I've recently been playing the rapid strike box deck that won NAIC on TCG live, and it's so good. In one game I took all six prizes in one turn! I was playing against a Miraidon/Regieleki deck, and I used gale thrust on a Regieleki VMAX, which, thanks to weakness, did three hundred damage. But Regieleki VMAX has three hundred ten HP. So I Yoga Looped it, took an extra turn, used some double gunners to put damage on an involved Regieleki V and a Raikou, and then used GMAX Rapid Flow to take my last three prizes. So insane. The deck is freakishly consistent too, with Forest Seal Stone and Octillery and Irida. You can just cherry pick all the cards you need out of the deck, maybe only take one or two prize cards that turn, and boom! Next turn you Yoga loop and win the game. It's gotta be the best spread deck like, ever. It would be my instant pick if I was going to a tournament. I'm gonna be so sad when it rotates.

    And Gardevoir will be limping after losing BVP, Zacian V, and Shining Arcana Gardevoir.

    But I bet it’ll survive

    I also think that it'll survive, maybe by employing weird tactics, like swapping out zacian and Shining Arcana Gardevoir for Clefairy LOR. It has a strong ability that can help accelerate energies, and it's attack is somewhat like Zacian's, the damage output is just lower. Maybe going for a full playset of nest ball will help it survive the loss of BVP. We just need a strong psychic menace like Zacian V and then the deck will be back on its feet. And Pokémon! If you're reading this, PLEASE REPRINT BATTLE VIP PASS!!! I'M BEGGING YOU!

    Well they made Scream Tail so Gardevoir is alive and kickin’

    TBH I would like to see Pokémon games slow down a bit so I’ll be glad about no BVP.

    @OlderAngel11

    Scream Tail is an Ancient Pokémon with 90 HP and an attack that does 20 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokémon for each damage counter on Scream Tail. But this caps at 160 damage snipe, right? Well, there’s also a new card called Ancient Booster Energy Capsule, which is a tool card that grants +60 HP to the Ancient Pokémon it’s attached to (as well as making it so it can’t be affected by special conditions), making it so Scream Tail can have 150 health, which means if you slap seven energy on with Gardevoir ex (dealing 140 damage to it) all of a sudden Scream Tail’s attack does 280 snipe. So once you snipe Manaphy with Cressilia you can use a single-prize Pokémon to snipe 280 at VSTARs and Pidgeot ex.

    Also has a retreat cost of 1 so starting it is not a problem.

    Yeah, that's pretty good, it might just make it harder for Gardy to win against Sableye, if you're leaving ten hp targets lying around.

    @OlderAngel11 (whoa you’re not Wigglytuff anymore! 😂) if they don’t knock out your Scream Tail, you can swing with it again (it doesn’t discard energy or anything), and so you‘ll only have one charged up at a time. In addition, against Lost Box, it’s less likely you’ll be swinging for 280 every turn because you will only be needed to do 80-100 damage to knock out Comfeys and Sableyes, meaning your Scream Tail will often have more than 10 health left.

    Yeah, I decided to use one of the new profile pictures. (You're not Lucario!) My favorite Pokemon of all is Dragonite, but Raichu is like, my fourth favorite pokemon, and the profile pictures is so cute, it looks like he's pointing something out to somebody. I definitely like the scream tail idea. for Gardevoir. Now we just need some consistent way to search out Ralts, because Battle VIP and Mew are going to rotate at the same time.
