Top 4 at Johnny B's with JetPult

The Jet energy was useless, the Klefki did help vs Bolt.

+0 points +50$

Deck is super solid

It's been awhile since I've done a card combo post. But I was looking through grass types to pair with Forest of Vitality and Gloom to Vileplume seems like a fun way to ramp any color energy. You'd get to look at Top 3 and ALSO Top 8 in a turn with this.

Top 4 at the Gem Mint Challenge today. Rocked up with Zard in Blue FCBC sleeves. Ended 3-1 with my 1 loss being to Bolt with Godawful prizing.

Deck is definitely fun, but as is any evolution deck, it can lose to hard bricks or bad prizes.

+10 Points

Precious Trolley I think is the overall best ace spec for this current format. (Obviously not for every deck. But overall)

So many decks want a full boardstate of specific mons as early as possible.

Solrock lunatone engines, mega kanga boardstates, even bouffalant decks are coming back.

39 Players at Locals tonight, congrats to our Top 8 Players.

My Hot Take about the Gold Cards from Mega Evolution
October 7, 2025 at 6:23 AM
3-3 Drop, honestly deck is really good, but I'm so tilted at my last 2 games.

Round 5 vs Slowbro I Iono'd them to 2 and I win on the next turn, and they manage to go night stretcher psychic, xatu, draw into slowking and night stretcher for Kyurem to academy for game.

3-1-1 with Poison Planes for Top 8. Deck is super fun. Counter catcher came up once but I think I'm cutting it for an Iron Bundle.

I might cut 3rd night stretcher for 2nd Ho-oh or an eswitch

Deck still needs some work but is so much fun to play!
October 3, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Poison Planes is super fun.

And the best part is. It's not a donk deck.

Although you have the pecha + bonnet package, it's correct to go 2nd for the trolley settup cause it close to guarantees that you can either KO active with poison + strafe. Or nuke the active with the 2nd attack.

33 Players at locals tonight

Will Topped but had to leave early so I edited him into Top 8

2-3 Drop tonight, but we did figure out that Precious Trolley seems to be the move for this deck.

Deck initially ◀️
Deck after ▶️

Precious Trolley Lucario sets up SO WELL, I wish I played it tonight instead of max belt, lol.

Deck still needs refinement, but has potential.
