How Play my Metanite against BanDoom?

[THE_MUMMY]

Is so hard to beat BanDoom with Metanite, they disable your powers and non-supporter trainer. Someone know wath is a good tech against BanDoom or in what I should focus when playing against that deck.

Thanks.

Keep you bench small, and don't fall into a doom lock. If you avoid it, your taking 2 prizes every 3 turns whilst they're taking 1 every 2. Basically focus on the Metagross and you should be fine. Some people play Scepy ex δ too.

attack with dragonite as well, mostly early on in the game
but, mostly follow kempley's advice

So 1 Metagros d Active and 1 Dragonite Benched and other Gross benched is the ideal playfield?

Depends entirly on what the Bannette player has out. Basically less focus on the Castforms, more on the fast Metagross as a draw engine. You'll figure out in-game what the best bench to have is.

LatiLock

^that works too
i would recomend a metagross d active, dragonite d and metagross dx benched

 

[THE_MUMMY]

I dont use Metagross DX

Best setup in a bandoom match:


Active metagross δ
Benched sceptile ex
Benched dragonite δ

If you can afford to add another dragonite do so but you rarely will be able to have 3 pokemon on the bench.

 

[PSYCO829]

^do that

IMO latilock is better than keeping your bench small

Theres the age old issue of space though, it all depends on how crucial a matchup Boom is in your area.

Put on E4 shades and fold, but still if you keep 1 draggy on bench you wont be able to fully power up a metagross(2 energies a turn?) While banny can do 90 T3ish and 110 with the shady move+Stenghth charm combo Ko'ing a Metagross even with metal on it. Scptile isnt really problem one more energy isnt to tough to get around, though it may cause a problem after you KO a banny and i have no banny left.

Latilock shuts down Doom.

Use it.

Watch out for reversals.

Defenatly Lati@sLock!

Lati@sLock!!

Use Latios ex d', then you have a kind of safeguarder too.
Sceppy is also a VERY good choise!

 

[Articjedi]

sceppy would be a good choice if you actually got it out, that's hard under aggressive conditions.

mentor, fearow d
sceptile in one turn
from that point on, bandoom folds because it cannot know out metanite in one turn

 

[fchangus2]

not too many Metanite decks play fearow though

 

[PSYCO829]

the ones that do can do that
the ones that dont... cant
and thus will lose the element of suprise when they try to set him up

 

[Articjedi]

Talk about screwed up bench space. Fearow, sceptile, that leaves room for two draggy one meta and the castform active not being able to candy.
