Thoughts on the new Wailord ex? 380hp on a 2-prizer is obviously nothing to scoff at. Using a combination of Misty's Energy as well as the new special water energy to do 270 damage and NOT fall asleep seems pretty great. Whiffing the Misty's Energy is definitely a risk but I still feel like this card has potential.

Is Pult dominant because it's too strong, or is it because other decks are too inconsistent and volatile? My discontent this format is mostly due to just how frustrating some decks are to play. They often feel like they lose to themselves, rather than getting outplayed, due to poor consistency from not drawing what they need (like team rockets Mewtwo having difficulty finding special energies, starmie, ) or they have really weird matchup spreads (Alakazam not being able to do anything into TRM2 or Zoro/Chomp when grass decks are also popular, Lopunny into Chomp/Luc).

One of the things I miss the most is on-field, in-engine consistency pieces, Drakolak being the shining example. Be it draw power like Lak/Gold, energy fixing like Garde, searching like Pigeot/Miraidon, being rewarded for, and assisted on the way towards, an "ideal" board felt so nice. The dundun engine feels really good in some decks, like Lopunny where there's decent synergy, but otherwise feels like a band-aid to a bigger problem. Obviously we have a couple others (N's Zoroark, Gabite, Kang, Thwackey, Lunatone, Zam), but they really suffer from the volatile match-up spreads unlike Pult, which is another issue with the format I really dislike.

tldr; I want more decks designed like Pult rather than a Pult "nerf"/waiting for it to rotate out and having future formats follow the current game design approach.

I'd also love some input on the deck I cooked up using the new cards. Do any of you recommend any changes?

I am pretty disappointed that ogerpon box only uses 2 of his masks and not a single ogre's mask card, i understand the cornerstone is only viable in certain matchups and the hearthflame is just not that good but i can definitely see the potiential the moment any of the ogerpons survive an attack and it jumps in with wrathful heart, i would appreciate any attempt to help me make a deck, doesnt have to be meta defining but at least viable and can reach master league with it

I saw one of the biggest video game streamers Charlie playing with a default Dragapult deck 😂. Can a pro please get in contact with him and give him the good decks, or collab with him. it would help this game grow ❤️ (yes I know it’s prob impossible getting in touch with him, but a boy can dream 🙏)

Went on to a 16-win streak before losing once. As the saying goes, winner winner Pult dinner.

Do you guys think they intentionally thought of Slowking and gave it a 300 dmg attack? Or do you think this wording slipped by Q/A?

Patrik Räty placed 9th at the recent Los Angeles Regional. My question is: what do you think about his 60? I’ve tried it on Live, but there are some card choices I don’t understand. It feels strange to play without Archer, and I end up preferring the “standard” version of the deck. Am I misunderstanding the deck?
