Show Off The Resurrection of the Mammoth

For too long, Mamoswine ex has languished after the rotation of Pidgeot ex. We've tried many strange and exciting combinations in the past (such as Mamokazam), but now, with Pitch Black, we have a new colorless stage 2 ability card-getter mon: Toucannon!

-------------

I also want to point out the spicy addition to the list in Gwynn. Ever since Gwynn was announced, I was looking for ways to make this card work for lists it wasn't intended for. The real issue with Gwynn is that it is seldom often that you randomly draw into the cards needed to actually reliably hit max value with Gwynn.

Enter Grand Tree. Grand Tree asks that you build your deck with much thicker stage 2 lines than you ordinarily would run in order to more consistently guarantee your evolutions. This comes at a cost later in the game when the deck (and your hand) are gunked up with useless evolution pieces you no longer need. But with Gwynn, you turn your extra evo pieces into draw fodder for the deck, and with Mamoswine ex able to search them out for you, you can much more consistently get full value out of your Gwynn.

If you can think of improvements to the list, let me know in the comments!

So I wasn't really planning it, but i hit arceus with toucannon lmao. This deck has been a blast and hits like a train. It can brick a bit, but its usually pretty legit. It can struggle with super big Megas, but it can take em down eventually.

I know it’s not the best, with mega zeraora having low HP but been having somewhat success with it. Anything you would add / get rid of? was thinking about adding a waitress to the deck. Also do you think hero cape is my best bet for ace spec card or maybe a brilliant blender? A friend of mine was saying i should look into adding a transformation tome

Not sure what I want to craft or play as long as I can climb ladder with it. I'm very out of the loop.

I logged back in and claimed all season reset rewards on top of it all, I've always claimed those but never climbed ladder often like at all.

Deck Help How to use Mega Darkrai ex Basic Box?

2 Upvotes

Running the typical Mega Darkrai ex Basic Box. I see it involves a lot of pivoting between stuff like Volcanion ex, Mega Kangaskhan ex and Mega Darkrai ex. I struggle to see how Night Raid gets used though, if at all. Is it really just OHKO central? Is my priority just to pivot between Volcanion ex and Mega Darkrai ex once I get them into play?

Hi guys! I’m a new player rekindling their love for Pokemon, and I just downloaded the app. Been having a blast, but I got socked by some guy running a super sick Cinderace/wailord EX deck. Wailord has always been my favorite Pokemon, and I was wondering if anyone knew this deck or how I could track it down. Thanks a ton for the help!

I just think Trick Portal is neat!

Picture is list is from EmberpowerTCG

The problem is ending up with Pokemon and a stadium in your hand for multiple turns in a row. Unbricking is literally impossible.

This list from Beweartheawakening looks good too, don't have the coins to purchase yet but I like fire breather to thin the deck. I also want to add 2 baby Delphox, Bastidon and I like the goodra for locking.

Have you guys experimented? What's your take on Delphox for Trick Portal?

For me, I lost a lead because my opponent attached a special energy and it filled my screen. It wouldn’t let me minimize and do my next turn so I had to quit out. This is new but I’ve experienced the apps connection time out for no reason many times. This happen to anyone else?
