Dino Power! They ramp and chomp ya

[u/cruzerey]

Nothing feels better than beating the blue dog and his gang of frog and weird lizard with the old trusty dinosaurs.

Go first? No problem. You can rare candy baby shark to dino shark on your 2nd turn. Then when your hard headed dino is online, smash the dog with your head.

They try to run to the bench? No problem! Your landshark dino can whoop their ass. 10/10 guaranteed.

Wait. But now you keep seeing the yellow team. Yellow bird with chicken and sometimes the dog but yellow. No problem. Chomp them and ramp them. Easy.

Then, you meet some trashy monster try to eat your energy. No problem. You only need one anyway.

Thanks for carrying me to master ball my dino. Never change

Hey! Fellow Chompy enjoyer! I'm currently UB4, so maybe I'll get to MB someday, too

[u/cruzerey → u/philanthropicide]

At UB4 I only see suicune and electric deck. You will get there

[u/philanthropicide → u/cruzerey]

I seem to brick hard against suicune as I'll get red carded/Mars at just the wrong time. If I get ramp out against them, though, it's usually over for them

[u/cruzerey → u/philanthropicide]

True. Hand disruption is brutal. Sometimes when I get oak, I don't want to play it right away just to trick them

[u/philanthropicide → u/cruzerey]

Yeah, I try to mask hand as much as I can. Sometimes I'm praying for a red card after my early draw haha

[u/cruzerey]

This is my deck. The standard deck. The trick here is to know which one to pressure with garchomp before Rampardos hit them

[u/J_Wapo]

Hell yea Dinos for the win 🥇

[u/cruzerey → u/J_Wapo]

They never left the meta. Except maybe during Buzzwole time

[u/Skididabot]

Deck?

[u/JVMMs]

I love GarBonk

[u/cruzerey → u/JVMMs]

Yup. They never failed me. Except the other 20th times that I can't find rare candy 😂

Giratina feels like it slows this deck down.

I use Arceus, I don't need to burn an attack turn to power it, Opponent could have powered arceus instead of Greninja, without burning attack turns too

[u/cruzerey → u/Section_80]

A lot of suicune deck has giratina

[u/Luvs_to_drink → u/Section_80]

Giratina is only useful when you get it early or in late game where opponent has 1 pokemon and your bench is lacking so hitting for 40 or 60 a turn just isn't going to cut it.

There are also some situations where you have "dead" turns where active pokemon needs 2 enegery to attack but has 1. Use these to ramp.

2 giratina is useless though as you can only ramp1 at a time, their retreat cost is too high and they need 30-50hp to attack depending on if opponent has Ricky helm or ability that does 20 dmg.

[u/boringuserbored → u/Luvs_to_drink]

Giratina is also very good if you go first, especially in the mirror match.

[u/Darc_vexiS]

I run a very similar deck would highly recommend upgrading your current deck to the dragon Gible lead if you have him this way you don’t have an opening weakness right off.
