First of all i was just wondering is it worth playing machamp now? as everywhere you go everyone has designed their decks to be anti-machamp.... anyway i would like some help with this deck, i would like to know if it would be consistent and strong. I'm not necessarily looking for improvements although feel free to post them at your will. Onto the pokemon!!

4-2-3 Machamp SF (all of them)
2-2 claydol GE
2-2 lumineon SF

pokemon 17

Supporters/trainers/stadiums

3 bebe's search
2 roseannes research
3 stark mountain
1 lookers investigation
4 rare candies
1 luxury ball
2 switch
1 warp point
4 poke drawer
1 cynthias feelings
2 prof. Oaks visit
2 underground expedition
1 pokemon rescue
1 night maintenance
1 Professor Rowan
2 Bucks training

trainers 31

12 fighting energy

Please bare in mind im a rookie so explain fully what you are saying, also i have really had to push hard to come up with this list of trainers/supporters/stadiums. All that i want from this deck is not necessarily to donk the living daylights out of all my opponents, but just to have a consistent machamp deck that is quick and do well at the UK nats 2009 (if this was made before the nats). For example do you think this deck would make top eight? Becuase most people at the nats were playing kingdra, gengar, dialga or dialga/palkia. Also do you think that this would give me consistent (at least) t2 machamp with necessary energy for hurricane punch?
 
3-2-3-1 Machamp SF (all of them)-- 1 lvl.x
2-2 claydol GE
1-1 lumineon SF

Maybe something like this...
 
i used this in machamp

4-2-3-1 machamp x
3 uxie
3 mesprit
1-1 lumineon

it actually works pretty well. that mesprit lock is what u really need for a surprise somtimes.
 
Yeah its good but i dont have any uxies or mesprits, therefore im using claydols. IM ONLY A ROOKIE! but thanks anyway.
 
Why post your deck just to object to the feedback you receive? I say throw a couple Farfetch'd SF's in your deck so you can make sure that you get your poke drawers, rare candies, etc.
 
I've won several matches by teching a 1-1 Infernape 4 (RR). And I have to agree with Maxwell. For someone who claims to be a rookie, should you really be calling anyone's lineup terrible? Also, the new Aerodactyl can be a nice little tech to get a starter basic with free retreat and if you HAVE to go first it lets you draw 2 more cards (well, it's worked nicely for me at least)
 
Please explain how is that terrible!?!
If you put in another NM you won't have hardly any trouble with the lineups!
 
why is there claydol - i´ve never seen any machamp deck with claydol - therefore it´s much better to play a deck like gechamp
 
Sorry guys, sought of over exaggerated when i said it was terrible, just thought you might as wel play at least 4-2-4 machamp SF or 4-2-3-1 machamp lv.X
 
Claydol is fine drawing engine and I have seen it used in Machamp decks. As to the Lv X, you do not need it per say. If you have it try it out, if it doesn't work I would just put in another Machamp. Now the advice about Areodactyl is a good one, its a basic that has good HP, free retreat and draws you cards.

I would drop the lumineon down to a 1-1 and add in some unown G's if you have them, they can be very helpful against certain things.
 
If you don't have any more Uxie, maybe you could try Jirachi (Rising Rivals) as a sack starter to activate your upper energy.
 
Yeah, jirachi works wonders with upper, however machamp doesn't need upper energy. Champ benefits alot more from cyclone energy.

so -2 fighying energy
+2 cyclone energy

You're also trying way to hard with the trainers. Focus on what you really need and not on the things that depend on the situation.

something like:
4 roseanne's
4 bebe's
4 rare candies
2 BTS
1 stark
1 luxury
4 warp point
2 NM
4 pokeblower/ drawer

would be better IMO...

...you could use those 2 free slots for something like pachirisu or Uxie...

..hope that helps....
 
Thnx for the posts everyone! its really helping. Thank you for the list super wooper trooper but wouldn't it be better if i played 2 roseannes and 1 night maintenance to replace it with 2 cynthias and a lookers investigation perhaps?
 
Well, he said he doesn't have any Uxie or Mesprit...

I would say play 4 Call Energy. If you get a start with Claydol in your hand T1 or do something to set up faster.
 
I dont have any call energy either lol... Maxwell stage, i just read what you said, that farfetchd idea is not bad, heck im gunna try it out.
