I would suggest Pichu PK because he has cry for help which can get a electric Pokemon so that you can set up Raichu and Electivire.
 
Doesn't help consistency. I'd rather use Mentor and Celio to get stuff out of the deck. Plus, it takes away from that T1Chu thing we want to get going.
 
Well, this deck needs to be FAST! We can not wait that extra turn. by then, lucario can be up and koing and what do we have? No Raichu, no energy and we probably will lose.

We would rather have the candy to evolve ASAP then wait a turn.
 
Candy is pretty necessary. We need the turn 1 Raichu more than anything else. With Mario and Fighting looking to be major types in the next format, we really need to be able to get as much energy into play as quickly as possible.
 
are you all forgeting that trainers are no longer T1...so much for starting the game and opening with a rare candy

bullados, how much more effective is this new deck against the old flygon-electivire build?

IMO, this build seems faster, but will probably falter a little in the endgame.

Flygon will be much slower, but will be stronger in the endgame.

Outside of those wide generalizations, I have no idea. I haven't really had the chance to playtest with this enough to really tell how it'll work against a competitive deck...

IMO flygon is much better. it has flygon ex d that will defeat MARIO and has high HP and good attack. and flygon energy acceleration is a POWER not an ATTACK.
 
What energy acceleration are you talking about?

Even if we can't turn 1 candy, we are fast enough.

FOR THOSE PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT MARIO...
WE OHKO MARIO. (period)

:lol: Funny.....

There's one card

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Mr Mime could really help in the Fighting type Matchups.
Mr.Mime L.33 – Psychic – HP70
Basic Pokemon

Poke-Body: Air Wall
This body works when Mr.Mime is attacked by an opponent’s Pokemon that has 2 or less Energy attached to it. Prevent all damage from the attack. If Mr.Mime is Evolved from Mime Jr., also prevent any other effects from the attack.

[P][C] Trick Play: Without letting your opponent see, place a coin next to your Active Pokemon and cover it with your hand. Your opponent guesses whether the coin shows heads or tails. If your opponent guesses wrong, the Defending Pokemon takes 50 damage. If your opponent guesses right, Mr.Mime does 20 damage to itself, and don’t apply Weakness or Poke-Bodies when doing this damage.

Weakness: Psychic (+20)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

Well it actually helps more on the Mario matchup. Here's Why I think its good in here... well first if you have Lake Barrier in play , it kos any lucario if your opponent guesses wrong and if you ko it and they try to send that Machamp with only one energy well it cant actually do any thing can it :biggrin:. And well it also obligates your opponent to put more energy on his pokemon and well Cessation Crystal If they wanna get trough Mr Mimes PokeBody and if they do put in cessation Crystal well thats Just a plus for Electavire Lv. X 's attack.

Just a thought.

This deck is auto loss against a good Mario unless some amazing tech is discovered, Mario is just too fast. Laying and spreading damage super quick while stopping powers like DF Buzz and vire with CC not to mention the weakness aswell. Yes if they get out vire x while you have CC out then your screwed for a bit but chances are they'll be dead way before then.

P.S. Mr.Mime can be shut off by CC
 
The worst thing about Mario is the speed. If we get faster or if they mess up, we would win.

How do you think that they stop our powers? CC. What does Electivire Lv. X do if CC is out? DISCARD IT and Electivire can't be attacked next turn.

I don't think that you can see that Electivire DP does 120 damage! That OHKOs almost anything in the deck. And we have plus power. But if Electivire Lv. X is active when they attach 1 energy to Lucario, 1 Plus Power and we ohko them. So, it isn't really an auto loss. Just like a 40-60.
 
Against Mario? Hope that we can outspeed them. That's just about it. Also, hope they don't have Lake Barrier in play, cuz that would completely screw us over.

I'm still trying to decide if Raichu or Flygon is the play for Electivire. Once Ampy comes out, though, there is no question as to what the second line should be in a Vire deck...
