can you share a card list please?

Gardevoir is one of the harder decks to play! It may take some time to get a feel for it and even then it simply may not very the right fit for your play style, but it’s certainly a deck worth fighting for 💪

That entire match was full of misplays, I was cringing so hard, and I'm new to the tcg as well, that is how obvious it was.

Thanks for watching the vids! Just because I didn’t use Munkidori much isn’t necessarily indicative of its overall value. I only have a finite amount of time to get match footage for each video and it’s not uncommon for me to not be able to showcase everything a deck can do in that time. If I were to finesse videos to showcase everything a deck could do based on matches with random opponents online, it would take forever to make anything. That said, yes, Munkidori is a big deal for Gardevoir. It is now a staple of the deck and literally every instance of Gardevoir on Limitless tournaments has Munkidori and likely will until at least Shrouded Fable releases. play.limitlesstcg.com/decks/gardevoir-ex-sv?format=standard&rotation=2023&set=TWM There are multiple reasons why Munkidori is preferred over Damage Pump: - Munkidori can move damage on multiple turns while Damage Pump only moves damage once per item. - Munkidori moves damage from your Pokemon to their Pokemon, vs. Damage Pump moving damage between your Pokemon. Beyond adjusting the damage threshold of your Pokemon, you can actually move damage to your opponent’s active or bench to then soften it up for the immediate attack or a future attack. As an example, Munkidori can move damage from Drifloon to Teal Mask Ogerpon, dropping Ogerpon’s HP to 180 and now making it a 1-hit KO for Drifloon on the next turn without Bravery Charm or other HP modifier. You’re free to build your Gardevoir deck however you like. But based on the reasons above and current tournament results, Munkidori is the preferred way to play for most. As for Prime Catcher, referring to the Limitless data, no one is running that in Gardevoir right now. Almost everyone runs Unfair Stamp and a few run Hyper Aroma. The reason no one runs Prime Catcher is that Counter Catcher is sufficient as an item-based gusting option, especially since Gardevoir likes to play from behind. Relying on Counter Catcher for item-based gusting frees up the Ace Spec spot for Unfair Stamp, which is a better Roxanne that can be played at any point after a knockout and doesn’t use your supporter for turn. That’s where things have landed at the moment. If you truly feel you’ve got the sauce though, show us how it’s done! Decks change all the time and maybe you’ve found something the community has missed.

​@@InThirdPerson I always like your positive attitude. Even when teaching, you always keep it open like a dialog, and never make people feel small. Thanks for the excellent teaching style (and entertainment!). 😄👍

I recently started playing Gardevoir too, and I believe it's because Trainer cards can only be used once per turn and it makes conflict with other Trainers like Arven or Iono, while Item cards can be used whenever you want no matter the type.

@@UziOmega oh that makes so much sense idk how I missed that lol thank you!

Counter Catcher being an item gives you the flexibility to gust and play another supporter during the same turn. Furthermore, because it’s a stage 2 deck that is inherently slower to set up, you’re most likely going to start the game from behind. This leads perfectly into using Counter Catcher as your primary gusting card. I still like to run 1 Boss in case I’m tied or ahead on prizes, but I’m not surprised to hear some players only use Counter Catcher in Gardevoir for the above reasons.

@@InThirdPerson awesome looks like I’ll be switching in some counter catchers I just pulled! Thanks for the reply!

is a bit slower since the opponent can get 2 attacks off before you get to gardy, but can open up more plays like using arven or another support more offensively and if you manage to stabilize, it can be good, personally tho I think secret box is better in case you get something like arven and 3 energy in hand, or "useless" mons for the matchup, like mimikyu against ancient box, secret box could help more like teching temple of sinnoh for lugia or getting town store to remove jamming tower

Mimikyu's attack drops damage counters. Not damage. Those are two different things and one of the weird quirks of the Pokemon Trading Card Game to keep tabs on. Damage and Damage Counters are technically two different ways of inflicting damage. Cornerstone Ogerpon only blocks damage.

@@InThirdPerson that makes sense now thanks for your help😃

Absolutely buy singles over trying to pull these cards from packs. It’s will always be the most cost-efficient way of getting the cards you need for decks.

Buy singles sir it’s much cost efficient

@@christianco2135this is the way

obv better if people switched to it

I think people like it because it helps enable the opportunity to use a different ace spec than hero's cape. Damage pump can enable you to hit for 360dm with Drifloon and bravery charm too. Idk why I don't see that in more lists, I've had success with it.

You had munkidori in hand with arven and 2 bench spaces

Thank you! And yes, I am Filipino. However, I was born and raised in Canada and have only been to the Philippines once many, many years ago. Maybe someday I’ll go back with the whole family with me.

@@InThirdPerson It's nice to know that you are kababayan i will keep watching your stream bro more power and be safe and your family godbless

I run 2 Drifloon and Heavy Ball to minimize the impact of prizing Drifloon. Some players only run 1 Drifloon and I simply refuse to do that. If you prize both, try and take prizes with your other attackers to get those Drifloon back!

@@InThirdPerson Oh, smart! Thanks for the tips 🙂👍

Gardevoir is incredibly strong in this format. However, it’s projected to slip in the power rankings in a few weeks once Shrouded Fable comes out.

what does this question mean?

It was not my finest hour.
