TuxedoBlack,
What do you recommend over some of the draw supporters?
You make a good point. Carbink does seem a bit out of place once Garbodor is in place. Think 10 mons is enough or should I look run 4 Glaceon and 4 Regice?
I see what you are saying by having things on the bench to get...
Pokemon
Glaceon EX 3
Regice 3
Garbodor 2-2
Carbink (safeguard) 1
Total 11
Trainers
N 3
Sycamore 3
Lysandre 2
Brigette 1
Float Stone 2
Switch 1
Fighting Fury Belt 3

DCE 4
Water 8

I like the idea but maybe think about dropping a hypno line. 2-2 should be fine for just hanging on the bench. I also think a 2-2 of zoroark would be good too. Wake up darkrai with rush in float stone plus you'll have a solid back up attacker that could take advantage of the DCE. I just wouldn't...
Tough to say not having tried out the spirit belt, but I think I would go spirit belt. Seismitoad imo is about disruption and stalling your opponent rather than doing major damage and I think the belt can give you some more staying power to potentially get one more turn of disruption.
Best of...
LunaticHypno,
I was thinking Seismitod Ex to be honest. I think it would probably be better to use that over Girantina. The way I see it, since you are using Raticate you dont really need a hard hitter, Raticate will be dropping your opponent's active to 10hp. What would be better is something...
I'd be interested to see how Machamp Ex works for you. I've been playing a Champ Ariados for a little while and I think it'd be a lot harder (2F 1 C energy cost) to set up than the new Darkrai (1 D and 1DCE set up) would, especially since he is a secondary focus of the deck. Without Landorus or...
Hey Beach Crew,
As the title suggests, I'm looking to put together a Champ ex with Ariados. I have seen some other ideas on this forum but wanted to run this one with a little twist. One of the biggest problems I have seen while trying out Machamp is that he takes a lot of set up to really get...
The reason for Ariados is that it boosts the attack of pangoro by 40 if it is affected by a special condition (poison). Its the same with Machamp however, Machamp benifits from healing itself from the status condition after the attack.
However, if you really like they idea and want to stick it...
I like the strategy you're going with I just think ariados works better with Machamp ex. Pangoro's attack has the same cost as Machamp and hits less hard. Not to mention if you draw Cham or Pangoro, you still need to search out the other. I would also cut the dark line Im general. I think that...
Thanks, I didn't realize sleep over wrote the confusion (rookie mistake). I like the idea of Ariados then, I was thinking Mal ex would be a nice secondary win condition if I couldn't get the promos going. What do you think I should make room for AZ with? Trick coin and a Super Scoop?
What is your thought on replacing a Landorus with a Melloeta? I know it does not have the attack that Landorus does which is unfortunate, But it does allow you to energy ramp a lot faster moving 2 energy per turn instead of 1. If you can battle comp or scorched earth out energy early game if...
Hey Beach Boys,
Was considering putting together a bit of a lock deck looking for opinions and/or how viable you think the strategy is. This deck is mostly for fun play but I do want it to have some viability so it isn't just complete trash (always losing is never fun). Anyway here we go...
I really like the idea of this deck, I am also trying to build this however I was thinking:
Pokémon:
1 Hoopa EX
1 Shaymin EX
3 Landorus
4 Mewtwo EX
3 M Mewtwo EX
1 Smerg
1 Mr. Mime (maybe this is better side decked but I like the idea of bench protection especially with bats, and Noivern when...
Has there been any other bench barrier like Mr. Mime that has been released or possibly released in the next set? That would help keep magic carp alive after your field gives them 20 damage. Hopefully there is a replacement card in standard to that adopts that ability.
