the deck would get creamed because there is no other energy type other than fire, so basically, the deck would'nt stand a chance against any water types.

Can you explain me why?
Perhaps this build has lesser chances against a water deck, but the general opinion that a Infernape deck looses from a water deck is not true.

We used the first part of BR, infernape and won against many many water decks.
Each deck has weak spots, which is not always because of the weakness towards a type.

At the end of BR, all Kingdra decks disappeared overhere, because they got beaten over and over again.
I don't know what City's will bring, but as long there are creative people willing to use something else as the "general confirmed best deck" the metagame will switch.
 
fix your attitude

your asking for help from people that know what they are talking about and you refuse to listen and treat them like idiots, i know a lot about infernape, my list is tremendously better than yours and i would still have a slim chance of WINNING a tournament with it

you snap at me for suggesting, uxie lvl x, i never said that and even if i did i wouldn't use it i was just graciously trying to accomidate your stubborn attitude


-1/0/1 tyhlosion
-1 marley's

+ 2 cynthia's (get's cards)
+1 stark mountain ( moves energy)

i'd also find a way to add in a starting method, (pachi etc) you need a precise and consitent setup

if you have played infernape long enough you should know that speed isn't a factor, dre is gone, you want to setup you are trying to ohko everything not rush your opponent, you need a thourough setup

typhlosion makes sense i just see it as too many pokemon to compete with serious players, it makes the deck inconsistant it takes up space and these are factors that give speed decks an advantage,

chriscobi is a smart man he's right if you want to use phlosion drop a heatran line you cant go to a 16k cities with an inconsistant deck

+1 azelf you need it get it case closed

your list looks better man but don't be so arrogant when you speak to people just because your safe behind your computer, if you had won or done well in any tournies between last years regs and now you would already have claydols so you cant really bluff anyone

be nice

I meant in the deck -_-
My attitude is none of your concern...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I know quite a bit about this as well... It's actually the only deck I've played in a long time...

When most people say "Uxie Engine", they mean a 2-1 line...

I really don't have any of the cards you mentioned (unless Stantler counts as a starting method...) and as I have made clear, $$$ = 0...

if you have played infernape long enough you should know that speed isn't a factor, dre is gone, you want to setup you are trying to ohko everything not rush your opponent, you need a thourough setup

How's a full season for "long enough"? Yeah, I thought so... However, I agree with your point there...

I'm not trying to bluff ANYONE... Also, Between Regs and now, I've gone to only one tournament because the rest were WAY too far away... Yeah, I already mentioned why I can't get Azelf...

be nice

comments in bold

Now I have no idea what to do about Heatran and Typhlosion... They're both equally important... Dropping a Heatran line would slow down my attacks, dropping Typhlosion slows my energy attachment... It's just too much to pick between... I guess I'll try your idea for a bit...

You can borrow some Claydols when you have to play...

That's not an option for several reasons...
 
Pachis can be gotten for $1 each, so yeah, i don't think money is a concern there... >_>

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Oh, and fix you attitude.

And have you ever heard of trading???

I have exactly $0... Also, I wouldn't have anything anyone would want...
 
...In exchange for ticking off my mom and losing eBay previleges for a month, she got me:
  • 4 Chatot MD
  • 1 Azelf LA
  • 2 Cynthia's Feelings
  • 2 Call Energy
  • 2 Rayquaza LA

And I don't have to pay a cent... so there... I'll try to fit those in somewhere...

matchups? i would like to see them

getting match-ups will take a bit (they WERE up, but the deck changed to the point that they were inaccurate...)

...My mom's like that... I asked her for Chatot since it was 8 for $1 US, she told me to find at least $20 CAN worth of cards and she'd pay for them... but she declined Claydol, and I forgot about TM-TS1... :nonono:

Anyways, is there anything left to fix?

thx, sry for the rush. list is solid for what you show to have.
 
rayquaaza's a good idea

try this because i know it works:

be nice to people, treat them with respect, don't act like your better than people when you're not, and people will either give you the cards you need because there are always people in the pokemon world who are blessed with rich parents and have no problem being generous to their friends, or at the very least if you learn to make friends with people they will let you borrow cards you need, if you are in juniors or seniors, it should be no problem getting masters to give or lend you cards you need, people are nice i can tell why you might not have experienced it personally but if you want help (since you can't do it alone) just be nice and make friends, it helps if you go to more than 1 tourney so you actually know the people in your area

i like the list i would try a fighting infernape tech, it will mildy improve your kingdra matchup, as well as killing tyranitar and raichu, and all you have to do is level up to use heatran's power on it so overall it's good

if you say no because you can't get it than just delete your thread it's ignorant to even post a deck if you cant make any changes people suggest because "you can't afford the cards" if you want people's help your going to have to expect to make changes

I think "I lost my eBay privileges" sums it up nicely... (it was just a few posts up...) Besides, I just don't like the :fighting: one... (If I did, I would have bought one instead of the :fire: Infernape...) plus, I never said I was better than any of you... (if I thought that, I wouldn't even post my decks here...).

Also, don't just order me around there, that's mean too...

I will get match-ups soon...

BTW, I just got put in Masters this year... (there IS a link, it's right there! *points to signature*)

One last thing, I've experienced random gifts a few times, I'm much more pleasant in person...

I think the fighting type isn't helped by Heatran lv.X, because the Power says that the power may be used if the basic energy cards were attached to a Fire or Metal type Active Pokemon, then 2 of those used enegies can be reattached; and since the fighting type Infernape isn't Fire or Metal type, the synergy just isn't there. That's how it seems to me, but I could be reading this wrong.

Also, I appreciate that many deck builds are constrained by available money that can be spent to improve a deck; but I am interested to know what the best build for this deck would be. What deck would you build if you could?

He means that I should level up that particular Infernape into LV. X every time it comes out...

Anyways, you asked so my answer is that I honestly have no idea... If I had 2 TM Evoluter and Devoluter, I would put in 2 of each to help me out, I would also try for some Sableye and 4 Level MAX when it comes out, but then there's a space issue (which won't stop me from adding Level MAX)... to be perfectly honest, the only way I can find to improve this deck is by breaking the 60-card limit, which isn't allowed... I've looked around, and most people also play similar decks with no Cynthia and with Claydol in there... I don't see too much room for improvement, but then again, I'm still here asking for help so there must be something to add somewhere...
 
Added match-ups, still more of those to come. Updated Strategy. Could someone at least tell me if the deck is good enough for Cities?
