Decks & Strategy — Pokémon Forums https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/ Wed, 05 Jul 2023 01:21:14 +0000 en Decks & Strategy — Pokémon Forums Question on using Spiritomb Ticking Terror and switching. https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/4884/question-on-using-spiritomb-ticking-terror-and-switching Tue, 04 Jul 2023 19:30:51 +0000 Decks & Strategy Brandonusofa 4884@/en-us/discussions Hello.

Spiritomb 89 Ticking Terror says "Until the end of your next turn, the Defending Pokemon's Weakness is now DARK.

If my opponent switches on their turn does that mean the new active is weak to dark?

or

If my opponent switches does that mean it's still weak to dark even though it's now on their bench?

or

does the act of switching undo Ticking Terror and no one is weak to darkness anymore?

Thank you friends. Happy July 4th to you all.

]]> As a beginner with limited ex cards, is it ok to run a deck with 1 ex that is supposed to have 2-3? https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/4820/as-a-beginner-with-limited-ex-cards-is-it-ok-to-run-a-deck-with-1-ex-that-is-supposed-to-have-2-3 Mon, 03 Jul 2023 14:40:59 +0000 Decks & Strategy mochpandamonsta 4820@/en-us/discussions I'm using a modified version of a chien-pao ex deck, and most decks online call for multiple. This also happened to me in a game where it should have been an easy win, but my chien pao was KO'd and it was a struggle to fight on from there.

So i encountered this scenario where i can only relying on using 2 comfey and 1 cramorant for 3 turn straight, so on my opponent next turn their Mewtwo V-union is ready to play and wipe out my board with their damage counter spread, and also they play judge to disrupt my hand, leaving me no lost zone engine/support at all, if you were in this kind of scenario and you lack a good set up, what would you do?

I always stall out in the Great League on the ladder. I'm looking for some advice (general and/or specific) on what it takes to make it to Ultra League. Maybe you have thoughts on decks, strategies, philosophy? ANY advice would be much appreciated. Thank you friends.

]]> The new op deck in my opinion. https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/4397/the-new-op-deck-in-my-opinion Sat, 10 Jun 2023 04:08:23 +0000 Decks & Strategy 705zommer 4397@/en-us/discussions I made a deck consisting of the new Forretress ex and Wo-Chien ex. This deck is strong if you know how to use it. You can knock out ur forretress ex to search ur deck for 5 energy cards and attach to your pokemon in anyway you like. This ability is handy cause u can power up your Wo-Chien ex and then use its first attack for three energy to do 60 damage for each prize card your opponent has taken. This is the cool part. You can do 120 damage if you made your opponent take 2 prize cards from the knocked out Forretress ex.

I’m liking the mewtwo much more. It’s faster to get into play, and psyplosion can win you the game in a single turn if you’re careful about how to distribute damage. Also are zacian V union, pikachu V union, and morpeko V union decent in current meta and worth getting? .’
