Episode 27 - Chandelure + Review (Dark Rush)

[darkrai1967]

darkrai is my fav 5 on #1

[TCGZapdos]

@darkrai1967 That's nice! :) Then you should definitely get Darkrai EX once it comes out.

[victini3000]

yup just a prediction

[victini3000]

suecune EX might be coming out as a promo like landorous

[TCGZapdos]

@victini3000 Jup Maybe, we'll have to find out..

[MigzHernz]

Out of all Poke-YouTubers, you are by far my favorite,

[TCGZapdos]

@MigzHernz Wow, that's great to hear!..This comment really means a lot to me :)

[RockyTeemuV]

Darkrai is my favourite pokemon :)

[TCGZapdos]

@RockyTeemuV Heh, Than you should definitely get yourself this ex card as soon as the English version is released :)

[sidedfries]

make a deck review of 6 corners

[ThePokeOS]

Around may June of next year

[TCGZapdos]

@ThePokeOS Once they've made the English version of that set, i'll definitely buy one :)

[ThePokeOS]

Are you going to get this booster box

[Articuno181]

i really wana get shiny Geovarder!!!!! whens the set comming out?

[TCGZapdos]

@Articuno181 Well the set is already out actually...But only in Japan...We still have to wait for the English release..

[ShiningPulls]

golden catcher is going to expensive

[TCGZapdos]

@ShiningPulls Definitely!

[digitalelixer]

damn dude, you've got really great vids for people interested in seriously competing in the tcg, not to mention you're very consistent! how aren't you a partner!!! hahaha. great vids though, man. helps me out a ton. much appreciated.

[TCGZapdos]

@digitalelixer That's really nice to hear man! I'm putting much work into my vids. because the game deserves more players...& What better why to get people into the game by telling them what's going on in the competitive world :) ..& yeah I only started this channel a few months ago. So it's a bit to soon to be a partner, even though that would be epic :P

[digitalelixer]

@TCGZapdos completely agree, i hope the online tcg encourages more players to start playing in leagues. We need more players for sure, keep up the good stuff man!

[TCGZapdos]

@digitalelixer Thanks & I will ;)

[DeadLotus93]

hey, what's the website you go to for all this news?

[TCGZapdos]

@DeadLotus93 PokeBeach ;)

[DeadLotus93]

@TCGZapdos this game is MAD expensive.......lol I wanted to play, its sucks that all the good cards are retarded expensive

[TCGZapdos]

@DeadLotus93 Yeah, it's really expensive to stand a chance at any tournament...That's why most people only collect the cards and not play with 'em...But if you do play in tournaments, it's a whole lot of fun! :)

[DeadLotus93]

@TCGZapdos have you seen how expensive the Ex-Mewtwo, on PRE ORDER is already????

[brunowert]

TCGZapdos, in the middle of the video you talked about a website with pokemon cards that i could see, what was that website? Also i'd like to start playing pokemon TCG but i dont really know what to buy first(i kinda know, but some sugestion would be nice) and i wanted to know what cards exist, what are banned and what not, is that possible?

[TCGZapdos]

@brunowert Yeah I was talking about PokeBeach. I've sent you the link to the site in a pm. & it's kinda hard to say. The best set to begin with would probably be HG/SS since that set contains: Collector, Communication, PONT, DCE, Cleffa & some sweet primes..But since that is the first set in our format at the moment, It would be stupid to start buying a lot of cards from that set. Because if they change the format, those will definitely become illegal. So I suggest going for the newer sets ;)

[TCGZapdos]

@brunowert & Our current format is HG/SS on. Meaning all the cards after the first HG/SS set. Including all the promos from HG/SS and B&W as well.

[TCGZapdos]

@DeadLotus93 Hah jup, it's just insane xD

[HorrendousHaxorus]

lol

"Golden Catcher!"

[HorrendousHaxorus]

lol the mewtwo gardivoir deck would be SO exspensive

[TCGZapdos]

@HorrendousHaxorus Yeah I know ..Ex cards, Shinies..& then maybe even some golden catchers..Hah, insanelly expensive indeed! xD

[TCGZapdos]

@TyrogueTheBabyKiller Yeah I know but I didn't mention in the video, you needed some switches to pull that off xD ..Now there's a notion on the video, so people won't be confused anymore.

[capreo84v2]

This just made my Monday! :D

[TCGZapdos]

@capreo84v2 Hah, that's awesome to hear ;)

[M3ATSNACK]

Chandelure would be great if you could retreat as much as you want during your turn xD. Unfortunately you can only retreat once per turn making this card not as good as you make it out to be.

[TCGZapdos]

@M3ATSNACK I aggree..I should have said in the video you need a bunch of switches & junk arms to pull that stunt off each turn...But I've put a notion in the vid. now, so people know that :P

[TheDutchCharizards]

does anyone need elektrik and some eviolites from noble victories? cause i have some for trade.

[TCGZapdos]

@TheDutchCharizards Nope, not me :P

[Lumpyrox1412]

Heres an idea, how about the next "How To" episode can be on fake cards and how to tell them apart from real ones?

I ask this cause today (on purpose) i purchased some fake pokemon cards cause they came with a sweet looking tin i wanted for my Yugioh cards! :P

I was surprised what i got inside, i got 3 pieces to a legend and like 5 other stage 2 pokemon mixed in with a few stage 1s and a couple energies, they didn't even operate as a deck correctly? :/ Why are the fakes nicer to us? :O

[TCGZapdos]

@Lumpyrox1412 Heh, i'll try to make a vid. about that in the future...But I don't think I have that many fake cards...Maybe one or two & that's it xD ...& yeah it would be epic indeed, if every official booster had those cards inside!

[AimanAnaqi]

Yes! This is my chance to collect rare candies ! Awesome review tcgzapdos!

[TCGZapdos]

@AimanAnaqi Heeh thnx! & yeah once the set finally comes out in English, it'll be Rare Candy time :D

[ThePokemonNetwork100]

U can only play chandelure if u play vileplume in it u can't run the risk of a plus power blue flare in chandelure

[TCGZapdos]

@ThePokemonNetwork100 Yeah, vileplume really prevents knock outs...But then you can't run that many item cards like switches (to use Cursed Shadow, 4 times in a row), junk arms, max potions & stuff...So you'll need to put energies in the deck to attack as well...

[lucarioAdventure1]

@TCGZapdos That doesn't matter. Vileplume adds consistency to the Chandelure deck, for example say I am playing Chandelure and can get out a turn 2 Vileplume vs. Magnezone/Eelektrik their set up has been disrupted extremely greatly. While they set up without Trainers you can use Cursed Shadow to spread around the board, using Dodrio for the same effect twice per turn. Then using the attack to further disrupt the opponent from KO's. The end of the game is you using Jirachi to de-volve and win.

[lucarioAdventure1]

@lucarioAdventure1 The variant without Vileplume auto-loses to Zekrom, Magnezone and Reshiram as well as Catcher destroying the deck entirely. To be honest you should of included the Vileplume variant really since that is the one that is doing decent and not the Max Retreat one

[TCGZapdos]

@lucarioAdventure1 Jup, agreed...Even though there are two versions of the deck...The one with the Vileplume tech, is winning the most..So you're right :)

[ThePokemonNetwork100]

@TCGZapdos thats true but unless u can set up 4 chandelure within a few turns its irrelavent cause sending him to the bench doesnt reset the fact cursed shadow has been used

[TCGZapdos]

@ThePokemonNetwork100 You're right...If you don't have a quick set up when you're using the other version of Chandelure (without Vileplume)..It'll turn out really bad xD ...But yeah I prefer the Vileplume version too...Since your Chandelures won't be knocked out in one blow with a blue flare or bolt strike :)

[ThePokemonNetwork100]

@TCGZapdos well that and vileplume will slow them down to ur speed and if u play jirachi which i feel is needed u can just load damage to say typhlosions and just time hollow them back to the hand for KO or just time hollow them back to cyndaquil unless the used quilava to get there

[TCGZapdos]

@ThePokemonNetwork100 Yes, Jirachi is a nice tech card indeed! :)

[ThePokemonNetwork100]

@TCGZapdos we should play on playtcg sometime

[TCGZapdos]

@ThePokemonNetwork100 Yeah that would be nice :) ...I hope they finnish the "Challenge a friend" section soon..

[kingzayzay23]

what the heck does golden catcher do

[TadashiStudio]

@kingzayzay23 It's the same thing as a normal catcher, just golden. I find it hilariously unnecessary, but I can see what Japan is up to with that card xD

[TCGZapdos]

@TadashiStudio Haah, yeah it's just a card that'll be worth alot more than the usual Catcher xD

[TCGZapdos]

@kingzayzay23 Golden catcher does the exact same thing as a normal catcher..It's just way more expensive :P

[METROIDFAN258]

Tornadus EX Raikou EX Eelektrik deck running Sky Arrow Bridge

[TCGZapdos]

@METROIDFAN258 Jup, the future is looking bright for lightning decks :D

[TadashiStudio]

Hold on though. I thought Chandelure would be a tad more difficult because you can only retreat your pkmn once per turn? So the most you can do is 60 dmg, unless you have Switches and what not. At least that's what I heard from my friends. Are they wrong? You can constantly retreat all you want?

[superstar0717]

@TadashiStudio it's once per turn.

[TadashiStudio]

@superstar0717 Alright, so doing the 120 dmg in one turn is a no no then =u=; Suuuucks, would have love to do that without using Trainer cards and what not

[TCGZapdos]

@superstar0717 Jup, You can only retreat once during your turn. But with the help of switches & junk arms it's actually easy to pull the combo off.. I should have mentioned that in the vid., but I added a notion now..So people won't be confused anymore :P

[TCGZapdos]

@TadashiStudio I know but I forgot to say, that you need multiple switches in your deck to pull that off..Together with some Junk arms too....So I updated the video with a notion, so people will know..You can only retreat once during your turn manually...But then you can always use some switches on your turn to pull of as many damage as you'd like...& Junk arm will also help to get those switches back :)

[JPvenarok]

Nice video!!!

[TCGZapdos]

@JPvenarok Thanks!

[cf11basketball]

How could u forget blaziken!?!? 130 for two fires and a colourless and then discard one!!!!

[TCGZapdos]

@cf11basketball Well, I didn't mention Blaziken since it's a stage 2 & it only has one good attack that deals 130 damage..Nothing that special even though dealing 130 damage is a good number to knock out many Pokemon..But Reshiram which is a basic, can do the same thing with a pluspower & he's much easier to get out...But yeah maybe Blaziken could be combined with Typhlosion Prime, we'll see when the English set comes out :)

[McCloud326]

When i saw the crush hammer card i thought that Durant decks would gain a boost, but the durant deck has a new enemy; heatmor from dark rush, for 1 colorless he does 10 damage but if he attacks durant, he gets +50 damage. that will KO durants for sure and he is a basic so he can be collectored for as well.

[TCGZapdos]

@McCloud326 Jup, Durant will be so easy to counter that It will lose it's playability xD

[PokemonJon1410]

U can only switch actives once per turn btw

[TCGZapdos]

@PokemonJon1410 I know but I forgot to say, that you need multiple switches in your deck to pull that off..Together with some Junk arms too....So I updated the video with a notion, so people will know..Thnx for pointing that out ;)

[Victini212]

Imagine using that Darkness Claw on Hydreigon, that would be very handy!

[TCGZapdos]

@Victini212 Yes indeed...All darkness Pokemon will really enjoy this set.

[Takharii]

I think the regular versions of the new EX cards actually look waaaay better then the full art versions. Just my opinion.

[TCGZapdos]

@Takharii Hah, that's what I think as well :)

[Samzilla33]

i had this great strategy with that accelgor. put him in a deck with tons of venusaurs and vileplumes. because after you shuffle accelgor into your deck, you just use 2 venusaurs to get him and the shelmet back in play. just make sure to run 4 collectors to get those shelmets ready to evolve. i mean neither of them are out in the English sets yet. but once they come out. I'll make sure to test it out.

[TCGZapdos]

@Samzilla33 Yeah that sounds great..Trainer lock, together with Venusaur's searching ability & Accelgor would be really effective. Since they'll need switch to get out of the lock :)

[BZrex5000]

yay 2 more shinys i like the gardevoir better cause you can tell it is shiny lol

[TCGZapdos]

@BZrex5000 Yay indeed :D ..It'll be great putting some shinies in a deck!

[jfeinable1991]

these cards are really cool but is so difficult to keep up! i dont have the money to get multiple copies of the newest cards! lol

[TCGZapdos]

@jfeinable1991 Yeah, I know what you mean..The game will become even more expensive since the ex cards will be worth more than the regular full arts/primes :P

[GengarsNightmare]

Speaking of Ctcher does anyone have any catchers for trade i need them badly look at the Trade binder on my channel

[TCGZapdos]

@GengarsNightmare Sorry I don't have any for trade at the moment.

[WOWjman713]

Don't joke about Suicune ex!

[TCGZapdos]

@WOWjman713 Why not?..It's just weird that they didn't include it xD

[TheShotgun86]

Wow, I pulled TWO reverse catchers in a zoura blister 3 weeks ago! So how much is that worth?

[andresballer03]

@TheShotgun86  like 40 bucks

[TCGZapdos]

@TheShotgun86 Now that's what I call, getting awesome pulls! Congratz & they're worth alot..Probably around $30-40.

[TheShotgun86]

Are the zekrom and reshiram promo?

[TCGZapdos]

@TheShotgun86 Jup!

[HurdurPokemon]

Thanks for these dude! I love 'em!

[TCGZapdos]

@HurdurPokemon No problem, it's nice to hear that you like 'em ;)

[TheShotgun86]

SO, you can 4 golden catchers and 4 catchers

[TCGZapdos]

@TheShotgun86 I don't think so..The name of both cards are the same.. So you can only run 4 catchers in total..

[TheShotgun86]

@TCGZapdos okay thanks for letting me know!

[TheShotgun86]

1st viewer and commenter

[TCGZapdos]

@TheShotgun86 Nope not really, but thnx for the comment ;)

[803dax]

bro thanks for doing something on chandelure :) and also do u think u could pm a deck list u think u would use,if u have time to :) thanks again brohas :)

[TCGZapdos]

@803dax No problem & i'll probably sent you a decklist tomorrow since i'm really busy today.

[803dax]

@TCGZapdos okay not a problem bro when ever u have time!and just real quick do u think running a few rainbow energy is good so u can set up a lil bit faster?

[CuttingEdge3078]

wow those packs are sick!!

[TCGZapdos]

@CuttingEdge3078 Jup, it'll be an amazing set...The return of the EX cards, Legendary Birds, great pack designs..I just can't wait :P

[ShiningDarkDrag0nite]

OMG NEW EPISODE!!!! I LOVE THESE!!

[TCGZapdos]

@ShiningDarkDrag0nite Hah Thnx! I'm glad you like 'em :)

[CuttingEdge3078]

for triners in thsi deck would u run eviolites and rocky helmets?

[TCGZapdos]

@CuttingEdge3078 Well eviolites won't work since Chandelure isn't a basic Pokemon but Rocky helmet could really work here :)

[NSproductionz14]

Tornadus EX looks sick!

[TCGZapdos]

@NSproductionz14 He sure does!
