Can't do any tests because of that 😂. I want to play it IRL so bad.

Infernape's ability to let you attach a fire and a fighting energy in one turn. It's really good with koridon EX

That first match was pretty bonkers, hell of a follow through

That Palafin EX whiffed so hard at the end lol

I think the Iono play really helped.

I actually really like infernapes energy ability. I think instead of running radiant charizard id run grennija instead. It can accelerate energy like gardy can but in a different way. I would try running it with cornerstone ogerpon and okidogi. Maybe something like dark patch to equip the dark energy from discard. If you want a radiant charizard replacement throw in a blood moon ursaluna.

This is a great suggestion. Thanks

I definitely attempted this combo at prerelease. Sadly I never did it successfully when I had the cards in question. Also, I think I saw one other person make a deck with it before this video but all I can recall from it is that it was only single prizers.

My guyyy!!!!! You made it 😂 awesome! 💪🏽

What if...

Palafin didnt whiff anything. He already had retreated that turn. He needed to draw into a switch AND water energy and Palafin decks dont run switches usually. You got blessed lol

Wait this is kind of cool honestly

Thanks. Could be better though I think.

I think a better way to play the infernape would be more like bax+pao using temporal forces groudon as the main attacker. Try and set up 2 apes and load up 4-5 energies every turn

but what was that palafin deck. im curious.

Charizard ex from the 151 set is pleased with this. Not longer is it magma basin and armorouge.

ive got ALOT of dark energies waiting for the deck that doesnt have the word "box" in it.

I'm sad that boomerang energy doesn't seem to be better. It's a really cool effect but mons that discard energy either discard too many for manual attachment (greninja ex) or just die in one hit (like infernape here), making the investment not worth it. I don't want Lugia to be any better but it's funny that not even Lugia runs it.

I'll have to agree with you on that one, unfortunately

Cleffa and Rotom for draw support only works if you have pidgeot ex for the sustain tho. Also, why aren't you playing any tm evos?

It's difficult to have all the cards you want sometimes because the deck is already tight. Otherwise you start sacrificing consistency.

Infernape + raging bolt + dragon type koraidon ex = pretty decent hard hitting deck

@mralkholik9957

yeah but raging bolt doest have a hard time hitting infernape's and Koraidon's damage and the energy you have to add to make those two work with bolt is debilitating

And they do stack. So if you have the energy you can attach 2 fire and 2 fighting. Maybe use energy retrieval to get your energy back

Yes, but from the discard pile.

Kinda crazy that ptcg is so happy with non-ex stage 2s being trash for so many years apart from as bench warmers.. they need to get HP that justifies the evolutions because anything under a basic ex is not really worth evolving to and using as an attacker shrug

This current set definitely doesn't help but it's nice to see something tried with them. Look at rillaboom and alakazam, for example. Alakazam has potential for a sweep and rillaboom is probably the one pokemon that can get past cornerstone ogerpon in a festival deck. The other single prize stage 2s seem to have decent 1st attacks but their niche is already fulfilled by arguably better cards.

@pipdev8636

@@evanchismark3092 tbh I thought alakazam didn’t seem that usable (and can’t really be called an attacker, seems like it would only participate once a game while someone else would have to do all the work) and Rillaboom only exists because the Thwackey is great. But again I don’t think it’s because they have bad attacks, it’s that they are all considered absolute child’s play to ohko by every deck above like.. tier 3 so they are never reliable when they have to go into the active slot consistently. No deck can do this with single prize stage 2s and I think it’s a design flaw

Could you use Monkidori to remove damage off Infernape?
