machamp should win the matchup just because of the fact there isnt a way to remove bubble coat lol
Well, that's like the worst argument ever. Why don't we all start using Pinsir and do 100 for 2 as long as we flip 2 heads?
So in other words, you're going to slowly kill yourself in order to have a 50/50 chance of doing damage. I'd much rather use Luxray who is guaranteed to do 100 damage, possibly 150 if they have lv. x's in play, and for only three energy. He doesn't even have to have Magnezone since he can still attack every other turn by utilizing his first attack and still have time to attach to the bench. Magnezone helps of course, but is not required.
Yeah I would think Amu would have a chance. Amu can get set up faster and has the power of weakness. Also amu can get T1 donks I think or come close to it. I'm not use what machop's HP and weakness is and the normal sprites attacks are but they can do a lot of damage probaly. Also everyone was saying that kingdra would rarly get the horsey, candy, kingdra energy donk yet kingdra is really built more for consitency than machamp does so why will machamp get it all the time, or around T2 or 3.
I'm very interested in seeing the Champ vs AMU matches play out, but I very much doubt that it will be better than 45-55 one way or the other & that 50-50 is pretty darn likely. DarthPika is right in that weakness is a big problem for the Chops & Chokes on the way up ... and that it's not automatic that Champ is going to start with the magic Chop, Candy, Champ, Energy hand. On the other hand Chomp is faster energy wise & might be able to get out a Bubble Coat.
Just IMHO AMU looks to be bit more consistant & able to set up fast every time more easily ... while Champ looks like it has a more variable setup time but has the edge once it gets it going .
I can do 120 damage with a Lake Boundary and 2 energy. I don't see any reason I would even need to use God Blast against a Machamp deck.... lol
Champ is... slow. Too slow. Turn one, AMU can likely get out all 3 non-Lv. X sprites. Turn 2, you get up 2 Lv. X, 3 if you have Warp Point and can get them.
Darthpika: Try reviving Hurricane, heh. Bronzong IFDS + Gatr is pretty amazing.

I've been working on that one. lol
Finally with plox mostly gone Hurricane could stand a chance. :biggrin:

Bubble Coat – Pokemon Tool
The Pokemon this card is attached to has no Weakness.
At the end of the turn when the Pokemon this card is attached to is damaged by an opponent's attack, discard this card. Attach Pokemon Tool to your Pokemon. It can't be attached to a Pokemon that already has a Pokemon Tool attached.
