Another day, anotherPokemon TCG Pocketevent.
If you lose, you have to start all over again.
I know that Starmie ex combined with a good Misty has won more events than any other deck.
Thats followed by Mewtwo.
Therefore, I went in with a meta deck of my own.
However, my results were mixed.
I didnt encounter a single Water-throw in deck in the ladder.
I won a couple, but never built momentum.
In four matches I went 2-2, and never felt confident.
So I adapted, and brought out the big guns.
By which I mean Jessie and James.
In a field filled with Mewtwo decks, go for something that beats Mewtwo.
Mewtwo players get scared when they see Dark-types.
If youve also got Arbok set up, its even easier.
If it gets off a Psydrive in return, youve only given up one prize.
However, the real utility of this deck is its flexibility.
you’re able to pivot so freely between the one-retreat cost Arbok and Koga-able Weezing.
you might keep things poisoned or prevent your opponent from switching out.
This deck can take all comers.
Maybe Mukinstead ofArbok, instead of as well as?
Four with Pikachu ex, a clean sweep of five with Weezing and Arbok.
But this event is not about pure power, its about consistency.
Playing the meta is boring.
Playing the meta ispredictable.
Not like a Caterpie deck, not even Articuno and Arcanine weird.
But something your opponents arent used to facing.
And humble their mighty immersive arts with clever play and toxic fumes.
Pocket’s card-collecting achievements hint at just how long The Pokemon Company envisions this going on.
