How I won the first Pokemon Pocket Invitational!

[@richmccann2052]

You played like a monster. That final against Venu was amazing. Almost woke up my family when you won!

[@Zekrohm]

You know this game is good when all the Heartstone players moved over. I m so glad to see them play this game. 🤩

[@talesmariano3046]

Congrats! I saw your plays at hoogland channel, and you rocked!

[@cmciff4054]

you were awesome, was watching Jeff's stream and you rocked it!

[@JungzYT]

Hell yeah man, you played super well in this tournament it was awesome to watch. Congrats on 1st!

[@Interstice1994]

That first turn Weezing with Giovanni knocking out Execute was game sealing bro! Gratz on the W

[@SirGenesis206]

Almost card for card I play that water deck. Glad I was on the right track! Congrats on the win. Was watching thru Hoog.

[@Enderos]

Congratz Raven and thanks for the video!

[@grobe_richtung]

Man, that Final was so entertaining to watch GG mate.

[@vFly]

I would love to get into these, it looked like great fun! Congrats on the win bro!

[@jdbecker21]

Congrats again on the win! Played very very well!

[@thomaswayne1852]

Gratz, Raven ^^. I listened to it live. You made nice plays with sound logic. Best wishes, brother ^^

[@DelayedLaunch]

Congrats dude! I love playing Arbok Weezing! As soon as I pull a second Weezing, I'm gonna run your deck over the Pigeot Variant

[@TheBlakeWhitaker]

Congrats man! Great win and well deserved. I learned about your channel from that tournament. Gonna sub to support.

[@jprec5174]

You crushed it man. Good job

[@bubuxviv]

my fav is spragels for both pocket and unite..thanks for joining us in the tournament

[@JuliusGulius]

Nice video, and congrats on the win! It would be nice to have some background music throughout the video though as there was a lot of empty space. Maybe a nice Lofi track or something.

[@JMvdrid]

Raven is great at the game. Also Raven told me to stop by, like and say hes really good at the game so here I am haha

[@WisherZard]

I forgot to comment and like but i must say when i watch every single match .. dammm you did great without using super rare card .. that koga game is awesome ❤

[@Snorlax389]

Raven is really good at this game

[@federicomarti638]

That wheezing deck looks so cool

[@nathansullivan2204]

Whats the point of holding oak? Game 1

[@philiphogg1983]

Can anyone tell me why you would use Sabrina at @42:30 surely its a waste since he can get eggs back in with retreat?

[@ok.3283]

i think it was just a way to make them waste energy

[@ShivanMinstrel]

Amazing run, so fun to watch as a fellow Arbok/Weezing player. I've been trying to get better: do you have any good heuristics you keep in mind? Like, do you find it's better to lead on Koffing or Ekans against certain decks? Or better to play one or the other depending on if you're going first or second?

[@Pianka428]

Love how my day 1 list of golduck starmie is finally showing up. It crushes anything but pika and that’s still winnable rarely

[@Raokeno]

how come you chose to not use professers research sometimes even though you didnt play any other support card?

[@markwilliams5604]

to play around red card

[@Papa-yd9mm]

been loving the starmie deck it feel so much better than the articuno ex version

[@Villain777_]

Just suggesting: It would be cool to have chat on screen. Great video, you are cracked

[@ChrisRLC]

Congrats, I hope plenty of people see this video

[@JamesYang-i4k]

In the first matchup, why not use sabrina to bring mew2 at 50hp finish with tacle 30 plus wekk 20. I perhaps missing something?

[@yareyaredaze9450]

when? i think he had already used a Support card that turn so that was not possible

Can someone please tell me how to play this on pc! My bluestacks just crashes

[@mackowens7234]

How would I go about doing a tournament like you did I’m very interested in competing!

[@linestparfait1680]

I feel like to balance the game 2nd should start with one less card than going 1st. Either draw one less or Give 1st an extra.

[@michaelxie354]

In game 1, why do you not professor's research multiple turns in a row when you don't use other supporters?

[@JoeyHutch]

I didn’t understand this either. Multiple turns where he wasn’t using a supporter but decided not to use research

[@jesseclark24]

Probably knew guy had a red card

[@michaelbutta4764]

@@jesseclark24 He has access to both of his opponents deck lists neither of which run a single copy of red card so it’s sub-optimal to play around that scenario for sure 😂😂

[@AyEsGee]

why ddint he retreat the venu in the last play of the last battle?

[@michaelscott6130]

He couldn’t because of Arboks ability, which prevents him from switching

[@Mateo-ol8ro]

no x speed is kinda shocking for the koga team

[@woaidota]

1:22:01 Why shouldn't he evolves Weezing?

[@Zesshi1]

That's what I want to know too

[@John-df6nm]

I think he was doing the math wrong, but it's technically optimal for these reasons: If Venasaur had more health, like 30, then leaving it as a Koffing is optimal in the case of Sabrina. Since Weezing wouldn't be able to kill the Venasaur (it would be left at 50 health, then take 40 from Weezing) AND Weezing lives the Giant Bloom so Arbok doesn't get a free swap AND Raven would be unable to retreat due to the higher energy cost and no Koga. So Phil would Sabrina out the Weezing, hit with Giant Bloom, Raven would be unable to swap/kill the Venasaur, and on the following turn Phil would retreat to his healthy Venasaur and just take the game from there. If you leave it as Koffing and Phil uses Sabrina then the Venasaur kills the Koffing and Arbok comes in and finishes off the Venasaur. Meaning it's just optimal to leave it as a Koffing in that case no matter what. If they don't Sabrina, that's fine you can just evolve into Weezing the next turn and no harm no foul. Now, we as the viewer obviously know it doesn't matter since Venasaur isn't healthy enough, but I'm guessing Raven was just a little sleep deprived and didn't realize the math behind it. It was a very real possibility if Phil was running potions, but again we know the decklists and he doesn't run potions so it truly didn't matter. And also, if they are healthy enough then it really doesn't matter because they just kill the Arbok and Weezing fails to kill before the retreat, but again probably just sleep deprivation getting to Raven

[@galesal1109]

The first battle with Mewtwo seemed like the opponent could have played it better but they fucked up. Either way congrats

[@nickfrigillana2645]

I think 9 energy might be a bit overkill, but not gonna turn it down lmao

[@melindamuller4466]

I'm missing 5 cards total out of these, three of which are in the Koffing line :(

the first opponent, the meta slave mewtoo and pikatchu player played horribly with that Mewtoo deck. Its so crazy that that deck can push out so many power even in a hand of a morron

[@ArianaRosalia]

I'm confused. The Pokemon Company has not announced any big tournaments for this game. How is this an Invitationals? 🤔 It doesn't say "insert word here Invitational". It just says Pokemon TCG Pocket Invitational, which implies it is official.

[@AnthemTD]

It’s an invitational because it’s invite only. No idea if the organizers are partnered with tcg pocket officially but there are other teams involved with the game aside from the polemon company. I don’t know that they would even be the ones to announce major tournaments for the game. Two other company logos appear when you log into the game as well as tpc

[@ArianaRosalia]

@AnthemTD Yes, but usually if it's an invitational that is not official, you would say "blank or blank's PTCGP invitational", blank being the source of the invitational. If all you have is "PTCGP invitational", then that's wording it like it's official.

[@Giordie_]

Second game in the finals shows how luck based this game unfortunately is, which will make good players leave it

[@anonymousguy121277]

Maybe I'm bad, but this guy seems allergic to playing Prof Research card.. I kept yelling at the screen. I mean he won the tourney and I certainly haven't done that.

[@ravencasts]
