Charizard EX Deck Can't Be Stopped! | Pokemon TCG Pocket

[@A-lik]

Charizard EX doesn't need to be stopped if he never gets going. *My Charizard EX deck is named "Ash's useless Zard" cause he NEVER COOPERATES!!!* Edit: I suppose it's fair to mention that I don't have Moltres. Zard doesn't like to get up for work on time without his Moltres sugar daddy. Well, I recently opened more packs, annnnnd... I still don't have Moltres. But I have an alternative! I call it "Lard-Zard". Double Charizard EX line Double Meowth Double Snorlax It's painfully slow, but when you lack the ideal cards, you just gotta cope.

[@mr.wiiick2772]

Seriously!! I never get the cards on time man… the combo works every now and then

[@nikunjkhangwal]

Naah. Mine works most times. Are you not taking two cards for every char stage and moltres? I got my 45th win and golden badge with it.

I'd recommend swapping out the red card and hand scope for 2 fossils. Sabrina can be devastating

[@MCoTEDDY]

@@SurrealKeenan yeah hand scope + red card is an odd choice. You're essentially playing with 2 cards less in your own deck. 2 fossils are much stronger and provide more versatility to your deck

[@redulus1792]

With how hard red card punishes meta decks you'll eventually see a lot of good players using it

[@Marowakie]

@@redulus1792 red card is still RNG, two fossils is basically like a shield for u especially in the charizard deck where u have one clear objective for u to achieve. Fossils have won me a lot of games believe it or not.

[@yuujin9893]

fossil tech is underrated, especially against a red card and/or sabrina

[@animalchin5082]

I think you might want both. Fossil tech and one red card cause it punishes evo-reliant decks and stuff like Blaine which can pressure us down.

[@Johnny2Cellos]

Loving the TCG Pocket content man, really impressed by how thoroughly you’re covering everything. Man, I love this game.

[@d1fferen7]

I decided to give Char EX a try. Definitely a good deck. Moltres EX can provide tons of energy if you mange to keep it alive until your Charizard is on the field.

[@Pun116]

Keep it alive? The whole point of Moltres is to die while charging up dragon.

[@pjanderson4876]

I think having a couple fossils would be more beneficial in the Char deck than having the scope and red card. Scope and card work best together, and they can feel like bricks if you don’t have the other. At least Fossil can help prevent your baby Charmander from getting Sabrina’d and picked off before you get it evolved.

[@youknowwhoiam6164]

I’ve probably got around 10 matches in with this deck and I love using scope around mid game, when you can tell they’re looking or have their evolutions in their hand 🤣 with the two Xspeeds, I found it very uncommon that my Charmander was getting picked off because I could swap him for free

[@DonbotS]

This deck is vulnerable to energy issues if your ordering/positioning is disrupted or you have a bad starting hand//coin flip luck. I like having fossils because it's self-discard affect is essentially a free retreat, insulates your bench against Sabrina, and is only worth 1 point if it gets KO'd (some games you might have a Charmander or another fossil knocked out and you absolutely need a non-EX to tank sometimes).

[@pig3032]

Congratulations for your insanely fast-growing channel!

title: Can't be stopped. Spragels in video: Char SUCKS!!!!!

[@tj1622]

I like to run rapidash in my char ex deck. You can apply pressure and make them think about what mon to have active. It seems to make the deck more consistant imo. It gives you an alt gameplan if you can't get char online early game.

[@stefanmihic6153]

[@jimboUnite]

Never thought id see moltres 18 trainers

[@animalchin5082]

Based lmao, I've seen Zapdos 18 before.

[@m1j1browning]

As someone who has almost exclusively used Char since launch (because it's all I have) the first battle here showed me how vital deck knowledge and experience was. There was never any question you should have been bringing in a 5 energy Char to KO Zapdos and get 2 points knowing you could kill whatever else came in.... and then on the next turn retreating Charmander was a waste, you could have just let it die to bring Char back in and if they Sabrina'ed you who cares because they couldn't kill you. I do agree on the whole though that Zard is a frustrating deck when it goes wrong, the only decision I ever had to make with mine was "Am I giving up on Zard here and hoping Arcanine is enough?" I still haven't got Moltres EX though so....

[@m1j1browning]

That throw in Game 2 as well.... why is he KOing a Moltres with less health and zero energy over KOing a Moltres with more health and full energy? Ridiculous from the opponent.

[@Boss_Battle_E]

Next EX I want is Pidgeot. Was my favorite Pokémon when I started on red many moons ago and still is one of my favs to this day.

[@Ra18To]

It‘s in my opinion one of the most „high risk high reward“ decks in the game. Even Articuno/Misty has backup plans (Starmie EX etc…)

[@youknowwhoiam6164]

I just have to say, i appreciate you for showing me this deck, I was thinkering with a Charizard deck but I just couldn’t get it right, saw this video noticed I had all the card necessary and now I’m racking in those wins, currently at 36, so thank you, I definitely subbed and am looking forward to future vids

[@youknowwhoiam6164]

Got the 45 this morning

[@kevinr.3107]

5:09 absolutely no reason to stall here, when you can attach 5 energy to Char and win 2 points, it's GG in that kinda situation

[@_velvet_2744]

I run two Meowth in this. Helps me draw when i start with a bad hand, easy to retreat, removed one Sabrina because it gets in the starting hand too often and removed a potion.

[@Pun116]

But that further ruins the consistency of your guaranteed basic in your opening hand and Poke Ball, your best item in the deck.

[@gisblushie947]

Spragelsssss, the deck is better with one Moltres EX and two Rapidash lines. U have to sacrifice the X-Speeds, one Sabrina and the hard scope but hear me out: 1.- The deck has a fast aggro response vs Pikachu decks. I battled dozens of those decks and only had a few loses 2.- The deck is more consistent because don't rely on coin flips to charge the Zard 3.- Is faster to charge than a Mew2 deck 4.- U pull pokes more consistently, and the cards u can pull are suuuuper useful, early and late game. 5. Two red cards can disturb any setup u can think off Just play it pleaseeeeeee

[@robertvalentine8833]

New to your channel since I downloaded PTCGP but have been enjoying it. That said, the battles in this one mostly showcased opponents with bad hands or even bad choices. Second Pikachu EX fight would have been won by the opponent even, had they not made the mistake of swapping the Moltress with all the energy to the bench. Overall, the Charizard EX deck doesn't seem like it comes online fast enough most of the time.

[@logangonzalez2892]

I think a cool EX to add to the game would be absol. I’d honestly be hyped for a card like that

[@ΓεώργιοςΚατσικάρος]

My Charizard deck has 13 wins in a row. My favourite card. Need to put ranked to the game.

[@LynnLyns]

Ngl, if Pokemon decides to add Rare Candy into the game or TM Evolution this deck is going to rise in power A LOT

[@Pun116]

If it even gets a stage Poke Ball in the next set or two, it will scale quite high.

[@RockLucena]

I'm surprised Alakazam and Dragonite didn't get an ex card, honestly. And Nidoking/Nidoqueen, Melmetal should have theirs.

[@theadmiral4157]

They will probably get theirs in the future updates

[@hiddenpassive7280]

I wish you showed matches where you went first. Showing how the deck performs when you aren't putting energy down first I think would be a good showing of the deck.

[@BLourenco96]

This deck is one of the few that doesn't mind going first. One of the only benefits of going first is being able to evolve first, which this deck can make use of. The only penalty of going first is no Energy, which doesn't matter because Moltres is going to generate so much energy anyways.

[@jaxsyn_]

Best deck ive used by far is double dragonite line, double jolteon line, two articunos, two misty, two xspeed, two prof, two poke ball

[@josephrivera6650]

I have a Zard Blaine deck, does pretty well, usually it takes out Mewtwo since you run into it like 60% of the time.

[@Bigwakejake8]

I combine this and a Blaine deck with the rapidash line and a farfetched. Gives a little more versatility to counter weaknesses early on while building. A surprise 70 damage from dash is clutch at times

[@codekinga1346]

Don’t forget about the ZAPDOS .. also does 200 damage if all coins are head !

[@aidandavies5982]

I’ve been running a variation of this deck with centiskorch instead of char ex just cause my abysmal pack luck has prevented me from getting a single char ex yet but it is suuuuch a fun deck

[@theadmiral4157]

Centiskorch is a good sub if you don't have both charizard and arcanine yet

[@Funonbinary]

Baby moltres fits really well in this deck! 1 retreat cost, 100hp are really good numbers and then sometimes in desperate times you flip a heads and instakill a pika/starmie ex with a 1 prizer

[@revo5124]

One shot by pikachu

[@salvadorsalgado5212]

I don't have charizard EX but I'm having fun with the poor man's charizard, my man centiscorch lmao. I'm having fun fitting him into double energy decks (they're inconsistent but I don't care, they're super fun), since at first he can fight with any energy, and the he only needs 1 fire energy, it can fit very well into those decks. I DESTROYED a weezing using 2 centiscorch, 1 starmie, 1 regular articuno and 1 snorlax (i only have 1 normal Articuno, but you could change lax for that or maybe regular lapras). If you're lucky with the mistys articuno can cause havock, if not, he's a decent wall with only 1 retreat cost. In the end i had my centiscorch with 3 fire energy's and 2 waters, there's was nothing ge could do, he didn't have enough damage or time to kill me, i one shoted every thing and if he used sabrina, i had a healthy starmie to escape his weezing

[@rigobertogomez25]

Love your content dude. 🎉🎉🎉

[@erieldelgado5319]

The 3rd evolution of bisharp is the next Ex that should be added to the game or Crobat ex.

[@MrsStink]

If y’all can’t can’t get moltres like me and are just stacking up the card points you should try running a double vulpix and double nine tails deck with the Blaine support card. You can win almost every early game.

[@BaxsStudios]

I just wanted to pull a starmie for my Blastoise deck ended up with a charizard deck because I got 2 Moltress and 2 Charizard exs before a single starmie. Cant complain Moltress is so much better then freaking misty

[@Flaris]

I'm enjoying Charizard so far. Even if I can't get that second Moltres EX to fully round out the roster. But Charizard is fun. Need some luck to be sure. But if you get him set on the field...just nukes everything. And with so many EX Pokemon out there...he only needs to attack twice!

[@Presi22]

I´m playing 1 char ez and 1 centiskorch, being a Stage1 is so huge, killed many enemys so far with its 130 and with giovarni it 1shots many Ex´es. Pika exc decks get roasted, as well as Starmie. Can come in glutch and most people have it. + only the lose of only 1 Fire Energy is also nice, so back to back attacks

Any deck right now that requires multiple evolution stages, have way too much rng to win consistently. The reason why pikachu does so well is because its way more consistent than its competitors. We need more cards that'll make these decks consistent.
