Ok, so i have wanted to make a Pikachu deck for a long time, and the opportunity presented itself when I got a RaichuX. This deck kind of is more of a Raichu deck, but Pikachu is a main part of it. This deck currently is a league/fun deck but I may use it in small tournaments just to see my opponent's expression when I flip over a bunch of Pikachu's T1 :lol:. Ok, here it is:
Pokemon
4-4-3-1 Raichu (SF-MT-2 SV/1 MT-SF)
4 Sableye SF
1-1 Gyarados MT (donphan counter)
1 Unown Q
2 Uxie LA
1 Azelf LA
S/T/S
4 Pokemon Collector
3 Roseanne's Research
4 Bebe's Search
4 Pokedex HANDY910is
4 SSU
3 Pokemon Communication
2 NM
1 Energy Restore
1 WP
1 Luxury Ball
1 Premier Ball
Energy
10 :lightning:
Ok, before you start posting comments that completely change my deck, read this:
Strategy
So, at first glance you probably were like, "....." while reading the deck list. I'll try to explain the basic strategy as best as I can, but first I'll introduce the stars of the deck:
Sableye SF- I think just about everyone knows this little guy. I use him in order to set-up the deck. I'll explain more about the set-up latter on.
Pichu SF- The only reason that I need to have Pichu in the deck is for Pikachu (see next paragraph). I kind of like the SF one, but I also like the AR Pichu.
PIKACHU MT- Why I wrote it's name in all caps is because this little fellow is the main part of this deck. Pikachu has this awesome pokepower that lets you get a :lightning: energy from your discard and put it into your hand, but only if Pichu is under Pikachu. So not only is it really cute, but it can also be helpful. The significance of getting energys to your hand from the discard will be explained in the RaichuX analysis.
SV/OP9/MT Raichu- I have been trying out different Raichus and I think that these two best fit the deck. I like the OP9 Raichu's attacks because I might want to do 100 damage one time with no discarding of energys, but i'm am currently switching the OP9 for the MT Raichu. I like the SV Raichu because it doesn't discard energys either :biggrin:.
And now, the main attacker of the deck:
Raichu Lv.X- Awesome PokeBody, which is helpful but not at all connected to the strategy. The main attack that I use RaichuX for is its Voltage Shoot, which can do 80 to any of your opponent's pokemon, but at the cost of 2 :lightning: energys from your hand.
Set-Up
Ok, so the goal is to get a Sableye start. You impersonate Collectors to get out your Pichus and Pikachus. You then can Baby Evolution Pikachus onto Pichus the next turn, start charging energys onto one of your Pikachus for a latter Raichu, then impersonate either a Bebe or a Collector to get a Raichu or more Pichus/Pikachus/UnownQ out, etc.
THE GOAL OF THE DECK IS: to get at least 2 Pikachus benched with Pichus under them, a RaichuX active with 3 :lightning: energys, and at least 2 :lightning: energys in your hand. You use Voltage Shoot to snipe pixies, claydols, or any other low hp bench pokemon, or even attack the defending pokemon with it. The Pikachus get you your 2 :lightning: energys back to your hand, and then you Voltage Shoot again. (And yes, I know that PowerSpray kills the strategy, so please don't mention it.) RaichuXs pokebody lets you have a 'big bang entrance' when you play it, but that's about all the 'body does.
The Problem with RaichuX is that it needs 3 energys to attack. I used Mr.Mime to stall while I attach energys, but is there a better way to stall/attach energys? Remember that this is only a fun deck that MIGHT see tournament play, so please don't be suggesting a lot of counters. I CAN'T AFFORD UXIEX, DO NOT SUGGEST IT.
Ok, so there's the deck, I hope that I inspired others to make their own versions of it, and if they did that they would share them.
Sorry about the length, but i really wanted you to understand the strategy and how the cards work together.
Please Comment, thanks :thumb:
