Maybe add metal Empoleon to counter Garde?
Too many stage 2 man it cant work!!!
I can’t afford this hobby man
I feel like you should play 1 Acerola if you are going to play Lele and Shrine.
I love this deck. Maybe tech in a Frost Rotom to counter Ray and Gardy that swarm energy onto their side of the field.
That first game when Gardy was down to 20, did you avoid the play to Guzma their Lele for the knockout and flying flip to snipe the gardy fearing the max potion?
It’s not bugged. You were in the Price lead so the counter energy only counts as one energy attachment
Weird to think they are both theme decks
I play Swampert Empoleon with magcargo I’ve been at this that thought out when Swamper got revealed for post rotation. Still working out the Kinks with my deck
I was looking at the new set. Could you try Norverin GX with Judge and Margcago and Acro bike, with hammers — more of a control deck? I’m not sure if it will be to slow. But in this meta, a possible early turn item lock would seem like it would create a lot of problems with such slow setups. It just seems like players can’t wack till the 3rd or fourth turn. Figured Item and special energy lock would add a layer of complexity for the opponent. — just thoughts
Man, this looks like it good be a fun and hard hitting deck! How can I go about finding the deck list, sir? Thanks for everything you do and keep doing what you do for the community
Are you going to put those gx counters up for sale on your etsy’s store??
Hey mahone loved the deck. I think shrine of punishment is busted in this deck. And yes you r right in the comments that it was not a bug because you were ahead in prizes. But that’s ok, humans do mistakes. Nice!
Would you ever tech in a metal Empoleon for a better garde matchup?
15:15 cmon You said it Yourself I am ahead in prizes => only one NRG
Andrew would you like my list for Empoleon Swampert magcargo
It’s not bugged, you were ahead on prizes, so the Counter Energy turned back into it’s single colourless state.

Hey Mahone, wanted to ask your advice to us students becoming teachers? In my second year of college currently!
18:11 Andrew could’ve Guzma the Lele GX for knockout, leaving the opponent whit the Gardevoir GX with 20 HP left ready for “Flying flip”. Either win condition or making him slow down (using Max potion), I guess it could’ve been better. Great content as always!
What are your thoughts on Ilima?
I think Alolan Vulpix is even better this format
This is the second video in a row where you said a deck is on the verge of being great lol. It seems like these videos are actually my favorite, where the deck isn’t OP and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Empoleon, Greninja GX, etc. Maybe even some GX decks that aren’t the most popular now. I know the channel is “competitive”, but you don’t have that in your channel’s name anymore, so maybe we can see more gameplay like the last two videos where you defeat Ray and Garde (or have close games) with these “almost great” decks 😀
Mahone I don’t think this is
Good enough to be competitive
Because it’s main Pokemon
Are both stage 2’s
I would cut the superboost and add the baby ninetales. Ive been playing a 2 2 alolan sandshrew/sandslash line with the free attack (30/60 dmg), 3 vulpix, 2 baby ninetales (cant be attacked by gx pokemon) and 1 gx ninetales and a 3 3 eevee glaceon deck. Baby ninetales has been great! And also turn 2 frost bullet for 90/30 dmg and ability lock 🙂
I wanna see a video of mahone just flailing his arms around for 5 mins like this one in 3x speed
Soooo hyped that I won the GX Counter! I can’t wait to use it in all my games. Thanks for the awesome giveaway Mahone!
