Articuno

Why? And we've decided to give them a connecting artwork in this set.

Why the F? Did we make Moltres 130, Lapras 131, the numbers in the set, Articuno 132, and Zapdos 133? Now, the answer here is, why, Coda? Why are they not in a row like they should freaking be? Because it makes sense.

Why not?

Because they're organized by typing.

It is.

I love Lapras.

Articuno looks like crap.

It's just fine.

Huh?

Articuno? Can you poke your epic for us? No.

Moltres, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Ho, the Regis, the Lattis, Kroger, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina, both forms, Cresselia, the Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus...

Incarnate, Tornadus Therion, Thundurus, Thundurus, Reshi, Zekrom, Lando in both forms, Kirim, Xerneas, Yvettel, Tapu, Coco, Lele, Bulu, Finny, Zacian, Zamazenta, Regieleki, Regidrago.

Go ahead, attempt a clip man.

Do you remember when I, and I wish I had done this on podcast, do you remember when I informed you of th- the naming pattern of Articuno, uh, and Mol-

Yes!

S- sh- sh- and Zapdos

And a small bowl, and then it's-

Blaze Chicken

ChickenAnd then I was just like, "Oh, it's every single..." 'Cause I thought, I thought when it was Articuno, I was like, "This is a cool convention" Mm-hmm ... it's the only convention.

It's Squirt and the word turtle.

Jason Klasinski was scared of me.

Um, but he played a, uh, a water deck with the Articuno with the Delta trait or ancient trait, um, that bodies the ever-living poop out of combis and Flareon.

So, uh, but still top 16 of my second regionals.

That was pretty cool.

I was Team Mystic when it first came out.

That was blue, right? Articuno? I was Valor.

I was red.

Okay.

No,

I was just going to say, I do remember at one point in Chattanooga on the Coolidge Park Bridge.

I think this is when Articuno, not Articuno, Ariados just came out for that battle for you to catch him.

everybody and their mother was down there i mean probably 50 plus people all trying to battle the same pokemon and i'm over here like i need like five like five feet apart too many people trying to catch the same pokemon like i remember it was me and one of my friends um shout out to you shay we were um bar hopping that night and we was like let's go down to the um coolidge park Why did we chose to do that? Don't know why, but I saw people either running, walking, going to the same spot, and I'm over here, I pull out my phone, I'm like, oh, everybody's trying to catch the same Pokemon down here, got it.

So it just completely shuts down any attack from them.

And then what else do we have in here? Oh, in this version of the list, I put the Articuno.

Yeah, Quick Shooting Inteleon, if you're looking at the screen.

I can go to that first.

Or the Articuno.

Sure.

Sorry.

Sorry.

To me, with Zam, too, is that you can tech these Rockets packages for it.

Or we've seen with another Alex Szymanski-Josh Frink deck a while back where they were playing the Rockets Kangaskhan and the Articuno, even Hide and Sneak cards now.

It's not as much of a guarantee with the answers they have, but people just playing a 1-1 Banette in a deck.

There's just so many ways that hard counter Alec Zam that I'm starting to wonder, can this deck really be... you know, the number one best deck in a format without it just getting completely countered.
