How to Build Your First Pokémon Deck! 

Having a charizard with the 'burn brightly' ability on the bench has been SOOO OP for me. It makes every fire energy be worth two, essentially halving energy costs

Why doesn't this video have more views? I'm getting into Pokemon TCG and was initially intimidated on how I planned to build my first deck. But this video helped ease my nerves and made me understand a lot about the current meta, playstyles, and what to look out for in a deck! Thank you for the video, you earned a new subscriber. God Bless you!

Ive been a collector since 6 years old. Never learned how to play until 20 years later. Why have i not learned sooner? This looks so fun

Thanks to this Im trying my hand at build a mimihyu V deck, I'll never financially recover from this

Algorithm bless this video, this was so helpful to learn about important cards in the game. Thank you for this!

That was a nicely produced video, Drak.

I'm newer to tcg and I've built 5 decks so far. I feel like I'm far enough along that what I've built is ok for just me and one of my friends. We're not diehard to the point of playing competitively. We're just having fun. I tend to lean towards a lot of healing through tool and item trainers and choosing Pokemon that can deal out damage to my opponents bench. So keeping my HP up, while destroying all of my opponents HP. It's worked ok so far. Nemona and Nemonas backpack have proven to be pretty useful to me for just drawing from the deck and recycling from my discard pile, and of course I have some trainers in there to search energy and pokemon.

Well done! Super helpful even in the new meta

Great information!

Really useful info! Thanks Drak!

Okay. barley even watched the video yet. And all ive gotta say is I SPY THAT BUNCLE PLUSHIE THERE. and all the other FF14 stuff lol

First deck???? I'm a lifelong mtg player. My wife and I are trying pokemon. We typically build decks from packs or common lots only. All the vstar and ex cards would need to be bought as singles I'd think. Even the less powerful ones require multiples of the basics and stage 1 and 2 to be effective. Just seems harder to build a deck without buying a pre-made one or singles.

hi

can you. donate me battle academy set please

I have more then 7000 POKEMON BASIC ENERGY CARDS 2023 SVEen 001 to 008. I'm trying to figure out what they are worth and how to sell them. These came from a comic book store, I assume they opened packs of cards to find the more valuable card and sold theses separately. I do not want to small lots but I may if can make money selling small lots. I listed them in an ebay auction starting bid $200 for the whole lot of 7000 and it did not even one view.
