I get sick and tired of reading think pieces about the great game of Pokémon. There’s only so many times that I can read “Zoroark is good” before my brain turns off and I drift into a cardboard-induced coma. That is why, in my great wisdom, I have decided to apply my extensive knowledge of the Pokémon TCG towards the more banal aspects of the game, and what better way to switch off your mind than to read a Top 5 list that means absolutely nothing.

Hey guys, my name is Jeremy, and I’m a competitive player from Sydney! I want my first article for this site to outline the ways that you can beat Reshiram & Charizard-GX – probably the most highly anticipated deck going in to Sydney Regionals. With the release of strong Fire-type support such as Welder, Fire Crystal, Volcanion and even the recent Fiery Flint, Reshiram & Charizard GX is a power behemoth.
Below, I have outlined some techs you can include in your deck and different approaches you can take to defeat Reshiram & Charizard GX.

Naganadel-Quagsire (NagaQuag) has picked up steam towards the second half of the SM-TEU format, culminating in Ross Cawthon’s top 16 placement at Denver Regionals in April (list can be found here). It also appears to be well placed within the upcoming Unbroken Bonds standard metagame, with the ability to attack for large numbers on a single-prized body, especially when facing the incredibly hyped Reshiram & Charizard GX Tag Team.

Granbull has always been the underdog.
From its roots as a fringe single prize attacking archetype from Japan, Granbull has always been chasing the dream of one day winning first place at a major tournament. While the meta it was originally designed to counter is long gone; Unbroken Bonds offers a new hope for our best dog in format.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokémon! My name is Professor Paul, and today we will be discussing some potential rulings to be aware of with the release of the newest TCG set, Unbroken Bonds. While reading the upcoming content, please keep in mind that some of these cards have yet to receive official English rulings but have received rulings in Japan, and as such the content will be discussed using the Japanese rulings available as a base.

As we approach the new format, I expect an influx of content regarding new decks and the prospective meta. Rather than add to this, I decided to stray from the norm and write about a few rather niche uses for possibly my favourite card in the format: Distortion Door Giratina (LOT 97) . More specifically, I’ll be talking about the use of Giratina in Zoroark/Lycanroc. Unlike in Malamar, Giratina finds its place in ZoroRoc entirely for the use of Distortion Door.

- Reshiram & Charizard GX
Reshiram & Charizard GX is the poster child of Unbroken Bonds. And for good reason. This card can deal crazy amounts of damage on the first turn of the game. The card that allows this to happen is Welder, which lets players attach two fire energy cards from hand to one Pokémon and draw three cards.
