Replying to my own post. I found this thread in ATM after posting (in the similar posts at the bottom of the page). Plus I have a new strategy for seeking these things out before posting! Thanks for your patience, and I will try not to let this happen again.

Yet again I come to the forum for clarification on the wording of a card, not because I haven't read it, but because I am inexperienced with the subtleties of the terminology and wording used to describe energy and energy cards. Also, it is impossible to search for DRE on this forum, I assume...

If there is a metal energy accelerator, I am playing Steelix/Weavile/Moonlight Stadium. In fact, I might play it anyway. Steelix can one-shot Magmortar with Special Dark, and Weavile can one-shot Magmortar with two Special Dark (and mess up their massive Delcatty hand!) The only question is...

I was actually gonna try this deck without Empoleon. It could work nicely with Buffer Piece, Plus Power and Scramble. Sharpedo has free retreat to salvage bad starts, so you can be relatively assured of nailing them early with Prinplups, then catch up on prize cards by swarming Scrambled...

I was thinking the other day about building a Prinplup/Sharpedo deck. I think it might work well with Buffer Pieces.

Oh, yeah. I love it. I am currently playing with Celebi and Quagsire d, but look forward to trying out a Sceptile line when GE is out.

I think the reason scramble works so well with damage spreaders and bench snipers is that they lay a lot of damage without a KO. They can put lots of aggregate damage around the table before "losing the bubble" on Scramble by taking a prize. Frequently, you can last just enough turns to get a...

Max Buffer Piece and Plus Power are a staple in my deck, but I am not sure I understand the Rare Candy. If you start, you can't play a trainer. If they start, you would have to play TVR or Holon Mentor to discard energy. You can then Wear Cloak to get it back and Candy into Mothim for a T1...

From what I have read, it seems like energy management could be enough of a problem with Lucario that the shared weakness Octillery route might be better. I have not played either, however. Another one that I _have_ played is Dodrio. It was quite a while ago, but worked quite well at the time...

If you are looking to minimize your initial investment, definitely go with the sure things: singles and tins. I have recently experienced this phenomenon with my seven-year-old too. Additionally, if you are joining a league, it is a good place to find traders. If you get into boosters, make...

I thought the BDIF was G&G or Blissey. That is what I see mostly at my league.

Do a search for "Fresh Grass" and "The Time Is Today" in deck help for a couple of ideas that could include Mothim easily. The deck lists are pretty different, but I can say for sure that mine is running extremely well. Very consistent, very powerful, and very surprising. Have not yet played...

I have obviously read the card. I would not have opened myself up to this withering assault without having done so. The text of Strength Charm, though, as opposed to Plus Power, is syntactically vague. The text of the card reads, as we all know, "Whenever an attack...does damage to the Active...

When attaching Strength Charm to something like Prinplup or Lucario, if the active Pokemon is damaged, does the bench damage also get increased by 10?

It is possible that the OP does not yet know that there are decks with a strategy more complex than "get out your main attacker as quickly as possible." With a main attacker like Garchomp, however, it would be nice to know how you plan to do the energy attachments with certain matchups. With 18...

Neat. I just found this. I am playing a deck very much like this to some success. The main differences between this and my deck are that I play 3-2 Wormadam/Mothim on my Burmies, reduce the Quagsire line to 2-2, and play 3-3 Windstorm/Crystal Beach instead of ER2. I do run 2-3 Mentor/TVR to get...

I would say that without Rare Candy, Stage 2 Pokemon would have to become a lot more powerful to be viable. Their Stage 1s would have to be better too in order to survive a turn against Electivire, Magmortar, Blissey, et. al.

That's a good point, but I might still put in a couple of special dark for Weavile DP. They can come in handy, and you can search for them with Weavile SW.

Of course. In all likelihood if you are playing it in a Fighting or Psychic deck you will have some of that energy type somewhere in the deck. Actually, now that I think of it, these two cards would be great for mirror matchups. Maybe starting with Kecleon instead of Absol? Crazy, playing an...

Kecleon. Colorless basic can be splashed in just about any deck and does 20 damage to one of your benched Pokemon on a tails flip. On heads, this attack does 60 damage to the defending for CC! If you are playing it in a Psychic or Fighting deck, even better since you will have a double Buffer...
