Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

@totalanimefan: Mewtwo only goes so far for me. I get out-DPS'd if I fight Sierra with it, seeing as she starts with Sneasel. Same with Giovanni, who starts with Persian, and can have dark-type attacks.

I've found my Melmetal with Thundershock and Thunderbolt/Rockslide REALLY puts in work against the rockets.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

@totalanimefan: Hmmm, that's a good point. Lucario with Power-up Punch could be really devastating. I managed this month's Giovanni with my Melmetal and Tyranitar, though.

@totalanimefan: TTar's are amazing fighters. The rock/dark attacks work surprisingly well for a lot of situations.

And yeah, maybe powering up your Lucario might be a good idea.

@Totalanimefan: That's true, definitely have to be careful of cars. I'd probably travel a bit to get to a good spot where I can ride, otherwise I live on this pretty hill-y road and I know personally that it's hard to see them sometimes because I drive it and I don't always see the bikers right away.

@Colin: Yeah the original list I had for Tergrid had both FBM and Plaguecrafter which is a little better but I took both of them out in favor of other things. When my deck has stuff like Smokestack, Obliterator, Vona's Hunger, ect, both feel very underwhelming. Usually in my list you sac like a Bitterblossom token or Dreadhorde Invasion token to the FBM or Plaguecrafter to get kind of a "beater" out of it, but I don't really care for that play.

Also, holy crap is Ophiomancer a strong card in this deck. Since you basically become Arch Enemy from the moment you pull Tergrid out, having a recurrent Deathtouch blocker on every Upkeep if you don't have one is super good.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, unless they live on a road like me where there's bikers all the time I doubt most people think about it regularly. That's a tall bike though! :O

@Totalanimefan: True! Definitely a good thing! :D

@totalanimefan: True, TTar has fallen a little since it first came out. Still, it's as solid a Pokemon as ever. Also, fair play on the Power-Up Punch and Shadow Ball combo. Its typing would probably help in resisting a lot, and isn't the Punch a 3-bar move, so it's online super-quick?

@sorrowthemad: Smokestack can be a real game breaker. I do like how putting a soot counter on it is a 'may' effect, so you can stop when you're at a number that you're comfortable with.

@totalanimefan: A team of perfects would be just amazing, not gonna lie.

And huh, maybe I should give my own Lucario some attention. Or maybe wait for a better one. It's an 85% or so, I think?
