If Genesect EX attacks Crustle BCR 85 with G-booster and Crustle had no previous damage counters, would Crustle be knocked out? http://pokebeach.com/scans/boundaries-crossed/85-crustle.jpg

I'm a big fan of Gothitelle/Accelgor decks and of item lock decks in general. Gothitelle has a powerful ability, but attacking with her is risky in this format, as Mewtwo is still very popular, so stacking energy on her will just make her vulnerable. You'll need to be prepared to promote...

Yeah, keep at least one Mewtwo. Otherwise, they will stall and refrain from attacking you until they have a benched Mewtwo with six energy on it, ready to ko anything you put out. If you have your own benched Mewtwo, you can retaliate and it'll hopefully be a while before they can setup...

RE: Zekrom/Eelektrik with a side of Mewtwo EX and Vileplume Yeah, definitely max out Collector. Also, I'm not sure why you're running Eviolite. I'm guessing you're either unaware that it's blocked by your own Vileplume or you added it in great quantities to increase the odds that you'd draw...

The prisms undermine Emboar, though. He's using Emboar to accelerate energy onto Mewtwo and to use X-ball for massive damage. Also, the odds aren't particularly high that he's going to draw two of those prisms when he needs them without twins. Though, it should be considered that stacking...

-3 or 4 Reshiram/Mewtwo EX (Mathematically, you'll only be able to use 3) -3 Prism (Not really necessary. You need fire for Reshiram, but the rest of your attackers just need stacked energy.) -2 N (doesn't work well with Emboar unless you have Magnezone) -2 Pokemon Center (Skyarrow is better) -...

Oh, wow, I didn't even realize that SEL's Torrent blade was limited to the bench, meaning it can't really hit anything for weakness with its water attack. Thanks for the replies you guys. There seems to be some contention on whether blastoise or SEL needs to go, so I'll playtest with my bro...

My brothers and I are hoping to go to some of the Georgia Marathon in the next few days. However, it's a fairly long way to drive and I'd like them to have a good run after the drive and not be disappointed by how their decks perform, so any input y'all have would be great. As a family, we don't...

@Card Slinger J -- I think he means the regular Ampharos from HGSS, not the prime; the non-prime would be far more useful in this deck, since he could potentially be slapping 2 energies a turn onto Timburr by turn two. However, I'm not sure if that alone justifies mew in here. Conkeldurr...

RE: Firefly Donk Well, Pokemon Catcher never hurt, but I feel like that would violate the 'cheap' prerequisite for this deck. You could add eviolite; that way, you won't be one hit koed by Yanmega.

RE: Firefly Donk You don't actually need Pokemon Communication in here, unless your 4 Collectors and 4 dual balls aren't doing it for you; all of your Pokemon are basic.

I'd add another Skarmory; you want to start with him. Also, max potion would be very useful, as you can move all of the energy off of your active Steelix/Scissor with Klinklang, drop the max potion, and move all the energy back. This is what makes Steelix the ultimate tank. I don't think there...

I'm actually trying to make this deck work too. Serperior can really be a headache for cards that can't one shot Yanmega, since you can rotate them out. Pokemon-wise, I'd take out the single Pichu or add more; the odds of starting with him aren't high in a deck with just 1. You might try a 1-1...

Yeah, I like that line.

Good to see you're still running this. For those who don't know, the rationale for this deck is that Tyranitar can't survive in this format by himself because of two cards: Catcher and Donphan. Catcher is especially dangerous to Tyranitar because he is a stage 2 and not a bench sitter who...
