I feel like I'm the only one playing Pidgeot EX in the whole lobby. And it's great! People always absentmindedly pack their bench. And they never know what to do when you actually attack them with Druddigon 😂

[@theavatarkal]

Same! Its been my favorite new deck. Got all 45 of my wins with it for the emblem event in no time.

[@Yerovs07]

What is your deck list? I tried using a pidgeot ex deck and it was pretty inconsistent, lost most of my matches

[@sin6713]

​@theavatarkal thats so sad to hear and can't imagine how boring that would be, when we have the option to have 15 decks to play 😅.

[@CorstaDMack]

I've just added pidgeot as more as a support Tank, helps a lot if im running a celebi deck, haven't built anything around him yet though

[@udaranayana8305]

i cant fathom that galvantula is not used any of these decks. electric is very good against articuno, moltres and zapdos + water and some normal types. joltik and galvantula are both glass cannons but can deal very well with early game druddigons and ex cards on active spot. sprinkle a mew ex on your deck and you comfortably destroy most meta decks with the early game pressure.

[@shirosai615]

problem is if you don't get them early game then you have that chance of either pulling what you need or pulling a joltik

[@broomybroomybroomy]

For me, the most underrated card is tentacruel 2 energy for a guaranteed 60 damage off the bat. The poison seems to make opponents a little retreat-happy too. Relatively beefy 110 HP for a stage 1 too

[@jameshoppe1417]

Zebstrika is just better. It snipes Magikarp on the bench and gets around Druddigon

[@zaiyon4043]

i think gyarados deck require 1 blue card to counter hitmonlee and zebstrika sniping magikarp which is like only weakness of that deck,once you evolve it to gary ,its smooth sailing against any deck

@@udaranayana8305 sabrina can easily be countered if you place any other pokemon which is more likely the case considering how many basic Pokémon that deck has,you get lucky doesn't means it works

[@darkreaper7256]

I personally like using a Mew Alakazam deck. As long as I don’t get terrible draws, it pretty consistently wrecks high energy decks or decks that rely on heavy damage (which is a lot of the meta). It’s main weakness is poison decks since they are usually low energy and deal most damage through poison based attacks rather than raw power

[@JoshuaSimard]

Can you list the deck? Sounds like a fun deck I would like to try

[@darkreaper7256]

sure here’s the cards: 2 Abra, 2 Kadabra, 2 Alakazam, 2 Druddigon, 2 Mew Ex, 2 X Speed, 2 pokeball, 2 professors research, 2 Sabrina, 1 budding expeditioner, and 1 mythical slab. (You can swap out some of the trainers and items to fit your preferences but these work for me)

[@typemasters2871]

Golem + Druddigon is a good deck but I replaced both Druddigon with a second Hitmonlee and a second potion for solo missions with the task “win with the deck only containing Fighting energy Pokemon”

[@lecatssb]

I dont get the leaf on the Pikachu/zeb deck if everything is 1 retreat

[@jameshoppe1417]

It's another free retreat, so you don't lose tempo

[@er6890]

Somebody try this deck and tell me what you think. I get the craziest wins and pretty consistent if you’re good a flipping coins. Executor, Hypno, Mew. Hypno puts them to sleep while the Egg deals the damage. Ericka to keep Egg alive and Mew in the back building up energy. I’ve been able to wipe every deck on this list.

[@JRR31]

Hit us with the full deck list chef

[@furiousdestroyah9999]

The thing about the Arcanine Mew deck is that it gets railed by stuff like Gyarados (who everybody plays). Arcanine can handle anything up to 120 hp and for the pokemon with higher hp there's Mew EX, but if you can't 1 shot the enemy pokemon then you most likely just lose because they probably can 1 shot yours

[@ThePalaceofCards]

What was the blue 3x or 1.3x on your videos at 4:42?

[@Xatumi]

[@jacobwansleeben]

For the Mewtwo EX deck, do you think it's best to use Jinx, Mew EX, or 1 of each?

[@migssdz7287]

I dont know if you have access to this data, but non-mirror winrate is a realy usefull stat as well, because when a mirror match happens, it adds one win and one lose to that deck no matter what, bringing the winrate closer to 50%, and this affects a lot the most common decks. In fact, Gyarados having a 56% win rate with over 1000 players is insane, most loses probably come from other gyarados decks, and Mewtwo would probably be lower if it wasnt the most played deck

[@문이-w2g]

I think like a month back, the mewtwo deck that did well in tournaments didn't include jinx? Interesting that she's added to deal with the high energy dealers.

[@redcobra1246]

Imo the best of these are the wheezing, the pikachu+zapdos, and the arcanine, but with Charizard. The marshadow isn't too bad but without golem. For the event my Charizard+arcanine made the 45 wins a breeze.

[@TheShapingSickness]

10:13 played a variation of this deck a few times, it is sooo prone to bricking. Even when you get pokemons it can brick (moltres + mew ex is a sad opener). I went back to my 2 arcs + 1 volcarona. Maybe not as strong but I'm not losing 1/4 games due to bricking.

[@Climactic99]

Sounds like a skill issue fr

[@Zerochillscotty]

I've been crushing with my super weird deck: 1 Mew ex, 2 Exeggutor ex, & 2 Dragonite. Water and lightning energy only. Sprinkle in 1 Leaf, 2 pkm researchers, 2 poke balls, 2 potions, a hand scope, and 2 red cards. I've been thriving 😂

[@CoverWunTB]

You using exeggutor to tank?

[@wytetiger623]

Im guessing hes using new exeggcute ​@CoverWunTB

[@Zerochillscotty]

​@@CoverWunTBI'm using mystical island exeggute for growth spurt, so you don't have to add leaf energy. Then genetic apex exeggutor ex for HP and an early heavy hit. That helps me build up my Dragonite. So far it's been wildly successful.

[@RandomSwitchGamer]

Very surprised to not see Blaine on here, with the new Rapidash, I consistently and easily made the 45 Ws in the event, even cleaning house on Misty ramps, Pikachu decks and Mewtwos...now I understand that the events arent tournaments, but I feel a 2/2 line of Ninetales and the new Ponyta + Rapidash with 1 copy of Kangaskhan and that deck was doing insanely well, people should sleep on it Im actually not surprised about the Arcanine ex doing well, it won a bug tournament in the early stages of Global launch with Charizard and I think people saw that strong potential there...adding in that Mew ex is a solid idea and Ive been seeing more of that, just teching in Mew ex... Im happy to see Weezing in the top, I have played the new Scolioede list and its pretty good, but (and to additionally comment on your Dedenne love) my favorite deck right now is 2x Dedenne 2/2 Drowzee/Hypno 2/2 Koffing (either)/Weezing This status control really slows the game down and has many wins over all of these decks on this list...yea it isnt the most consistent thing, and sure you lose, and it definitely wouldn't make it on this list...but watching people get frustrated at 26+ turn stall/loses and not seeing that thanks post battle makes me laugh hard! 🤣🤣🤣

[@lydiasteinebendiksen4269]

Netdecking is clearly big in this game, I haven't seen a deck other than my own that isn't on this list after playing for like a month, besides the ones me and a friend who plays make.

[@Ash1Størm]

With Mew Ex's second move, do you have to have the energy color of the move you want to use off your opponent for the full effect of said move set?

[@Xatumi]

no its colorless so any energy.

[@Ash1Størm]

@Xatumi thank you I just wanted to make sure as I've been hesitating to use it cause I was unsure.

[@Flaris]

I love the look of Celibi and the potential. But it’s painfully inconsistent and doesn’t have the health to take many hits. I get why other decks are doing well. Mewtwo doesn’t need coins, Gyarados doesn’t need them (though nice when Misty cooperates) and so on. Every attack for Celibi is pure chaos.

[@wytetiger623]

Im with you 200%, aero machamp and marshadow is better then golem deck, but primeape marshadow and hitmonlee is crazy too

[@michealwilderman6471]

instead of gyrados i recommend doing starmie ex’s. less water energy needed so you can run fire energy as well and deal attacks with drud

[@michealwilderman6471]

plus the free retreat is really good between 2 starmies

[@dam777felover8]

Gyarados will dominate, i am using a variation with starmie ex and i have 8 win and 2 loses. The synergy with starmie early game and vaporeon to change energy is absurd

[@RobbieNero]

I feel like the celibi deck is extremely unlucky with flips as today i built it up to 10 energy and flipped 10 tails then on the very next go 12 and flipped 12 tails this is impossible thats 1 in a million chance to happen so obviously there is some gameplay rigging so you lose from time to time then the other guy gets 10 misty flips in a row... i should do the lottery.

[@SpVwn6]

Meta isn't real. This whole game is luck based. A bunch of coin flips and bricking all the time.

[@rogerdodger1984]

If it was only luck based, there wouldnt be decks dominating. If you dont understand how the game works, just say that.

[@DriveFastEatGrass]

The meta is finding the decks that have the highest win rate and also finding decks that counter those decks. I agree that it doesn’t take much skill to play perfectly as there isn’t that many choices that you have to make once you make a deck. Sometimes you just have to do some simple math. So basically building a good deck is the part that takes the most skill.

[@issues8084]

Fighting toolbox deck basically relies on 0 rng and shreds

[@chromark7552]

That's what someone who doesn't understand how card games and variance works would say lol. Blaming variance is just a proof you don't really get it

[@ModernHonour]

How good you are at the game is how well you can buy yourself time when you don't get the best cards straight away. You obviously don't know how to buy yourself time

[@kaisf]

Drujjigon? do you pronounce "hidden" ,"toddler", "paddle" with the J sound?

[@Spacefood]

THIS IS THE BEST DECK IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE SEND ME YOUR ADD & BATTLE ME. 1x moltres ex 2x ninetales 1x GA rapidash 1x MI rapidash 2x MI ponyta 2x GA vulpix 2x pokeball 2x prof research 2x sabrina 2x blaine 1x giovani 2x xspeed Almost 100% success rate if you go first & most games you'll win by turn 8-10. Moltres ex is only to be played if you get him in the first 6 turns to stack energy if possible. It works well against the new meta decks that take forever to stack. Focus on getting your ninetales in. The only way I usually ever lose is if my cards get locked in the deck somehow but games rarely ever last past turn 10. The only decks that ever beat this set up are ones with Gyarados & its like 20% chance for them. Do not use the Sabrina's to switch out strong opponents. Use them to bring the strong Pokémon in if possible so you can attack first.

[@SandLion]

Gyarados EX, Druddigon, Misty, and Greninja need to be nerfed. I see this deck going to last for many future pack releases, it's simply too powerful

[@victorleese9491]

I really really dont understand the drudgigon hype. I feel like it offers too lill in comparison to other tanks (mew being a big one since u can cycle it out with a budding expeditioner. Lets no forget wheezing). I feel like rough skin offers too lil since they can just ignore the drudgigon or just one or two shot it since 100 hp isnt that crazy. Hell eggexcutor lines put out so much more pressure, offer resilience with 160hp plus erika and ex can sometimes hit for 80!
