MY NAME'S NOT EVEN JEFFREY!! :mad:

Caterpie, why is Mew EX good with baby bop Garbodor? I can't see it, but maybe it's cause I have a Tepig between my legs (he's a plushie, lol :lol:)

It's, what I hope, to be a very sarcastic post. You can't even use Mew EX when Garbador is out......
 
Is it me or is storm and Jeffrey sound exactly the same.. As in the same person. They talk like white boys that watched too many Tyler perry movies no offense to Tyler perry whatsoever.

I was assuming Nugget, jefferey, and storm are all the same person. Or conjoined triplets or something. Can't rule out the possibility of a human hivemind either, i suppose.
 
Perhaps he means using another...oh, I get it now. That silly Caterpie. Well, the main thing is finding a partner for Garbodor. Zebra comes to mind, but anything better possibly?

Because you refuse to give your own thought on it I will give mine. Garbador has a nice ability. But his hp is horrible, his retreat cost makes him an amazing catcher fodder, and his typing, in this format, is bad as well. I have already stated how i see him.

I have always liked Zebtrika, but i always wished the attack was on a beefier Basic pokemon. Again he has the same pitfalls as Garbador in a sense. Stage 1, low hp, and bad typing (because of the low hp.) And his attack, which is obviously the only reason you run him, simply does not do enough damage. By the time he would get close to KO'ing something he'd long be dead with his low hp. The item lock is nice, but it's not enough to run him, IMO.

*ADDENDUM*
While he does have no retreat cost and you could lock for a turn which can be crucial in the early game, and then promote a bigger attacker, I still don't think that would work either. It would just be too many resources to maintain your stream of Eelektrik, big basics, and Zebstrika. That is assuming he isn't OHKO'd and you are even able to retreat him at all. I really, really wish he was playable.

For one energy you can move all of your energy around to your garbodor powering up his attack faster than you can say trash bag.

Now I KNOW you are being sarcastic. Why on earth would you waste 2 prizes to do 60 damage?

How about with cofagrigus DEX? Ran with max tools of all kinds, tool scrapper becomes more or less useless. Could even be worked with sableye to get tools out of the discard for cofa's attack.

If Junk Arm was still legal then it could have been a viable deck, but with the only recursion for items being Sableye and the fact you need a tool on Garbador, I don't see it having longevity. You would get a nice hit out, then be stuck with two useless pokemon. And again, low hp, stage 1, bad typing.
 
Garbodor will probably win about half of the Fall Regionals. I don't think most people realize how clutch Trubbish's Garbage Collection is in getting a consistent setup for the deck. Most people are way off on what to partner Garbodor with. Hopefully people can show restraint though and not play the secret garbage deck at battle roads so it can remain a surprise for regionals.

^ These two know where its at.
We should stop talking about this so it doesn't get too popular at BRs
 
That's it Ashton Kutcher just told me I got punk'ed. Good one jeffrey123, nugget, storm07, politoed666' charranitar, and can't leave out randomcaterpie!
 
I for one plan to be running 3-4 Tool Scrappers in my decks for the BW-on format, regardless of Garbador's presence. Good-bye Evolites, Large Cloaks, etc. Hell, it's kinda like a double Plus Power if you think about it. Discarding those Evolites and Large Cloaks means you don't have to worry about the 20 extra damage you would've had to do otherwise.

So yeah, like many others, I'm skepticle about what impact Garbador will have. Granted, trainer lock from Zebstrika or Gothitelle (totally murdered the spelling) could help, but both are easily countered. In a Scrapper-rampant format, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Even IF Garbador made a surprise slash in the metagame, people will just up their Scrapper and Skyla count, anyways.
