Special Conditions 207: Grinding the Pokémon TCG Meta
Lane is back on Special Conditions, and apparently he’s been doing nothing but grinding Pokémon TCG tournaments.
This week we’re talking about what people are actually playing right now, from Festival Lead and Mega Lucario to Excadrill, Empoleon, Basic Box, Mega Camerupt, Sharpedo and plenty of other decks showing up online and at locals.
Lane breaks down his recent online tournament runs, why he’s been using them to get back into competitive play, and some of the weird decks he’s encountered along the way. We also talk about which cards from the 30th Anniversary set might actually see play, the current state of organized play, and somehow end up talking about Pokémon LEGO too.
Basically, the meta is wide open and we could have kept talking about decks for another five hours.
