3-3 Hippowdon rr
1-1 donphan prime
2-2 manectric pl
2 mareep pl (minor errand running attack)
1 flaaffy pl
1 ampharos pl
1 ampharos sw
1-1 flygon rr (no lvx)

2 speed stadium
1 bts
2 bebe's
2 roseanne's
1 luxury ball
2 oak's new theory
2 engineer's adjustments
3 felicity's drawing
4 rare candy
4 pokedex handy910is
1 expert belt
2 bench shield
1 memory berry

10 rock energy
4 electric

The strategy is to try and get hippowdon out early T2 and start discarding energy asap with the dump 'n' draw supporters. donphan's for the clean and quick kills, the electric pokemon are purely for tech (ampharos team shuts down powers and manectric protects bench- and itself with bench shield- from recoil dmage from donphan and hippowdon, but it's main priority is to restrict garchomp's snipe range). I have tested this deck thoroughly and i can safely say that cursegar is almost ineffective against it, and luxchomp may have a hard time taking it down too- well, i never played against luxchomp but i do know it specialises in sniping and things like that. As far as i can tell, this is pretty much the one time anyone has used these cards in this combination, and because of that i am confident in my belief that this deck will do quite well at the wicksteed park nationals, on june 12th. My only, ONLY concern for this deck is spiritomb (locks candies? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) and gyarados (rock and water don't mix lol). I have no call energy unfortunately, so bear with me.

To give you a first impression of this deck's win/loss record: 8 wins, 0 losses.So far. *I'm gonna lose badly at nationals* Anyway, all advice and suggestions are welcomed, and I am all ears to whatever you have to say.
 
drop the ampharos lines, the flygon lines, and put in 2-2 claydol, 1 hippodown lvx (can always help) and also some more donphan prime lines. trade the speed stadiums for bts, and twist the memory berry for an extra expert belt. the electric energy can be switch for multi energy, cause manectric only need one.

that are the first things that is see, and if you do this changes, this would be a great combo!

No, not at all Mr Jenkins.

But the fact still remains, this is going to have problems with so many lines and no claydol or uxie for draw, also a better idea is just to use the flygon engine more with 3-3-1 hippo. 2-1-2-1 flygon. 2-2 Dol, 1 Frost Rotom, 1Uxie. This will be alot better and certaily be more consistent then what you are trying to run.
 
I can drop the ampharos, manectric, bench shields, donphan, memory berry and lightning energy to put in more flygon, hippowdon and an uxie (if i can find my uxie in time). I have no claydol, or any of the suggested lvXs or frost rotom.2 belts would be best and maybe 2 noctowl hgss for extra drawing? Maybe i can add some aerodactyl g for a good start against luxchomp (draw 2 or prevent enemy level ups). I have no call, so all energy would have to be basic. My collection is not exactly full to the brim with popular cards e.g luxray BUT i do have a garchomp c. Maybe tech just a 1-1 garchomp c? It helps with the theme of discarding energy. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your advice and sorry i couldn't reply staright away.

and lol, icanhascheeseburger! The deck is called that because the brown and yellow pokemon remind me of a burger, but seeing as the electric types may be kicked out the name would have to change lol
 
if you did the changes that is say, and put i claydol & bts, then can you see that speedstadium is not so good as the changes that i saying.
 
I already mentioned i have no claydol in my collection whatsoever and i most probably never will. And speed stadium can be helpful but it is rather flippy.

What is everyone's opinion on aerodactly g as a hopeful starter?
 
Go to a pokemon league ask for the promo claydols because u r going to nats, i think they will say yes, they should.

Then find any baltoy, problem solved.

Dont play Hippodown/Flygon!!
I try this on the states, and the deck have not enouch power, or needs to much energy!!! So now, i play Flygon/Nidoqueen, and thats much beter!
If you wanna play hippodown, try it with donphan & manactric, but NOT with flygon!!!

If you realy want to play FlyDown, then you can find my decklist here
 
Just so that you're prepared, have you read Luxray LvX?

Electric Barrier won't do anything against Bright Look, I'm afraid, but you're right if you're hoping it will help against Garchomp LvX. Its better to know in advance, at least.

See you at Nationals :)
