What is a good amount of Empoleon DP/MD and Lv. X for an Empoleon Omastar deck with Phione/call energy.
 
EmpoStar with Phione huh?

Well, personally i like this structure:
2 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon DP
1 Empoleon Lv.X

but many will disagree with that
 
as of now because I don't have 3 prinplup my pokes look like this

3 Piplup MD
2 prinplup DP
3 Empo MD
1 Lvl x

3 phione

1/1 fossil -star
 
4 Piplup DP
3 Prinplup DP
3 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon Lv.X

2 Phione

2 Helix fossil
1 Omanyte
2 Omastar
2 Fossil Excavator

2 - 2 Claydol

This has been my most solid Empo-star line up.
 
Hmm... I'd go with...

4 Piplup DP
1 Prinplup DP
1 Prinplup MD - in case you end up with just DRE in your hand with this.
2 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon DP
1 Empoleon LV.X
 
i go this route

4 piplup DP
3 prinplup DP
3 empoleon MD
1 empoleon DP

3 helix fossil MD
2 omanyte MD
2 omastar MD
1 omastar PK

i feel empoleon lv x has very limited uses as the damage spreading ability of the MD empoleon far surpasses the DP and lv x one. hand control is nice but the attack isnt good enough to take the place of another regular empoleon. the DP is in there as a tech, mainly for aqua jet as i wont risk damaging my bench plus the possible 20 damage is nice (rarely use this however).

i like this thick omastar line because 1)it increases my chances of drawing a basic 2)it decreases the chances of omanyte being prized when a attach a water energy to helix fossil (used to run 2-1-2 and i hated having a prized omanyte) and 3)omastar PK (tech that i use more often than the omastar MD oddly enough) is extremely flexible. pull down for one colorless energy (works extremely well with call energy) seems almost unfair. plus if i need to hit hard i can drop a scramble on him for 70 in extremely (EXTREMELY) desperate situations.
 
I think that the best would be:

4 Piplup DP
2 Prinplup DP
3 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon Lv.X

You could play 1 empoleon DP if you think you need that extra 10 damage from his first attack, but i personally prefere the MD empo.
Empo lv.X it a really nice sniper. He could kill your opponent's claydol and earn you your last prize.

For omastar i'd go like this:

2 Helix(if you could afford to play 3 it would be better, but space is a bit tight sometimes)
2 Omanayte
2 Omastar MD
1 Omastar PK

Playing a fossic excavator could help in getting that Helix fossil, but it's not necessary)

and playing 3 SSU could be really helpful.

And then for phione:

3 Phione
3 Call
3 Roseanne's

i don't like playing 4 call since you won't need it after the first few turns.

That is a basic idea of how to play empoleon.

I have to say, 3 Empoleon MD, 1 Empo Lv. X, 3 Prinplup Dp, and 4 Piplup Dp,No Question! That is the Best line I have experimented with!
