Arceus/Electrivire/Lucario

[The Answer]

Does this combo have any viability?

1.) Ultimate Zone

2.) Arceus Punishes for weaknesses

3.) Level up to either Psychic Bolt Lvl. X or Omnicsient Lvl. X

4.) Use Lucario GL to get weaknesses to x2

5.) Once Psychic bolt lands, use motor drive next turn to get back lightning energy

6.) Attach Psychic energy to Arceus

7.) Repeat

8.) Profit

For faster Energy on Arceus, you'll need to have 6 different types of Arceus in play. That makes you lose Ripple Swell unless you are using Super Scoop Up or Scoop Up (you are running Elective SW, so I'm assuming you're playing Unlimited). Otherwise, I guess it could work. You need something to get the Psychic Energy though.

Having 2 non Arceus on the bench means less options for hitting type advantage. Even so, you'll need a LvX for each one to pull it off this way. If you have plenty of time, you can set it up, but I think it'll be too slow for real play.

 

[Obsidius]

Instead of Electrive, you could use Rayquaza LA.

It lets you retrieve lost Fire/Lighting energy that would be discarded by either Psychic Bolt Arceus or Fire Arceus. This lets you keep your field presence as the game gos on.

 

[The Answer]

Yeah. I realized the psychic energy will be a problem.

I'd do what Obsidius sugessted, and I'll find a card that'll function late-game.

 

[Darkshy]

Well even then you can just stick to the meta right?
Just use the arecus that applies to what's popular right now?

 

[Decmaster]

I have an idea...

Use Heatran Lv.X if you level up from the Fire or Metal Arceus...
And hope your opponent doesn't play Dialga G Lv.X... (for Multitype)

 

[Futa]

^But Heatran can only recover Fire or Metal Energy, while Psychic Bolt Arceus discards Lightning and Psychic Energy.

 

[Decmaster]

No, Heatran Lv.X works on Fire or Metal type Pokemon, not Fire or Metal Basic Energies.

Arceus cannot be obtained legally!? It can now be obtained only by cheating, huh? That is news to me. Is it true folks? I just love the fact that it is multifarious and that it can learn judgment. But my favorite is lucario, he is so charming. Couldn’t you use his aura to detect any movements? I think the threesome will work smooth enough. But yeah the energy level will be a problem. Why don’t you give it a try and let us all know.
