NEW Marshadow Deck Is One Of My All Time Favorite Pokemon TCG Pocket Decks

[@Bodgie7878]

My maaaaan you gotta stop throwing away the giovanni's, that first gio didnt change any breakpoints and couldve been used later for the second Ralts pickup

[@Not_An_EV]

It's the hallmark of a good player. An ok player knows what the cards do. A good player knows when to play those cards and how they can be played against them.

[@Jiroscopio_]

Pretty sure the first Giovanni covered for a potential potion play (since he could Giovanni again next turn for a total +20 damage)

[@GorillaGunner94]

It’s like when I see players use Blue to survive non lethal damage. Like you get the idea but you could have saved it when it mattered

[@Bodgie7878]

@@Jiroscopio_ Covering for a potential potion seems less valuable to me than saving it for a guaranteed KO, or changing how many rounds it's going to take you to KO a pokemon

[@spragelsPocket]

@@Bodgie7878 you’re right I sometimes use gio in places that don’t give enough value. I’m not sure which moment you are talking about but this is something I’ve been focusing on improving 🤠

“Mid-way point of the video” and we’re only like 25% done 😂 8:15

[@rayman17420]

Personally i like Wheezing/Scolipede in terms of the more meta decks but a Drudg/Pigeot EX deck can be fun as hell. Plus it gives me a reason to break out the pokemon flute. Also its amazing how many players forget how Pigeot EX works and they'll just load up their bench for me.

[@joriggs-h4j]

8:15 Most fun deck Im playing is a No Misty Vaporeon Lumineon Starmie ex deck. 2 x Staryu 1 x Starmie 2 x Starmie EX 2 x MI Eevee 2 x MI Vaporeon 2 x Finneon 2 x Lumineon 2 x Pokeball 2 x Professors Research 1 x Giovanni 1 x Sabrina 1 x Leaf Able to switch around Vaporeon, Starmie and Lumineon to hit active and bench freely. Vaporeon doesn't stay on the bench sharing it's bulk hp with Starmie and Lumineon. Vaporeon and Starmie/EX deals 100/150 damage together in one switch. Could run on 2 energy once 1 Vaporeon and 1 Starmie or Lumineon is up so no Misty coin flips required.

[@ZenCrypto-ov8zj]

This sounds really fun. I am going to give it a go. I only have one Starmie EX so I might need to sub in something else for the time being. Bruxish might actually be a pretty solid choice. We will see

[@joriggs-h4j]

@@ZenCrypto-ov8zj Thank you. I was thinking you could replace the Starmie ex with another Sabrina or Giovanni since Bruxish might interfere with getting the right basic Pokemon in the opening hand or through Pokeball. Baby Starmie is good if you start first or Starmie ex if you are second. Hopefully it worked well for you too 👍

[@yummyputty3380]

8:15 I made a deck I call “Florges Cover Girl” its 2 of the florges line, 1 mew ex, 2 sigilyph, 1 budding expeditioner, 2 xspeed, 2 prof research, 2 sabrina, 2 pokeball or slab, and 2 giovanni. I have had amazing success with this one

[@grtfl_thank]

I run something very similar with Pidgeot EX instead of Florges and Pokémon Flute instead of slab but only one Sigilyph, have you considered/tried using only one Sigilyph for better Basic pulls and leaves room for more slabs? Otherwise I rly like this deck :)

[@RakanOTP]

Can confirm this deck is the most fun I’ve had since the new booster came out. And I’ve had quite a bit of fun since then. Thanks for the deck spragels!

[@MrRubixscube]

i think during the turn at 30:00, the guaranteed win was to kick the druddigon, leaving it at 10 hp. they had already used both potions, so you could have KO'd it on the next turn in the active and on the bench, as they had no way to KO your hitmonlee

[@TheNinetyFirstPeanut]

I noticed that too. Im sure that guy was really salty when his dragonite missed, especially with how likely it was. Guaranteed win 50 50 50 50 100 100 very likely win 50 50 100 Equally likely (I think) 50 150 Guarunteed loss 200

[@natehinxman9050]

i been hooked on the sneaky lee deck for like 3 days now. hahaha happy holidays, jake!

[@ra_strawberry]

12:41 He said clever girl to Luigi lmao

[@TheNinetyFirstPeanut]

30:05 Both potions are gone. Attack with fresh primape. Checkmate with hitmonlee. That guy was probably very happy and confused to see sabrina.

[@Radude88]

I've been thinking of making such a similar deck. I wanted another rush deck that wasn't Blaine. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

[@bGOD]

I wouldn't consider it a rush deck. It's more of a control fighting deck lol

[@joriggs-h4j]

If you like aggro decks you could try this Florges Clefable deck. 2 x Clefairy 2 x Clefable 2 x Flebebe 2 x Floette 2 x Florges 2 x Jynx 2 x Pokeball 2 x Professors Research 2 x Giovanni 1 x Sabrina 1 x X speed Switch between Floette/Florges and Clefable to attack. Easy to switch around with 1 retreat cost. They'll share the damage maximizing Florges heal. Jynx on the bench charged up with 1 energy to hit those energy hungry Pokemons like Celebi. No weakness to Dark except Jynx. Only burst damage >100hp from Jynx though which could be unreliable.

[@alirehman4858]

Vaporean Gary ex deck is pretty amazing. rotating around just 4-5 energies throughout the game with Vaporean seems oddly satisfying. And when Gary ex on the active slot and ppl just concede realising what u are doing as u’re giving Gary ur energy from here and there. Don’t think many ppl know about new Vaporean’s ability and how useful it is.

[@MaFiaStYle1780]

Made a “Don’t Act” deck. 2 cramorant, 2x omastar evo line, 1 pokeball, 2 prof, 1 gio, 1 leaf, 2 xspeed, 2 sabrina, 2 misty, 1 potion. lotta fun! lotta wild finagling. ive had some killer matches and some crushing defeats. lotta rage quitting opponents

[@CloudOf2morow]

@@MaFiaStYle1780 just tried it, poor gyrados 🤦‍♂️

[@gogobware1601]

Yes! I feel validated 😂 built almost exactly this deck on my own (except I used the promo mankey) and it is sooo good! Glad you enjoy it as much as I did!

[@MushroomKingMusic]

I've always thought mythical island Primeape was being slept on. 50 dmg for 1 energy is so efficient. I run this deck with 1 copy of tauros instead of blue because of the amount of ex pokemons running around; makes easy work of celebi, mew, starmie and pikachu. It does however struggle vs the popular golem version running around. A tanky non ex is the bane of this deck's existence.

[@johanjacobsen8932]

30:40 couldn’t he just attack with Primeape, let his opponent do whatever and then Sabrina next turn instead, retreat in Hitmonlee and kill it?

[@EstebanSilvaC]

Yup, I thought he was gonna mess it up, but Dragonite made the rest of the job

[@souptrev]

Been playing a non EX Exeggutor with Serperior. It pretty much beats any deck that relies on getting stupid amounts of energy: Charizard, Celebi, water decks that get really lucky with Misty. Egg will usually KO them in one hit while using only two energy if Serp is on the bench. Since egg isnt being played too much right now from what I’ve seen, I think people underestimate his power lol

[@frobo]

finally a marshadow deck!! one of my favourite mons

[@rayman17420]

Hes become one of my favorites by default as I canr stop getting the lil bastard including like 4 full art version. So im glad there's some decks to use him in at least

[@morgan3714]

Wouldn’t you getting him so many times result in you disliking him more?

[@dummerbulblin8444]

First match probably wasn't a check mate. I mean obviously the enemy new his hand cards and if he really didn't have any heal or usefull trainer cards left, then he would have needed decent luch wirh the cards he pulled in his next 2 turns. But switching to Mewtoo to finish primate, then surving marshadow's attack with 50 (or 40 hp left) and then killing it with 150 damage would have meant he just needs to survive the next attack. Just one heal and guardevoir within the next 2 rounds or the trainer where you can take Mew on your hand with full health would have been enough. It was simply too early to give up. Anyways, I think the deck shown here is decently good. I personally still prefer the version with Farfetch'd and Mew. :)

[@williamtrowbridge4868]

No way, I literally just had the idea for a new Primape + Marshadow deck this morning. Gonna steal this deck list cause mine was garbage.

[@ZenCrypto-ov8zj]

My man this deck is so fun. I just set it up and am crushing it. It makes very short work of the Gary meta. With a Hitmonlee starter, they cannot put in Gary and just sit there unable to do anything other than throw shurikens

[@notverybright9825]

I use another variation of this deck since the released of Mythical Island. It's a combination of this Primape + Marshadow + Aerodactyl + Giovanni & red card to prevent your opponent from evolving or building up. It's an agro deck that you want to start first sometimes for that 50 damage right from the get go.

[@goodrtt]

I’ve been having lots of fun with Alakazam and Beheeyem. 1 tapping EXs with Psychic is so satisfying.

[@kellenblackman483]

The most fun I’ve had is Starmie Greninja without misty. It’s fast, consistent and flexible.

[@Sabre5106]

Deck I've had the most fun with since before even Mythical Island has to be Alakazam/Clefable. Mythical Slab and the new Trainer cards have been such a buff to it too. If Alakazam doesn't perfectly KO the mon, usually a Giovanni or Clefable chip damage gets it there. PERFECTLY hits so many meta HP breakpoints like 120hp, 150hp etc.

[@ethanwiles4006]

The most fun deck for me to play in Genetic Apex was Wigglytuff + Weezing and the deck im having the most fun with in Mythical Island is Gyrados + Druddigon + Greninja. Feels so good beating up on Mewtwo players lol

[@neekless]

Do we really need the ipad overlay? I feel it'll be better if the gameplay was enlarged to fit the vertical height of the video

[@knockz9930]

@spragelsPocket Try this deck out 2 chatot 2 areodactyl ex 2 Old amber 2 dome fossil 2 kabuto 2 kabutops 2 x speed 2 sabarina 1 Giovanni 1 potion You can make some adjustments but the main idea is getting one of the fossil line to fully evolve

[@oohitzmario]

interesting to learn that poison doesnt trigger cards like that, never thought of that

[@matthewsteele3463]

I like Drudd, New Rapidash, Greninja. Honestly super fun to actually attack with Drudd. Does only run 8 trainers though.

[@TorreyS8809]

The issue with mew two decks for me isn't the deck. They have 1 win con yet play slower than controls.

[@SamuraiXSlayr]

I was running this deck but with the self-inflicting Mankey and old Primeape. However, I like what you have here. May need to give it a (poke)whirl!!

[@PsychoPenguin1919]

32:10 I was rooting for you, and *even I* was infuriated on the other's guys behalf lol. So lucky. EDIT: Also this deck is really fun, thanks for sharing it!

[@dorrelmatad160]

That whole last half ot that match was one big misplay :(

[@sassano.10]

Been running this with promo Mankey and old primape and threw in 1 mew as well. Fun but also feels super strong

[@nardouzimaky8410]

My most fun deck to play is a 100% gamba Electric deck where EVERY pokemon has devastating coinflip potential in relation to the energy cost of their attacks. It's surprisingly consistent... except for when it isn't 😈 the game is almost purely luck-based and this deck fully embraces that. 2x Kangaskhan 2x (new) Eevee 2x Jolteon 2x Zapdos EX 2x Potion 2x X-Speed 2x Sabrina 2x Giovanni 2x Pokeball 2x Professor's Research Ideally I lead with Kanga and attack until he's dead while building 2 energy on Jolteon, then swing with Jolteon until it's dead while building energy on Zapdos. Buy time with Potions and Sabrinas where needed.

[@GoldStorm07]

I really wanna try Marsh with Greninja and Druddigon, a ton of chip damage to set up for Revenge should cleave through most decks.

[@JRR31]

Druddigons ability doesn't activate the extra damage from marshadow..... Greninjas probably does, but it needs to be direct damage from an attack

[@GoldStorm07]

@@JRR31 Other way around, Water Shuriken and Rough Skin are meant to whittle EX Pokémon down into Revenge range. Mist Slash and Revenge each only require one colored energy so a Water/Fighting dual build is viable.

[@KHfreak21theOG]

can someone please explain the deck, i have watched the video couple of times now but i don't get it, i understand Marshadow's role but why Hitmonlee and Mankey/Primeape, and why is is it called sneaky lee

[@krishyboystha]

I like this deck, I've been running like the same thing but with the exact opposite monkeys so I've got the mythical mankey and the apex primeape, marshadow + primeape + farfetchd/hitmonlee really makes the opponent shake their head

[@AnthonyTumiwa]

wow so many new Hitmonlee deck variation lately. Hitmonlee, Marshadow, Golem, Brock, Primeape, Farfetch'd What is next, hitmonchan?😁

[@Grim_medic]

With the low energy use, use the other primemate. Super meta against druggen

[@UnionizedCrackerbarrel]

No Ex Articuno + Hypo + Tentacruel is still the most fun I’ve had in this game.

[@erikmarez1464]

You named this deck sneaky Lee!! I’m dead 😂😂 👏👏

[@ItsDaWorm1]

Machamp Ex with Marshadow and Kangaskhan is my favorite deck atm!!!

[@Grim_medic]

Ive always loved golem, ever since 99. Im very happy thry made a decent golem that is really fun to play. I run 2 marshaows

[@R3dScythe]

HOLY COW, I LITERALLY MADE THIS DECK CARD FOR CARD, I ALSO MADE ONE WITH FARFETCHED.

[@Milo-SelfEsteem]

How useful is Blue in this deck? I don't remembering you using it once the whole video. You even started with it in your hand during that last game and still never used it. Wondering if I should throw in the extra potion instead. Or maybe even the anti-Ex Tauros.

[@timfertig9796]

He used it for hitmonlee in the Second match to prevent it From getting knocked by kadabra

[@sinkintomenewagain]

Ive been playing Flareon (2), Greninja (2), Drud (1) and wrecking meta decks

[@eriochromeblackt3021]

My version of this is with Marowak/Primape/Marshadow. I use Marowak as a late game sweeper.

[@OriginalRyan]

I like the Scolipede build. I just need another Leaf. Tough to get. I use a new Eevee as a block though. Sometimes I get lucky with continuous slap.

[@JohnDoe-tp2xy]

Very fun deck. Started 3-0 against Gyrados, Golem, and the same deck. Got mashed by Celebi. Erika is too powerful and nullified almost every hit. This is the anti Gyrados deck, sniping magicarp on the bench

[@Noid1220]

Im just gonna believe that Luigi really is playing TCG in jail

[@scrubsscrubs694]

I personally find Blaine to be the most fun deck to play

[@rizzoty2009]

Wouldn't the apex Primeape hit for 100 when damaged be better than the new primeape

[@DoctorChuck]

You want a 1 energy primape so you can start dumping energy on marshadow/your bench as soon as possible to set up the revenge kill. 1 energy for 50 damage also opens up tons of one shot potential. Magikarp, staryu, koffing, vulpix. Adding Giovanni opens up even more one shots.

[@weatherep0rt]

I love Marshadow! An absolute gem of a card and so fun to play!

[@cobrite1]

promo mankey + old primeape has insane synergy

[@dalynwelch6366]

Farfetch'd Marshadow with mew ex is actually stupid strong, been on a streak with it lol

[@drachenbarde]

[@dalynwelch6366]

@drachenbarde so it's 2 mew ex 2 Marshadow 2 Farfetch'd 2 PokeBall 2 Giovanni 2 Sabrina 2 Prof 2 potion 1 budding explorer And the rest you could either fill some aggressive basic mon or other items

[@AshValor]

Most fun decks for me are melmetal/butterfree and Greninja/frosmoth/tentacruel

[@ProfessionalCommentor]

Marshadow is single handedly carrying fighting decks

[@gkuokwey]

Hey man, thanks for your video. Just tried out this deck, won 3 out of 4 matches. Beaten Mewtwo/Mew, Articuno/Greninja & Scolipede decks with mainly Hitmonlee for the damage 😂😂😂 Lost to Pikachu deck cos couldn't build the bench fast enough though 🤔 The only downside for this Marshadow deck is lots of brainwork needed to calculate and anticipate opponents' possible options

[@DoctorChuck]

Been running this but I hate starting marshadow so I cut him to 1. Added mew ex and aerodactyl ex so I had a couple pokes with more than 80 hp. Also new mankey will sometimes one shot a staryu for you before you auto lose to starmie ex.

[@majinnbuu9363]

Yeah but hitmonlee is nice if theres a magikarp on the bench

Why?

[@theunbreakableronin1076]

Don't want to be that guy but the very first play of the video was already a misplay. Could have gotten a free hit in with mankey but instead funneled energy to Marshadow for no reason. Had he done that, Mew would've been within knockout range of Marshadow with Giovanni.

Decent comment grabbing questions. But you knoe its always better to make a mistake for comments

[@ItMeJayB]

Spragels! I was hoping you would go live today so I could talk about this revelation I had. Maybe you’ve already considered it and can tell me why it’s bad. But check it out right, so Mew Ex second ability, the good one, is three colorless. Meaning, you can throw it in ANY deck to clean up options for good basics and consistency without having to add more stage ones and stage twos. I haven’t thought of too many decks that really work from this considering all of the energy ramp cards require the energy be placed on cards of the specific energy type. However, consider the dragon cards! Dragonite and/or druddigon. These guys where it’s hard to find other powerful cards to reliably build

[@GoldStorm07]

Drud is usually used as a wall without attacking to rack up Rough Skin damage while you build up your primary attacker. Mew EX/Dragonite has some sauce tho, only issue is it's *VERY* energy-hungry between Draco Meteor and Genome Hacking so you may find it too slow.

[@Bunoin]

Average spragels fan

[@ItMeJayB]

@@GoldStorm07 After testing it today I do find it to be too slow but I think a single energy ramp card in the future for dragons or place onto psychic freely could really make this deck cool.
