This works mostly like any other gardevior deck out there. Early on, get out dunsparce. The reason I have hypno in there is so when my gardevior lays an energy, using it's power, I can move the two damage counters onto my benched slowbros. THen when they become close to knock out, I just briney them to my hand and lay them back down. This way, I don't have to run much healing at all. Energy recycle system is to get back the energy in my deck when I need it, so I can search for it again.

Please critique and remember, this is for the modified that is just coming up after worlds.

EDIT: I agree that wobbuffet/wynaut is probably the best fit with GEX, but I'd like to try this too. SO I guess I can make a decklist for both.

Yeah, TRUK's right, Prime. You said RS-FRLG in your title, not thru COGS. Boost is in COGS, not FRLG, so you'll have to change that. And as for the deck, pokemon are still going to work the same way, no Slowbro, no Milotic, no Gorebyss.

4 Ralts
3 Kirlia
2-3 Gardy
2-3 Gardy ex
3 Wynaut
3 Wobbuffet
2 Dunsparce

is what I see happening in RSon, since Fan Club's gone, you're gonna need Dunsparce as possible searching.

I don't think so really. I could be wrong, but heck this is just an idea I came up with. I mean, when you have out slowbro, and use gardevior's power, you can then move the damage to slowbro and in the end, the pokemon that got the energy never actually took any damage for it. After a few powers, you can then briney the slowbro back to your hand and in most cases, your pokemon will be fully healed. But maybe I am trying too hard on the healing. Maybe instead of running the hypno, I could just run some extra healing like potion.

Any opinions?

EDIT: The reason I don't want to play wobbuffet is because in the set FR/LG, there is a gym that shuts down all pokemon with 70HP or less, their pokepowers, meaning that wynaut cannot evolve into wobbuffet. Meaning that you can't lay boost on wobbuffet, one of the best things to do.

Either way, I was just trying to find a different way to play GEX.

Superwooper, as for "fan club replacement", couldn't Masterball or something do the trick? That way you can do a little damage or put something to sleep on your first turn. Sayonara!
 
auuuuhhhh :rolleyes:

umm yea it is tyranitar... when fr lg comes out that is

and thats what this deck is based off of, when the other cards rotate out
 
Sorry but nintendo could put in the set like they did when they put the three pokemon(totodile,cyndaquil and chikorita) in HL. :D :p

I'm just not seeing this.

No Wynaut/Wobbuffet in a Gardevoir deck? I understand you want to be different or whatever, but if it's popular, there's a reason for it. You're not even doing Dunsparce/Jirachi. Let's see, you can hope to draw your evolutions, or... Wally's Training? You aren't kidding when you talk about being out of the game. :(

I'm thinking the upcoming Modified version would look something like this...

Pokemon ~ 21

4 Ralts
3 Kirlia
2-3 Gardevoir (Your call)
2-3 Gardevoir ex (Your call)
3 Wynaut
3 Wobbuffet
3 Dunsparce

Trainers ~ 23

4 Steven's Advice
4 TV Reporter
2 Professor Oak's Research
3 Whoever's Network (I don't remember whether there was an ex stipulation or not)
3 Rare Candy
3 Switch
2 Energy Recycle System
2 Stadium (Your choice, I'd say Magnetic Storm just as a decent counter gym)

Energy ~ 16

12 Psychic
4 Double Rainbow Energy

Of course, I tend to base my deck fixes on my metagame, which has enough status to warrant three Switches.

In any case, you should definitely consider Wynaut/Wobbuffet. Wobbs'll rule against those 300 HP Blisseys one day. :)
 
Yes but a simple gym takes out the whole wynaut-wobbuffet line. In the next set, there is a gym that shuts down all pokemon with 70HP or less with powers. So what happens? Wynaut can't use it's power to eolve into wobbuffet and thus you have to play wobbuffet as a basic, which really sucks. I am trying to be original, I'm not saying this will be the new archetype, but I tell ya, atleast I am trying to be original and add something new to these decks when everyone is just trying to turn the deck back into the same old GEX deck. Maybe the same old GEX deck is good, but if nobody experiements, nobody can say if any new ideas are better than the original. SO many people are unoriginal, don't want to try anything new. I'm gonna defintely try this out and it might work, but for everyone else, you can try my deck when it does do well in a big tournament, if it does, because that's the only time people will.

And yes, I did use dunsparce, 4 of them to be exact.

EDIT: Wally's Training will be the card to play. Sure, you can use that card that lets you go get any pokemon, but it doesn't allow you to go get a EX-Pokemon and thus you have to search for it in other ways. My main attacker is a EX pokemon and thus when I need to go get it, I can active my kirlia, and wally and evolve right there. THis card is SO underrated that it is scary. And heck, the other card might be better. But to flame me for using it, in which it does have a few qualities that make it better than the new card coming out, is just wrong.

Nobody flamed you. I was just saying you don't seem to have any definite way to get the evolutions out, except for mass drawing. I agree, Wally's Training can be a good card, but just two of it in a deck won't cut it.

Notice I said no Dunsparce/Jirachi, not implying that you don't use Dunsparce, which is obvious from it being on your decklist, but implying that you do not use the combination of Dunsparce and Jirachi.

And once again, popular decks in this game are popular for a reason. They work. That's why there's the "standard decklist" for these decks. The things that work. You want to fight the system or whatever, use other Pokemon that haven't even been looked at. Show someone the potential of underrated cards. Everyone knows Gardy works, and everyone has found what is most likely the best way to use it to full effectiveness. To change that for the sake of being different lowers the effectiveness of the deck, typically.
 
True, it's popular for a reason. But without anyone experiementing, no other ideas will even be considered. And it seems to me that nobody will even consider new ideas until the deck comes rampaging through modified. That's a stupid way of playing the game. Try it now, don't wait for it to beat you in a tournament before you start playing it.

But that is just my opinion.
 
I like new ideas too Prime but you must not lose to much speed or destroy completly your srategy doing them . In the end whatever deck you have you must see it compare it with other decks and then use creativity is nice as long as you use cards that work good together.

Your first deck provlem is one speed slowbro combo and as good as it looks because in the end it may be costly . You can use him if you want but you must try to balance speed with slowbro power he isn't really good though since Ohkos are alot in this format , if you want to keep him add winuat wobb or dansparse jirashi or chimecho and a few dansparse
 
Well if it were me I'd take and put some nurse in for slowbro. Basicly you move damage to slowbro and then use nurse like in the old stall decks but with out the stall part if you know what I mean.

*sigh* yup you missed the point alright. There are those that actually like to make new decks and not copy others. They defy current wisdom and see what happens. They might have a bad idea, but they tried something new. Try it yourself sometime.
