Pokemon Pocket Top 10 Pokemon ex

[@ITalk69]

I was waiting for you to start making TCG Pocket videos :D

[@williamtrowbridge4868]

@9:53 I have been laughing for 3 minutes straight after hearing that pronunciation of "Zebstrika"

[@ItsJustKaya]

German name i believe. Skipped its debut same as gen2.

[@TheHazard36]

I literally thought earlier today: "Dexlogs should make a TCG Pocket video" 😂

[@swaggashow]

I swear to SpongeBob - I did too

[@bluedevils481991]

I’ve been listening to duellogs for a while as a duel links player and thought this about dexlogs the day i downloaded the game. Glad they finally made one

[@AshBob5000]

I had a lot of fun making a list of the 16 ex cards and checking them off as you mentioned them. I’d love a video where you talk about the 6 that weren’t good enough to make the top 10. Entertaining video!

[@FoxFoxM3]

Good branch out. Even if this one doesn’t hit right away there’s an audience if you had fun doing it

[@ViniciusSilva-nb5jq]

I discovered your channel by your WoW content, you showed me Pokemon TCG world and you're the main reason i play it semi competitive today, thank you so much and keep up with the great content!

[@reggaerebel876]

Oh yeah we been waiting for this one

[@tokkyu6497]

I found this channel because I watched a lot of Pocket and loved learning about the TCG game and I'm super excited you started to do pocket now

[@yoshineitor]

Exeggutor is just a better Kanghaskan, it requires less coinflips, has guaranteed damage on failed conflips and is unkillable on the early game, even a quick Blaine won't kill it and Erika can negate Blaine, it is definetely slept on.

[@N12015]

I guess it fears fire too much, but Exeggutor is mostly a support and not a primary wincon, and it is getting 2HKOd by meta relevant threats like Starmie, Pikachu or Charizard.

[@sunburner_ray]

the 3 retreat cost is kind of brutal i think which keeps it from being super mega broken

[@777theultra9]

I would say it's the current format's scrub killer.

[@ItsJustKaya]

On hindsight. Its just exegg So kangashkan is better solely to buy time. Also i dont think coinflip is a issue. There is a trick the majority takes it time to do the trick and the minority just flips

[@34Nor]

I think you could do an entire 20 minute episode on how wild the coin flip mechanic is. I have lost so many times due to a good Misty, but I have never gotten a heads using the same card 😅

[@FoxFoxM3]

@@34Nor when he was talking about misty im like yea….

[@StiggyAzalea]

I'm sitting at a solid 6 heads / 114 tails ratio rn

[@RaceBandit]

I've scooped at least once against the EX-Lapras event deck because it got 3 energy off of Play First Misty.

[@cenachi]

This'll sound like some wild fanfiction but i opened my first pikachu ex as you were talking about it. I'll start watching your vids as im opening boosters from now on.

[@lildemon666.2]

The boosters that are turned around seem to have higher odds. Could be confirmation bias but 8/10 the last turned around packs I pulled had full arts

[@SuperLaxTCG]

I was waiting for a tcg pocket vid 🎉

[@Schmiduku]

4:06 yeah it feels really bad when you land two tails, but the math is overall pretty good on marowak. It’s the same math as dual ball. That is to say, there’s a 75% chance of a positive outcome. 2 energy for 80 damage with 1 heads is pretty decent, even if pikachu ex wasn’t everywhere. You’re not knocking pikachu out without flipping two heads anyway. The main problem is that fighting doesn’t have a whole lot of tools atm :/

[@pjanderson4876]

I have been playing so much pocket recently and I’m super excited to see my favorite TCG creator covering it!

[@snowvix8902]

It seems like the new pack answered the problem you mentioned with Exeggutor EX in the form of Serperior's ability doubling the value of grass energy and Leaf giving -2 retreat

[@thomasy1050]

Considering celebi EX just came out, idk where I’d put it on this list, but I got super lucky with 2 copies of it and built a deck around it… it can be stupid powerful once you’ve got 5-6 energy on it. Of course, I’ve still flipped all tails.

[@lildemon666.2]

Add on the snivy line and you got the top meta deck (with proper support cards of course)

[@VixstraLarge]

I have no idea about anything TCG, i just like watching these videos.

[@maglev0789]

And then just three days later, a new pack releases and this is outdated now

[@Aganie.]

Bro there's gonna be so much content for u in the upcoming months, if this takes off 😊

[@shohaiku]

I was just hoping you would upload a tcg pocket video

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Marowak sounds like this game's "Focus Miss", as it's basically an unreliable threat necessary to keep certain things in check. And also has Fighting type in this.

[@TheDjdeath45]

My luck with coinflips in this game is ass, therefore I hate moltres EX and especially misty.

[@2mccue4u27]

I think Blastoise should be on this list. Bulk power and boosts from Misty make it worthwhile. You can stall with Articuno EX or Starmie EX while you set up a monstrously good attacker. Worst case you can always retreat back to one of those two as well.

[@TrueLooneyman]

One memory I have with Zapdos EX was when I was against a Mewtwo EX deck. My only choice was to build up to Zapdos's Thundering Hurricane while I looked for Pikachu EX. I somehow got FOUR heads, which completely turned the game around

[@mrpenderz]

Definitely would like another video about the best non-EX Pokémon cards in the current meta, maybe also best supporter cards.

[@Sinzari]

Exeggutor ex is probably the best EX in the game, only held back by grass being weak right now

[@notapllicable7178]

subbed to this channel for a long time, I can finally say I actively follow the content of the video.

[@matteomigliore1477]

Okay

[@shionvii]

9:52 What did you just call it-

[@Snasedshiz]

zebrastrike💀😭

[@skotiaH2O]

I'd love to see a top 10 Imakuni's cards, that would be pretty fun. Maybe for April's Fools?

[@FenderTelecast]

No love for my boy Machamp, he's unstoppable once going

[@sunburner_ray]

hard to get him going though

[@Traxz180]

@@sunburner_raytrue

[@UnuUO]

Probably because unlike Marowak (with some luck), Machamp loses to the three best decks in the format. It’s too slow to threaten Pikachu/Starmie as long as they open decent hands, and gets dumpstered by Mewtwo.

[@Air-ts7cu]

I've never flipped 4 heads on Zapdos Ex. I have, however, flipped 4 tails multiple times. Unreliable is quite the understatement lol

[@Tirgo69]

When I first picked the game up, the first article I found online said to run a deck with 2 Articuno EX and 18 Trainers and hope you draw Misty.

[@RaceBandit]

That sounds like a repeat of the Mulligan Mewtwo deck.

[@777theultra9]

The logic is that the game doesn't have a mulligan rule: Your opening hand will ALWAYS at least one basic pokemon. In this case you will always start with Articuno.

[@swegdoge]

Run articuno ex and omastar, same strategy but with a backup plan...

[@konsta3220]

Hell yeah! I was waiting for these videos, even if I knew from first hand experience just how obnoxious some of these are...

[@bitthalranjit]

Hiru started this series yay 🎉

[@sunburner_ray]

if starmie isn’t number 1 i’m crashing out

[@sunburner_ray]

water type decks in general are extremely broken bc it’s the only type with energy acceleration (other than brock but onyx and golem are horrible)

[@sunburner_ray]

list is honestly good if you just bump starmie up to 1 or 2

[@UnuUO]

Starmie is statistically worse than Pika and Mewtwo. Electric decks don’t need acceleration outside of Surge -> Raichu for OHKOs in the mirror and Mewtwo is more consistent because it’s a basic. I don’t think Starmie individually is as strong as either of them but Misty existing makes Starmie and Articuno significantly better than they would be otherwise

[@sunburner_ray]

@@UnuUO i factor in the existence of misty personally but the 0 retreat cost is soooo good

[@kixxknuckles1st732]

Thank you, more pocket content please.

[@TheGachaGourmand]

More vids please from this game. xD

[@TheBlindWeasel]

Pikachu Ex is the strongest ONLY when used against ME, when I finally got one and used it, it just got trampled and Zapdos EX brought the game back

[@vincentsissom4180]

If you are doing more for Pocket, I would like to see a list for the best Pokemon to use in 2 Energy Decks.

[@noel_raines]

Anything with colorless only is good such as heliolisk and the new mew ex, I use Dragonite with wigglytuff and hypno. Hypno is good because it can sleep and be an okay tank with no energy

[@SemNome-rg7xg]

Should really named the video "TOP 10 Pokemon TCG Pocket Genetic Apex Cards"

[@NeoKoden]

Sweet! PTCGP!

[@N12015]

I know the current meta of pocket. It's clear the 2 best EX are Pikachu and Moltres, followed by Charizard, Mewtwo, Zapdos, Arcanine, Starmie and... Idk the other 3. You went Marowak, Exeggutor, Wigglytuff and Articuno, while dismissing Arcanine, probably due to the abundance of starmie. Ps: Someone forgot Venusaur EX. 190 > 90 x 2 after all and it even heals itself. Not relevant though due to awful fire and electric matchup.

[@treybriscoe2721]

Can't agree more. A lot of people don't seem to realize how strong Moltres EX decks are. Running it with both Arcanine ex and Charizard ex almost garuntees a win in the current meta Machamp ex can be surprisingly effective as well

[@Traxz180]

This list is fax but for the next TCG pocket the top 10 any strongest types in the game

[@enzoforgets9456]

Still like the funny deck of 2 articunos and 18 trainers

[@axdambient]

amazing how Celebi EX has now destroyed everyone

[@abracabloon3338]

Curious to see if this list would change with the new Mythical Island set

[@RaceBandit]

I wouldn't be surprised if the set completely flipped the metagame.

[@fusionflare3162]

Ahh yes... zebra strike my favorite pokemon

[@theparkinglot_turtle9353]

The disrespect to exeggutor ex at 10 is insane

[@tootsie_]

DCE would go crazy in this game

[@kassygo1375]

No way he said Zebra strike

[@puchugama56]

Yay he's back 😭😭

[@andrewhallis1872]

More please 😁

[@benjaminpryer8215]

Venasaur Ex has 190hp. Starmie Ex does not 2 shot every ex currently in the game.

[@Twizted.]

Needs Greninja support for it to 2 shot it

[@Traxz180]

Greninja has an ability for a reason

[@Steph_N]

Kid named Giovanni:

[@startedlizard8678]

Na i play articuno/greninja and i beat out pikachu decks more often then not, even if i fail all my misty rolls, plus greninja gives more bench damage so you can kill off weaker mons they are retreating to save or chip pokemon they are trying to set up.

[@abr3127]

This list is certainly one of your more…. Interesting ones man

[@GotHisEyes]

I’m sad cause I didn’t see my boi blast with good misty luck u can absoultly destroy paired with starmue and 1 copy of acrticuno blast can do in I’m currently on a 22 game win streak with the deck so idk blast also always live a mewtwo unless they Giovani and 1 hits the zard also can’t be 1 hit by pikachu very underrated yes it is slow but its very good against the meta rn

[@noel_raines]

I understand but Articuno is more consistent and can chip with 2 energy and Gyarados is easier to evo and misty while with blast it take 2 turns minimum to set up.

[@RashFaustinho]

I think it's a bit too early to do something like this, the card pool is so small right now lol

[@Eddie_Enfer]

Top 10 non-ex cards in pocket next?

[@BlooperTanooki]

Starmie is my favorite and I CANT STILL FREAKING GET IT

[@docxy7331]

Ive been using pikachu and raichu with magneton support. Tbolt spam is intimidating as fuck.

[@DragonCardSK]

Not seeing Blastoise EX makes me sad

[@dannylopez5976]

Fuck yeah Wigglytuff

[@thechurchstore2386]

Always glad to see a new vid, but couldn’t this have waited until the next main box? Lol

[@SilentMX]

Good list though personally I think Charizard should be a bit higher, it has issues due to being a Stage 2 and over reliance on Moltres, but I still think having the ability to one shot anything in the format is a pretty big deal. It’ll probably fall off once cards begin to go over the 200 HP range, and Mew EX is gonna hurt it a lot too, but as of right now at least it’s a ton of fun and pretty effective.

[@paulct91]

Sad, I thought nostalgia Pokémom EX... 😅 not newer ex cards. Oops, I need to keep up to date with current meta these days!

[@XmortoxX1990]

Yeah. That's mainly how I expected this list to go. Please talk about the fairy type.

[@benjaminguajardogallardo2036]

Plz make more pocket videos

[@UltimatePhantasm]

Is there really only kanonian ex pokemon at this time?

[@Castersvarog]

Right now yes, but this is also the first card pack available and more will be coming soon. Gen 2 is believed to be starting in late January I believe, so expect to see a lot of Gen 2 EXs there

[@RobRob2-n1v]

Misty has a 90% chance to flip tails so idk why he thinks water decks are soo good. Try misty and see how shitty she is when you use her

[@joemarestuesta8602]

More! More! More!

[@BlackF0x_]

Kinda funny to pick top 10 when there are only 15 EX in game in total (16 counting promo lapras EX which is unavailable for many late players) and right before introduction of an additional pack with several new EX Pokémon))

[@masnajunaid4520]

Y'all sleeping on venasaur ex

[@mudwire1]

I’m glad that people seem to universally agree that Gengar ex is ass

[@BadCandyStudios]

Gengar EX’s attack is too high energy cost for too low damage, ESPECIALLY on a stage 2, and its ability not only requires it to be in the active slot, but is oftentimes not useful in the lategame when you’ll actually have Gengar set up because most of the current most used Supporter cards it disables are most effective in the early game, (Oak, Giovanni, Misty), with only Sabrina being both splashable and lategame valuable.

[@FffDddd-lp1vc]

Mewtwo should be 1

[@Traxz180]

Glaze

[@BepisQueen]

Zeebastrike is so cool guys

[@paz8723]

Arent there only like 10 cards to begin with

[@Humandefect]

Pokemon Pocket as of now to me is just pure luck. Whether you can draw your pot of greed early or at all just determines who has the upper hand. Too much coin flip to make a cohesive strategy. Also some of the cards clearly don't work with the randomness of multiple energy decks. Good luck playing 1 stage 2 pokemon let alone more since you would be stuck with no basic pokemon to evolve from or not finding stage 1 AND stage 2 fast enough. Wanted something fun to play but if going second is 10 times better than going first I don't think its a good card game

[@kassygo1375]

Doesn’t 2HKO venausaur

[@mdudegamer]

Huh. They have no resistances.

[@RaceBandit]

I noticed that. Instead, Cloyster and Melmetal have passives where they just take less from everything.

[@adamgonvaz5562]

Ninetails is better

[@Tirgo69]

I used a Ninetales and Rapidash deck to grind the recent Venusaur event

[@SoldSanke]

The coin flips in this game likely are not 50% for non-paid players. This makes Moltres' energy acceleration very unreliable for fire decks. Arcanine ex functions better without Moltres and instead I prefer Rapidash as a first in line attacker while setting up Arcanine.

[@thunderstruck560]

The game is terribly designed and I wish it wasn't.

[@daifminaj9670]

how are you still this bad at pronouncing names xD
