A Look at Espeon-GX/Garbodor and a Missing Clover Zoroark-GX List for Collinsville “This deck is disgusting. The goal of it is to set up multiple Zoroark-GX and gradually Trade away all of the useless cards in the deck. This eventually gets you to the 4 Missing Clover combo, which nets you an easy Prize. This deck only needs to take 5 Prizes to win! Even better, there’s Greedy Dice! This card belongs in Zoroark-GX decks because it can be Traded away at no cost when it isn’t prized, yet when it is, there’s a 50/50 chance to yield an extra Prize and potentially steal a game. In today’s format, many games come…
Discussing the 2015 World Championships Invite Structure “Who Deserves an Invite? The New System Tournament Structure Other Concerns Conclusion I think itβs important to take a step back and take a look at the goals in mind when deciding on the invite structure for Worlds. It seems reasonable to say that the goal of Worlds is to have the best players from various regions come together and play for the title of World Champion. So then, whatβs the best way to do this? There has to be some kind of system in place to determine which players are the best in each region. In the case of…
It’s highly skilled at tap-dancing. It waves its cane of ice in time with its graceful movements. (Mr. Rime)
An Early Comprehensive Look at Emboar/Delphox “First up, a skeleton list to get started: This leaves us with around 20-30 spaces to work with on our choices. I’ll first go over the possible Pokemon inclusions. Do note that this article is aimed at the general audience, but I specifically try my best to provide a detailed guide for those who are much newer to the game, and want to understand a little more about decks such as Emboar (which they might not have the chance of knowing/playing due to the availability of Tropical Beach). Tepig LTR & BCR I personally prefer a 2/1 split of the…
With their great intellect and flying skills, these PokΓ©mon very successfully act as the Galar region’s airborne taxi service. (Corviknight)
A Case Review on Deck Building through the Lens of Zoroark for London “The first thing I do when considering a new idea is explore what inherent strengths and weaknesses it possesses, and how those interact with the existing format. I usually make a mental checklist, but here are some things I considered: ProsΒ ? 110 HP Basic means less early game knockouts Unique Ability Flexibility Relevant Type Changing Tools ConsΒ ? Fighting Weakness CCC attack means two attachments before anything can happen Evolution Now, I’ll consider these attributes within the context of Gardevoir-GX and Garbodor variants, which reigned supreme last format, and Alolan Ninetales-GX and Buzzwole-GX, the most hyped newbies. The CCC attack cost…
A Weekend at Cities, Social Media Q&A, and Interview with Jonathan Paranada (#1 US/CA) “To be completely honest, Pokemon hasn’t been a very big focus in my life as of recently. To start off my season, I began by attending both Phoenix and Vancouver Fall Regionals, and I placed in the Top 8 at Vancouver.Β Fast-forward to a month after Regionals, and I had dropped the ball hard on testing or playing the game even casually β the only reason I had touched my cards was to shove them all into my nightstand drawer. In order to snap out of this funk, I made myself commit to going down to the Portland area for a…
Learning From Tournament Prep feat. Buzzwole (Part 1/2) “I feel like I’m beating a dead horse as I say this, but my testing this year hasn’t been up to par. I’m busier than I was during college which is my normal excuse, but most of it boils down to just not enjoying sitting down and playing hours of Pokemon like I used to. However, leading up to Collinsville, I played significantly more than I have this entire season. Between streaming, a few coaching appointments, and my normal testing, I was playing 10-15 hours a week. I also was watching more Pokemon than usual, between the Australian Internationals stream…
This PokΓ©mon keeps its heat-sensitive head cool with ice. It fishes for its food, dangling its single hair into the sea to lure in prey. (Eiscue)
