Bastiodon

I don't know.

Some of these things in the tier list just don't make any sense, you know? Like, I think Accent's tier list had Medicham and Bastion on the garbage tier, the lowest tier.

Meanwhile, you got Arbok ahead of it in a different tier.

Like, what? No.

I think it does.

But, like, it's not, like...

The thing is, Bastion is a lot weaker now, for sure, right? It's just it still beats a lot of things just based on bulk alone, right? And Medicham, I think, is not even that bad.

Medicham is definitely better than throw.

But yeah, I...

I think Bastiodon is a very, very cool card, and I do hope it makes it on stream just because I want to see something different than Dracopult play the mirror back and forth because I've already seen that enough this season.

Will we see a Slowking Trifrost attack announced for three

prizes on stream? I'll do one better.

Like...

i i think that you could could that'd be so funny it's so hard to like tell this lie but yeah i mean there's no reason for tord not to play zoroark right he loves drawing cards he loves seeing resources he has plenty of space to do whatever he wants um i would not be surprised with tord being this long in the tooth If he didn't see a Mega Kangaskhan list and decide, this also draws me a lot of cards, and I have a lot of HP, and I can basically do whatever I want for a couple turns with or without item lock, and decided to play...

The Bastiodon list.

Or something featuring Bastiodon because Tord is so good at setting up those 1-1-1 chains in the Pidgeot, the Charizards, the Dusnores, all that stuff.

Like a correct core.

Shadow Vic, Bastiodon, Wiggles.

But in a competitive

format.

It can still technically evolve into Tortuga, which is probably the best of the fossil evolutions, in my opinion.

Maybe Bastiodon's better, but whatever.

And then...

It's just a HP cost Pokemon.

I've tried using it a few times.

It's basically a fairy version of Bastiodon.

That's what it is.

I have seen someone, an opposing person, use Probopass, and that... oh do you mean proper pass yeah it was interesting it was using like spark it had rock slide and i didn't see it fire one off but i had a strong feeling it may have learned like thunderbolt or like zap cannon in the back

All right, so Aaron and I did a Conquest Best of Nine showdown stream on twitch.tv slash the PCS podcast, I believe.

Aaron played Excadrill, Straight Pole, King, Bastiodon, the one that we talked about from the Online Series World Cup, which was really cool.

He played Tread and True, Garchomp, and Frostlass, Mega Frostlass, Monkey Dory.

And I played Sneak, just pure Sneak, Legacy Energy.

I played a one of Ace of Roller, which I thought was really cool.

um Marnie's uh Polt Ninja because we were kind of limited to like one flavor of each deck so I just kind of combined those two together um the Terra two cannon with the knockdown engine and then all of ghosts um the matchups were pretty solid not gonna lie like the first one might have been just a little unfair um game one I played Grimmsnarl versus King Bastiodon Difficult matchup because Grimmsnarl just kind of lets me put as much energy on my attackers as I want.

If like a couple hammerheads go his way, the game probably lasts a little bit longer.

But that game ended up being a W in my court.

Alolan Sandslash, as I said before, is everywhere in this meta.

I've seen one or two Bastiodon as well, as well as a, um, couple of Golisopods, some Shadow Gyarados have been going around.

Pretty diverse meta, I think, here.

Yeah.
