@NJBizationАй бұрын
@BurtsPTCG i use a florges EX deck that contain a silver bangle, a pokemon tool from one of the black and white set, Volbeat with the move pester from xy primal crisis and a Ariados from xy ancient origin. The setup: make sure that the a fairy pokemon with a retreat cost of one is set at the active on the first turn with a fairy energy attach, volbeat on the bench with the silver bangle attach along with spinarak. On the next ture after your active pokemon was quicken punched and you cannot be able to use items and if the pokemon tool is not removed, evolve spinarak into ariados, retreat the fairy pokemon for the volbeat with the silver banger attached and attach the double colorless engery into it, use ariados' poisonous nest ability to poison both active pokemon that are not grass(volbeat is grass so it is immune) and then attack the poisoned seimitoad-EX for 180 due to weakness to grass. Rundown: Normally pester does 30 damage, it does 30 more if the opponent's active pokemon is affected by special condition, silver bangle does 30 more if the pokemon is pokemon EX. Because seimitoad EX has weakness to grass, the damage is double to 180.

@@thonk7611 i use a floges ex deck back in 2015, here are the list cards that pull seimitoad EX out of commission: silver bangle, volbeat with pester attack from xy primal crisis, spinarak and ariados with poisonous nest ability as well as double colorless energy. During the setup, you'll want the place a fairy pokemon in the active and place volbeat and spinarak onto the bench. Starting with the First turn, if you have the silver bangle in hand attach it to volbeat, and attach a fairy energy on to the active fairy. On the second turn, if you have ariados in hand, place it on to spinark to evolve it. Retreat the active fairy pokemon and sent out volbeat and attach a double colorless energy to it. Use ariados' poisonous nest ability to pokemon both active pokemon that are not grass type, volbeat is a grass type. With the silver bangle attack to volbeat the previous turn and seimitoad EX is now poison, get ready for the a powerful combo: volbeat pester attack does 30 damage, plus 30 more if the opponent's pokemon is affect by special condition, plus 30 more if the opponent's pokemon is a pokemon is a pokemon EX which total 90 damage. But wait, we were talking about the seimitoad EX that is affect by poison; because volbeat is grass that seimitoad EX has weakness to, that 90 damage became double which come to 180 damage, knocking out the troublesome pokemon EX card.
