Hello guys and guyettes. I'm having a dilemma, and I need some help... I need a great Machamp SF and Umbreon UD counter for my DialgaChomp deck, (which is full of Poképowers and basics)

Here is my decklist

Pokémon (17)
3-1 Dialga G (1x LvX)
2-2x Garchomp C (2x LvX)
1x Smeargle CL
1x Unown Q MD
1x Dragonite FB SV
2x Uxie LA
1x Ambipom G RR
1x Azelf LA
1x Crobat G
1x Bronzong G

TSS (29)
1x Aaron's Collection
4x Cyrus's Conspiracy
1x Pokémon Communication
1x Energy Exchanger
1x Looker's Investigation
2x Pokémon Collector
1x Luxury Ball
2x Bebe's Search
1x Premier Ball
1x Professor Oaks New Theory
4x TGI: Pokéturn
3x TGI: SP Radar
2x TGI: Energy Gain
3x TGI: Power Spray
2x Expert Belt

Energy (14)
4x Special metal
3x Basic Metal
2x Warp
4x Double Colorless
1x Basic Psychic

The strategy of my deck is to get Dialga G Lvx out by atleast turn 3. I usually start with one of the three Dialga G, and on the first turn have atleast a metal energy of somekind attached to it. I don't usually energy gain my dialga, instead belting it, deafening for 30 damage. My priority is to get Dialga G out first, then Bronzong G, as I need some galatic switches. I will then try to get the Garchomp out, but I think the Pokébody lock to be more important. I use the energy exchanger to swap energies in my hand that I don't need for a Special Metal, for more wallage ( if that's a word. As you can see by my strategy, it is very time consuming, and some would even call it slow, so I need a Machamp counter than can be very speedy, and maybe abuse the SP engine... Thanks

Well, you don't need to worry about Umbreon, because Dialga G can one-shot it with 2 Flash Bites. (Built-In counter). As for Machamp, if you've got it, Uxie X plus 2 Premier Ball or Junk Arm makes it possible to loop Zen Blade KO's. Of course, still valid and much cheaper is Drifblim UD, and Honchkrow SV can do work as well and doubles as a sufficient mirror match/gengar counter.

Pretty good.

You just need a 3rd Collector and an Uxie X.

Ok, I get the collector, but the Uxie is a bit pricey... If there was something cheaper, then maybe i'd try that.

I like the idea of drifblim UD, but my list is so consistant, I don't know what to take out...
 
Also, I would like to add you can technically disallow Gengar Prime to win. Just do your normal stuff earily game, do a bit of Deafen Lock. Now Gengar Prime player MAY put the Lost World down as he will think you will deafen stall him late game (which you will do). Simply clear it away with Raptor FB X.
If you have 6 Pokémon in your LZ, Deafen - and don't EVER stop, unless you can Looker away their hand OR unless you've discarded all Lost Worlds they have with Raptor FB X. They normally run 2-3 Lost Worlds.
Edit: And yeah, you can borrow mine.

Also, Drifblim can be a decent Champ counter.
For Umbreon, just Second Strike and Earthquake your way through it.

People run Staraptor to get early Supporters. 1 Uxie. 1-1 Staraptor.

Don't listen to this kid. Making Uxie a 1 of will make you lose Machamp, BADLY. Uxie X is your only out to winning... people who put Staraptor in their lists always do so accepting the Machamp loss, since it's not so popular.
 
I've heard it works, plus he says he can't afford Uxie X.

If it were me, I'd just run 2-1 Uxie myself, but he can't get the X. Machamp is dying down a bit more tho.

I'd go with a Spray myself. Maybe PONT.

Why? Three power sprays are necessary for an SP deck, and PONT is a near staple for DC

Thanks for the advise, but what could I tech out for Drifblim?

Thanks that advise, i'll take it onboard.
 
I think DialgaChomp does not need 3 sprays. Or so I've heard since it's already disruptive (Deafen and Remove Lost and Garchomp).
As for Drifblim... I really don't know. Try to think of things that haven't done much. It's a hard decision to make becuase you remember times where you've used everything.
