Garbodor

What ones we got?

So we've got Garbodor and Zoroark, which that bundle is sold out.

So I guess we've got a lot of black and white fans.

Garbodor is definitely a fan favorite, I think.

I think Trubbish is more of a fan favorite.

Oh, yeah.

Garbodor by default, I think.

I definitely am a Trubbish and Garbodor fan.

forever the card that was legal for a decade

Was it a decade? It was longer than Garbodor? Because Garbodor was, what, five or six years? And Mew was also roughly the same? Mew was a

long time.

It was Dragons Exalted to whatever that rotation was, probably after right around Zoro Golisopod time.

Trubbish is literally inspired by a bag of garbage.

It evolves into Garbodor and looks like a giant pile of trash that has come to life.

So have you ever heard of somebody called garbage rubbish?

No.

wait, no, I think we changed it.

We changed it for which my original character was a Garbodor, but we changed it for the sun.

Yeah, there we go.

Trubbish.

Yeah.

Gi- you should do a Garbodor eeveelution-

[laughs]

...

The tradeability, draw two cards, riotous beating.

Also heavily influenced by both of the Garbodor cards, which are also some of the most influential Pokemon TCG cards of all time.

You have the Trashlanch and the Garbotoxin.

So you've got ability lock and punishing heavy item play.

But what you find is it has just enough HP with the aggression that it's putting onto the board that it can get away with that.

So Rayquaza is swinging for one shots on turn one or two, which is a complete opposite vibe to... azuric deck you have buzzwool decks you know more traditional like buzzrock type decks which is the deck that andrew natalie and i had played at the world championship where buzzrock was an iconic deck for now years and just going really aggressive and trying to knuckle sandwich people with your buzzwool gx with the artillery engine to draw cards a classic iconic car with the abyssal hand You have, like, Golisopods or Archivariates, which I think were kind of underrated in this format.

You have the secret, like, Buzzwole Garbodor deck, which went on to dominate, like, the post-worlds format with the Trashalanch combined with Single Prize Buzzwole, amongst many other, like, cool, interesting strategies.

The tournament was ultimately won by Robin Schultz with his Zoroark Garbodor deck, which to me is one of the coolest Worlds lists maybe ever.
