Live Streaming the shiny hunting bot I've been doing. Added Ruby and Sapphire to the bot so I can hunt multiple things!

Just got a shiny Seedot running the 40Cakes Emerald Shiny Bot.

For those that don't know, Seedot is a 1% Encounter in Emerald, so getting it as a full odds shiny (1/8192) is extremely rare!

The year is 2021. There's a virus we dont really know much about and people are playing Dragapult with Hammers.

Every other matchup is pretty good for you. You out trade Slop Box, Lucario, Raging Bolt, etc. Alakazam is just so fucking good. 🔮🥄

Just hit Arceus League back to back with the Broken Alakazam list

Shoutout to the homies who helped me with how to navigate all of the matchups.

I may not compete really anymore, but I always like to stay sharp just in case I go on one more run.

I'm fairly confident that post-Prague, this deck is primed to do really well! The best deck that played Rocket's Articuno only T32'd, and only 1 other got Top 64. Rocket's is completely off the radar for Zam enjoyers!

Against Mega Lopunny / Dudunsparce / Mega Froslass, 4 Mist Energy is very annoying. If they out attach Mist to your 2 Hammers, its probably not ending well for you. Only use the Hammer if you're getting a KO otherwise you waste both hammers for only 3 Prizes, which feels awful.

Against Zoroark, their best out to beating you is Darmanitan, so pop your Shaymin down and wait for them to evolve into Zoroarks and take clean KO's. They tend to fizzle out after you kill their 2nd Zoroark.

Against Grimm, they can boss up your shaymin and clutch lock it for 4 turns. Slap a helmet on him and let it die. Youll draw cards while being stuck for a few turns. Make sure you get it back with Stretcher/Ash, if Grimm takes multiple prizes against you, its game over.

Against the Meganium decks, they try to Budew you on their T1 going 2nd, so dont expect to Alakazam right away. Good thing Kadabra hits for 30. If you can set up 2 Kadabra and Shaymin here, you're in the driver seat and can boss all of their liability mons for easy KO's.

[Kenneth ➡️ Home 🏡 @ecker_kenneth]

Starmie / Dusknoir is a bad deck. They capitalize on wiping boards early, and if you cant answer it, you probably lose. Full Bench Barrier Package (Shaymin/Duck/Cage) helps you a lot here.

[Kenneth ➡️ Home 🏡 @ecker_kenneth]

Garchomp is fine. Just because they have 400 HP doesnt mean you cant just draw until you have 20 cards in Hand. Hammer is esential here to remove Rocky Energies. Use them wisely.

[Kenneth ➡️ Home 🏡 @ecker_kenneth]

Against Crustle, you have Hammers to get rid of Mist Energy, and they're slow anyway. If they Xerosic you, don't discard your Sacred Ash. You can use it to put your dudes back and draw enough to pick up the win. Genesect is good here if you can establish it before they Cape.

[Kenneth ➡️ Home 🏡 @ecker_kenneth]

Against the winning Pult/Dudunsparce list, you can kinda take your time to take cleaner knockouts on Pults, but also dont be afraid to strike early on a Drakloak with their only energy on board. They draw cards slower than you, use it to your advantage. Genesect is key here.

[Kenneth ➡️ Home 🏡 @ecker_kenneth]

Festival Lead is unfavorable because they can win the prize race by attacking twice, but not unwinnable! If you win the flip, you have to go first because you really need T2 Candy Zam. Most matchups you should opt to go first anyway, but especially here.
