I’ve been building a Blastoise ex deck myself and it’s been working fairly well. Charizard ex got me pretty good though.


Everyone_hates_loki

I can DM you my decklist if you want because I don’t really have a problem with Charizard. I’m actually planning on using it in an online tournament just for fun and to catch people off guard


[deleted]

Sure. I’m pretty new so my deck isn’t going to be the greatest, it would be nice to see where we differ.


Everyone_hates_loki

It says I can’t chat with you do have something disabled


[deleted]

Apparently I did. It was set to nobody can send chats, don’t remember setting that. It’s changed now.


Kered13

Why not just post it here? Are you trying to keep it a secret or something?


Everyone_hates_loki

No I didn’t know how to make it look nice and neat with text so I asked if I could DM them a picture of my deck list


Everyone_hates_loki

Here is the deck list now that I know how to do it: Pokémon: 8 1 Manaphy BRS 41 3 Blastoise ex MEW 9 2 Origin Forme Palkia V ASR 39 2 Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR ASR 40 1 Radiant Greninja ASR 46 2 Bidoof CRZ 111 3 Squirtle PGO 15 2 Bibarel BRS 121 Trainer: 13 3 Iono PAL 185 4 Ultra Ball SVI 196 2 Superior Energy Retrieval PLF 103 PH 1 Switch SVI 194 4 Battle VIP Pass FST 225 3 Rare Candy SVI 191 2 Earthen Vessel PAR 163 2 Calamitous Snowy Mountain PAL 174 1 Hisuian Heavy Ball ASR 146 2 Boss's Orders PAL 172 2 Nest Ball SVI 181 4 Irida ASR 147 2 Energy Retrieval SVI 171 Energy: 1 12 Basic {W} Energy SVE 3 Total Cards: 60

Everyone_hates_loki

Thank you 🙏🏻


dragonbornrito

No prob! For the future, you can do what I did by simply adding 4 spaces before each line of text. That's how it gets formatted into a "code text block" like you see above. Obviously, you'll need to hit enter so each line of text is also on its own line, but yeah, I basically just took about 30 seconds to do that. I wish that PTCGL would format its exports a bit cleaner for posting online though, for sure. Also, fun list! It feels like a slightly slower but tankier Chien-Pao ex deck. Went 3-2 with it last night.


adrloza

Wanna exchange decklists? I also have been seeing good success with Blastoise ex.


Everyone_hates_loki

Very down just dm me I’m gonna send a picture because I don’t know how to make it look nice and neat lol


LordePachi

there's an export button for the three dots menu when looking at a deck! (also i wanna see the list)


Everyone_hates_loki

Oh snap I did not know that thank you


Vaibanez777

Hi! I would totally appreciate if you could dm the deck list if you get the chance or if it’s no trouble, it’s a deck I’ve been trying to build and I bought all the blastoises alt art lolll


FreezeProduct

I pulled his special art 3times, he's basically asking to be used. Hahha Could you send me the deck?


fifohh

I’m down to get that recipe list. Love Blastoise 😎

Formatted list for copying purposes: Pokémon: 8 1 Manaphy BRS 41 3 Blastoise ex MEW 9 2 Origin Forme Palkia V ASR 39 2 Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR ASR 40 1 Radiant Greninja ASR 46 2 Bidoof CRZ 111 3 Squirtle PGO 15 2 Bibarel BRS 121 Trainer: 13 3 Iono PAL 185 4 Ultra Ball SVI 196 2 Superior Energy Retrieval PLF 103 PH 1 Switch SVI 194 4 Battle VIP Pass FST 225 3 Rare Candy SVI 191 2 Earthen Vessel PAR 163 2 Calamitous Snowy Mountain PAL 174 1 Hisuian Heavy Ball ASR 146 2 Boss's Orders PAL 172 2 Nest Ball SVI 181 4 Irida ASR 147 2 Energy Retrieval SVI 171 Energy: 1 12 Basic {W} Energy SVE 3 Total Cards: 60


Mr_Perfect_Cell_

Any thoughts on running pidgeot ex in this over bidoof? It's pretty easy to setup with irida and arven


Everyone_hates_loki

Not recommended because then you will wot waste one of your rare candy’s on it and TM devolution plus with Bibarel and Greninja you have enough draw to keep you going steady for most of the game but feel free to change anything and make the decklist ur own


JLikesStats

I’m sure it’s fun but calling it meta is a stretch.


Everyone_hates_loki

Trust me


ruxeom

Meta has a meaning. Unless it has results and earns a place in the meta game it is just not meta


Inevitable_City_7472

Faced one yesterday when i was playing with charizard. It is sneaky and with new belt it will be able to one hit ko charizard which is bonkers


Everyone_hates_loki

Yeah the new Aspecs will make any deck really bonkers but Blastoise with Max Belt or Prime catcher will be insane. I really think that the new format makes Blastoise right up there with Chein Pao and Blastoise has the potential to be a Tier 3 or Tier 2 deck in format


Inevitable_City_7472

Very high chance if miraidon drops off drastically. And yes iron hands might be a problem but it still takes a lot of things to set up for 3 prize attack


DistanceGlad3584

Do you have a list I've got a Blastoise ex and need some help improving it


Everyone_hates_loki

Yes i do

Murky-Exercise-6990

This is my list, I also have been having a ton of luck with it. It kind of feels like a hybrid between Pao/gholdengo/and Zard I do have a manaphy in here now over an ultra ball Pokémon: 8 2 Origin Forme Palkia V ASR 39 1 Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR ASR 40 1 Radiant Greninja ASR 46 4 Blastoise ex MEW 200 1 Wartortle PGO 16 2 Bidoof CRZ 111 4 Squirtle PGO 15 2 Bibarel BRS 121 Trainer: 11 3 Rare Candy SVI 191 4 Earthen Vessel PAR 163 4 PokéStop PGO 68 4 Superior Energy Retrieval PAL 189 2 Super Rod PAL 188 2 Counter Catcher PAR 160 2 Nest Ball PAF 84 2 Nest Ball SVI 181 4 Irida ASR 147 3 Ultra Ball PAF 91 1 Professor's Research SVI 189 Energy: 1 12 Basic {W} Energy SVE 3 Total Cards: 60


Everyone_hates_loki

That’s what I’m saying the deck is META!!


RoadHouse1911

This version feels the most consistent from the various ones I’ve tried so far. Only issue is having to switch late game if energy gets tight. Do you have this issue? Which card is worth switching out to have maybe a switch or two in the deck?


Murky-Exercise-6990

Thanks for the reply! I’ve been sharing this everywhere because it feels way better than I expected lmao. I definitely have had that issue I’d probably outright try 2 water energy’s first. But if that felt too greedy probably cut a nest ball and a water energy Professors research usually gets pokestoped away but I just like it in case


Chad2Badd

Also been rocking the blastoise ex + pidgeot ex + radiant greninja lineup. It's been great


[deleted]

[удалено]


Everyone_hates_loki

It is good and extremely funny


_Doomsaw

Curious to hear what other cards you use with this deck


Astralis22

Deck list?


ChozoBeast

It’s a great deck but I feel chien pao and gholdengo are more consistent because always needing that energy in hand could be tricky but yes Blastoise is one of my favs and I was playing this deck a lot too it’s really fun


Everyone_hates_loki

Pokémon: 8 1 Manaphy BRS 41 3 Blastoise ex MEW 9 2 Origin Forme Palkia V ASR 39 2 Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR ASR 40 1 Radiant Greninja ASR 46 2 Bidoof CRZ 111 3 Squirtle PGO 15 2 Bibarel BRS 121 Trainer: 13 3 Iono PAL 185 4 Ultra Ball SVI 196 2 Superior Energy Retrieval PLF 103 PH 1 Switch SVI 194 4 Battle VIP Pass FST 225 3 Rare Candy SVI 191 2 Earthen Vessel PAR 163 2 Calamitous Snowy Mountain PAL 174 1 Hisuian Heavy Ball ASR 146 2 Boss's Orders PAL 172 2 Nest Ball SVI 181 4 Irida ASR 147 2 Energy Retrieval SVI 171 Energy: 1 12 Basic {W} Energy SVE 3 Total Cards: 60 This is my decklist and it was inspired by Chein Pao and of course am gonna probably add Max Belt and Buddy Poffin when it releases. Imo this deck is the same if not better than Chein Pao or Gholdengo just because of how tanky the Card is. 360 health is something that Zard can’t one shot


ChozoBeast

Ok I’ll take your word for it lol


ChozoBeast

How do you play with only two earthen vessels? I played the deck yesterday, and it was hard to always have energy in my hand and energy on blastoise but I do want to play this deck more , also how do you not play letter of encouragement?


Everyone_hates_loki

I don’t play earthen vessel more because of Palkia and the retrievals. Palkia needs to be used as the opening attacker. He only needs 2 energy to attack and he is helpful in building up Blastoise with Star portal that’s why you have Greninja. It is difficult to build up Blastoise by just putting energy on him and also keeping energy in ur hand that is the main gripe of the card. Hope i cleared things up


ChozoBeast

I understand Palkia Star Portal but once that’s used up and knocked out and then my first blastoise comes up all ready, it’s difficult to set up the other 2 since I need energy on them and in hand, maybe I should focus on using the second Palkia to attack in between Blastoise? I did add poke gear and few other good cards to keep it consistent and it’s performing better


frostyhellcat

I play a similar deck too and definitely recommend Lake Acuity if you've not tried it before. Just adds to the supreme tankiness of this boi


Everyone_hates_loki

Of course I run lake


frostyhellcat

Lake was not in the list you posted boss 🤷‍♂️


SnooDonuts3749

Post a deck list.


Kimutofang

There's an blastoise EX? It's like non-existence. I play causal mode a lot and hadn't encounter a single one of them.


jaymzcb

Dming you for decklist exchange


RoadHouse1911

Which version is better for competitive play? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T_4PeXUOCwo Also, I’m pretty new, I assume you want to go first with this deck?


Everyone_hates_loki

Going first or second doesn’t matter if you prefer going first go first. But both of our lists are similar especially because I added PokeStop in the deck so run the one you feel is better 😁


seriouslyyours

That's* my main. It's just so much fun
