Metagross/Dragonite "MetaNite" - Pokemon RS-PK Format

[@itsjusttech9374]

Love the list! Just been loving all of your 04 and rs-pk profiles lately. Would love to see your take on some of the more under-explored archetypes of rs-pk like the lati@s deck and ray delta deck, I’ve seen some japanese lists floating around but would love a video covering archetypes like those. Pretty much that entire era is so nostalgic for me if anything just keep doing what you’re doing man!

Great video, Jay! I really like the concept of Lugia in this deck. I‘m really looking forward to you covering Shiftry ex, I think it‘s got amazing potential

[@thelostzonetcg]

I have a Shiftry deck in the works

[@benhaas5169]

@@thelostzonetcg I'm looking forward to your take on Shiftry ex, too. I feel like I have a good handle on RS-PK deck building, but a few decks are still head-scratchers. Shiftry ex is one (the other is Rock Lock).

Excellent Video bro!

[@tylerrenfro2773]

A dragtrode deck profile would be cool

[@thelostzonetcg]

It's on my list!

[@tylerrenfro2773]

@@thelostzonetcg Awesome! Keep up the videos. I love your deck profiles

Now this might be unpopular and not really on your radar, but I would personally really like to see your take on Meganium Prime, in any format that it was legal in. It's just something I would enjoy. In general some lesser known or off-meta decks are what would interest me the most. But I also like your style in general, so keep up the good work :)

[@thelostzonetcg]

I haven't done a ton with Meganium...but certainly have some off meta decks to choose from ;)

[@polymerization9534]

I think it has potential in the 2010 format. I'd like to try it with the energy doubling Sceptile someday, although it's admittedly low on my list of decks to build :)

Love you

[@SailboatAqua]

Do a shifty deck video

[@thelostzonetcg]

@@SailboatAqua oh for you Toby we'll make it happen soon.

[@SailboatAqua]

Shifty ex was one of my favorite decks during the HP on format. I got second at a few tournaments with it. It was turn to turn 1 Dirge people hahaha

[@SailboatAqua]

Are there any meganium ex decks in rspk?

[@polymerization9534]

Thanks for breaking down the meta :---) The times that I've played this deck, it feels like it's 'overheating' when I try to go in with a crush and burn. I've tried swinging with Dragonite the first few turns to stack energies and get damage in. It feels a little weird though. Do you find yourself doing the same?

[@thelostzonetcg]

um...honestly no. I try to use Lugia against high HP Pokemon EX ideally. Than with Metagross you got to decide if it's a 1HKO or a 2HKO. Sometimes it can be better to settle for a 2HKO based on the situation.

[@polymerization9534]

@@thelostzonetcg thanks I'll keep that in mind. I have no lugia for this deck over the table, unfortunately, but I love the idea and I'll keep an eye on the cardpool for tech attackers in malam- I mean metanite

[@benhaas5169]

Are you saying that the pool of players you're playing these tournaments with are tending toward the same decks due to their personal preferences (e.g. Player A really likes DragTrode, while Player B really likes Arcanine ex, versus their choices being random)? Or, are you saying that the massive deck library of RS-PK is a mirage?

[@thelostzonetcg]

Yes and No...what I was talking about in the video is how the RS-PK format continues to evolve and rotate. Dark Steelix was huge for a few weeks so you started to see LBS creep up a little, and then Dragtrode started popping up more to counter the LBS. You get a feel for these trends and where its going.
