Pokeballing: Pokemon Sites

Research is a very important part of keeping up on the competitive Pokemon scene. Knowing whats big in the meta you will be playing in is vital when it comes to teching out your deck. Say for example your meta is gonna be Zekeels, you would research and know to tech in Terrakion to score quick revenge kills. Pokemon websites are great for keeping up on the research element of the game, whether it be tournament reports, new sets or just cool rule changes you don't know about.

Pokebeach.com
Pokebeach is a great website for everything Pokemon not just the TCG. Pokebeach has set lists up a good two weeks or more before the release. This is amazing as some cards are removed from certain sets before its English release. Pokebeach also has a incredible forums section that not only has a deck garage to post ideas and deck lists, but also a meta deck centre. This highlights what you should be teching into your top tier decks.

Sixprizes.com
Six Prizes is a very different website from the other ones on my list today. Six Prizes is a website by the players for the players, with nothing but articles written by players for everyone to read. This includes in depth tournament reports,set analysis, and card of the day. Six Prizes also has a special underground where certain writers do more in depth reports, however this costs a fee a month.

Pokegym.net
Pokegym is very similar to Pokebeach in a few ways, though it also boasts several additional features. Pokegym is a full out forums site with card of the days, and deck garages. It also has the Pokemon Compendium, the place to go for any and all rulings questions one would have.

Thetopcut.net
The final site for this article is The Top Cut, a site ran by some of the best Pokemon players currently playing. On top of the deck articles , and set reviews, The Top Cut also does live streaming of games. This a very awesome feature and one that everyone should go and have a look at.

These are only just a few of the many sites dedicated to the Pokemon Trading Card Game. I would recommend going to these sites if you want your research for upcoming tournaments such as Battle Roads and Nationals.
