what is the right amount of energy cards to use in pokemon?
i know it varies quite a bit but what do u think is th right number of energy versus monsters and trainers?
For this, it kind of depends on your deck, but I’ll list some suggestions. Typically, you expect to see about 40% Eneregy, 40% Pokemon, and 20% Other.
This way, you don’t have an overload of energy cards, and you won’t short out. You could go with a slight variation of this for some decks, and have 30% Energy so you could have 50% Pokemon, and 30% Other.
If you have a mass creature deck, like a T-Tar style deck, you’ll want more Creatures, because the Pokemon, and their moves, don’t require much energy. If you have more a Psychic Lock style deck, you’ll want more Energy, because you will be playing off the abilities in the deck. But if you’re running a stall deck, like the Blissey Stall theme, you’ll want an even amount, which I listed as the first option.
As I said, it really depends on your deck, and your style of playing. I know people that change it up to see what works best for them, so you could try that too. Your deck is your choice, so make it yours. I hope this helped, and if you need anything else, just ask me, I’m here to help.

So what is a trebuchet and where can you find one? A trebuchet is device that is designed using the natural forces of gravity, centrifugal force, and leverage to perform unique engineering magic. It requires no batteries, no fossil-based fuel, no wind or water to operate. This “Big Bertha” medieval siege weapon has evolved to become a popular backyard model that many consider the new “toy for big kids”. Trebuchets are built by elementary school enthusiasts, college students, and retirees…from all walks of life and throughout the world. They deliver surprising fun throughout the design, building and launching process.
Let’s take a more detailed look at what is a trebuchet? A trebuchet is essentially a lever device that can be built from basic materials, many of which can be found in the home. The trebuchet uses a controlled weight and the force of gravity upon the weight, and a lever to transfer the displaced energy to produce amazing throwing power. Essentially, when the static energy of a controlled weight is released at a specific height it transforms static energy to kinetic energy from a lever arm to a “sling”, which can ultimately launch an object incredible heights and/or distances.
Centrifugal force also plays an important role in the success of a trebuchet. Imagine the motion of throwing a baseball or football. The trebuchet sling functions in a very similar fashion. You start the throw with the ball in your hand and then extend it backward behind your head and shoulders, gradually returning the ball with hand and arms forward and to release. Although not identical, a similar motion occurs with the trebuchet sling arm. The throwing object starts in one position and upon activation, the projectile will slide backwards along the board or track surface. As the sling (or swing) arm pulls the sling harness skyward, the projectile will follow the path of an arc. One end of the sling must open at the apex, releasing the projectile and allowing it to launch skyward.
Many new builders initially make the mistake of placing the release prong (headless nail) or slot at the wrong angle. Doing so may cause the trebuchet sling to release prematurely or too late, this would affect the launch distance and trajectory. Another critical feature of the sling harness is that one end should be permitted to release (open). A headless nail or prong, or a slot cut at the end of a sling arm should be positioned to allow a proper release.
Picture a sling with a rock in a pouch at the end. Now imagine swinging the sling repeatedly. With a trebuchet the motion is similar, but it happens only once and then you must reload the device. The trebuchet sling should swing in a comparable arc pattern. However, as the projectile approaches a vertical position, one sling end should slide off the end prong (or out of a sling arm “end slot”) to ultimately complete a successful toss.
There are a myriad of trebuchet designs ranging from paperclip to piano slinging models, but the more popular plans include a hinged counter-weight design. This design feature allows the weight to fall more vertically than with a non-hinged arm. Increasing the time that gravity has to exert force on the weight will enhance the acceleration force exerted on the object being thrown. This will produce consistently longer tosses, assuming all other features are properly optimized.
In a bit more than a nutshell, that answers, what is a trebuchet.
As an experienced trebuchet designer, this author knows a few good website sources that supply trebuchet and catapult kits. Some offer full kits complete with materials, while others offer plans that lack the step-by-step instruction needed for a novice or lack clarity for even an experienced builder. However, one particular site offers a very popular trebuchet design package (model 309) complete with step-by-step video instruction. Visit the http://www.howtomakeatrebuchet.com website to experience What is A Trebuchet and access a quality plan that includes complete blueprints and “walk through” videos. The plans are available for free and can’t be found anywhere else online.
