needs an azelf for prized cards

and quick balls for SPEED

at least that's how mine looks like it's gonna work

What does the Azelf do for the deck?

 

[revdjweb]

i think regirock/felicity's and stark mountain would be a better energy accelerator than groudon.
switch/warp instead of magnezone. magnezone will eat resources which rhyperior needs instead. also lets your run all fighting energy which ups the dangerousness of rhyperior level x's free attack.
you need SSUs to recycle wounded rhyperiors and to trigger its power over again to try to stall/deck your opponent.

 

[captainrhubarb]

azelf makes sure your big hitter (rhyperior)

is never prized,

I personally dislike regirock as an energy accelerator because it's not needed really, just attach 3 energy to a rhyperior then drop a mix up when you need to, they're bulky enough that you can build up behind an active one if you have a premier ball in hand

What does the Azelf do for the deck?

with azelf's time walk you can search out pokemon that ended up in your prizes

at first i had ssup. i really didnt look at regirock cause of the whole discard two cards. plus magnezone gives my groundon free retreat also.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

how many Azelf do you play? also what should i take out for these things?

 

[dreamdemon]

take out the magnzone line and metel energys. add fighting energy and tsd if you have it

 

[gardellade23]

with magnezone and the metal engery out that leaves me 6 empty spaces.
now i can add 2 switch, 3 Regirock, and 1 Azelf.
would this be a better bet?
what should i take out for ssup?
