The bad:
You cannot OhKO a charizard ex except with Dusknoir.
Tera pokemon cannot be damaged by Greninjas second attack if they are benched.
Fuecoco only exists with 80 and 90 hp, so no poffin for easy access and you are somewhat reliant on skeledirge

The good:
The way I play it with Skeledirge, you can get KOs up to 320HP, so you can KO a Dragapult ex with Greninja but more often you will only have one skeledirge out for support
You can get up to 2 cards that you need each turn from your deck, Pidgeot ex for during the turn and greninja for next

The locals:
Today I went 1/2, had bad luck in one game and was outclassed in the other, sadly the second Greninja was really necessary to be played and did cost me a win or the other
The last game i had a bye cause we were an uneven number of players.

Plqyed Greninja ex today at locals, first off I am lacking one Greninja ex in this picture, an order arrived too late for the tourney and I borrowed my only other deck away for someone, but here in the comments i will leave my review and how I find the deck

I want to get into the digimon tcg, any of you playing it online cause I'd love to play some and get a feel for the game

Sum up

A pretty meh tourney from my side

I like scicor in the deck but dusknoir is simply better at least where I play.

I had 1 really great matchup with ogerpon/Hydrapple
1 meh matchup with roaring Moon ex
And 1 abbysmal matchup with ninetails (the charizard was ok, mainly the fire weakness)

Final match of game 3

I started of with 3 mulligans, cause of course i do. I got a semi good hand with a greninja in the active and through the game my gimmis where either sniped or I did not have enough energy in hand to KO with gholdengo.
Importantly my togepi was sniped which cost me the game

Match 2 (game 3)

Having learned and remembered I took out the ChiYus first to get a strong lead which got some help by my enemy not drawing any evolutions for his pokemon and after only 3 knock outs we went to a game 3.

Match 1 (game 3)
I got off to a strong start but threw my lead away, KOing into a ChiYu which had enough to ko my gholdengo back.
After the loss I only could recover through a togekiss but that was sniped in the crucial turn and I lost game 1.

Match 3 (game 2)
I only got basics and my gimmighouls were ko'ed before I could evolve them
Entering extra turns it was fix that it was a draw but i really did not deserve that
I had 4 gholdengos on my hand but no gimmis to play them onto

Match 2 (game 2)

I got off to a similarly good start, if not better while my opponent had a bit of a slower start to the game. After turn 2 I had a full board of 2 gholdengos and a scicor and at that point the game was sailing steady to a win

Match 1 (game 2)

It was a pretty even game, the premise of the matchup was basically, whoever starts the knock outs wins, I started them, but lost steam midway through before getting it again.
It was however the time needed for my opponent to get ahead and get game 1.

Judge call intermission

I asked the judge after the game about the match 1 dilemma. He told us that I could have just mixed them into my deck again as it was a disadvantage for me and was not caused by my opponent.

Match 3

I bricked badly, but my opponent had a pokemon in the active that only helped him draw and he kept it there for too long, until I had a board built myself.
Taking knockouts we enter overtime when I see that I had a win at hand, deciding to knock out my scicor instead of gholdengo I win

Match 2

It qent pretty similarly to the match before but thanks to togekiss I pulled ahead even further.
We were on the same exact prizes remaining when I hit a one prizer with heads on the coinflip a d got my remaining two prizes thanks to togekiss.

Match 1

I went off hard but so did my opponent, getting knockouts as early as turn 2, but through resistance and boss' orders I am ahead 2 prizes remaining to 4 when looking through my deck with a nestball I noticed that 5 cards are next to my deck.
Me and my opponent settled ona game loss for me

What did I play against in these locals?

Game 1: Ogerpon ex and Hydrapple ex
2-1 win (cause of a game loss given by cards not in deck)

Game 2: Roaring Moon ex
1-1 draw

Game 3: Ninetails ex and Charizard ex
1-2 loss

More to the games in the comments

The deck I played in todays locals charity event (standard).
I went 1-1-1 which could have been a 1-2-0 if the time would have been longer.

I posted the last two picks so you can check with my other deck for the changes
Mainly scicor and a nestball.

No worries, wanted to wait with it to get in a tourney with both versions, but I forgot to note the stuff down in my book so i can only recall what happened from my memory

Conclusion, I think my hardest matchup, deckwise, was in game 1, charizard just really is difficult for me to play, but it's not a matchup I fear too much

Tsareena and froslass is .annoying but that's it, my deck usually drives over it.

Lugia is a better matchup for me but I drew like ... yeah

Match 2 (game 3)
I bricked once more, this time even harder, but I went to risk it trying to set up for the next turn but was met with a ko on ym only pokemon which ended my game, had i played safer this wouldn't have happened but who knows what else had happened, maybe a third brick hehe.

Match 1 (game 3)
I bricked hard, but played. As my opponent set up his board I get scared not having drawn a single gimmighoul in 4 turns or a way to get one out. Agter 6 turns I have a gholdengo on board but it was a bit too late.

Match 2 (game 2)
I got off to a fast start having danced around the tsareena with a professor turo which I set up with a cyphermaniac the turn before.
My opponent did not get a tsareena out again with enough energies to attack and once she did, I had a swap prepared.

Match 1 (game 2)
Enemy bricked into only having 1 basic, choosing to get an evolution pokemon, not knowing I had KO on my hand and losing that way

Match 3:
Devolced into a slap down battle as we both bricked majorly, after 5 turns I set up my Iron Bundle to take a KO on his only pokemon, yes 5 turns and no other basics or a candy in zard, ut I was no better having not gotten a single gimmighoul.
But a win is a win

Match 2:
Having had a slow stsrt I was happy that my opponent too had a slower start. But his threats hit the mat earlier than mine and i couldn't get wind into my sails but clawed the game to a close lose

Match 1
Enemy mulliganed to give me a Lumineon in opening hand.
Got out two gimmis and duskull.
Both didn't get a good turn 1 but got a dounle evolve off cause of cyphermaniac.
Lost lumineon to a double ko turn but set up a ko on charizard after which the steam was gone.

Going into my games, I took some notes so I can tell you about them

A bit info about thrm
Game 1: Charizard Ex
2-1 for me

Game 2: Froslass and Tsareena ex
2-0 for me

Game 3: Lugia VStar
0-2 for opponent

#pokemon #pokemontcg #ptcg #gholdengo

My Gholdengo ex deck from the 9th december at my locals (expanded).

I went 2-1-0, was the only player without a draw in the last game but luck had other plans.

Personally I feel Gholdengo is pretty strong right now, I personally feel like there is only 1 or 2 decks actively stomping it.

All in all I find your proposed changes nice in some spots, but generally speaking I feel more comfortable with the professors research cause I get to look at 2 more cards.

The ability pafume is a great change, cause a person at the tourney I waa at threw stall at my head with mimikyu of course ._.
