise deck like a zard deck.

@InThirdPerson 6 ай бұрын

I understand the logic of styling it after a Charizard deck. No qualms from me there. Just keep in mind that post-rotation, Bibarel is projecting to be the go-to draw engine for Charizard. This variant is currently crushing Japan and it’s likely to carry over over outside of Japan too.

@TheStormRogue 6 ай бұрын

Interesting. So Blastoise EX bibarel could be good too yeah? Right now Zard Pidgeot is better in pre rotation format right? Also what is changing that makes bib zard better?@@InThirdPerson

@InThirdPerson 6 ай бұрын

I think Bibarel in Blastoise is totally fine. And yes, Pidgeot is currently the best way to play Charizard pre-rotation. Post-rotation, the Bibarel version has become the #1 way to play Charizard. Here’s the latest tier-list from OmniPoke based on recent tournament results from Japan. x.com/omni_joe/status/1765378102933270562?s=46&t=WvvseieK6nMMQ6rerZFlFw Some factors that could have launched Bibarel to the top: - Bibarel is easier to set up - Bidoof can’t be bench sniped by Greninja or anything that does bench damage (can still get hit by damage counters) - Bibarel won’t get destroyed by Devolution, which has become a very popular tech against Charizard - Bibarel only drops 1 prize, vs. Pidgeot potentially being a 2-prize liability - the new card Ciphermaniac’s Codebreaking lets you stack the deck with any 2 cards of your choice, which you can then draw with Bibarel All that said, Charizard Pidgeot is no slouch as the 3rd best deck. And to Joe’s point in the tweet, some players are trying to mash Bibarel and Pidgeot into the deck. Tord did just that (and much more) in his binder drop Charizard deck from this past weekend’s major tournament and he finished 4th. limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/10361

I still have little desire to go back to playing ptcg live. The app button is collecting dust after switching over. Not a lot of variety of ways to play, fun ways and be creative with these boring special energy, item and supporter cards with scarlet and violet sets. My old 1 energy Poison Shout telescopic sight Toxtricity (with radiant sneasler), jolteon vmwx and Big Sparkling raichu snipe deck was a k!ller😭 good times The math was usually in my favor. Gotta take out 4 toxtricity and a vmax jolteon. But the spread and snipe damages were TOO GOOD. And for mew bench barrier. Easy solution. Boss order + poison shout+ radiant sneasler= gone mew. The math was still in my favor.
