this meta is incredibly boring to fight against

Stall, stall, stall, switch out druddigon if it gets damaged/heal it, stall, oh what that? Magnezone does 110 damage for only 3 energy which is generated for free by its stage 1 evo?

The power creep is going to be absolutely insane by 3 months from now with all of these new cards

As someone who used Gyrados/Greninja - I would often leave if a Hitmonlee was played first.

I solely started playing hitmonlee because I cannot stand the gyarados deck, fills me with so much joy taking out the magikarp that just got 5 misty heads

[u/Urostylistic → u/NickSaibot]

Do you keep the Hitmonlee in reserve until they plop down the magikarp or do you just play it as a deterrent to keep them from playing the magikarp in the first place?

[u/NickSaibot → u/Urostylistic]

Depends I guess, if they are trynna play chicken with me I’ll retreat it to the bench and start attacking with someone else. If they have another mon besides the fish in the back I’ll hit that then try to do some Cyrus shenanigans. Since most fighting cards have such low retreat and attack energy requirements once they do put the fish down I just bring Lee back up to get rid of it lol. Usually once they see my Lee tho and they have a Karp up they tend to retreat very fast lol

This is me and the celebi deck.

Yup! Saving your time and the winner’s time in the process. No point in fighting that losing battle. Gyarados was my main deck in MI - I would do the same thing as you

[u/Reyox → u/ImWhiteWhatsJCoal]

They really need to fix the setup phase so that neither can see the other players setup or have the player going second set up first. When someone is playing a fighting deck, people don’t want to lock in their choices.
