DIPPLIN : Why Is No One Playing This!? Easy 200 - 360 Damage! (TWILIGHT MASQUERADE)

[@TheLinkhawkins]

The game you had against Dragapult is the reason I run a 2-2 Rabsca line haha. Fantastic deck though. If we get a great Hydrapple it could get better.

[@tannermontgomery8177]

Who would win: A literal stealth jet that's also a dragon or the candy apple that I dropped as a kid

[@PopsicleKnight]

Lol, nice analogy.

[@TowanTalks]

On the festival lead decks, been playing the festival engine in decidueye ex. You get a board on goldeen and 3ach turn you can escape with decidueye get your searches then retreat back out.

[@PopsicleKnight]

That's very creative. Nice!

[@slikafboi2737]

I’ve been playing this a lot, I play a 3,2 rellor to make snipe and spread decks a more favorable matchup, but also because dipplin needs so many Pokémon in play. The extra basics always keep the damage high

[@PopsicleKnight]

Wow! That's a lot of Rellor. But that is true, you don't want to run out of basic to bench to increase the attack.

[@piplup2884]

That frostlass deck drooling over this deck

[@PopsicleKnight]

I fought one just recently, it was a teeth clencher, but I managed to get a win on my very last move before all my pokemon died. 😅

[@dannik9932]

Fros is difficult, but if you can take them out early, you can win. It's not hard to take out two Pokemon as they only have 90 HP (frosslass + what they feed me) and I can usually get an attack off before they get their big pokemon evolved. 1 strat I employee to boss up a frosslass, ko it and do the second damage to whatever else is put up. Often times that allows me to take out two or three prizes the next turn: damaged big boy and next frosslass.

[@hotheadsgaming8004]

Facts you can just pass turn to kill everything

[@rocksteadyish]

Doesn’t a Rabsca stop it?

[@realcommunitygamers]

This deck reminds me of the troll coin flip dragapult deck and the salazzle/butterfree deck! Looks like fun times are back!

[@KGAGamer]

I used this deck a while back, slightly different decklist. Used it again recently and actually got basically shut down turn 1 as my opponent's starting active was Flutter Mane... So instantly shut down Festival Lead and prevented me from using Boom Boom or double attacks. (Not to mention I have the WORST luck when it comes to ANY match I play and brick 9 times out of 10...)

[@PopsicleKnight]

Yeah, Flutter Mane is a nuisance. If you can get canceling cologne to turn off flutter mane though, you should be good to go. But I do get those bad RNG days a lot. And not just for one game, but sometimes, like you said 9 out of 10 games. What I do is just stop playing for a bit so I don't get too frustrated, then just try again.

[@casually_lurking]

So, firstly this deck gets stomped by control builds if they fire first. Froslass varients and my Cornerstone Build had a field day with it. Second, the Goldeen with Festival Lead is a good alt' attacker; not much damage but Hammer on a body ain't bad in a pinch.

[@PopsicleKnight]

It won't win every game. But it does most times. 😅 I still gotta try out that Goldeen though.

[@unamusedrowlett6303]

feel like the only thing this deck is missing is a Eternatus Vmax ability that lets you extend the bench. Doubt we will get one anytime soon but it'd be fun.

[@PopsicleKnight]

There is a staium coming soon in a new set that can expand the bench. But yeah, it would be broken.

[@evanchismark3092]

Probably a rhetorical question but after NAIC and VSing it 1st hand, I can tell you. Well technically it wasn't pure festival but a mix of ogerpons, sinistcha ex, and some festival cards. Make of that what you will. Despite having type disadvantage, it looked difficult to set up. Maybe if they could fit thwackey, their consistency would be better. If it weren't for the bigger bodies I mentioned, then the entire deck would be glass cannons. Even ancient box has the potential to survive one hit.

[@PopsicleKnight]

Thank you for that awesome insight and for sharing your firsthand experience.

[@evanchismark3092]

@@PopsicleKnight welcome. I also have some experience with using the deck but I wasn't sure how to put it in my initial comment. I have done the pure build and most of what I said still applies. Thwackey being a soft once per turn searcher is definitely a great advantage but it shares the same problems as dipplin and then some. Another problem I didn't mention with the deck was that cornerstone ogerpon stops it dead in its tracks. The saving grace for that would be rillaboom but if you only have one copy and it's prized, you're done for.

[@dannik9932]

I recommend playing a Goldeen just in case and Roseanne to get that maximum belt and a stadium back. Like you, I also run two Boss and one counter as I don't find myself behind in prizes often. I usually just boss around cornerstone ogerpon with no problem. 2 Boss + pal pad is 4 Boss. The other option is just run Rillaboom. I like your cologne option as well. Something else you might consider is Lana over fishing rod to get the Pokemon directly to your hand. I run one of each. You can get a full dipplin line back to your hand with it for one or less uses of Thwacky. I run one Lana one rod.

[@puyoinator]

I dont like goldeen cuz you have to dedicate too many cards (goldeen and rescue board) just for a niche scenario and you could just cut those for more consistency Lanas aid is a awesome tech that saved me multiple times but you can go either way with 2 super rod or 1-1 of each I have been debating whether to choose roseanne, a 4th poffin, lost vac or enhanced hammer for my deck cuz I have a slot in my deck for one of those four (rn im playing roseanne which saved me in one game)

[@PopsicleKnight]

These are awesome suggestions. Thanks

[@dannik9932]

​​@@puyoinatorthat's a really good list. The only thing I would really get rid of is that professor's research. Every time I used that card I ended up regretting what I had to throw away because it cost me to use resources / boom boom grooves just to get them back instead of focusing on the attack. I think Cynthia or Marty or some other supporter to draw cards without trashing is better. That last buddy buddy could help too. I play 4 cuz I want them in the first or second turn, but as you said Arven helps out. Granted, research gives good setup consistency, but I paid the price for it in like three or four games, so I nixed it. Your car is so good, so it's really up to preference.

[@petergabbert3192]

Maximum Belt is great, but I’ve found Hyper Aroma to be way more useful. I only use Maximum Belt against ex decks, whereas I use Hyper Aroma almost every game on T2 to achieve an instant full setup and then I’m off to the races. It’s an INCREDIBLE consistency booster in conjunction with Arven.

[@rocksteadyish]

Thanks for the tip

[@easyygo3008]

Run 1 Arezu. You only need thwackey for full set-up and you open the ace spec for a better one like stamp, belt or even catcher

[@petergabbert3192]

I like that Hyper Aroma is searchable via Arven, which can also grab a tool. I also run one copy of TM Evolution because of Arven and the double whammy means that I can always set up on T2 so long as I got basics in play on T1. Any tips for consistently flooding the field with basics on T1? I already run 4 Poffin and 4 Bug Catcher but I still don’t see them in my opening hand as often as I’d like

[@easyygo3008]

@@petergabbert3192 Run 3-4 nest, i also run 3 UB. I know arven can search aroma, but aroma is not necessary at all as the thwackey chain does the same thing with just an ub.

Why cologne over rillaboom? Rillaboom serves the same purpose but is easier to grab and can be a good backup attacker just in case. Also this deck is so underrated and got me sooo many wins no idea why no ones playing it

See what you are saying. Hit them for 60 first time. They can’t knock you out and finish them afterwards. Will replace cologne with it.

I thought about adding Rillaboom, but the second attack is not workable since it requires a lot of evergy. And it's first attack doesn't do much damage to make a difference.

Rillaboom shuts the engine down. You can't search while it is on the active

Use Flutter Mane in your deck to turn off Applin's ability.

[@siawtenhao6886]

Ancient box can counter this box , since ancient box runs 4 pokestops

[@supr3meguardian818]

I don't fully agree, cause the mons in ancient box are either weak to dipplin's attack (like moon) or they don't have enough HP (like flutter mane). So if you're carefull you'll have a new dipplin ready to go every new turn and you can just bump the pokéstop with your stadium through boom boom groove. And even if all your stadium cards are gone, I play at least 1 roseanne's backup so I can get a stadium back. I think that dipplin should easily be able to win.

[@PopsicleKnight]

Roaring Moon is weak against grass. However, if they utilize Flutter Mane strategically, they actually have a good chance of winning against this build, especially if you cannot use your ability.

[@supr3meguardian818]

@@PopsicleKnight Yeah, but when flutter mane dies from the first 100 damage, wouldn't dipplin's 2nd attack still go through? Cause it is knocked out and no longer in the active spot 🤔

Pokestop has nothing to do with the MU, trying to outrun the stadium count is a poor strategy vs festival. They always have one and can recycle them at will.

If festival runs stamp + eri (which they should), the mu is free as long as you can set-up, but lost box is so slow, you will pull through. Not even sableye is a threat dueto 2-2 rabsca i have seen people play commonly
