Hope everyone is having luck climbing ranked!

This last week I primarily played Solgaleo/Shiinotic (deck list below) and was able to get up to UB4 so far.

I run the standard list with the exception of giant cape. I feel like it helps with Charizard matchups (lets Solgaleo survive 1 attack) as well as helping Shiinotic survive type nulls and Oricorio in other matchups.

I did play the new Type Null/Blacephalon and like some aspects better but kept getting unlucky starts so haven’t stuck to it.

Weekly post to discuss what decks people are having luck climbing with!

I started this season using a type: null / rampardos deck which is pretty good. Having to go through 3 Pokémon is tough and type:null starts are always pretty good although going turn 1 can be awkward.

I ended up switching to Buzzwole after finding out you can get around the Big Beat drawback by retreating to the bench and sending back out which isn’t too hard to do with Celesteela’s ability. Have had a lot more success with this deck.

Seen some new Solgaleo decks and some charizard/type null decks that seem decent but inconsistent.

Yeah I doubt this goes through especially after the reports that the US agreed to different terms already and then is changing it again.

As others have said no one source should have blanket trust.

Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important.

For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was.

If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.

Looking at the Wikipedia page it’s a US government org and has been a target of DOGE cuts so probably just keep that in mind.

I’m kind of burned out from the last 2 seasons mostly just stringing us along.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Yeah it’s definitely a grind I quit around UB3 last season lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah if you don’t have rare candy yet your best bet is probably Darkrai EX/Giratina EX since most of the other top decks require 2 rare candy.

Thankfully you should be able to trade for them starting next week with the new expansion.

Yeah I wasn’t sure if this was a crossover or were later gen Pokémon then what I’m familiar with lol

Shit like this is so depressing. I understand AES states to some degree have to work within the current western hegemony to survive and build capabilities but I feel working with Israel is crossing a line.

China’s stance with them frustrates me even more since they’re even more well positioned to refuse.
