Hydrapple is really cool, definitely a similar vein to this deck. But I like this build a little more cause you can set up checkmate boardstates where it doesnt matter what they KO.

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 2d

Its so much fun

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 2d

It feels like it. It's more important to find the middle stage earlier in case you dont see forest immediately

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah I think that's a result of a venu player benching things they shouldnt be at the wrong time. But that's still succeptible to turo/scoop

Ogerpon isnt much of an investment though. Cause it KOs kanga for 3 if they're set up, 4 with 1 on kanga, or 5 for 0 on kanga

It's so easy to flood 6+ energy

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 2d

The only thing that would get trapped is Mew only if you trap it with Sudowoodo and not Yveltal. Cause yveltal just gets copied for the 110.

They had to hero's cape clutch mew for any chance, and atp I just turo'd it and KO'd with venu

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 2d

What do they trap though?

Ogerpon nukes their 3 prizers, regigigas beats cornerstone, and mega venu safely swings into anything else (aside from risking 4 heads kanga attack)

Everything attacks in this deck.

My dude, you just said "clutch for long enough" against the deck with 2 Turo and Scoop up cyclone.

I played the deck cause its inheritly good into KangaAbsol and I do know the matchup. Maybe you havent played Venu players that know the marchup.

I'm probably gonna take a step back from Content creation and focus more on work and get back to designing games.

It's been fun streaming again, but I don't think with my promotion at work that I can keep doing this long term.

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 6d

My first game was Gold on the Gameboy Color and I remember it so well cause I'd play it during lunch break at Karate Camp over the summer as a Kid.

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 6d

These were my first Pokemon Games

No stream tonight or tomorrow. Got a busy weekend into a busy week this week.

Will most likely stream next week though, will keep you all updated.

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 12d

Precious Trolley I think is the overall best ace spec for this current format. (Obviously not for every deck. But overall)

So many decks want a full boardstate of specific mons as early as possible.

Solrock lunatone engines, mega kanga boardstates, even bouffalant decks are coming back.

Tysm!

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 13d

So I've got good news, I got a promotion at work and I'm super excited about it.

The downside is that with the additional hours I'll be working it'll encroach somewhat on my ability to make content, so streams may be a bit more sporadic.

39 Players at Locals tonight, congrats to our Top 8 Players.

My Hot Take about the Gold Cards from Mega Evolution

OnGaard @ongaard.bsky.social · 15d

It's been awhile since I've been tilted at PTCGL. I normally am just like "it is what it is"

But having 2 consecutive games of "iono to 2 into hit the nuts" was crazy
