Funny how Alakazam does with an attack nearly what Dusknoir did way back in Boundaries Crossed with an ability. Soooo many cards from that era would feel so OP if they got printed nowadays. I mean, they were OP back than too
Cool!!! I liked this card a lot when I saw it and also had to make a deck. I like alakazam and have been playing damage swap decks for a long time. I tried it with Tsareena ex, and with froslass / Raichu / munkidori / emolga, but you made it work even better! Are there other partners that would work even better with this deck?
Love it, love it, love it❤ have to build that 😂 i have seen a version with tsareena ex but this build has convinced me to finally get my alakazams into action!
I recommend to switch the abra with the 151 one because if the opponent plays two froslass, you could get into serious trouble to get that alakazam up.
I’ve been trying this out but I’ve gotten blocked by Zard a lot so I dropped one iono for tm devo to just be able to put just enough damage on their bench and tm devo the amount of zards that just scoop as soon as they see the devo get placed priceless
Why don't you just use the evolution of rufflet? It's a stage one. Its attack is free and it just puts 30 damage on all Pokemon with damage counters on it
I think the process is the same, because you can still prevent attacks from damaging you. And Alakazam or Pidgeot ex can also attack if you need them to. Maybe take out their draw engine as soon as possible to cripple their setup.
This deck needs a Vanilluxe from Paradox Rift. Its ability prevents Pokemon with less than 40 HP remaining from attacking. And it’s doesn’t need to be active for it to work. It’s like a panic mask but on steroids. Dragapult gets completely neutralized.
Raticate and the Hisuian Braviary that spreads damage would synergize well. There will soon be a dusknoir line that can give up a prize to spread some damage, activating reversal energy in your turn..
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's quite warm where I'm at right now. I have to turn off the fans and stuff while I record so it's quiet. But in turn I get really hot, probably apparent in my voice when my mouth dries up. Thanks for the sub and the reminder. I really appreciate it.
Ribombee is interesting but it's effect requires one extra turn. And if your opponent's pokemon retreats, the effect of Ribombee's attack gies away. It's extremely difficult to pull off. It's possible but highly improbable.
you should add a flying entry hawlucha from scarlet and violet base set. Its flying entry ability does 10 damage to 2 of ur opponents pokemon when u bench it. Combine it with raticate and thats ko
Does anyone know if Vitality band or Defiance Band are attached to Raticate when you attack with Super fang does the extra damage hit on top of cutting them down to 10HP and instant KO?
No it will not do extra damage, because the tool cards you mentioned increases only "attack damage". Alolan Raticate's attack does not deal "attack damage," rather it is considered an "effect of an attack," specifically reducing your opponent's pokemon's HP down to 10.
@@PopsicleKnight Thank you for the reply! I am a newer player so this is very helpful information. Am I right in also assuming since it is an "effect of an attack" that when using it against a psychic Pokémon its doesn't do the X2 Damage? Love your channel BTW! I have had so much fun play testing some of the decks you showcase IRL and on ptcg Live with my 10 year old. Thanks for the awesome videos.
bro first game, 1 damage to pidgeot, 1 damage to charizard ex and 7 to the charmander on the bench, how tf do you play this and not see that easy ass 5 prizes.
