I challenged a WORLD semifinalist to battle using the most overpowered Lightning decks imaginable

[@ForTheWinTCG]

This was very well produced, was a great watch!

[@TrickyGym]

Thanks man! 😁

[@MysticIsle]

In an alternate universe easy gym, don’t trust your pilot, big light fury and for the loss are playing yu-gi-oh in a huge tournament right now

[@pigchefer]

Can we get 100k views on this video for the 100k hours it took me to edit the Pikachu V-Union animation guys thanks 🐖

[@brettfettbeargaming]

Amazing job Chef!

[@nyxia6410]

The v union animation 😭 it came out really good though!!! Also your welcome for some of the music AJEJWJABDBSHJWJ

[@diceonrice]

Damn I'm just listening through most of the time. Timestamp?

[@BillehBawb]

loved this video, please do more fun creative tabletop stuff like this :)

[@TrickyGym]

I promise I will! 2025 will be full of this kind of stuff

[@azn3v4n]

1:02:17 That Pikachu cry 😂 What an exciting series! I can't wait to see more of these all-star best types decks of all time! (^o^)

[@LiamBourke-d6x]

We the Pokemon tcg community DEMAND that this becomes a full series… fairy included! So cool to see such interesting unique decks and absolutely top tier professional editing. Big props to Andrew and the plethora of people involved in this.

[@TrickyGym]

I want to make it a full series for sure. It’ll be a ton of fun!

[@ethanmaca5288]

I can’t believe Jesse got top 4 in worlds! I saw the title and clicked and was shocked when I saw one of my favorites. My gf just informed me he posted all about it on Twitter. Sorry for the late congratulations, but congrats Jesse!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Now THIS is content baby 😍⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️❤️

[@TrickyGym]

Hey thanks!!! I appreciate you ☺️☺️

[@Strategic_TCG]

Expanded is such an underrated format. It’s been neglected far too long imo. Glad to see you covering it. ❤

[@MrRubicon14]

This is sensationally good as an idea and in its execution. Very excited to see more like this

[@TrickyGym]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. My plan is to redirect the channel to feature more content like this in 2025!

[@awkwardized]

This has to be among the most well produced and entertaining tabletop TCG videos on youtube, I truly don't think I've seen better. Huge congrats to everyone involved in pulling it off, and wishing this and future videos like it all the success they deserve! Happy holidays!

[@The_Rampant_Lion]

Watching your videos really makes me want to get more and more into Pokemon TCG. Love this Andrew!

[@markymark9359]

I love this idea! To see you guys make these incredibly powerful, fun, and unique decks playing with all of these old cars, was so much fun to watch! Please do more like this!

[@mr.fluffypantz4150]

Peak trickygym content. I’ve always been a huge tabletop head, but I’m glad people are enjoying this kind of stuff

[@Ravenclawed07]

3:25 as a Steelers fan, I’m down for this.

[@Allenonymous]

I would love more of this insane shit. This rules.

[@TrickyGym]

I’m glad you’re digging it!! I absolutely want to do more in the future. It’s comments like these that inspire me to do so!

[@flambo6554]

The fact that Jessie named his championship deck “The ‘Don”, and it is now being printed as an official product, it makes me incredibly happy

[@bruhmphrey]

The best tabletop gameplay I’ve ever seen. Sent to a buddy who quit between the XY, Sun and Moon block and has only gotten back into IRL a month ago. Think this will excite him for sure :))

[@bruhmphrey]

Also 38:20 the Nimbasa gym music was the only time I clocked the Pokémon music after 30 minutes of watching bruh

[@ThatKoolKidOverThere]

This video cooked so hard. Excited for more of this

[@mushedpeas606]

The Nimbasa City music at 20:47 was HYPE! Loved that Gen 5 music is getting some recognition, for every bad thing people may say about it!

[@pigchefer]

thank you i tried to find music from every generation! there were some i was having a hard time adding but i put as many as i could :3

[@mushedpeas606]

@ once again man, another Pigchefer W!

[@magu360]

Just started this vid, amazing content already

[@Ostrichex]

World's Semifinalist ❌️ World Finalist ✅️

[@icarofrancopicerni8577]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Zeroist1000]

Editing is IMPECCABLE

[@andrewp6738]

This video was SHOCKINGLY good ⚡️

[@timgallagher8934]

Love to see a bit more expanded in any form!!

[@MyNinja59]

Love this, would love to see another of this type of match again

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

⚡️⚡️⚡️❤❤❤

[@TrickyGym]

Thanks bro!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

@@TrickyGym keep up the great work 🙏🏻💪🏻

[@brettfettbeargaming]

Now that I've seen this twice, we HAVE to get more types like this! Couldn't have started off with a bigger BANG! (Electrode go boom)

[@TrickyGym]

I’m already looking forward to doing another!!

[@debevoef]

never knew andrew was a ravens fan until this lmao go birds

[@nyxia6410]

I definitely didn’t see this early nooooo- >:3 This was super fun to watch! Expanded is incredibly broken even with a limited card pool, and it was really cool to see what you guys came up with!!! ^-^

[@pigchefer]

Guys Nyxia definitely did not help me choose the music for this video she definitely had nothing to do with the production of this edit noooooo >:3

[@strawbrryjam]

this was an AMAZING VIDEO!!! thank you so much for working on it :D hope to see more like it

[@TrickyGym]

Absolutely!! The plan is to do more challenge type videos like this in 2025. I’m moving away from digital content and focusing more on irl

[@Reshimine]

Absolutely love this!!! Keep it up!

[@Flewisjr]

Really enjoyed this style of video, hope more is coming!

[@Elraze13]

Dude, Lightning has to be the most insane type in the modern Pokemon TCG

[@Schmino]

Sick! I would love to see a video of the history of all the meta decks through the ages and their rogue counterparts. 😊

[@TrickyGym]

Ooooooo that sounds really cool!

[@C41N4]

This was AWESOME!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I will ask this, what happened @ 59:56 ? 🤔 Jesse announced Tandem Unit, got the Pokémon, then went back?

[@MonochromePixel]

editing in ian's tweet with a cute little sound effect like that is nasty 💀

[@duelistAKI]

Shall we say, this is a battle for the title of "The Lightning American"? 😅⚡

[@larson0014]

It's a pig christmas

[@pigchefer]

That's so right larson 🐷

[@greengriffin3508]

Omg this was soooo cool! I would love to see showdowns like this with different types like fire water grass dragon etc

[@TrickyGym]

I agree!! I wanna do one for every type of

[@Mountain_Peak_TCG]

Love seeing games like this! Unique decks with unique people 🎉

[@takenname8053]

The game play was truly ELECTRIFYING!!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@chanchimi]

Amazing from start to finish!! 🌩🌩

[@TrickyGym]

Hey thanks!!

[@savy957]

Please do cube gameplay!!!!! You can’t post the draft separately so people don’t have to watch it if they don’t want to and just show the decks before battles

[@savy957]

Or another 1v1 draft

[@TrickyGym]

I got another cube video coming out very soon!

[@reathe]

alolan raichu is so good in expanded, this isnt the exact list but it hella fun, i have the deck irl

[@heywessley]

expanded format stuff, and just cross format thought experiment stuff seems so cool. like how would mew vmax fair against modern regidrago? or adp vs pre rotation lugia? things like that. great vid here

[@heywessley]

u should take the top 2-3 decks of the last 4-5 rotations and pit them against each other in a bracket? video or series idea idk

[@flyingcheeseball_]

andrew shuffling his deck for iono in game 1 lol

[@TrickyGym]

I’m just finishing shuffling after a search I think

[@DJMoneycat]

I kinda wanna build that alolan raichu deck to play with my friends 😂

[@chappo91rulz]

Pika-Rom in the expanded is OP. So much more support

[@PeterCaptainObvious]

I missed having BW & XY in expanded, but unfortunately TCGL only allows SM onward :(

[@sal1755]

Is there anyway we could get a list for both decks please

[@TrickyGym]

If you watch the intro you see both lists while we talk about them. It’s right before the gameplay

[@jotnarymir1393]

Awesome video

[@edpaul3515]

I was really looking into dipping my toes in pokemon tcg live after starting from pocket. But after seeing these games play out, it seems so overwhelming for a new player to get into 😢 any tips?

[@krazmaster2581]

This is the expanded format which has a much larger card pool then standard, those game won’t be nearly this much so don’t be too intimidated

[@TrickyGym]

Best bet would be to just download tcg live and go thru the tutorial!

[@breno4493]

I have found your channel after looking for pocket deck videos and now here I am watching an 1 hour video about tcg live and I don't understand shit about what's going on But I can't say I'm not enjoying it lol

[@TrickyGym]

Ayo thanks for sticking around 😁

[@lainsoundtrack8309]

Amazing video GREAT games!

[@TrickyGym]

Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed itN

[@PhillyTJ]

Im 40yr old dad...still play PikaRom in Pokemon Live.
