Thanks for the clean language. Then I can share this with my nephew

My backyard is in ruins and I have no where to host bbqs now but my Pokémon skills have never been better

Hi from Melbourne AUS! Just bought my first decks today. My 7y.o. nephew introduced me - played 10 minutes with him and have been itching to go to the store and get my own cards. This was extremely helpful to me so thanks!

I find a very fun and easy way to make a deck is to buy a pre made deck and modify it to your liking. I got a team plasma deck and modified it a little bit to make it fun.

Switched from being comp yugioh player for years to Pokemon just recently, watched your whole video and genuinely learned a lot and will be picking up some of these cards for myself! Sub earned for sure 👍🏼

I just got back into collection after 20 years away from it and I never actually played the game so this has helped. Thanks 👍

I used to play all the time when I was a kid, but I stopped a while back. Finally decided to get back into it and can't believe there are pokemon with more than 200 health that also can do 200+ damage.

You forgot about winning if you are out of basic pokemon on the play area. Don't know if that was mentioned yet

Thank you so much for making this video! I just recently got into collecting tcg cards to try something new - and this video helped me understand the deck creating process much better!

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Before I had no idea what to put in my deck besides pokemon and energy

Congratulations on 1k! Very well deserved!

Great video. I just started building my own decks Been playing the pre made decks, straight up to get a hang of the games general rules. This was a big help, keep it up!

thanks that made sense! and i have all these cards (except the Dedenne GX) so i was able to build along with you and get a feel for how to apply the info to other decks

getting back into the card game for the first time since i used to play back in the first and second gen of pokémon. your videos definitely help! especially with how it’s changed and played today! thanks so much! subscribed!

just started playing again (online only) at the ripe old age of 27 so needed a refresher as its been like 20 years lol. this video helped me a lot as i didnt realise i was diluting my pokemon pool when all i wanted was to get my alakazam VMAX and mewtwo/mew tagteam. thanks, gonna go check the rest of the series out now

Great video! Very informative and easy to follow, thanks!

Clear video! I was interested to learn the card game, but I had no idea people usually have 3 or 4 of the same card, I would find a deck with one of each more fun (apart from energy's ofcourse)

Great video. Well explained!

I recently started a group that battels and this really helped me out with the idea and basic i need to know thanks so much

Great vid mate. Learned a lot :)

Thank you for all the advice your so underrated keep going your amazing

This was soooo good! Thanks for being so clear and using an example build. !

Loved the video! Thanks a lot! 🙌

Thanks for this video really informative and easy to understand, as someone who switched from yugioh to pokemon recently I had no idea where to begin when it came to deck building but now I have a much better understanding so I'm giving you a sub too dude keep up the good work

Thanks you for this man I needed it ☺️

This was a very detailed tutorial/explanation.👍

Thank you; this was super helpful!

Thanks dude, this was helpful

Thank you for teaching me this 😁😁😁

Thanks so much! I have collected cards for 5 years but now im finally starting to learn!

Great video for a beginner like myself. Thanks a lot my dude :)

Very helpful, thanks 😎

this channel is amazing, thanks!

These are so dang helpful! My first deck I've physically built is Milotic/Welder since I've done pretty good with it online, I'm just trying to figure out if I should stick to just that one deck or try to make a second one once darkness ablaze drops. I've been trying to avoid splurging on the fancy Vmaxes/Tag teams to save money, but I have a good feeling that crobat V is probably an inevitable investment from what I hear lol. Really enjoying these vids, keep up the great work!

Love the GT shirt! I bought one when Matt sold those a few years back too!

I love this I'm learning the ways of the tcg game and I'm loving it lol

This is the best information for pokemon

This is really helpful I made my own deck with your advice

100K VIEWS HOLY! Huge milestone brother good stuff

I'm a new Pokémon TCG player and I recently found your podcast, Metapod (which is absolutely fantastic, I listen to it religiously during my commute) and both you and Jake have been such amazing resources. I enjoy your easy-to-understand discussions about the meta, even for a new player like me, and I'm convinced you guys are good luck. The same day I listened to an episode where you discussed the Leon card, I pulled his full art version from Target when I grabbed a pack on a whim. I also really appreciate that you guys don't shy away from difficult topics, such as misogyny in the Pokémon community. It makes me feel welcomed as a female player.

This really helps a lot I remember playing with my boyfriend but we stopped and I’m trying to get back into it! I used to run a gardevoir/Sylveon gx deck with the Mudkip lineup I forgot why I did that but thanks again this helps

Nice congrats on 1k 🎉😀🎉

iv been play for 2 days and this was perfect, thanks man, iv learned most of the basics and this helps for long term for ideas....me and my 8 year old are learning together so thanks... Whats so cracy is i still remember in the 7th grade when pokemon came out and thinking , yeah ill prob never play that,,,lol 25 years later im building a deck

Hey, just recently got back into playing with a friend who’s new. Really helpful and I’m sending him here too!

I thought at first that this would be a bad guide for me because I don’t have many good cards but you put a great tutorial on what to do not necessarily requiring those cards

Ive been collecting since 1st edition but ive been dying to learn to play. This helped me a lot. I didn't know anything. I wanna try to make a deck with the new darkness ablaze when it comes out. Thanks! Looking forward to more videos.

Hey ur video was very helpful so thank u for this

Great video! I will stick to my noob skills for now and play theme decks while I figure this out.

4:42 There was a Wailord GX deck that was OP at a sun and moon prerelease, cant remember what set though.

dang, about time. This helped a LOT! I was the guy that only knew theme decks lol thanks for the video! subbed!

Nice vid dude

Thank you!

Love your vids especially the intro!

No slur, clear point, God I am thankful I can share this with my little cousin

Nice video!

Very Good Video, thanks and greetings from Germany😊👍🏻

hew man thank you so much for the info really thankful you really know your stuff when did you start playing

This dude makes good content, you deserve more subscribers this really helped me as a beginner in the pokemon tcg

You deserve many subs

You have a face for radio… I’m just kidding I started listening to the podcast about a week ago started from the first video, had to come check out the channel! I’ve been a couple decks but I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right, what better way than to start from the basic!

Whew I was here before 1k nice to see you grow congrats

38 year old dad and my son, who is soon to be 7, just got into pokemon so this is awesome!

My wife and i are looking to get into this.I played pokemon competitively but never the tcg.We both have the online client and we've been playing online for two weeks.We even bought some online codes for decks and booster packs.

This is a very good video

Hey Sean, I wonder if you have anything thoughts on how deck building in Pokemon compares with other TCGs. It feels like the core set of staples in Pokemon is very small, and it really limits creativity in deck building. Things like Metal Saucer and Welder are a step in the right direction. I'd like to see more unique archetype support and more unique basics (one-prizers specifically) to add some variety. Look at the Butterfree line from Rebel Clash. As much as I hate playing against it, the rapid evolution abilities and the Panic Poison attack make for a viable strategy to build a deck around. Or Spiritomb! That's a really unique mechanic that made a bunch of other niche cards relevant. I'd love to see more of that in the game, especially considering how many unique Pokemon there are now.

There is extremely little that 230 doesn't knock out. Just tag team and v max actually. Thats a 1 shot on all other gx and V that come to mind before weakness and if they have specific tools or abilities that might push their hp just above that threshold.

I’m currently trying to build a good mill deck myself right now so I would find it very helpful for a mill deck video in the future

3:05 This now applies to Radiant Pokémon.

This video helped so much now I think I can build something lol

Nice vid

omg it makes me so sad to see a amazing youtuber not get the clout :(

Man... I was excited to get my secret rare metal saucer lol. My guy got 4 of em haha 😂

I was building and playing games with my son. I sadly did not process that support and items were different very quickly and we were playing wildly inefficient for about a week. I would be interested in a deck tech about a mill deck, just to understand how that works when you are limited by single attack and trainer cards to make that strategy work.

Thanks for this! I'm a new player in the pokemon tcg online, I don't have many new cards yet and I don't dare to step on standard until I get some cards like the ones you show in the video, but I had no idea how to build a good deck, the game has a good tutorial to teach you how to play but there is nothing when it comes to building decks. I can't buy official cards to speed things up either, cause I'm poor :_: , but little by little I hope I can build something decent :P

4 gold metal saucers and 4 gold quick balls and 2 other gold trainers? How did you get all those? Wow

Starting out and it looks confusing hahah, gotta get those trainer cards :)

Hey man weird situation. I have an old Overgrowth Deck from 1999 unopened. Anyway, all the decks I can find like this have WOCO6058 at the bottom. Mine, however, has WOCO6018. I posted mine on Ebay and it defaulted to the 6058 but that's technically incorrect. Wondering if you know if there is any difference or if there will be a problem with that. Thank you!

Hi, I've been playing PTCGO for a month now, mostly fighting versus with theme decks; But I'm finally ready to invest and start fighting in standard. Can you give advice on which boosters to pull/buy in order to get cards that are strong in the current meta? Thanks

I faced this same deck the first and only game I played of standard in the online game, there was literally not a single thing in my entire deck that could do anything about any of it. So I went back to theme feeling like standard was just too pay2win for me to have any chance at winning without farming all the best cards in the game first.

good man

Hi amazing vid

Question if I add victini v would it help out my pikarom since I don’t have the boltund

TY TY

Have you thought of making a Post rotation Fire box?

What if i have like 3 normal vulpixs and 2 alolan vulpix can I play those?

whats the best way to get a lot of cards to start building decks? just buying single packs and hoping you get what you need?

Really new to Pokemon tcg and I have a question about evolving a pokemon. say I have a basic charmander from sword and shield rebel clash, could I evolve it to a stage 1 chameleon from darkness ablaze? Also could I use a basic pokemon from say sun &moon and evolve it to a stage 1 sword & shield?

Can I use GX and VSTAR abilities Both during one match?

So if everyone builds a deck around the best meta cards, all the decks would kinda look the same?

Are there any other cards I can use other than ZacianV?

23:34 for all the finished cards

Heres a question sir from a new player. Why are the ground type and fighting type classified as the same for energy?

This is an EPIC DECK! in the en i was Shouting 3 Hau n t of the guy who draws 2 +2 via RPS... Or mooe Balls.

In the game Waxman is fairy, but in the FCC its steel?

Do i have to specifically use these cards? Like can i use alternate cards that still havethe same value?

Are there any particular ace pokemon that you'd recommend? I'm thinking some sort of pseudo legendary, but I haven't decided yet

I have a chinchou card but my cards are all kind of old and the place where it says the hp and typing is gone ik chinchou is a water and electric type but i forgot the hp ;w;

Can we use these deck to play in versus

so I've built a thousand decks before to see how others build decks. I've been playing for 9 years and this is very trustworthy. Please listen to him he knows what he's doing. I'm saying this because some people scam others by saying terrible tips and claiming they're good.

Can I have more than 4 of the same trainer cards in my deck?
