Custom Garchomp Deck. First post.

idk_cards19, Mar 26: Yeah, I've postponed the making of the deck for now. I forgot a bunch of cards here and there, and I definitely can't keep up with anybody nowadays. Sometimes I forget how much Pokemon has changed. I could deal with EXs very well when they came out,...

Explaining Rotation - Why it happens and what is it?

Bradaction, Mar 18: Hi all. I remember back when I starting playing the Pokemon Trading Card game way back in December of 2016. I attended my first tournament around the time of March or April the following year and for a beginner as myself, I found many terms like...

Casual Deck: Zeraora

donavannj, Oct 2019: For consistency of being able to strike with Discharge every turn? Magnezone. If you're only casual/at home, you can run cards like Lady or Professor's Letter to get your basic lightning energy cards.

Lost March

donavannj, Mar 2019: Yeah crossing the 210/220 threshold is hard because I was running out of ways to lost zone more Pokemon by that point. But I'm also not running Choice Band at the moment which could probably fix that. Will apply some tweaks from your list...

Shiftry GX

donavannj, Nov 2018: I like all the suggestions. I will need an opportunity to parse out this list and actually trial the ideas. That said, I'm probably not gonna face much that's going to actually put the deck through its paces in the near term.

Expanded Garbodor/Golisopod GX

Hands, Nov 2018: Something like this would be better. You don't need the second Garb line. You only need the Garbotoxin one. Golisopod is always a 2 hitter (unless you run across something weak to grass) so choice Band is pointless too. You want to run thick lines...

Dark/Physic casual Mewtwo/Yvetal deck

Hands, Dec 2016: Basically you try and start off with OW Yveltal, drop dark energies for the ultra balls and then use oblivion wing to get them out of the discard and onto your benched pokemon. It's kind a recycling technique that speeds the whole process up
