ZoroGarb for Portland, Jon’s Idea Dump (UPR–CEC Edition), and Charizard & Braixen Hand Lock for LAIC “-1 Cobalion-GX -1 Mr. Mime PLF +1 Garbodor GRI +1 Brigette For the most part, I thought Michael’s list was perfect. It was well suited for the expected meta. However, to the surprise of some, Archie’s Blastoise, arguably the most hyped deck going into the event, didn’t have a single spot in Day 2.

Seniors Philadelphia Regionals 2016 Tournament Report with Zebstrika/Eelektrik “(Yes, I seriously played this.) For any of you who care to know, this deck contains 17 one-of cards, including 4 different Tools and 6 different one-of Pokemon. All testing was done through theorymoning and nothing else. 4-4 Zebstrika NXD These are your main attackers, and as such, run as many as you can. For those who do not know, Zebstrika is a Stage 1 with 90 HP and it has an attack called Disconnect, which prevents the opponent from playing Item cards during their next turn. I can almost guarantee that most of you are asking, “Why play this over…
On Playing the Pokémon TCG Optimally “Some Strategies That Aren’t Currently Important Playstyle Adaptability Going Rogue Identifying Weaknesses in the Metagame and Format Metagaming In-Game Skill Endurance Basic Arithmetic and Powers of Observation Conclusion It’s strange to talk about the strategies that exist in the Pokemon TCG – to even admit there are multiple strategies to this game. We often think of strategy as something more simplistic than it is. “Practice,” “plan ahead,” “counter X with Y”… these are the most common bits of advice that float around in the Pokemon TCG.
