One key interaction you missed with Hitmonlee is that if the opponent benches a Magikarp, you can instantly KO it. It forces the opponent to play it in the active spot if they dont know you don't have it or not.

[@adrianpaulochoa9825]

An early Hitmolee absolutely destroys Gyarados' setup

[@braveravier2565]

Played almost the same deck for the Emblem event. Got the 50 wins super quick. I think I went like 50L - 8-9L. My list only had two changes: -1 Marshadow -1 Leaf +1 Potion +1 Blue You don't really need more than 1 Leaf. Marshadow is in my eyes more a liability than helpful. You need to keep your Bench tight to play around sabrina. Blue was very useful in around 80% of my games. Celebi is not playing Giovanni, so giving Druddigon better odds of surviving a turn is incredibly important. In order to face mew with your Golem you also need a combination of either 2 Potions or 1 Potion+Blue to win the 1v1.

[@Glossypearls]

That deck really makes me hopeful for more creative meta decks! It really goes to show it’s not just about power but about strategy and thinking ahead (+obviously reading the cards and taking advantage of their pros and cons) Gg to the winner of the tournament! I’ve said this before but I’m really happy about how much you promote creative and unique decks! Your influence is causing such a positive domino effect in the community and it’s showing! 😁

[@muhammadasyrafiamirhassan7309]

The winner never met Celebi though in the tournament, which is quite shocking

[@sleepytofu1]

because almost everyone is expecting to get countered by blaine deck, thats why Gyarados was the favorite pick in the tournament. But us gyarados users in the tourna get rekt by sudden pikachu decks. Golem deck has a decent match up with the decks in the tourna.

[@ironically2009]

Celebi is Just to easy to counter. Fast Decks outpace stage2 on the Bench. Many Decks do one Hit celebi. Kokowei, alakazam, jynx counter it easily. Celebi is Just a marowak ex that Starts worst and gets stronger from the Moment your Bench is ready or you got your 4. Energy

[@D00M3R-SK8]

I keep forgetting to make a new Golem deck. I have been terrorizing online with Drudd/Gyarados though. I knew it was gonna be strong, but was quite surprised to see how strong it is. I thought simply because of all the Celebi, and the Fire decks wishing to counter them, I would in turn counter the Fire decks. It seems to be way stronger though. Drudd is the new, best tank, for sure. How are you liking decks like Mew ex/Pigeot ex, and Mew ex/Gengar ex? I think the former is stronger, but they're both great. The Budding/mew ex combo is a great staller with massive damage output potential. Then having something like Pigeot ex to pivot into, when Mew ex isn't going to 1 shot, is just perfect. The Gengar version being able to block trainer cards is just beautiful. I've only had a few games since the new event started, but I have won every game so far. Hopefully will get some games in tonight, and get my 45 wins badge.

[@stephenzajonc4766]

The most consistent decks I’ve played are the Golem and Gyro/Ninja decks.

[@ItsSakumai]

Sheeesh we love to see no ex decks winning tournaments ❤

[@subdemon.]

When I saw the new Golem, I knew they cooked. It has everything to be great: high hp, - 30 damage from attacks, and Brock to speed up energy.

[@bobalopadus8901]

Been using variations of Golem decks pretty much since the expansion came out but never thought about using Druddigon with it when Onyx existed. Rough skin is such an upgrade - you start hitting break points to kill with Golem on so many pokemon you wouldn't one shot otherwise

[@ItsSakumai]

APOLLOS LITTLE PAW STICKING OUT IS ADORABLE 😭❤️

[@crush5351]

The difference between the 2 golems in the game is crazy. Old Golem does 50 damage to ITSELF every attack. while new golem TAKES 30 less damage when it gets attacked. New golem better imo.

[@rin9005]

Actually amazing how rough skin+golem+gio is 150 exactly enough to counter mewtwo, golem+gio is 130 enough to counter mew and celebi, and golem is also a guaranteed win against Pikachu unless you get really unlucky. With that said Charizard has become really good in my experience recently especially with chatot you also don't have to worry against alakazam by using blue or just managing your energy properly.

[@kennythevillain1225]

TY for posting this, since this morning i've faced 3 of these with my Poison and got 3 wins

It's amazing how much better this Golem it compared to the previous one.

[@pokeystick88]

Ngl all the Mythical Island cards are slowly discovered its true setup/decks. Thanks to Drugdigon, now we have various decks that have become viable.

[@reneeseance5367]

Hitmonlee has proven to be SUPER strong in this meta. When everyone is playing druddigon, hitmonlee turns it into a liability. One-shotting benched magikarps is pretty mean too. Gyarados decks typically just auto-concede when they have the “god draw” all because of hitmonlee. I tooo this deck and removed Marshadow for a second copy of hitmonlee for that reason

[@AdamMattar-f6b]

Wanted to build this deck and see how it goes but then I just now found out that I only have 1 Brock card on my collection! Any alternatives?

[@Honoryde]

Celebi is a decent match-up into this but needs 3-4 heads to take out Golem, 4 heads especially after a Guard Press. it kinda depends on who gets set up first and how lucky the Celebi is with their coin flips. The match-up isn’t impossible for Golem, but it doesn’t come easy, especially if you don't have a good start and Celebi gets lucky against your Druddigon tank.

[@rin9005]

It's essentially a race, will golem come online first or will celebi get enough heads first.

[@wall6587]

If you play druddigon, after celebi kills it, its in range for marshadow + giovanni

[@Honoryde]

@rin9005 pretty much what I'm saying. Grass decks, in general, have a good match up into this, though not that people are going to run the expert AI deck, I've found the Venusaur EX and Serperior EX expert mode to be really hard to beat with this deck as Venusaur EX 2 shots Golem through Guard Press while living 1 or 2 with Erika + Giant Bloom. The only problem with the expert version of Venusaur is running 2 2 stage lines, which doesn't leave a lot of room for additional pokemon or trainer cards and can be super bricky. Fortunately, Venusaur doesn't have a great footing in the meta right now, especially with Blaine being a hard counter.

[@Honoryde]

@wall6587 depends on the deck, and if the Celebi player is all in on 1 Celebi or splits between multiple Celebi or in some versions, Exeggutor or Mew EX, it really comes down to a race, how the Celebi pilots the deck, and what version Celebi is Running. Also, this is assuming you get the 1 of Marshadow on the bench before Celebi KOs Druddigon. Plus it might be better to just run Exeggutor EX or new Exeggutor handle early tanking for them and allows Celebi to safely build up their Celebi while Exeggutor EX tanks and possibly KOs Druddigon maybe even surviving Druddigon and Marshadow combo it takes 2-3 turns to Kill drudigon with Exeggutor EX and the Celebi player can play Their Erika on the Exeggutor EX if they were unlucky with the Exeggutor Flips against Druddigon while still being able to live Marshadow Counter. By the time Exeggutor EX is taken out, Celebi would be good to go to clean up. It's not impossible to beat but a very difficult match-up if they're running the Exeggutor version.

[@cridus_]

I have a deck with golem and marshadow too, but I also use onix and I don't use hitmonlee. I also have both types of golems because sometimes the one that deals 150 damage is better, for example against mewtwo. but I guess that using hitmonlee might make it worth it to use 2 of the new golems, if you can manage to deal some damage to the big guys on the bench first. and druddigon helps round up some more too. yeah I might switch to this >_> but I did have a lot of success with that deck.

[@Rhinoram-ps4iv]

I want to try this deck so badly, but Mythical Island is making it super hard to pull the Golem evo line. Out of hourglasses too, so I just have to wait. Yapping aside, great video! Makes me want to play this deck even more!

[@andrewbybee]

@godzly how did you have the rock energy every time it never shuffled to fire or water because of your druggaon , your luck is crazy but it seems like every game you got rock energy and didnt have to worry about fire or water

[@jonz8510]

When you make your deck you can choose which energy’s you want to generate, normally you just have fighting since it’s a golem deck but because you add druddigon it also automatically adds Fire and Water aswell, you just need to disable that in the deck editor right besides where you choose the playmat and coin

[@Ethangg_]

You think this is better than the aero one? It looks fun but i feel like having 6 basics is alot.

[@nhuw125432]

[@ch3ckm8]

Golem is op. And it doesnt take too long to setup with brock... -30damage is massively strong. This became stupidly broken compared to the old golem which self inflicts damage

[@merlino25_]

the first golem is even better, no one cares the 50 dmg tohimself if he can oneshot mostly ex with 150 dmg

[@ch3ckm8]

@merlino25_ highly disagree. First golem goes down to 100hp after first attack. How many pokemon can do 100 damage? A lot. Now how many pokemon can deal 190 damage (160hp + 30 reduction)?

Less 30 damage with 160 hp?! I've been using Melmetal Deck and only losing only if I got a bad hand. I didn't know Golem have that kind of ability on his attack which is also freaking same damage with Melmetal but Melmetal can only take 20 less damage and only have 130 HP! No wonder this got first placed. Definitely gonna use this instead of my Melmetal Deck.

[@ThomazSDA]

I want to run a proper Melmetal deck so badly, but I don't have enough Melmetals. ;_; I do wonder if it works better if you include Drudigon. I can see why Golem is probably better though but for that I too lack cards (I also lack Drudigon lol). The life of a F2Per with bad pull luck...

[@Nut10_]

I haven't tried it yet with Drudigon, I might try it tho. Replacing Weezing and Koga for Drudigon and Leaf, then the remaining 2 cards probably Blue for 10 less more damage but that makes me have 12 support cards hmmm.

[@Nut10_]

I'm free to play as well. I only pull when there's a free pull and then I go for 10 packs once I save enough. Also there's a free premium for 14 days, that helped me build some decks

[@vulcanthedivine2270]

Ive beat this same deck with PikachuEX multiple times. The only deck ive lost to recently is Blaine believe it or not. 😂

[@Ralenissocold]

Druddigon's ability to stall is without question great...but I don't think people are talking about Marshadow enough The psychological shift that it causes in your opponent's strategy is invaluable. Its ability to revenge kill ridiculous and a little underlooked imo. The fact that this deck does not use an EX and really forces your opponent to kill 3 pokemon as opposed to 2 gives you so much strategic flexibility and leeway.
