I should have mentioned that you can use any type of Trainer cards you don't have to specifically use the ones I showed in the video. Also, experiment with different deck builds by playing with friends and family to see what works and what doesn't. That is the fun in building your own deck. Hope you all enjoyed! 😃

By far the clearest explanation of WHY you build a Pokemon deck a certain way. Not just the rules for building a deck.

[LittleBitBee]

Pro tip: if you use 1 type, maybe also add some normal types. You are able to attach any energy to normal types, energy likely being your chosen type. This gives you a wider range of cards, that can use the same energies. (Plus, if you find a Pokemon of another type that only needs colorless/any energy or the type your using for its attack, consider adding that Pokemon into your deck as well.)

Five minutes in and I’m already convinced this is the best beginners guide to Pokémon deck building. I’m trying to get a couple simple decks built for my daughter who’s just starting out. I suppose it’s not so incredible how similar the process is to MTG. Anyway, thanks a ton.

[palsson]

Man! The simplicity of this videos just makes it great! No fuzz, just simple explanation for people who just want to play with their kids or family at home!

[deanhuntley]

Thank you so much. This was very informative. My daughter and I have just started in our Pokémon journey.

My kids had Pokemon Battle Academy for Christmas and wanted to start building their own decks. Now I have a better idea of how to do it courtesy of your video! Thank you for sharing :)

[zetsubonozomu]

I usually used 20-20-20 but now that ive seen this i have rethought my deck, thanks

[avishekmajumder]

You are a proper teacher man... i have seen so many videos and understood shit .. watched yours once and i am enlightened to the level prof oak... you are awesome

[bethzolin]

What an excellent video - clear and informative, and very helpful to this grandmother who is busy deck building a deck for each of her four grandchildren - aged from 5 to 9 - all of whom have just started to play TCG. Thank you.

[kyloru]

You made this way more SIMPLE then my brain has been trying to make out playing Pokémon all together ! So helpful and just the right tone and pace for beginners ! Thank you…subscribed !!

[MikeMadrigal_guitar]

As someone who starts collecting and try to play again since teenage this video was really helpful and well explained. Maybe next video you can talk about building a deck with 2 type of energies. Thanks a lot and greetings from México

I’ve been a Pokémon video gamer since I was a kid but Yu-Gi-Oh started to bore me so I wanted to learn this TCG too lol I would recommend this video to all new and returning players!

[joemorton]

I’m just gonna simply ditto what most of everyone else said in comments. You’re an amazing teacher and you broke it down easy enough to fully understand it all by the end. Thanks man 💖🙏💖.

[da_pawz]

This is so helpful. Your explanation is crystal clear and easy to understand. I haven't play Pokemon TCG for more than a decade, and basically I still remember the system so I can hop into the game with starter or theme deck immediately but kinda forgot how to build a deck properly. I just back in the online game and also back to buy / collect the cards. Thank you for this.

I was 8 years old when I first started playing Pokémon TCG battles, and since then the game got bigger and better! Now I’m 22 and this video got me hyped to play again and start a fresh Pokémon card collection :)

[Captain_Juicy]

Awesome video! I never knew how to play or build decks as a kid, and now, as a 30 year old im picking up the hobby again, and im loving it. Built my first deck today and played with a buddy, and we had a blast. Keep up the good work :)

[florentbled]

I just wanted to say thank you. My 8 y.o. recently started playing PTCG and I am trying to learn how to play so I can play with him and share some special bonding time. I was struggling with other videos and this (and your other one about how to play) were the most informative I've seen! You've clearly spent a lot of time and effort into it, you're doing a great job at explaining it in an approachable way, and I'm grateful for that! Thanks!!!

[nickbaker]

This is very helpful! My son and I have started to play pokemon together and this kind of info is a big help as we are starting to build our own decks after initially playing with precons. Thanks!

[JayStoney]

Thank you so much, Tim. I've binge watched your videos on how to play and now deck building. I bought some booster packs, and I wanna teach myself how to deck build instead of relying on a prebuilt deck. I plan on going on a pre-release event, and I wanna know exactly the format I need. I love how clear and precise your instructions are. Every video I understood and you were straight to the point no beating around the bush, so thank you for that
