I won the Mox Bellevue Expanded tournament today! 12 people participated. Special thanks to @lubyllule.bsky.social; dowsingmachine.com and the Silent Lab Discord server gave us all the info we needed to hold this event. #PlayPokemon

2nd/10 at the Lumiose Tour event in Loufoque (Paris) today with my Ceruledge list. The deck was fine but I lost the finals to Ilhan (who also won yesterday) since Tsareena is an extremely difficult matchup.

Got top 4 in today's Lumiose Tour event with Quad Thorns. A good metacall after Absol and Regidrago did well on Tuesday, but unfortunately I lost a close match to ADP Bolt in top 4, who ended up winning the tournament.

Lida (Supporter) You can only play this card if one of your Mega Evolution Pokemon ex was Knocked Out during your opponent's last turn. Search your deck for up to 2 Basic Energy and attach them to 1 of your Mega Evolution Pokemon ex. Then shuffle your deck.

What's up with all the bots lately? Am I the only one getting this? If I wanted to be followed by fake accounts shilling for AI giveaways (scams?), I could have stayed on Twitter

5th win in the Lumiose Tour! We had 14 players at PlayIn Rivoli (Paris) today, on Bastille Day. I started 0-1-1 but managed to climb back, and ended up winning with Absol Garb. This is the classic Yano Wataru version that is gaining in popularity due to the consistency of its turn 1 setup.

Fourth win in the Lumiose Tour, at Le Deck in Orsay! Only nine players today, including some newcomers with mostly Standard decks, but also multiple Regidrago and Lugia. I used Dusknoir Spread, I took a list that won a 30 player tournament in Japan recently and changed two cards.

Won an online expanded tournament tonight(3-0 undefeated) with Regidrago w/Jirachi Prism Star. Deck felt incredible, Jirachi + Peonia never came up for me but the theory is really solid on it. Big thanks to @lubyllule.bsky.social , as this is 100% his list, taken from dowsingmachine.com.

Weird translation, this should clearly be Yummy Jelly Donut

Mega Golisopod ex! G - Finishing Blow 60+ If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 160 more damage. CCC - Quatro Hold 160 During your opponent's next turn, the defending Pokemon cannot retreat.

Custom Vest (Tool) If the Pokémon this card is attached to isn't a Mega Evolution Pokemon ex, it takes 60 less damage from attacks from your opponent's Mega Evolution Pokemon ex.

Aarune (Supporter) Search your deck for a combination of up to 3 Supporters and Stadium cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your deck.

Wishiwashi ex! Ability: Oceanic Gain Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may heal 50 damage from it. WWWC - Hydro Splash 220

Legendary Trench (Stadium) You must play both versions of Legendary Trench at the same time from your hand in order to play them as a single Stadium. Whenever any Pokemon (yours or your opponent's) is healed, double the amount of damage being healed.

C'est aujourd'hui que c'est analysé par l'assemblée. Il fzut signer et faire tourner. Actuellement plus de 286000 signatures contre la loi qui entravera les enquêtes sur les tirs policiers.

Signez la pétition contre la présomption de légitime défense pour les forces de l'ordre ! En instaurant une présomption de légalité des tirs des forces de l’ordre, ce texte revient à instaurer un véritable permis de tuer. petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

Lumiose Tour, event number 7 for me (8 overall)! I decided to play ADP Bolt even though I've never played it. Its game plan is pretty solid when people cut Ranger, but it can be clunky (I lost in top 4 by discarding too many resources early). List is from the top 8 of a recent Torecacamp event.

En France, le gouvernement s’apprête à donner un «permis de tuer» aux policiers. Le 7 juillet, l’Assemblée nationale doit voter une loi qui considèrerait légal TOUT TIR de policier ou gendarme. Ce serait une bascule historique. Voici en 5 points ce que cette loi changerait.👇

17 Player turn out at local expanded event in Edinburgh!!! Unfortunately didn't do so hot, (Worst event of the season lol. Double brick round 1 into Klefki into a donk + game loss in a good position.) But if anyone is in the Edinburgh area we aim to run more expanded.

I won a third Lumiose Tour event today, at Tofopolis (Poissy)! Brought Tsareena because I love the deck, and thankfully no one was running Sudowoodo. We had 12 players.

Second win in the Lumiose Tour! (Atmos Arena, Paris, 17 players) I wasn't very confident, but I decided to bring Gardevoir in this event, and after some very close matches vs Regidrago in top cut, I managed to take it all.

Update: Ability's last line should actually be "shuffle the other cards and put them at the bottom of your deck". Somehow got it mixed up while deleting stuff trying to make everything fit within one post. Sorry!

RLC - Storm Emeralda 50x This attack does 50 damage for each Fire and Lightning Energy attached to all of your Pkmn.

Les français : en train de crever de chaud dans des passoires thermiques Le ministre du travail :

I won a small online Expanded event tonight with Tsareena. Wanted to try Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX in the deck since I saw it in some Japanese decklists, but I didn't use it once. Absol was pretty great though! R1 Shadow Rider W R2 Ceruledge W R3 Evo Vileplume / Lopunny W R4 Dusknoir Spread W

I won it !! After the finals yesterday, I won today's expanded tournament at Studio Riddle. Goodra was more useful today. I took the trophy home and I now need to find the last cards that I need🤣So proud of myself this weekend knowing I didn't played a lot of expanded before.

I invented Expanded Slowking Spread! I brought it to today's Lumiose Tour event at Studio Riddle in Reims, and went 4-0-1 but unfortunately lost in top 8. R1 Dragon Lugia WLW R2 Evo Slaking WLW R3 Regidrago LWT R4 Regidrago WW R5 Electro Rain WW T8 Absol Garbodor LL

I just placed 2nd in my first expanded tournament which is part of the Illumis Circuit. I lost to Evocon played by @lubyllule.bsky.social (I liked playing against someone who is largely better than me at this game) twice today but I'm really proud of what I've done. I'll be winning the next one !

I won the fourth event of the Lumiose Tour (at Les Trois Commandements, in Reims, 15 players) with Evo Vileplume / Lopunny! Very happy with the decklist. R1 Mew Path WW R2 Evo Slaking WW R3 Regidrago WLW R4 Absol Garb WW R5 ID T4 Rainbow Lugia WLW T2 Regidrago WW (The glared card is Acerola)

Calvin and Hobbes strip that says it quite well;

Dowsing Machine keeps being updated! For example, I added Hiromu Sasaki's Regidrago list from CL Aichi, that Yoann Barszezak has used to win two events in the Lumiose Tour already, to the site, as well as Kangaskhan Tank. dowsingmachine.com/en/archetype...

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

Je repense à ce post et c'est un sujet qui me parle, je l'évoquais déjà en 2015. C'était dans les bonus de "Notes" tome 9 (pas cher). Et comme l'autopromo est ma passion, voici les pages en question:

2nd place at today's Lumiose Tour event with Regidrago! We had 11 players in my small local shop (10 minutes away from home), thanks to everyone who joined! R1 Mew3 Box WW R2 ADP Latias LWW R3 Regidrago LL R4 Dragon Lugia WW Top 4 Regidrago LWW Top 2 Regidrago WLL

While I kind of miss NAIC, I played my first event of the 2026 Lumiose Tour today! I brought Snorlax Stall (almost roi's top 4 Aichi list) and went 3-1-1, bubbling out of cut. R1 Absol Garb LWT R2 Mew3 Box W R3 Dragon Lugia LL R4 Welder Box W R5 Regidrago W

Have a good NAIC, everyone! I spent the week in Rome visiting a friend, so no regrets about skipping it this year.

And so my PTCG season ends in Turin. What a season it’s been. Genuinely feel this season has been the strongest I’ve had in a long while both as a caster AND a player. I day 2’d two out of the three regionals I played and my feedback from production on my casting has been stellar

Went 3-0 with this Ceruledge list at the first Expanded side event in Turin! I've spent some time improving the decklist and I really like where is that, even though the Regidrago matchup remains challenging. R1 Regidrago Dusknoir WW R2 Absol Garbodor WW R3 Tsareena WW

17 players at the Expanded side event at Turin Special Event!

4-4 at Turin Special Event with Zoroark. Disappointing finish to the season, since I didn't reach the symbolic 1000 CP threshold, or got a stipend for Worlds. But I have two months to learn how to play Standard again! I'm playing Expanded tomorrow though

Espeon ex! PC - Sunshine Beatdown 30x This attack does 30 damage for each of your Pokemon in play. Umbreon ex! DC - Lunatic Claw 100+ If your opponent's Active Pokémon has any damage counters on it, this attack does 140 more damage.

Pikachu ex 2/2! C - Tingly Fever Attach any number of Basic Energy from your hand to your Benched Pokemon in any way you like. LLC - Thunder 200 This Pokémon does 30 damage to itself.

Pikachu ex Futuristic Rare Promo 1/2! C - Sparkling Parade Search your deck for any number of basic Pokemon and put them onto your Bench. Then shuffle your deck. LLC - Thunderbolt 200 Discard all Energy from this Pokémon.
