Well, it doesnt make any sense!

How long will the piplup BE a Piplup it should evolve NEXT turn!
Teching in a different one is just NOT smart!
 
no i run the same deck almost....and have a secret of my own.....lol but yeah u have to abuse aqua shower and zapados other wise its not a good d-spread
 
bronzong is only really effed against heavly pokepowers. i would take the moonlight. too many phyic and darke being played. if you want a stADum to help your oppentit put in a speed staudum. if it is slow put in holon circles. to stall until you can builed stuf up.
 
I'm using Moollight Stadium. It's way better than Speed Stadium. I hate cards that depend on coin flips to do what you want it to do.
 
bronzong, aerodactyl, empoleon is decent, i've played it a little, it's not too consistent though, i'd say either omastar or dusknoir is the best tech
 
why would u put duskinoir in a damage spread deck??? It defeats the whole purpose...yeah its great for disruption but you want to keep damage on everything and snipe...then drop omastar and wager........who cares if u lose the wager cuz then u take like 2-3 prizes and u have an empoleon to hopefully take more

Quite ok, and similar to my Pokémon lines, but I played 3 Empoleon MD and used some techs and one Phione instead of the third Pachi for problematic starts.

- Take out the PlusPowers. You don't need them very often in a damage spread deck and take lots of space.
- With out Phione, some more Pokémon searches in addition to Bebe could be good to make a consistent start. Add 1 or 2 Celio's network.
- Scott is too slow in this deck.
- Moonlight Stadium will help any Gardevoir deck more then it helps your deck. Adding a second Warp Point should be more useful. Lake Boundary is the same. Bronzong KOs any Gardevoir or Gardevoir Lv.X with Scramble Energy and twice the body. It very important that it can survive one turn except for a Psychic Cut on three prize cards, but if you play Lake Boundary, you destroy this ability. Empoleon OHKOs any fire Pokémon (exspecially Magmortar) no matter what.
- Stadiums to go are Battle Frontier or Dawn Stadium. Battle Frontier would help against Garchomp which is a tough Matchup, and block some random Delcatty decks (I faced 3 at Nationals lol), Dawn Stadium is useful against G&G but also helps Leafeon decks.

3 Scramble and 3 DRE are better. You really need them for Bronzong. I also suggest playing Call Energy to get a better start if you don't have Pachirisu.

Hope this will help you.


<-- 2nd place German Nationals with Empoleon/Bronzong/Claydol
 
Thank goodness for *Article Included*!

I personally wouldn't play any DP Empoleon. It isn't as good as the new one. The bench hit of 40 can be helpful, but in the long run its not worth it, IMO.
 
I have come to a CONCLUSION on Both Empos. Empo DP works Well with Cess, and Empo MD works well with a Set-up/Power deck. MY Quicko Empo deck did BAD yesterday at BRs. I lost BOTH matches due to time, but More times than NOT, I wished I would have had a couple Empo DPs. I would Run 2/2 of Each, and just TRY it out, that is MY plan!
 
Yes that is true. Cuz, you need Claydol sometimes to get out your basics.

So, what should I do? I'll use:
1 Empoleon DP
2 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon Lv.X
 
3 MD 1 Lv X.
The Lv X is really good now, as you can play wager, Supreme Command, then snipe their benched Claydol for 80 and greatly hinder their recovery from said wager.
And just play the MD Empoleon because it is flat out better. There will be times when you draw into Empoleon DP and you'll be like "Man, I wish this was the MD one...". It happened to me all the time when I played it like that.
 
lol, I used the same deck on Saturday's Battle Road. Got 3rd. : )

Run four Battle Frontiers, no Scott or other Stadiums, one more Scramble and DRE, two more Warp Points, 2-3 Call Energies, remove the DP Emp for an MD Emp, two more Wager, make all the Piplups be the same ones (preferably the berry one).

After that . . . you should be just about set. lol
 
I would add a 1-1 or 2-1-2 line of Omastar. You spread a lot of damage, with omastar you can win a game you already lost.
 
Omastar wouldnt be a bad idea. Perhaps an added 1-1 Aerodactyl will speed up the Power Hating with Bronzong, or use 1-0-1 Ampharos to spread even more when they play supporters
