Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Empoleon Making a Comeback?

Emp/Omastar will be common at BRs since its so simple to obtain and to build a 4 4 3 1 Emp MD/Emp X 2-1-2 Omastar line would be so easy to get and work well.
 
He has a whole slew of Partners to work with, MY Favorite as of now is Lapras! I tested with her and Penguin right Before States, at First I Could not find the Perfect line for it, But now I am just running 2 Lapras and a Full line of Empos(4-2-4 or 4-3-4) and it is Simple and Efficient. With 4 Holon WPs, I dont see why any of Mine or anyone elses Empo deck should not do fine against G/G!
 
desperately ill mix my darkrai and empoleon deck which will be:
moonlight stadium + dark engage= free retreat for hydro impact
dark shadow + dark engage = 100 dmg aqua jet and 110 dmg hydro impact
no mantine needed
+ 2-2 wigglys might be good

imagine, a wager + 2 supreme command

Meganium d from DF. *SHOT*
Heck, that's why no one played Empoleon up here in Battle Roads... Wonder if that'll still be the case (...Heh, doubtful. Though Meganium LAUGHS at Omastars)

Holon WP takes care of sonic blade and bring down, which isn't really a problem anyway because I spread damage on THEIR pokemon. Empoleon doesn't really rely on powers, so psy lock isn't that big of a problem. The only attack from GG that hurts is psy cut, and after they OHKO 1 Empoleon, they can't do more than 100 damage. I don't see how the gardy matchup is THAT big of a problem.

As for banette, Empoleon can just snipe the shuppets for 2 Energy which eases the matchup a great deal.

Gatr has a simple solution- Snipe the claydols/delcattys and magnetons and their deck falls apart.

they wouldnt want to one hit with psychic cut, that would be strategically stupid. and you are overlooking the fact that GG's only force isnt attacking. Sure, they obviously have to attack you, but while you are setting up, they can set up twice as fast by Tele-passing.

With WP on empoleon. Empoloen can beat ANY deck in the format. I think that empoleon is sooooo underated.

it is slow. if you run WP, then that means you cant just attatch a quick DRE. you would have to bring out 2 other water energy to use it. which is slow.

Leafeon kills it unless you tech in Magmortar or Infernape. Heck, Leafeon could even run Crystal Beach if it's using Sceptile instead of Boosts and DREs.

Pretty sure Beedrill kills any version of Empoleon, too. One Energy attack + great pre-evolutions + Crystal Beach + Cessation Crystal = advantage.

I tried a lot of different Empoleon builds, and I can't say I felt confident with any of them. Too bad, too.
 
Empoleon with Omastar might turn out to be a very devastating combo. Damage spread + devolve the bench = a bunch of prize. Devolving hurts the GG extra much since they are very addicitve to Rare Candies, in order to keep the speed up. Also DR and Scramble on the bench will be ruined in the process too.

Uhhhhhhh Psychic Lock? Forgetting the staple of PLox?
 
Well obviously, there's a limit of how long you can Psychic Lock. Especially when you 3HKO against 2HKO + 30 to bench (Dual splash + Surf together).

If you ever manage to draw 6 prizes with sole psychic locking, good for you. Even 1 turn break might cost a game.
 
I think Omastar PK Combos Better than MD with Empo, especially if you run Cess. Crystal, and you just need 1 Energy!
