So i took my own take from G decks.

Pokes:
4 Weavile G
2 Toxicroak G
2 Skuntank G
3 Crobat G
1 Honchkrow G
1 Brongzong G
=13

Supporters:
4 Cyrus
4 Roseanne's Research
4 Buck's Training
2 Professor Rowan
=14+13=27

Stadiums+Trainers:
3 Galactic's HQ
3 Great Ball
1 Luxury Ball
4 Energy Gain
4 Power Spray
4 Poke Turn
1 NM
1 Warp Point
=21+27=48

Energys:
4 Sp. Dark
1 Multi
4 Basic Dark
3 Psychic
=12+48=60

Strategy is to hit hard T2 and take our the key power with Power Sprays.

Very good and stable.
Yet I wouldn't use Honchy because it derails the speed in the deck away from T2 Weavile hits.
 
Hi Ra2xse,

Nice deck. Definitely one of the better Pokémon [SP] builts. With Weavile G consider to run a standard hand refill card over Uxie since it weakens Weavile G. Also consider to run Multi over Rainbow. If you want Poké Turn trade Warp Point and one Power Spray for them and switch out one Crobat G for one tech Bronzong G.
 
So Darthpika, how can this person better their deck so that doesn't happen?

Not bad, but you may want to consider that a good Palkia will run right over this.

Maeby, but i think that best Palkia G deck is power bloc varation, My draw isn't in powers and i can power spray them once a while. I can't see why it couldn't be won, it's just tough. Not easy but tough. Palkia doesn't easily OHKO Weaviles, Weaviles 2HKO Palkia G s (2 Sp Darkness for one in T2 isn't real).

That's really hard actually...

This should beat just about everything else, so I wouldn't worry to much unless you expect to see loads of palkia. If you do, you may want to try a Manetric tech or something to help deal with them.
 
Gigas with supporter draw and Healers is the best way to take this and other G-decks down. Yesterday in States i won the best finnish player in swiss, he was playing Palkia G X/Dialga G X control and i was playing Gigas with 12 supporters and Healers and of course Regice (nice against G-decks...) I'd also had my funny TeCH Blissey PT in the list. (Pokemon shouldn't be taken too seriosly) He had a bad start of course but with Regice i was able to get out his stallers (too big HP) and OHKO his Pixies with Gigaton Punch and deal 20 t Palkia G. Then when he tought that he was going t KO my Gigas i just used 2 Healers during the power block and OHKOed his Palkia G X. Then i just used Switchs and Regice to get the last 2 prizes.

- My point is that Gigas should regenerate it self in this kind of format

(I was 4 th in the tournament after all....)
 
I've been thinking it, but whitout Poketurns it's not so great, and it's just horrible starter, nice to have but i haven't included it yet.
 
I would add in the 4 poke turn and take out a combo of the Buck's Rowan and Looker Your choice. The poke turn lets you recycle the energy gain and power up that same turn while removing all damage from the last one or two attacks.

If you don't want to use the poke turn then I could put in 4 Cynthia's for a combo of those 3 cards. If you are going to let them get taken out might as well get 8 cards our of the deal.
 
I would definatly try to fit in some Poke Turn. They are just crazy good.

It also might be a good idea to add in Bronzong G, Even without the Poke Turns he's a nice tech card.
 
No,no,no.

Play 2 Crobat, 2 Bronzong, and 2 Honchkrow. All different Pokemon in here will help you win the match ups @ States. 1-1 Dialga G Lv.X will make a good home in here.

Play Rainbow instead of Multi +Psychic. Rainbow energy helps a ton when it comes to situations.

No moonlight, you already have a bunch of Pokemon with free retreat or if not. You have Poke-Turn.

Try to play some lookers investigation to bring your strategy to a higher level.

No luxury ball and add in 1 more NM.

I hope that helped!

Good, now for mirror match ups, please power spray the crobat in all or Palkia G (If anybody plays it) so your bench is not trashed. Maybe power spray Bronzong if you know where the game is going.
 
Rowan's and lookers diffrence is that Rowan can keep the power Spray and Looker can't. Moonlights are still going away. Why not Luxury? It's so amaizing card. It can be chanched to any pokemon in the deck.

Or what about Dialga G X variation, it should have an good machup agaisnt Weaviles?

My own have been:

Pokes:
3-1 Dialga G X
2 Crobat G
2 Skuntank G
2-1 Uxie X
1 Azelf LA
1 Brongzong G
1 Toxicroak G
=14

Suppos:
4 Cyrus
1 Bebe
4 Roseanne
3 Buck
2 Looker/Rowan
=14+14=28

Stadiums/Trainers:
3 Galactic's HQ
3 Premier Ball
1 Luxury Ball
4 Energy Gain
4 Power Spray
3 Poke Turn
1 NM
1 TSD
1 Warp Point
=21+28=49

Energys:
4 Sp. Metal
2 Rainbow
4 Basic Metal
1 Psychic
=11+49=60

What happens if you don't have power spray in your hand? What happens if your hand is trash?

Let me explain about Luxury: YOU HAVE ROSEANNE'S to get you more than 1!

I like the Weavile list better. It's more consistent and more beat down.
 
I heard that houndoom LA is a great anti Dialga lockdown card but thats one of those cards that have one use. Personally I would tech in a dialga G line of 1-1 or possibly 2-1 and jsut use him for bench. I do agree with 2 Zong and I owuld lov e to see poketurn. I run a Dialga/Palkia Denial (lockdown as you guys call it) and I run 4 mesprites andhave had a very good run with it.
