CRUSH the META with this DUGKAZAM Build! - Pokemon TCG Pocket Gameplay

Alakazam does a sneaky amount of damage and dugtrio can live forever if you're good enough at flipping coins! Combine these two together for a really fun deck that can one shot almost everything! It's nice because Alakazam only needs one Psychic energy :)
Today Dekkster will play a little bit of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket I suppose!

2:48 That ranked 8 months after global launch was just a false rumour spread by someone pretending to be a PTCGP dev

[@boopofthegalaxy]

Currently escaping the hurricane (Milton) and these videos are the only thing keeping me sane! THANKS DEKKS! ♥️

[@Jeijard]

Everything is going to be ok (I hope) 💚

[@boopofthegalaxy]

@@Jeijardthank you!

3:16 The game isn't about playing Pokemon, it's about you and your team of Pokemon battling the opponent and their team of Pokemon. Having more Pokemon doesn't win you the game, having the better strategy does, even if that means having fewer potential Pokemon. Even before EX Pokemon became a thing, it was rare to have a higher number of pokemon in your deck than trainer cards. In Base-Jungle format, the best decks have somewhere between 10-22 Pokemon in their 60 card deck, with somewhere between 3-5 different pokemon lines (Bulbasaur>Ivysaur>Venusaur being one line for example). Energy then takes 16-18 slots, and trainers filled out the remaining spots making them the most played cards. And this is kind of an outlier, with surrounding formats focused even more heavily on trainer cards supporting just a few Pokemon and sometimes even less energy (there's a Base-Team Rocket deck with 7 energy and 17 Pokemon). But this also makes sense from a flavor perspective. Trainer cards, and later on supporters and such, represent your influence on the battle. You aren't just a sideliner watching your Pokemon battle for you, you are an active participant. Putting in lots of Pokemon means you participate less in the battle.

[@PandaProhibited]

No EX pokemon in the opening hand would be a huge positive change.

[@PokemonTrainerBrayden]

Finally my daily dose of Poke Dekks! 😆

[@squidyboy7188]

is this better than psychic slumber storm deck u made previously?

[@fizzlefofizzle]

I feel like they should just call this “Pokémon RNG Simulator: Hope’s and Prayers Edition” i know there’s some planning to it but sometimes it seems you can’t do anything to help yourself 😂

[@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc]

Yeah there is 0 consistency in this game. I understand that makes it casual but it's really frustrating

[@fizzlefofizzle]

@@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc agree 100%, built for casual players to be able to hop in and enjoy some Pokémon without having to sweat too much, just like you I know that’s just how it is, I see people conceding second or third turn because they know the outcome already and even at the casual level that shouldn’t really happen

[@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc]

@@fizzlefofizzle guilty of that . If you're swinging at me for 90 on turn 2 and I haven't seen my stage 1 or 2 along with the basic I'm out

[@Jeijard]

All card games are like this. If every card was consistent and didn't have any luck based thing involved, matches would be worse because the person with the best cards/deck would always win. Luck makes every match unpredictable, so even the player with disadvantage can win.

[@ipsumlorem3076]

​@@JeijardInsightful comment!

[@rayprush2064]

in the tcg if you mulligan it allows the other player to draw a card and this stacks for each mulligan until you draw a basic, its there for a reason and i dont know why they removed it, also absolutely the first turn player should be able to place energy especially if they cant attack it makes certain pokemon unplayable like pinsir and persian

[@stevenroberts4356]

I kinda agree with the energy but you can attack turn one with misty.

[@rayprush2064]

@@stevenroberts4356 that is a single card in a single color also if that is actually the case it needs to be patched because turn one no one can attack at all, I'm referring to just placing energy not attacking on turn 1 and specifically not your first turn but the first turn

[@stevenroberts4356]

@@rayprush2064 yes the first turn against a bot I had misty and was able to attack. I'm not arguing against your original statement just stating the fact the turn one player can attack with an energy cheat. I don't care if it's one one card and one color. It is possible in the game. There you go mate.

[@ricardogava3494]

Man, the Abra's Teleport puts him on the banch without loosing the energy, you don't need to use retreat on him...

[@PokeDekks]

that ends your turn

[@SporeVenom]

I really don't like the screen split like that, it's confusing and having to force my eyes jumping around gives a headache. I suggest putting it back to all just one screen

[@blazedaily-1169]

Great Video!

[@funkwavs]

i have saved this deck under the name “magic hole”

[@nwth95]

Do you think there is a technique to winning flips or is it truly random?

[@saturekkesc]

You cant do anything about it. Pure luck

[@Atyourservice9240]

Turn your phone up side down. “Technique winning the flip” tf hahaha.

[@josephlopez038]

Bro I've been playing alakazam tf

[@Jeijard]

I love seeing new creative decks. I'm tired of seeing charizard, mewtwo, starmie and dragonite.

[@TopRivers]

Is that confirmed? 8 months after launch ranked will come out? That's terrible

[@stevenroberts4356]

That was a person impersonating a dev on twitch.

[@jaerelle]

Commenting for algorithm ❤

[@Interstice1994]

Bro that top deck was disgusting

[@KimJongPhil]

im ngl, i was SO hype for this and got so invested really fast. but now that (f2p) im at the progression wall, this is jsut a glorified 12 hr alarm clock with extra steps. the battle system is SO LACKING that i almost dont even wanna keep playing. i already know its not gunna be fun vs all the whales

[@rayprush2064]

they really need to not limit the f2p players in the shop it doesnt make any sense that you can only buy like 15 packs a month with shop tickets they really should just limit the paid experience if they want this game to succeed in the longrun

[@ThatResolves]

Every ex deck has counters in normal cards

[@ThatResolves]

@@rayprush2064 why do you need every card day 1, you’ll still be complete in a month or so

[@iliya1933]

How far into your collection did you get before hitting the collection wall? How many EX’s do you have?

[@ThatResolves]

@@iliya1933 I got the pikachu deck basically straight away, then worked towards mewtwo deck, then got my last piece for starmie ex off wonder trade last night. There are going to be events and trading after the launch and it’s fairly generous right now, just play cos you wanna play you don’t have to have everything to compete there’s a new video every day about like a alakasam deck that’s slamming the one ex decks cos it just does so much damage to them

[@santiagoatehortua5863]

I dont see a way for them to make it so you cannot get an ex in an opening hand. Theyre basic mons and youre guaranteed a basic mon in your first hand. Blocking them like that in a 20 card game would be a waste. The solution is waiting for more cards to come out so things balance out better.

[@iliya1933]

And that’s beside the fact that if your opponent has no benched Pokemon when you KO their active, they lose the game regardless of how many points you have. The only way they could guarantee that you don’t start with an EX basic is by requiring at least one non-EX basic to be in every deck. But that would possibly give cards like Starmie and Exeggutor EX a massive advantage against cards like the legendary bird EX’s, since they wouldn’t need to start with an energy attachment or X Speed to retreat out a different mon before attacking.

[@Jeijard]

​@iliya1933 Some random dude played articuno, then misty, got 3 water energies, killed my bulbasaur and I lost because I didn't have any pokemon on the bench. I hate misty so much.

[@iliya1933]

@@Jeijard lol DANG. I don’t know if you played the original PTCG, but in that game, the player who goes first can attach energy manually once, but they can’t evolve, play supporters OR attack. The player going second can play a supporter and attack, but they can’t evolve. The Misty/Articuno donk would never happen before you’ve had a chance to draw and play more cards to your bench like that (unless you went first and didn’t draw any basics).
