Darkrai Lvl. X

[Ignatious]

u RARELY would attack with it should be used mostly for it's body.

The "HP Bar" right now is at 130:
Gallade
Gardy Lv. X
Magmortar Lv. X or Magmortar with Buffer Piece
Blissey
Gator

What could OHKO all of these with the help of Weavile (SW) and Darkrai Lv.X?
Garchomp, yes I know that it's weak to Blissey but when you can OHKO them it's not that big of a deal.

Pachurisu as your starter, retreat turn 2, use Weavile, power up your bench Garchomp, or what ever you have going of that line and attack turn 3 for at least 110, if your having problems getting your Darkrai Lv.X out.

I've already tested this idea. It doesn't work, or at least my version didn't. It requires too much deck space, as there are too many lines. You need your Starter (Pachirisu), your attacker (Garchomp), your secondary attacker (second Garchomp), second starter (Weavil), and whatever you want to classify Darkrai as. You have to hope your weavil doesn't get one hitted, because you have no supporting pokemon that draws your cards, so quickly replacing a defeated pokemon is not a simple task.

The deck just needs so much, to do so little.. When I first thought of it, it seemed awesome, but it could never work the way needed to in order to be teir 1.

the only real problem i have right now is getting the Darkrai Lv. X out by turn 3. Everything else does fall into place by that turn even if i don't start with Pachu, but he does make it more consistent. Currently I'm running 2-2 on Weavile, but usually find myself having to Celio for it. I know that if I increase it to 3-3 it will increase the Darkrai Lv. X efficiency by T3.

It dosent matter if u attack with it or not,IT DIES TO QUICKLY FROM MAGMORTAR and gallade runs through your deck anyway.Its a dead weight card Mewtwo LvX FTW

 

[PokePockets]

A dead weight eh? That's ok, this isnt the deck i will be playing for States. Gallade is already screwed that i dont think we will see alot of it. But anyway Mewtwo Lv.X isnt that great, and this card is alot better then your giving it credit for.

people need to understand that anytime Magmortar Lv. X hit's something that isn't the main pokemon it benefits your opponent. Not to mention a basic LV.X is much easier to recycle that any other LV.X.

Gallade runs through what deck?

If your to worried about Magmortar LV.X then don't play PTCG cause it can OHKO a lot of stuff.

 

[Water Mewtwo]

will it be affected by aggron ex's pokebody (intimidating armor)

 

[Muk Man]

I guess everyone forgot that we have premier ball.
so If you start first withh darkrai and then turn 2 level up and attach the second dark you can/will hit for 60 and double sleep flip...and 2 tails is a ko by the way. SO even it has a low hp it has the abiliy to KO anything in between turns!!!!!!
Also dont forget with premier ball and celios network. Darkrai has the ability to DONK a lot of players.
I'm thinking darkrai with crystal beach. Take early prizes and never look back

 

[JokerBoi]

His body is nice, but the thing is he is lvl.X because who is seriously going to waste their time sending him active and then benching him? If lvl. X could be leveled up on the bench this game would be a lot easier.

 

[Water Mewtwo]

I have the darkrai lvl x and i think you could mix it with the weavile that turns pokemon into dark type and moonlight stadium to make say an empoleon have 0 retreat cost and do 10 extra damage per dark energy. (you could always make another lvl x dark type)

does intimidating armor affect darkria lvl. x?

 

[Naki Feralkin]

The only things Darkrai are even viable with will all falter to the same thing.

Gallade.

Unless people can find some way to make Togekiss work with Darkrai, any chance he might have in masters is slim atm. I'm not saying he is bad, but the format is the format. Wigglytuff/Darkrai? Fighting weak. Sure, it can keep the opponent locked, but also relies on a stadium for the combo to work. Blissrai? Powerful potential, but suffers immense fighting weak. With LX on the field, Gallade doesn't even need waste a prize and can go to town on all the Blissey's.

Powerful. But totally not in this format.

Overhyped. Overpriced.

Does Anybody Know If Intimidating Armor Affects Darkrai Lvl X

IM not worried bout Magmortar,if I did,I wouldnt play Banette still. Magmortar and Gallade are the top 2 decks in the format now,Im just saying from what you will be facing when in the top cuts and top rounds(when u get passed the easy people).

Gallade runs through Darkrai/Weavile/Blissey or Delcatty or Garchomp. Once it kills the first attacker,it can run through the second one pretty easliy too since Blissey is weak Delcatty is weak and it wont take much to kill Garchomp.

Yea it may be easy to recycle but if most of your attackers are gone,why would u need it since u wont attack with it anyway right?

Magmortar isnt the only thing. Gallade/Honchkrow LvX can do enough to it for KO range with Darkness Wing. Vire/Gatr MT I

f you cant attack with it,it isnt that useful then.All im saying

i'm not doing the back and forth with you. you can jusr keep thinking that Darkrai Lv X is bad.

IM not saying its bad,IM saying it has terrible matchups against snipers and power hitting decks. Never said it wouldnt be a fun deck or a playable,just pointing out the flaws.

So its no back and forth,just an opinion :/

 

[Rashad]

magmortar sucks why keep brings up a card that is going to keep getting knocked out its not bad its just to darn even with weavile. Look weavile one turn putting 2 dark energies on a pokemon. Need to play alot of switches to pull this off. Then pulling out the darkrai level x just ru n it with blissey or pidgeyot these are the best options in my opinion.

He's not bad, not by any means. If he were here last format where Holon Engine lived and Gardevoir Gallade was not tearing up the format, then he would most definitely be powerful.

What you have to understand is in a meta heavily dominated by fighting types, you can't just go into a tournament with a pure fighting weak deck and hope to win. Grass types were boned last season by Metanite, even with Flariados being in format. Darkrai and Blissey, while powerful, cannot hope to fare well against the terror known as GG.

To beat this meta, you have to be consistant enough to take care of the strongest deck in format, as well as the guys who will show up despite it. I have no doubt Darkrai will make an appearance, he just won't be as notable as GG. Cresselia is probably gonna be much more widely seen than Darkrai.

Darkrai+DRE?

Sorry,

Am I missing something here? Can you not put a DRE under Darkrai LvX? With the fishing engine and a few premier balls, it's not to tough to get Darkrai working quite quickly.

Sure, you don't do much damage to the active with the DRE in place, but what if you drop a Moonlight stadium and then bring up Rayquazza Ex for some sniping while the active is asleep?

Somebody disabuse me before I spend the time to build this...

 

[fchangus2]

no, you can't put DRE on Darkrai LvX because it's a leveled-up BASIC. It is not considered to have "evolved"
