I also prefer playing decks that have a chance against everything, as opposed to just a couple good matchups. This left me deciding between Golisopod-GX/Zoroark-GX and Buzzwole-GX/Lycanroc-GX. Both decks fit…
A Guide to Putting Yourself in the Best Position to Succeed in the Pokémon TCG “This is simple, folks. Okay, but actually: I do want to highlight my League Cup this weekend as an illustrative example. Gardevoir did very well at the last Cup in Michigan, sweeping something like half of Top 8, so I expected people to counter it. It did not help my situation that Michigan, and especially this venue, has always been somewhat inclined toward Metagross—plus, I’d just written about Metagross, too. So, when I saw a sea of Metagross, Silvally, and other Metal-stuff comprising about half of the field in Round 1, I probably shouldn’t have been surprised. Nevertheless, I went 4-2…

Kenny’s Guide to Success in Tournament Preparation and Progression “You’ll read a lot of articles that tell you to get plenty of sleep and make sure you eat a nutritious breakfast. While I think you should be doing these things, I don’t think it needs to be repeated here. Of course you are going to function best on enough sleep and enough calories. This should be obvious to anyone with a SixPrizes account, though I admit it is easier said than done. The only thing I’d like to add in this realm is that I don’t think you should break from your personal routine all that much. If you’re…

Primer on Building the Best Owl List and Examining Its Place in the Standard Meta “Decidueye/Vileplume first saw competitive play in February at Anaheim Reigonals, where John Kettler piloted it to a Top 16 finish. He then brought it to St. Louis and played nearly an identical list for an Expanded Regional, finishing in 2nd place. That same weekend, Decidueye took down a European Regional streamed by Pokemon, further thrusting it into the spotlight. Oceania Internationals followed this power weekend from Decidueye, where we saw 5 Decidueye decks in Top 8. From there, it has been one of the most dominant decks of the year. Decidueye’s strength started to diminish in May at Virginia Regionals.…
The Creation of Vespiquen/Tech, Revisiting Orlando, From Standard to Expanded, and Favorites for Philadelphia “Going through and analyzing the deck-building process can provide wonderful insight for even the best players. I hope you can draw some parallels from the way this deck was constructed and how we prepared for the main event. Even though the deck looks a bit like a binder-drop, every card was deliberately included. For reference, here was the list myself and Ross played on Day 2 (and quite a few piloted on Day 1 but unfortunately did not make it through the grind): 4-4 Vespiquen: This was our main attacker and should not need too much explanation, but one thing to…
Its curly fleece is such an effective cushion that this Pokémon could fall off a cliff and stand right back up at the bottom, unharmed. (Wooloo)
On a Prodigious Return to Magic: The Gathering and What Pokémon Can Learn from the Industry’s Best “Hello SixPrizes! My name is Patrick Casey, and I am a Pokedad on the 6P Forums (@Patrick1865) and a TCG competitor with my son and daughter at events on the Atlantic Coast. As a dad that plays the game, I’ve come to enjoy it far more than I ever thought I would. While I have become accustomed to being the oldest player at just about any Pokemon tournament we attend, I am young enough at heart that I don’t mind losing to — and learning from — the friends of my children! Recently, I have spent some time playing Magic:…
Improving Meta Decks to Create the Three Best Decks in the Format “Shuffling is a funny thing. There are so many ways to shuffle your deck efficiently, and it seems like every player you encounter shuffles in their own way. Shuffling is something that occurs many, many times in one game, yet it is something that isn’t talked about often. I don’t think shuffling is a big deal, and I don’t care how my opponents shuffle as long as I can see that their cards are moving around so that they do not have any idea where a given card may be. As for me, I don’t have a stylish shuffle. I…
The VS Seeker Engine Explained and Its Application to the Top Decks “The Logic of the VS Seeker Engine and When NOT to Use It Why I Run Jirachi in Almost Everything The Top Decks – Now Featuring VS Seeker! Virizion/Genesect Donphan Yveltal/Seismitoad Seismitoad/Garbodor Manectric/Toad Honorable Mentions Quad Reshiram Plasma (TDK) Conclusion The concept of the VS Seeker engine in a deck essentially requires a player to cut back on cards such as Professor Juniper, N, and Colress in order to make space for VS Seeker. By leaving high counts of the Supporters you want to open with and lower counts of the ones you’ll want later, you create a system in…
Tool Time Deck Analysis “The whole point of Toolbox is to set up a Trubbish, usually by turn two, and hopefully get enough Tools out into play with the help of Sigilyph so that you can power up Trubbish’s attack Tool Drop. For the cost of a Psychic and Colorless Energy, this attack does 20x the amount of Tools in play. Sigilyph who has an Ability called Toolbox, hence the name of the deck, that allows you to attach up to 4 Pokémon Tools to it, which breaks the normal limit of one Pokémon Tool per Pokémon opening up the gate to getting more…
By rapidly rolling its legs, it can travel at over 18 mph. The temperature of the flames it breathes exceeds 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. (Carkol)
This Pokémon consumes particles that contaminate the air. Instead of leaving droppings, it expels clean air. (Galarian Weezing)
