Umby- I love your ideas on swampy- ive liked that card for ages yet never used it. i managed to get hold fo 3 for bout £10!!! ($20) No one wants them!
I just wonder though- will it be a bit pokemon heavy/power constricted? I fear that Cess could ownz it.

Well I should think that there are a few reasons why possibly not:

  • Which decks could/will run cessation and will it be worthwhile? (Though castaway provides massive opportunity to)
  • If circle is run, you'll likely play storm to counter your own circles when needed.
  • Warp point is needed to get around Swampy's retreat, plus it's a nice staple card.
  • You have more ways to stop it then they do to play it (bar Quagsire)

3 special energies is massive. Together with castaway+latias ex it's b-e-a-utiful. I'll look through the DP2 and 3 spoliers for ideas later.
 
hmm, has any thought about using the blisseys weaviles and darkrais all in once deck? im not sure on what the speed would be, but u play 4 special darks, 4 boosts in the deck and alot of basic dark. so since the weavile with dark engage to make your bilssey dark typed, shadow charge to mass energy and the darkrai lvl x makes it do mas damage. all you need is the darkrai on you bench. happy chance the basics back, since they are basic while in discard you can still grab it but then once it is attached it will do an extra 20 damage isntead of 10. this is assuming you have used dark engage on the blissey this turn :eek:
 
Nah Blissey im not feeling anymore, It has a hard time against Magmortar and G&G. Then with the release of GE,makes some rogue decks better to beat Blissey.

Darkrai Lv.x/Weavile will most likely be the play. Only NRG accel that works well with it.

2-2 Darkrai Lv.X(Darkrai with Darkness Roar)
4-4 Weavile(3 SW and 1 DP)
1-1 Porygon 2

thats what I would try. Trainer line makes and breaks the deck. Fishing engine wouldnt be bad,actually would be the best searcher.Just my idea.
 
I think D-rai X is one of the best cards ever. Im paring it with the water wevile and ether Blissey or Pidgiot. Blissey is already a monster in its own right. and my favorite... Pidgeot. 2 energy for 50 and switch or 60 or 70 or 80 or... you see what im talkin about. I also throw in a little smeargle action. With trace your enemy has to watch the big boys on the bench.
D-rai X by itself is rather dangerous. 40 plus 3 dark energy for 70. if they arnt koed by next turn by flipping 2 coins they are most likely asleep second turn usind D-rai lv 40's atack for 40+40 plus 3 dark = 110. if they still arnt Koed by the damage and the flips just switch out with a fresh poke and keep your "investment" safe
 
It will most likely be used with Blissey,but Gallade will run through the deck either way since the main attackers are Fighting weak.
 
I'm currently playing the Darkrai Lv.X that i got with Honchkrow & Weavile. Nice energy excel, hand disruption comes from the honchkrow, honchkrow has the nice poke-body and Darkrai for extra damage. It works out quite well. I tech in a Umbreon* for more hand disruption along with 2 absol from SW. Super Scoop Up works quite nice. I also play premier ball (BROKEN CARD!) along with TGM, good draw along with EVEN more hand disruption. Plus Power works out nicely for any more extra needed damage. Moonlight Stadium works out with these pokemon very nicely as well
 
People where breaking their necks to get this at the pre-release... it was halarious. This card won't even dent the current format it is an extreme waste and valuable cards of time to build.

I agree I don't think darkrai will do anything to the format.
 
Alright then... have fun thinking that then. This card is very good i do believe. Combo it with any dark pokemon or Hypno. Heck! Combo it with anything that needs/owns something when its asleep

Yep, I've changed my stance on this card, now that the format has developed.
It's bad. It didn't work in Japan, and it won't work here.
 
It has double weakness to fighting, and besides fire weakness that is the worst weakness you can have. It will see some play, but the rarity and weakness will keep the number of Darkrai decks to a minimum. It may be more playable once the tins come out, but even then it won't be that good.
 
i think because it is in a tin the us will see a lot of darkrai X. if not for the tins i wouldn't expect to see it, but now.... oh well
 
I think this deck is going to see the most play in juniors and seniors. masters isn't going to see a lot of it. But the fact that no one is willing to trade one.....is ridiculous.

Gallade players are gonna be so so happy with so many people wanting to play darkrai X :biggrin:

u RARELY would attack with it should be used mostly for it's body.

The "HP Bar" right now is at 130:
Gallade
Gardy Lv. X
Magmortar Lv. X or Magmortar with Buffer Piece
Blissey
Gator

What could OHKO all of these with the help of Weavile (SW) and Darkrai Lv.X?
Garchomp, yes I know that it's weak to Blissey but when you can OHKO them it's not that big of a deal.

Pachurisu as your starter, retreat turn 2, use Weavile, power up your bench Garchomp, or what ever you have going of that line and attack turn 3 for at least 110, if your having problems getting your Darkrai Lv.X out.
 
Darkrai has alot problems right now>

1.It dies to quick against anything 80/100 HP is not good for it to last if attacking or from sniping.
2. It needs accel or it dosent work well.
3 It cant do good on its own which sucks.
4.Expensive attack for possible 80 and status.

I mean at first it seemed good,but the format is being domianted by Mag and Gallade. I mean we are gonna have to wait til we get Mewtwo and Mewtwo LvX which has 120 HP,self accels and self healing. Its gonna be much better.
 
Let me set this on stone:
You SHOULD never attack with it. You bring it up, Level it up and then send it right back to the bench. It has an amazing body that is about it
