The Arbok Weezing Deck Will Make Enemy Mewtwos CRY | Pokemon TCG Pocket

[@Shirebrok]

This is my main deck, and I feel like it is so underrated. I have so much to say about it. First, instead of Potions and Red Card, I have one Pidgeot. It doesn't always get there, but when it does, it's a free Sabrina every turn. It has decent HP and attack on top of that, if it ever needs to tag in. I think Koffing is one of those basics that likes going first, like most Pokémon that have a Stage 1 with one-energy attacks. Weezing on Turn 3 exerts a good amount of pressure, especially against Mewtwo. Arbok is great at locking in high value targets and will often be the one making the game-defining plays. Koga is basically extra lives for Weezing and Sabrina can force your opponent to make choices they don't want, possibly putting a vulnerable Pokémon in the active spot. And one important thing about the deck, IMO, is knowing when to let go of a Pokémon and give the opponent a point. You have to think a turn or two ahead of your opponent. In my experience, because of the popularity of the meta decks, a lot players don't quite understand how to manage tempo in a game, because they're just rushing to their win condition. This deck lets you set the tempo and force the opponent to play suboptimally. It is very interactive and requires lots of decision making to win. With good planning, it absolutely holds up against pretty much every deck.

[@johndinner4418]

I wouldn't call it underrated, it's the first deck people think of when going anti-meta because how common mewtwo was. I say this because not only did I end up making p much the exact same deck by accident on day 1 and thought it was so underrated, when I go into any discussion where mewtwo was brought, arbok/wheezing deck always got mentioned. It's THE known deck that doesn't scream it's known at first glance, but it totally is if you're knowledgeable enough about the game to say the words "meta" and "anti-meta".

[@shyguymystic3615]

Agreed, I’ve had so much fun with this deck!

[@MommaGart]

This is my main deck too. I swapped in the Pidgeot line and the games have been very fun so far! Thanks for the suggestion!!

[@Tasherith]

The fun about this game is that you can have multiple decks. I have metas and no metas deck, i rotate them, it's very fun in my opinion. Now i'm trying to build a grass deck and a fighting deck.

[@Anvie__]

This feels great, I tried grimmer muk but it wasn't working out. Pidgeotto feels amazing thanks

[@redfrog4547]

Loving this deck. While every deck is very simple due to the nature of this game, this one is VERY interactive thanks to the low damage and use of Koga. Not just "cheat out energy the fastest" or "Pikachu Ex". Even with 1 Arbok (since I don't have a second) and Pidgot, it's been a great deck. It feels like an actual Pokemon battle, and not just "I leveled just my starter and am sweeping everything."

[@devonzellpernell8895]

I won a few games against Laparas mains using that strat with pidgeot. Though with Koga it does require you to think ahead more.

[@redfrog4547]

@@devonzellpernell8895 Yeah, for sure. I decided I have to move away from Pidgeot (sadly, as I love his Star card). Mainly because of the nature of needing 3 specific 1-ofs cards to do one thing, and switched to Sparrow + Ferrow + Sabrina. It's not the best, but it's interesting, and little more consistent, plus having the unique ability to remove energy. Curves nicely. Doesn't usually make a huge difference, but can slow down a Mewtwo or make retreats harder if you win a coin flip, especially if you get lucky enough to lock down a Lapras with no Misty or multiple x speeds.

[@StonySheep]

All this is missing is Meowth and you got the OG Team Rocket build.

[@ahand091]

I tried this exact build for the meme. Sadly meowth is really not worth it but he lives on in the sleeves, mat, and coin of this deck.

[@Playguu]

Exactly! My one card difference is -1 Red Card +1 Meowth. Maybe it's less useful, but it feels nice seeing the little guy draw me cards.

[@markmecha3100]

I've played a lot of Classic Koga as well as this "mukless" version, and after 100 games with each of the two versions and analyzing all of my matchups, I've come to the conclusion that running 1 Grimer and 1 Muk gives you the damage output you need to fight Erika-based decks as well as many other decks where 60 damage just doesn't cut it. You lose a bit of consistency with your Poké Balls, but since you want to drag your games into the later turns anyway, I've found the Muk version to be slightly better.

[@Sligui28]

cool thoughts! What do you sub out for those two cards then?

[@surplus2188]

[@xxWicKedWayZxx]

@@markmecha3100 I like this a lot and made the change. Got rid of the red card (I feel like I don’t use it properly anyway) and put Grimer/Muk in there. Haven’t actually summoned it yet but I like knowing it’s there in my back pocket if I need it

[@hulang867]

Welcome to my fun. I created this deck couple weeks ago, called it "poison cage". However, I feel like it would benefit an extra basic. Admittedly if you get the wrong starting draw things can go south quite quickly

[@SirGArilla]

14:39 "Mustard on the beat" Lol I was not expecting that lol

[@Magiquito22]

I'm on the risk of being called cringy, but the deck that MOST counters the Meta is the one you have most fun with :) I refuse to believe anyone using a top meta broken deck is getting the same amounts of joy when winning than a person using their favorite, unique strategies

[@KingPeezy14]

Everyone was talking about Pikachu being the best deck in the game. One deck that I was running that surprisingly counters Pikachu is the 2 butterfree, 2 exeguttor deck. I actually don’t have 2 exeguttor EX’s, I have 1, so I used a regular exeguttor with an EX. This works pretty well because I always put down the non-EX when given the option, so if it dies, they only get 1 point. But with 2 Erika’s and 2 potions, unless the other player gets a good hand while using a fire deck, they can’t stop the setup of at least 1 butterfree or exeguttor. Caterpie feeds me grass types unless they threaten it, exeguttor can go in at any time since it only takes 1 energy to attack, and I don’t have to put any energy on butterfree to use the ability, so I can set up exeguttor to escape if its HP gets low. Then retreat, let butterfree tank a hit, retreat for 1 or 0 energy, and use Erika and potion with the butterfree ability to get exeguttor back in the fight and max HP in 1 turn. There are a lot of times I finish the game with 0 or 1 pokemon fainting, and then the rest are max HP. Pikachu can do 90 damage max. Potion basically drops the damage to 70, Erika drops it to 40, butterfree with either of those drops this damage to 50/20, 2 butterfrees drop the damage to 30/0. It’s just constantly shaving off damage for a pokemon that already has 160 or 130 HP, along with butterfree being able to tank with 120HP and then retreat. I finally unlocked Sabrina too, so that should help with fire types/mewtwo

[@Unlucky403]

This game needs trading so badly, I have 2 exeguttor but no eggsecute or whatever his name is. lol. 900 cards total..

[@YiViaNx]

I doubt that might work on newbie or if opponent has bad rng

[@KingPeezy14]

@@YiViaNx I went into the “TCG player” difficulty, played expert ai, and got the 45 win emblem all using this deck. There’s so many coin flips, it’s very rare that you’ll get that bad of RNG. And you have 4 heals in the deck, plus 2 pokemon that can heal. Maybe if they get a perfect starting hand they can win, but I’m still not losing to any Pikachu players with this deck

[@MechanicalApe113]

This is the deck I used to get my 45 win badge in the event. It basically annoys everything! I beat Marowak EX decks when they had bad draws or I had perfect draws. I only struggled with 18 Trainer Articuno. I LOVE this deck

[@Mekwek]

Debating whether I'd prefer having 2 Weezings/Koffings and 2 Sabrinas, or having 1 Weez/Koff and 1 of the Pidgeot line. I love having infinite "Sabrina" effects from the bird paired with the Lock&Poison combo, weakening their weaker cards/ the ones with not enough energy to get all the points I need while not letting them play their game-winning cards

[@CayCDC]

I've been enjoying a steel/pidgeot deck. Its getting me a little over 50% wins but is just fun to play since I never see steel used. Two Mawhile, two Pidgeot, and two Bisharp. Its fast enough to deal with Mewtwo, and thanks to pidgeot, i've been able to find an answer to most of my encounters.

[@ShaggyISaSurfer]

Love this deck! Super fun to play!

[@davitron86]

I love any deck with limited pokemon or limited evos and low energy. I had been playing dark with this, but I had a couple extra things that were honestly just slowing it down, so just including the snake and gassy monster makes this so fun and smooth.

[@Demon0fTh3Fall_]

I've been running and enjoying the aggro Blaine deck from another video of yours. Sometimes you can out tempo/aggro them down.

[@cheese4g]

This is one of the few decks I actually have all the cards for, so I tried it and I am loving it so far! My first opponent conceded like on the fourth turn (I think their hand sucked), my second started with a Ralts and admirably tried to switch it out with a Pidgy, but my girl Sabrina put a stop to that nonsense. The last match I did was against a Mewtwo EX deck and they were clearly not prepared for the levels of tomfoolery I brought to the table. The only opponent that soundly spanked me was someone running a Marowak EX deck. That's the one achilles heel I've seen with this deck. If your opponent is running fighting and your draws are anything less than God handing you the exact cards you need, you're in for a bad time.

[@federicodm9993]

Discoverd this deck a few weeks ago. Instant favourite. Very good against the meta decks of the moment, very fun to play.

[@dracosummoner]

So I just tried this deck (with a Meowth and an X Speed instead of a second Weezing and second Potion that I don't have), got matched up against a Mewtwo deck that drew nothing but a Ralts, and went first, starting off with an Ekans in the active. Drew a Koffing and played that. Passed to opposing player, who dinged for 10 and passed back. Drew the X Speed, retreated Ekans into Koffing, evolved to Weezing, used its poison, then did 30 + 20 (weakness) + 10 (poison) to poor Ralts, ending the game. In other words: Thanks for the deck idea. It's pretty fun.

[@truniq6422]

Having a blast using Wiggly and Weezing deck you showed us last time. Loving it more the Pika Ex right now. Just so much more thinking and the wins you get feel rewarded because of your game decisions.

[@extremekiller45]

Just a cool fun deck I made up. Pretty sure someone else thought of it too. But it just incorporates all normal type pokemon. Pidgeot Persian Aerodactyl Fearow Everything else is up to you for support. It's just a fun coin flip deck.

[@justnickinaround3973]

Dropping a Mewtwo meta team and then a pikachu meta team immediately after makes this deck so satisfying.

[@brendandeguzman12]

I'm a big fan of Weezing and Wiggly EX, just love stalling with poison, koga then putting to sleep

[@Snailkei]

This has been my main deck for a while now, it got me to gold in the emblem event and so I ended up naming it “a total deck move”, haha. I typically run it with Nidoking as well just in case I can setup the heavy damage if possible.

[@Snailkei]

I mainly like this deck because it’s a really good one for throwing people off or bait and switching

[@voldo123]

Double Muk/Weezing single Arbok is doing really well in tournaments.

[@keroro407]

That's my deck too.

[@yasinachekzai2567]

I feel like the game might benefit from resistances after all. They could help with hard countering some meta decks, like how Ground (Fighting) would be even stronger against Pikachu EX, and some future Dark cards could help against Mewtu EX. That way you would avoid actual nerfs, which no one really likes to see. I hope they reconsider that for future updates.

[@MegaCrazyhand]

I think it would also make decks a bit more varied. A Water that resists Water has a bit of different role than a Water that resists Fire as an easy example. It wouldn't be bad to use it to vary some more none meta decks, like having Steel types have multiple resistance options to make up for the low number of monsters available for it

[@capycapy8920]

The game is already incredibly luck-dependent, adding resistance will lead to instant concede if people are hard countered. Taking extra damage AND dealing less are not fun

[@clapalme2106]

Once upon a time, Long ago, in the lands between... There were resistances on cards... but it seems they got rid of them. Maybe we should ask them to bring them back?

[@yasinachekzai2567]

@@clapalme2106 Oh, that was what I was referring to. I thought they still have these, that were, if I recall correctly, a flat damage decrease. I didn't know that they are no longer on the live trading cards, as I only collected the earliest sets. Well, that of course makes it much less likely that we'll see them return for the version of the game that is simplified.

[@templarmedic8833]

saw a fighting deck with marowak (both 1 ex and non ex), primeape, and golbat ( yes, golbat, he doesnt require dark energy and he super hits into psychic). The fighting counters pika and the golbat counters psychic. I can link the vid to the original creator if you like.

[@JojoTheBozo1]

I think that any deck that can do damage early on and can KO fast is the counter meta due to most of the heavy hitting decks needing a lot of time and energy to set up appropriately so basically the deck you're running now is a perfect example of a well rounded anti meta deck

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

I've been playing for a few days now and took your advice on being able to re-do. I ended up with an articouno deck, except I use Lapra EX because I don't have starmie EX

[@PublishingwithJ128]

Honestly, after using this deck to get up to the 50 wins. The red card really did not help me at all so I think switching it for a x speed actually made me win more games. A nice tip for anyone not getting red card value.👍

Cut the red card. You honestly don't need it in this deck in particular because your entire strategy is to snipe targets. There's always gonna be one weak ex or a pokemon vulnerable to toxic and a corner.

[@tehrik0020]

I run 1x Grimer/Muk instead of Red Card and Giovanni. It's a good energy sink and sets up oneshots on some EX mons in conjuction with Koga and Weezing, notably EXChu, Mewtwo and forces EX birds to switch out otherwise they die to poison chip without healing. Worst case scenario it's a bigger body than Weezing and Koga still works on it so if it gets sour at least Muk can sponge a bit and get sent back to your hand. Muk is too inconsistent to be ever ran at 2x and it really depends on Weezing to be able to function but it's still the heaviest hitter in the whole Poison type squad, hits important damage thresholds and thus you have to respect it.

[@Lumix_Corrupt]

My meowth hit for 10, next turn, evolved into Persian, used Giovani “Good kitty” Persian did 50 damage, killed nidoran, hit heads, discarded their nidoking 😂 Made me realize how nicely you can kill a 60 hp Pokémon if you go second, and they don’t evolve or swap their 60 hp Pokémon. With a poke ball, professor research, meowth card draw. + natural card draw.. Real decent odds of pulling the pieces you need early, and if you can discard a card from their hand… that’s Some of the best value… Red card and aerodactyl both put cards back into their deck to be drawn again. But Persian OHKO them to the shadow realm. 😮

[@MiloThatch420]

I played it again, and had to adjust my plans.. but if they open with a big hp, wall Pokémon… intending to build their bench while snorlax tanks… your meowth can draw a ton off him, and make them discard But if they open up aggressive, you may just get 1 card draw off, evolve to Persian just to tank another hit and put the next energy on the next Pokémon rather than committing to trying to get multiple Persian hits. (First time playing with meowth and Persian and it felt pretty good 👍 90 hp 40 damage I ain’t nothin… can be slower than them if they are playing some agro Blane stuff, but if they ignore a meowth opening you can punish)

Aggro blaine does great going first thanks to ponyta/rapidash. And it's not going to ruin your run of you go first with weezing/arbok deck either. Char/venu/blast is good to go first with as well since you have to get stage 2 out asap.

[@littlenibba2388]

I like running dugtrio and machamp ex. Machamp curves for turn 2 and dugtrio is a decent stage 1 for 40 damage and even getting 1 heads can make all the difference to get the Machamp online when forced to go first.

[@littlenibba2388]

But basically anything that has a turn 1 evolution that hits immediately is great going first. While gimmicky, Golbat and primeape is pretty good but golbat is really just a worse dugtrio besides if you specifically want a better match up into mewtwo and golbat going first is fantastic for that.
