Minor correction, you pretty much always go dual energy with Alakazam/Weezing. Reason being is that most experienced Mewtwo players are not going to hoard 3-4 energy to let you one shot it, since it pretty well telgraphed. One tackle from Weezing is all you need to get it in range. Plus Psychic just requires one Psychic energy to use so the chance to get energy screwed is pretty minimal.

Attacks that hit the bench normally don't do weakness damage. In fact I don't think they ever do but it will do weakness damage if you opt to hit the active Pokemon.

Hearing these non-veteran Pokemon Youtubers trying to pronounce names that have been around since Gen 1 is infuriating yet hilarious at the same time 😂

Important reason for playing electrode is 0 retreat cost. Can counter sabrinas with that or just play voltorb on open and retreat once you have the energy on the zapdos or pikachu.

[HunidLikeWilt]

Text that says "this attack does 30 danage" does apply weakness. The reason why Hitmonlee's Stretch Kick doesn't apply weakness is because you can't apply weakness to benched pokemon (that's a rule in the TCG and most cards specify it, it seems like on Pocket they stopped writing "don't apply weakness or resistance to benched pokemon" on the cards and instead just hard coded it in.

Example: Zebstrika's Thunder Spear (the same attack as hitmonlee but you also have the option of hitting the active) vs a Water deck will do 30 damage if I hit a water type pokemon on their bench (even if they're weak to electric). However if I hit their active water pokemon it would do 50.

[LumberjackMC]

One of my favorite decks right now is Marowak ex/Pidgeot. No need to run Sabrina because of Pidgeot's Drive Off Ability, Run it with a Hitmonlee and a regular Marowak for the ability to do 40 damage with 1 energy with 100 HP. Definitely check out Mogwai's video on the deck.

[Gdboys]

It feels so good to get out a Marowak early and club a Mewtwo for 160. They concead such a great feeling everytime ya wreck a mewtoo or Pika

[PocketMads]

This website is awesome! Thanks for showing it off in this video - Ill definitely be using in the future (:

[valentinafuffa]

nah playing dark energy alongside psychic in kazam+weezing decks is perfectly fine, alakazam only requires one psychic to attack, and weezing loses much of its ability to apply pressure if it can't

[josh--el]

I believe benched pokemon never consider weakness/resistance. This applies to Zebstrika, Greninja, Dragonite, and Hitmonlee. It's partly indicated by the damage being in the description (do 30 damage) rather than listing the move's power on the right side of the card like typical attacks

[strangesolution]

with hitmonlee that pokemon on the bench do not experience extra damage from weakness. Greninja can damage the active pokemon and if it is weak to water it will take extra damage.

[LucianoPafundi]

raichu isnt the cheaper way, is the best way, you volt charge magneton, then play eventualy raichu and lt surge, mostly combo to counter other pikachu decks and since if the counter is better than the deck, you just play the counter and win regardless

[JayPlæz]

My man!!! I followed you for years on duel links!🎉 so glad you moved to pokemon

[jmanuelrm]

No way... your name sounded familiar and now I remember you from Duel Links and your participation in worlds 2017. Awesome

[puore]

I think your website is game changing for pokemon pocket, as it is for yugioh

[ToadGamingYT]

Electrode and Starmie are also free repeaters. Thats huge in pokemon

[DioTMP]

Pidgeot Arbok is kinda nuts, some non ex decks are pretty crazy too

[heavensentaaron]

love that you're making content on this game, thank you :)
