    The crazy thing about Alakazam being able to attack from the bench is that this could easily get WAY better in the future from completely seemingly unrelated cards coming out

  • @ultimatedra
    @ultimatedra Před 9 měsíci +37

    I remember as a kid playing Neo Genesis Elekid to "attack" from the bench, even though it was a Pokémon Power and not an actual attack. I thought it was amazing because it was a potential free out if I didn't have enough energy to attack with my active.

    • @DKong1026
      @DKong1026 Před 9 měsíci +1

      I found it kinda weird, because if you want to stick something in the active and block it with Snorlax, then there is usually no point in attacking it with Alakazam.

    • @johnathansilva2823

      Its powerful.

    Im in Japan so we have had this set for a while, and Ive only played against this deck once. I lost to it because I completely forgot it could mind jack and knock out my Chien Pao for game at the end lol. Watching you completely shut down lost box was awesome though haha. We just got the Raging Surf set here today, so hopefully the new Jirachi slows down lost decks a bit.

    excited to see if comboing this with unown vstar and supereffective glasses or the new kabutops isnt too convoluted. this mimikyu/klefki combo is a lot more effective than i thought it would be. hitting for 480 from the bench every turn sounds pretty fun but even 360 would pretty much ohko everything

  • @Nagrom92
    @Nagrom92 Před 9 měsíci

    There was a Hypno that could attack from the bench, I think it was the second Hypno ever printed right after the Fossil set. It had the Poképower Pupet Master, this Pokémon could use his attack from the bench as long as a Clefairy Doll was on the active spot and Hypno had the energy attached.

    • @blu3cheesecake978
      @blu3cheesecake978 Před 9 měsíci

      Because Jynx only negates prizes when KOd by Pokemon-V, the Pokemon-ex in format can swing through it (and single prizers), so Mimikyu is just a more versatile option. That, and Mimikyu's walling means you don't have to recover them turn by turn, where Jynx would need a lot of recovery

    @Znernicus Před 9 měsíci

    something funny about this deck, if you're in a mirror match at first I thought Mimikyus up front on both sides just block the damage and it's a stalemate, but actually attacking with klefki would cancel the opponent's mimikyu's Safeguard and allow the bench attack to go thru... weird stuff

Apologies for all the words this stuff is just really interesting to me anybody feel free to correct me (one last thing, the ability does NOT apply to the zapdos ex's bench damage)
