Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

How big will infernape 4/Luxray GL be?

what do you guys think of adding Lake Boundary, Luxray Lv X's Flash Impact + Skuntanks Poison Struction OHKO's Kingdra. Oh and if you add Nintetales, that also OHKOs Flygon,

Lake Boundary is not a good choice. It's totally unsearchable, and against Flygon it's like giving them a heads on an agility flip.

Instead, use Lucario GL. Same thing.
 
Flygon is the best level x in RR

No, it really isn't. It is disruptive, but it's also slow and expensive, and it can't take out the opponent's crucial draw support (Claydol)/undeveloped main attacker unless that Pokemon is a level X, and the turn is number 3 (or two, with Weavile and Broken Time Space, but this is rare). Virtually every deck depends on Claydol; not every deck needs a lv. X to function (in fact, very few NEED one to win). Luxray is more versatile, aids in the KOing of anything, is faster, is supported by an overall better engine, and thus it is the best level X in Rising Rivals.

Hey, well in Jr.s (Canada) Aperay Won. It faced some pretty tough matchups. True its Jr.s but still it does count for something.
 
I think Infernape 4 is the best Lv.X that was released in RR. Seriously, You get to switch and do the 100 damage and everything. It's amazing IMO.

Luxray KO's everything that has water weakness with X2 weakness or Lucario GL's boundary aura.
 
3-1 Ape
2-1 Ray

It's
3-1 Luxray
2-1 Infernape

or 3-1 of both

You just play Lucario GL.

Also, the deck doesn't have space for Skuntank + several stadiums

the deck has room, you can sub the Lucario with Lake Boundary, the deck already plays Galactic HQ and another stadium of choosing. 1 Skuntank doesn't hurt. the base pokemon for the deck are:

3-1 Ape
2-1 Ray
2/3-1 Uxie/Lv.X/Claydol 2-2
1 Bronzong G
1 Lucario GL
2 Crobat G
2 Unown G

how isn't there any room???
 
It needs too many other things.

Your still not explaining your answer" It needs to many other things" or " It dosent have room" isn't even a viable answer since your not explaining your answer.

If you can't explain more detail why, then it is room, your just not trying to make room or don't know what your talking about. Either or.You choose.
 
Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about, but Banette EX does for sure!!!

Look, I'm not gonna give you my list, so saying it needs too many other things is a fine answer for me.
 
Im not asking for your list, and being sarcastic is a great answer. Im asking a simple question, not looking for a complex answer, a simple detailed one.

As long as you admit you don't know, then thats fine. But usually, when you say something, you should be able to confirm it.
 
3-1 Luxray is nice if you can fit it in, as it makes Poke Turn/Bright Look tricks a little easier. Infernape is preferred starter though, so I go with 3-1 Infernape and 2-1 Luxray. It's not a bad decision either way though.

I can find room for a Toxitank line in the deck, plus GHQ. The GHQs do nothing but help the deck. I admit, it's tough trying to fnd space for everything, but that's true of any half decent list.
 
I, also, don't agree with everybody saying 'hurrr, no room!'
...who are the same people that are saying 'I'm not giving you my list, but can't explain my point without one'

Anyways, for the people capable of reasonable disussion:

How is Bronzong working out in the deck? It seems underwhelming.
Also, in what matchups is Lucario relevent? Kingdra? T-Tar? Flygon, if you play Ninetales?

Neither seem like they do too much in the deck.
 
Lucario makes the Kingdra and the Speedrill match-ups pretty much a cake walk. And believe me...there will be beedrill in abundance
 
I am aware what it does against Kingdra...
but how does it help against beedrill?

High Jump Kick x 2 = 100.
High Jump Kick +30 = 80.

Either way, you two hit kill... and Split bomb does LESS to an active Beedrill.
I understand that, with Lucario, you can just add in a crobat (or one earlier split bomb) for the kill... but worth the slot? worth tutoring for? Meh.
