Magnezone strategies.

Hello! I'm trying to build a deck around Magnezone ex; I have 4 of them, 4 Magnemites, and enough rare candies/Magnetons to make everything else work. Does anyone know of any good cards to use (other than electric generator) to help this deck out? Thank you so much :)))

Path to the peak with mew??

PachirisuFan1 — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 18:18:47 +0000

lately i keep seeing people running path to the peak in the fusion strike mew deck. WHY are you running that card in there. It blocks your own ability to set up?? why do that

I'm new to this so I may need a guide on how to do things here?

I have several decks with different types but I want to build my own but I'm new on putting together the deck so I needed some advice to make it work?

How do you counter Mew / Genesect as a F2P player?

mdanger — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:57:33 +0000

I have many cards and run other meta decks, like lugia, miraidon EX, lost box, etc. but I have a friend who started playing because his son is interested, and they’re being crushed on the ladder.

Without spending much, or any, money what do you run to have a hope against Mew? I told him to just buy the battle decks and run it himself but he doesn’t want to.

Any stadiums that restrict/punish moving energy around?

HandsomePrints — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 17:54:52 +0000

Are there any stadiums (or other cards) that prevent the unlimited and free movement of energy among an opponent's Pokemon, such as that granted by Dusknoir's [BRS] Special Transfer ability?

Klefki [SVI] and Silent Lab [PRC] only work against Basic Pokemon.

Consistant "post rotation" Magikarp/ Gyarados PGO deck

MrPirate20000 — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 17:34:30 +0000

So ... love it or hate it ... I love Magikarp, absolutely favorite Poke. I've had a ton of success playing the below (list below) deck for months, but with rotation, it looses ALOT of contributors, and, though I've tried dozens at this point, ways to make it work, I'm having an awful time of it for post rotation.
Primary issue is the loss of quick ball but VERY much the loss of twin energy. Quickball really hurts the ability to get rid of a Magikarp/Gyarados each turn (which is vital, but can be overcome) ... the true nail in the grave is the loss of twin energy. Yes, we have double turbo, but it breaks damage so much end of game that its a major problem (not to mention it slows down early attacks knowing that there is limited "double" attachment).
So .. anyone else out there in love with this deck and finding ways to make it work? Looking for some advice here. I am hoping I'm just missing some creative way to make it fly consistently again (I can regularly beat out any of the meta decks with the below format if I play smart despite it being a meme deck .. and I just love the game play).

So far I 've done the following:

Moved in Ralts/Kirila in place of the current Cinccino engine. (this works fine, but is a little ugly)
Replaced the twin energy with standard eyeball energy (this gives me access to Ralts attack once one of them is discarded, which makes for a good stall as it disables my choice of attack on the opponents card for a turn). This however slows down my ability to turn two attack and have anything consistently powered up for the inevitable loss of my main front card (they are designed to be one shotted in this deck anyway). So the use of regular energy is sort of breaking any ability to be consistent.
replaced quick ball with various other things to try and get more discards: tried the poke stop ... it breaks me about as often as it works (getting rid of things I actually need far too often). I've tired adjusting supporters to be more heavy into discard, but then I run into availability issues.

I really feel like the main issue is loss of energy attachment / availability with the loss of twin energy. Any ideas?
