Guysen here,
I played Zacian ADP at the Pokemon TCG OCIC 2020 and placed 110/406.
ROUND 1 - SHOHEI MATSUMOTO [JP] LWL
ADP Zacian mirror match, Japan Variant w/ dragon talon
G1 I flipped tails on 3/4 Pokémon catchers
He got the first KO, GG
G2 I won by outspeeding him with altered creation first and KO
G3 50/50 game, he used professor's research for double custom catcher with only 2 left in deck, GG
ROUND 2 - KEITH YONG [MY] LL
Mew3 Malamar
G1 I had never practiced so I didn't know what to expect, I started with Dedenne gx big charm. He proceeded to search everything and get out gengar mimikyu for a horror house gx, I had 4-5 trainers in my hand :(
G2 dead draw and whiffed all cards, no hand after I altered creation GX
ROUND 3 - RITCHIE COTTON [AU] WW
Pure Nagaguzz
G1 He wanted to start 2nd; he used n’s resolve and whiffed all energy; I setup shrine and just took 2x knock outs on the 2 NagaGuzz in play while he dead drew and manual attached.
G2 He wanted to start 2nd again; he whiffed energy from n’s resolve again and dead drew while I catchered his dedenne; knock out with ADP. He GX attacked with NagaGuzz; I catchered his 1 energy giratina and knocked it out with ADP; then I quick balled for phione to knock out whatever he had left for game.
ROUND 4 - ADAM ZHANG [AU] WW
ADP Zacian mirror match
G1, He dead drew constantly while I could t2 altered creation GX; and won the game from there.
G2 Same as G1
ROUND 5 LUKE SCHMITT [AU] LL
ADP Zacian Mirror match
G1 He had an insane setup with jirachi escape board, absol, Zacian V and ADP 1 energy. All I had was Dedenne big charm to start and nothing on bench until T2. I got a DPL for pre emptive drawing with Oranguru before I decided what to swap; proceeded to dead draw and lose the game after. Absol Extra retreat hurt enough, forcing me to dig for switches, especially when he played 4 custom catcher, AND Pokémon catchers.
G2 He had the exact same insane setup as G1. He top decked prof research 2 turns in a row to his benefit. I managed to altered creation first but had no energy or Zacian in play. I had a dead hand and never got any quick ball until t5. Since I had no energy and he had everything, he knocked me out first; then my draws were pretty sad after; I still had 8 out of 12 energy in my prizes and deck.
I had a big charm on my ADP, saving it’s life, in active which he needed to knock out in order to win, he used jirachi and pulled his 1 Guzma hala out of his deck to search for Lysander labs and won the game.
ROUND 6 - JAMES PATTINSON [AU] WLW
Cinccino stall
G1 Used ADP GX attack early and just flipped 3 heads on catchers for knocks outs
G2 I whiffed energy for ADP GX and attempted to dig to try get something. He then did the Cinccino stall combo: Lt surge, 2x Brycenbella Mew3 ability to copy Magcargo's GX attack for game
G3 I played Lysander labs, Pokémon catchered his Zacian V, then ADP GX. he couldn’t retreat and played no switch or stadiums, I knocked his Zacian out with 2 shot ADP, then phione ability on his ditto for knock out. I then proceeded to flip heads on a catcher on his Cinccino for the final knockout
ROUND 7 - GREGORY MAY [AU] WLW
Blacephalon GX Naga GX
G1 Opponent went first and had poor draw; only getting setup on t3. I only played 2 ADP, no Zacian. He tried to continuously burst burn me for confusion but I flipped heads and got the KO from his first Blace. He whiffed his beast rings and scooped the game.
G2 opponent went first again, but this time got setup faster; I whiffed all my energy I needed for my GX attack t2 and only got it t4, by then it was too late; he burnt 6 energy on mind blown against my 1st ADP. By this time I had no other energy anywhere; I had to double metal saucer my benched Zacian v and return knock out; praying he didn’t have anymore energy; unfortunately he did 😞
G3 I went first; started with Zacian V, attached a metal energy; intrepid sword another energy which ended my turn; I had nothing else and prayed he didn’t have welder blace GX. He flipped over a poipole, weldered to the poipole, and ended his turn. T2 I just attached energy to Zacian v, and donked his poipole for game.
ROUND 8 - BEN ANDERSON [AU] LWW
Cinccino Mill
G1 I played too recklessly and kept using Prof research he then used the Cinccino Mill combo to finish me off for my recklessness: Lt surge double brycenbella + mew3 Magcargo's GX attack.
G2 I played conservatively, kept all catchers in my hand; used oranguru to swap the top card with ones I didn’t want so he could mill them. I used ADP GX attack and always benched phione so he couldn’t discard it. I flipped my heads on catchers and won the game, aiming for Cinccinos to reduce his draw power.
G3 Same as G2.
ROUND 9 - MUNG KING CHAN [HK] ID
Zacian ADP mimiyku
Decided to ID as It was either play it out do or die. My resistance was low due to 3 of the players dropping out, so it was safer to ensure t128 instead of bubble t64 as I was playing on a high enough table.
