The Stifling Stalling Pokemon

The Stifling Stalling Pokemon

I think that it may become necessary to tech stalling Pokemon into decks for the upcoming City Championships. There are many quick decks out there, so the need to be able to buy yourself an extra turn or two to set up can be invaluable.

The two best cards to be able to do this, in my opinion, are Mr. Mime MT and Shuckle SW. Mr. Mime requires that your opponent have at least 3 Energy cards attached in order to damage it. …

Platinum: Arceus card scans request!

Platinum: Arceus card scans request!

Hello guys! I’ve been busy this past couple of weeks and hence why the usual volume of content has been low. I definately want to make up for that, and I am eager to get cranking on typing out all the crazy ideas I have involving the next set, and hence why I want to request to our fellow readers who got some of the new cards from the prereleases to scan some for me so my articles can look more professional ;).

Here’s a …

Feeling Flippy? A High Risk, High Reward Combo

Feeling Flippy? A High Risk, High Reward Combo

Many players avoid any cards that rely on flips like the plague. Yet some cards buck this trend out of sheer usefulness. The best example of this is SSU, aka Super Scoop Up. The key to using SSU is to run four of them in the hope that at least two will end up heads. Risky yes (Fabien Garnier got 3 tails on 3 SSUs to lose in a key game against Stephen Silvestro at the 2009 Worlds), but also full of potential.

Disruptive Flygon Lock

Disruptive Flygon Lock

Some of you may say “Not again” – but still, there may have been so many different ways to combine Flygon with in this format.  Many of you may be aware that Flygon worked so well with the following techs (or secondary attackers) such as Machamp (SF), Nidoqueen (RR), Mewtwo Lv.X (LA), Palkia Lv.X (GE), Ariados (MT), Weavile (SW) and Dusknoir (DP) – as proven by numerous tournament wins and top cut finishings (including a 2nd and 3rd place finish at the 2009 World Championships).

There …

Garchomp C LV.X Supreme Victors SV 145 - Card of the Day

Garchomp C LV.X Supreme Victors SV 145 - Card of the Day

This is in my opinion one of the gnarliest Pokemon cards that came out in Supreme Victors. It’s attack and Pokemon Power are both just killer. “Dragon Rush” can take out Claydols and will snag you a prize nearly every time you use the attack. “Healing Breath” heals all your SP Pokemon in play, which again is awesome.

The best combo utilizing Garchomp C LV.X involves Luxray GL LV.X and Bronzong G PL. First, you want to make sure you have a …

Garchomp Supreme Victors SV 5 - Card of the Day

Garchomp Supreme Victors SV 5 - Card of the Day

I have seen this Pokemon card being used a notable amount at Battle Roads, even though I never really considered it to be a legitimate option when it was released. However, after seeing it being used a few different ways, I think that Garchomp may be a playable card.

The main draw to this Pokemon is “Speed Impact”. 120 damage for 3 Energy is pretty gnarly, even though though this damage can be limited. Its “Dragon Intimidation” Pokemon Body aids the attack, but …

Poryzon-Z Deck Analysis

Poryzon-Z Deck Analysis

Porygon-Z is one of the more interesting Pokemon cards out at the moment, and I had the pleasure of playing against a super solid deck based around it last week at Battle Roads.

The strategy is extremely straightforward: get Technical Machines in play and attack with Overload for a lot of damage (up to 200 with 8 TMs attached). This strategy is heavily aided by Porygon-Z LV.X, who lets you search your deck for any two cards and put them on top via its “Decode” …

GG: Third Season and Still Strong

GG: Third Season and Still Strong

Hello, and welcome fellow nerds players! My name’s J-Wittz, you might know me by my unbelievably long posts and commentary on articles from time to time. Well guess what? Now my long posts are up here at the front of the page with pictures too, so you almost HAVE to read them! I’ve decided that while I COULD write my Battle Roads tourney report in the fullest of detail with my most exquisite memory, it was actually the worst tournament of my career and my first …
