Keep triggering the retards, king. They are coping and seething and doing revisionist history because they were wrong and cannot correctly evaluate cards until YouTubers tell them which decks are good.

I was able to discern that Gyarados EX did not suck when the entire thread was saying how bad he was. I did, however, incorrectly evaluate how bad his energy discard mechanic is; it's bad and unnecessary, but it's not exactly detrimental. Regardless, he's still a 180 hp body that has Misty and swings for 140, just like I said.

No matter how you want to choose to look at it, I was more correct than anyone else in the thread.

>>57123659
I am not a liar, nor am I the "tier 0 Celebi" poster.
This guy >>57123549 isn't me, but he is absolutely right. People were saying Celebi is tier 0. Threads for multiple days were just people bitching about how "busted" Celebi is. You sound butthurt that you got called out and shown evidence.

I wanted to use Drudd after seeing it in so many Gyarados decks. I fully understand why it's in so many decks now, it makes Sabrina plays useless and sets up easy revenge kills.

The only problem is the high retreat cost, but that's fixed with Leaf.

Completely wrong.

I agreed with someone who is making fun of the retards in this thread. Then, one of the retards said "you can't even read; people were vouching for gyarados EX" which is quite literally me. Then, after he learned this fact, he decided to do a complete 180 on his stance, making him the hypocrite. It's very possible (and likely) that he is now samefagging after insisting incorrectly that I'm the "tier 0 Celebi" poster when I am not, making him once again the hypocrite and not me.

I just like laughing at the retards in these threads who literally need YouTubers to tell them what to play, all while bitching about netdecking metafags. Stay seething, stay coping, and stay wrong. You are all of these things.

Bring the 5 consecutive battles down to 3, the game can be rather RNG heavy. I got the badge on the last round, but I'm not looking forward to it again.

Sometimes the heart of the cards is at the bottom of your deck and your opponent has a full bench after playing 2 Pokeballs, an Oak, and going second. Nevermind the fact they got their evo first and you're still fishing for yours.

Except that I'm telling the truth, and you do believe me, and you did "accept [it] at face value". That's why you suddenly did a 180 after you learned that the person vouching for Gyarados EX was me. Before I told you this true thing, you were mad at me for ignoring the "people" who weren't calling Gyarados EX shit in favor of paying more attention to the many, many more people who were calling Gyarados EX shit.

The modern pokemon tcg designers have been pathetically bad since HGSS when they fired people for making the game "too complex and giving it too much depth."

Now all pokemon only have up to 2 attacks or 1 ability and 1 attack, instead of 4 attacks or 1 ability 3 attacks. Attacks an abilities got less complex and are copy pasted on to other pokemon and so a lot of pokemon cards are extremely comparable to one another.

At this point it's safe to say there definitely isn't even an attempt to put some work into most cards. A pack will have a set number around 170-200 and maybe 3 pokemon in the set will be okay at best and 1 might be good (99% of the time those pokemon will be ex/v) meaning 99% of all pokemon cards printed these days are literal pack filler

It's still pretty soon to say because pocket started looks decently balanced with ex's not having hundreds more hp then their non ex counterparts and dame numbers not looking too high until you look at some obvious outliers like mewtwo, pikachu, starmie and misty. Now with this second pack we have mewtwo 2.0, 180 stage 1 ex and druddigon which like you said is basically a stage 2 but a basic and has effectively replaced everything across multiple types as the go to front liner. So I think theres a good chance as the ex's pile up the game will become very similar the modern tcg and suck.

Our only hope is golem becomes very popular and sets precedents, the game doesn't become ex focused and stage 2's get respectable stat lines

Anon, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

So, let me get this straight, the deck is actually good and not high variance garbage but the top players who understand the game well enough to win these tournaments haven’t figured this out? When people joke about Misty players being retarded they mean the average ladder randos, the people playing Misty (even in Apex meta) in tournaments are clearly better players.

what do you guys think? is it worth it with just 1 Golem?
>>
>>57123909
You're partially right. How well-represented a deck is also factors into things. Like last week, Celebi was flooding the top cuts of every tournament, but mainly because like a third of the players were using it. Meanwhile, Gyarados only popped up on top cuts a few times, but very few people were running it.

But when it comes to Golem/Druddigon, we just don't have enough data to tell if its top was a fluke or not. Pokemon is luck-based enough that any shit deck can fumble into a good ranking once in a while. We'll have to see how it does in future events before we judge it.

Misty's only commitment is to bar you from playing other Supporter cards for the turn, there's no need for people that know how to play it better, just play their Water decks in general better

So there are no decks that are respectable to run now that the Golem deck got a 1st place
>>
>>57123938
Bait aside, it's because the metagame shifted very suddenly once people realized Gyarados was good. Scolipede did well because the meta was 90% Mewtwo and Celebi a week ago. Gyarados counters it hard, to the point of making in non-viable.

By the same merit, we're going to see a huge resurgence of Pikachu due to the meta shift.

I think it's probably at least as good as Mewtwo EX was before it got Slab and Mew EX. I think Celebi is good enough to compete with the meta decks, but not good enough that it stomps them or is "broken", as this thread was crying about in the first few days.

>but the top players who understand the game well enough to win these tournaments haven’t figured this out?
...no, that's you projecting your own fake argument that you made up and that no one actually said. This is a very common tactic for 4chan shitposters. They make up a shit argument and then they argue against this fake argument instead of anything that anyone said. This is what you're doing.

Anyway, like I said I think that only retards play Celebi and that this happens in tournament as well. "Tournament players" are just regular people, they're not necessarily a higher caliber of people. Except the people who can place consistently, obviously (if they even exist) but in a fucking egirl tournament of 1000+ people, there's no way you're getting only good players. It's absolutely just the same ladder retards who misplay. I don't know what it is, but anyone playing a Celebi deck is almost guaranteed to misplay. If Hanamon or whatever his name was decided to play Celebi, he's probably do well with it. It's a capable deck that is mostly played by bad players.

People didn't realize Gyarados is very good. YouTubers started making videos and the hivemind took over. Gyarados is good, but people didn't "realize" this, people were told this.

>By the same merit, we're going to see a huge resurgence of Pikachu due to the meta shift.
Pikachu doesn't beat Gyarados though. I know, because I've been playing Gyarados since the day the event started. I had one guy Electabuzz my Magikarp. That only happened once. I've won every other Pika game.

>>57123976
We have tournament stastics. Literally the only Gyarados deck that made top at the recent 1500 person tournament was the one that lucked into never having to battle Pikachu. The second best performing Gyarados deck only lost twice, and it was against Pikachu both times. That result was pretty similar among most Gyarados decks that entered (even in other tournaments). Gyarados has a ridiculously high loss rate against Pikachu. It and Charizard are the only two decks that consistently beat Gyarados.

So the meta is just stall with druddion and build up a high energy pokemon

Scolipede players are only "retards" in the sense that they were late to adapting to the unstable meta we're in. The deck worked very well when Mewtwo and Celebi were super, super over-represented, but kind of fell apart as people started playing Gyarados.

Celebi players are retards, though.

I don't think it's better than new Mewtwo, and I'm inclined to believe that actually good players wouldn't want to introduce any more coinflips into this game than is absolutely necessary, outside of maybe Misty that is inside of a deck that is good even when Misty flips tails (which is most Misty decks, including Gyarados EX)

You're creating a separate argument and arguing against it, rather than the argument that is being said.

Can’t remember if the deck was slow or the the guy I played if locals was (in more ways than one), but I distinctly remember some of the most boring games I ever played involving that deck. Couldn’t even roast the guy for playing solitaire for the entire round like the resident ritual beast tard.

meh it's a 3 stage mon and does less damage than M2/Gyarados for only 1 less energy, plus it's too telegraphed, if your opp sees you setting up Pidgey they'll try to avoid having a full bench. I don't have this card yet but seems like too much work for too little payoff

What the fuck does this even mean, and why are you still melting about it? And is pic related what you're talking about? I think pic related is probably about where Celebi belongs. Maybe a little bit higher (around Pikachu, not above Gyarados) if non-retards ever start playing it. You're probably conflating me with your tier 0 Celebi bogeyman. I'm not that guy, and I actually made fun of him already.

I swear to god, you guys have negative reading comprehension. You must be zoomers.

>>57124046
I do think old Mewtwo was about as good as current Celebi is, which is about as good as Pikachu was.
>>
>>57123870
There used to be a site called TCGone that was basically that, but I stopped using it in 2015-ish, right around the time current metafags were starting to discover it. I have no idea if people actually play the retro formats on it anymore.
>>
>>57124072
What if he is the Celebifag now? Hmmm
>>
>>57124013
Gyarados is less than half the work, and with more hp.
Pidgeot can work though, it just needs the right combination of colors and support.

I’m beginning to think this poster is actually Celebi himself
>>
>>57124061
>Or are Celebifags the new fossilfags?
All I said is that the Celebi deck is pretty good but is played mostly by retards, and then people with negative reading comprehension are almost certainly conflating me with the tier 0 Celebi guy, which I do not think is the case at all. I also have always known the ex-professional TCG player was a larping retard.
>>
>>57124032
>It’s the same shit with every card game
It isn't. MTG has infinite formats and only a couple care about tournaments results. Yugioh and Pokemon have one official format and they are all tournament drones. Pocket's only official format is a random free-for-all, unofficial tournament results where you battle the same decks are irrelevant to the game and only fags try act like they matter.

It absolutely is good. It will wipe the floor with the majority of decks you can make in this game. But it lacks the reliability you need to win a tournament with because at some point bad luck will screw you over in a game you should've won.
If you're just playing casual games then who cares, you're still going to be winning far more than not.

>Vaporeon to maintain energy
Gyarados does not run Vaporeon. You did not play a Gyarados deck, you played a random water deck with Gyarados in it.

You just build Gyarados and sweep. In order to win as Pikachu, you must kill Magikarp before it evolves. Zebstrika or Electabuzz. That's your only option. You can't get through Drudd with Zapdos, and you need Giovanni to get through Drudd with Pikachu. You will never swing into Gyarados first unless your opponent has a shit draw with no basics to trade for Sabrina. Gyarados ohkos everything in the Pikachu deck and does not get ohko'd by anything besides a Zapdos hail mary.

Pokeflute is a double Giovanni that lasts for the rest of the game which is funny. Beheeyem is usable if you want to double up on the gimmick. And Jynx can punish them for trying to just set up one pokemon.
But none of these do anything early game. You could tank with Mew EX, or Sigilyph is just a Meowth with 20 more HP.
And going psychic means you can use the Slab.
>>
>>57124151
I tried Aero EX with Eggs. It's okay, but it's not that great. You still just win games off Eggs rather than Aero, so I switched it to Mew EX instead of Aero EX and it was an improvement. You're probably best off just putting it in a Golem deck now that he's the new hotness. I haven't tried it but it could be good.

The only Pidgeot EX deck I've played was Pidgeot EX/Drudd/Mew EX. I lost to it with my Eggs jank, but it was down to the wire. He drew Pokeflute for the win. It was a bunch of bench rotating, but it lasted long enough for him to draw it and he won. I had already used my only Sabrina much earlier (probably a misplay). I don't think it's a very good deck.

You could try Aero EX too.

OK, so say you have the opportunity without spending a card, and without looking before or looking after, to swap the bottom and top card of your deck. Do you take it? What about just without looking, moving the top card to the bottom so the second to top card is now on top? Do you take this free opportunity?
Well it doesn't fucking matter what you choose. Because your deck was random before, and it's random now. It statistically has zero impact.

If you think that's not enough psychics to actually get the draw often enough to be worth a deck slot, then that's fair. But worrying about sending something to the bottom of the deck is pointless.

I'm confused by what I'm looking at here. Judging by your hand this is 6 turns later, so Mew ex Psyshot you Druddigon for 20 damage 3 times. Nothing on your side took 120 damage so Mew ex never copied Guard Press.
The only way I can make sense of your board is they got a second Gardevoir out, switched out the Mew (that's why they're up 5 energy instead of 6), and you killed a Gardevoir for your 1 point? Then they cracked back with Mew?

Oh.
Disregard >>57124265

I didn't see the whole game, but it's my impression that you lost by clogging your bench.
If the stall fest continued you'd have eventually cooked a second Golem and that would have secured a win even with your opponent's extra time to prep.

I don't think gyarados loses to Pikachu. Pikachu needs to get strong opener and be ready as soon as it has 2 energy which isn't always the case.

MtG dies when Planeswalkers were released, then it died again when CawBlade happened, then it died again when they banned cards during BLM, then it actually happened for real no questions gg no re when it started becoming crossover slop.

>>
>>57124256
Assuming this was after Mew copied Golem's attack, you could:

>Retreat with Leaf
>Play Drudd at full health
>Build up Golem's energy
>Wait until Mew or Mewtwo bites and kills a Drudd
>Revenge will with Golem + Gio

You'd only need to wipe one EX to win the match and they'd still need to get past a Drudd, forcing their hand
>>
>>57124275

>>
>>57124272
Oh poor little anon, I am speaking from experience. That's why I don't understand how Gyarados loses. You need to Zebstrika or Electabuzz the Magikarp on the one (1) turn that you can. That's the only way Pikachu can win, because Pikachu can't fight Gyarados, and most decks don't even run Zebstrika anymore, so it's basically gotta be Electabuzz, and if you're evolving on curve, it's probably not Electabuzz, because Pikachu players put energy on Pika or Zapdos first, not Electabuzz.
>>
>>57124269
I did lose by clogging my bench because if I was able to get mew out 1 turn earlier I would have won but there was no space for a while
>>57124278
my mistake was not realizing that mew gets -30, so I attacked with my golem thinking that game is over, and then the game went on for a bit after and I lost by 1 turn because my mew was 1 energy off to kill the mewtwo

>you need to snipe Magikarp
This is an extremely common misconception. Even if it evolves, you should just keep hitting it with Zebstrika until it goes down to Pikachu's OHKO range. Drud exerts zero pressure so there's nothing stopping Zebstrika from staying in the active slot.
Gyarados has an abysmal match-up vs Pikachu.
>>
>>57124337
>Hmm I am nooticing!
Yeah welcome to the game. Card advantage is what wins. Color me surprised
>>
>>57124314
That's what I'm saying, man. I've never even kinda had a problem with Pikachu as Gyarados. The only paths to victory as Pikachu are:
>1) have Zebstrika/Electabuzz on deck to snipe Magikarp on the one (1) turn it is vulnerable. Also, hope they do not have 2 Magikarps out.
>2) do nothing all game, hope they don't get a Greninja online, and just charge up Zapdos for the coinflips.
>3) recognize immediately that you are playing Gyarados, and do not play out your EXs, because you need to sac a non-EX mon so that you can revenge strike with Raichu, sac the Raichu, and finish off with a Zapdos or whatever. This also banks on them not getting a Greninja online
>>
>>57124339
Electabuzz works too, and only takes one card slot, so basically every Pikachu deck will be running one of the two.
>>
>>57124286
Close enough, but the Sabrina shake up is much more important than Misty.
>>
>>57124346
>the one (1) turn it is vulnerable
Gyarados doesn't have a way to search its evolution. Or really even get to it faster. It can take the deck a couple turns to find one.
>>
>>57124342
>Card advantage is what wins.
Umm... card advantage doesn't win, sweaty. Energy advantage wins. Card advantage in this game is nothing like card advantage in other games. This game's "card advantage" is energy cheats. Let's try this again:

>Mewtwo
Gardevoir cheats
>Moltres
Moltres cheats
>Gyarados
Misty cheats
>Celebi
Serperior cheats

The only "honest" deck is Pikachu, but Lt. Surge is kind of a cheat too.

Gyarados is vulnerable to chip damage even if it evolves. With enough chip damage from Zebstrika or Electabuzz, it's gonna get OKHO'd by Pikachu once it's goes to the front.

No, but if you're going to make a blanket statement like "Gyarados beats Pikachu", and evidence is showing that Gyarados has an 80% loss rate in recorded matches, then you've got to make a compelling argument that this number doesn't represent the average Gyarados match.

Otherwise, it's very easy to make stupid claims like "Melmetal is the best deck in the game" and say "any evidence shown is wrong. I always win with Melmetal".

>>57124339
You are a non-player if you think pika has a good match up against gyarados... you would have to get lucky with pika to win. It takes zeb/buzz 3 turns to get gyarados in pika kill range, a lot can happen in that time like switching out druddigon with leaf or an x speed. On top of that you have to actulally have zeb or buzz ready to attack both of which take 2 turns at least to set up. So FIVE TURNS to kill Gyarados by then gyarados could be set up and ready to sweep.

I definitely can believe that a pika deck can stop gyarados ex easily if they snipe the carp but any win for pikachu after that is luck or a struggle. If your looking for a gyarados counter try golem with hitmonlee. Hitmonlee can snipe magikarp better then zeb or buzz and golem can go toe to toe with gyarados.

Most people try to out stall golem tight now and so you typically end up pulling your whole deck which means you get to choose which golem you are gonna use(most of the time). I'm thinking about dropping the X-Speed for a second leaf and 1 hitmonlee for a marshadow but I don't know if that's a good idea or not

You have to be patient, golem doesn't just win the game state has to be just right for it to succeed let druddigon widdle down pokemon you can't 1 shot or if they are running druddigon send out hitmonlee to chip at their hp so they can get swept by golem. And remember to 1 shot magikarp s with hitmonlee whenever possible.

I think Water just generally has better things to be doing. Like, if you're going to be playing Water, you're playing Misty with Articuno, Starmie, Gyarados, etc. The only time I used Tentacruel was when I was specifically making decks without EXs in them.

it's probably above average at best; one of the better budget options at least

>>57124556
You're thinking of Gyarados. Golem is a lot harder to pilot because it only does 120 damage, so a lot of times you have to awkwardly shuffle Hitmonlee and Marshadow around to create a situation where Golem can close the match. Golem will get his ass kicked hard if you tunnel vision on setting him up.
>>
>>57124629
Golem lives everything in the entire game and only gives away 1 point.
>>
>>57124629
This but also there's other situations where sometimes Geodude is just vulnerable, and other times Hitmonlee is just fucking worthless.

Why would you run Pokeflute outside of Pidgeot EX? Like, I get the stars aligning and it's 2 points to 2 points, and your opponent didn't play down any other Pokemon so they're not vulnerable to Sabrina, so that you Flute into Sabrina for the win (oh, and also your deck needs to play Giovanni too in order to kill the Drudd that you brought back because you don't have 100 damage)

The fuck did I come back to?

I don't run Zebstrika, I just Sabrina them or OHKO past Druddigon with Giovanni on Pikachu or if they get Gyara online early with a Misty assist I change strategy to rely on Dedenne para positioning and/or Zapdos burst. You don't just absentmindedly go Pikachu every time if it's obvious it doesn't actually achieve the winning damage.

>Idk how it's possible to say I didn't have any problems with the matchup and then get met by condescension as if I did
Same!
>>
>>57124831
you take out the threat before it gets set up. lumineon is good into heavy set-up decks like arcanine, gyarados, and golem. it's bad into more aggresive decks like pika, starmie, celebi (erika ruins you).
mewtwo is probably a wash because you can take out their ralts/kirlias before they get gardevoir but they're setting up mewtwo while you do that. but starmie is good into mewtwo. lumineon snipes vulpix against blaine but that deck literally can't beat starmie anyways.

>>57123553
With what's happened to the meta in a day 100 for on a stage 1 ex seems reasonable but aerodactyl was made with the previous meta in mind

You're based if you win cringe if you lose
