is ape a good deck still

[zovan]

im just wondering if its a good deck because i might use it

 

[Let Fire Fall]

No.

 

[ChubbyChilupa135]

actually it can be based on wat ur metagame looks like... it also depends on the luck of the Infernape player and the luck of his opponenet

 

[meganium45]

Infernape Delcatty is an interesting play in an absol heavy envio, because Delcatty can actually stem the pain the absol causes.

Problem is, Infercatty is a delicate deck, and once it loses a few key pieces, it has to struggle to maintain.

Good deck still, yes. Risky play, definitely.

It depends on your area but yes. It's not the best but it's good.

Believe it or not I have had succes using it with Magmortar, once Mag gets knocked out uyse its Lv. x version to grab those energy you lost, while dishing out 150 hp at the same time. This deck does take time, but I am trying Absol with to get Mag powered up, and Ape to pick up the pieces:thumb:

mca3, once you flare up, then what? its surely not over?

 

[Kenshin's Garde]

ape is still a good deck.

How do you setup a Delcatty or counter cessation crystal? Doesn't Absol + cess just destroy that?

 

[Kenshin's Garde]

u one shot absol.

 

[Skarmbliss]

its the most consistent deck out there but yeah like y all said, Empoleon justs puts out the flame.

 

[bijou29]

ape = its not that good

 

[Let Fire Fall]

u one shot absol.

97% of the format can 1 shot absol.... if it sets up. That's kind of the point of Absol.

 

[mca3]

Well Lordofflareons I am glad you asked, then if I needed to, I would have a powered up Magmortar on the bench ready-to-go, then I will retreat Infernape then put in Mag, just like I said they set each other up!!!:thumb:

 

[gallade]

uh uh unless you think its fast, how about gallade, just use gallade

 

[Lordofflareons]

you think ape will get tougher when pachirisu comes out? i'd think countering cess is all the deck needs with absol dying like that.

 

[Let Fire Fall]

When Pachirisu comes out, Blaziken will overshadow Ape.

 

[Flareon]

1 for 80/140+ or 2 for 90/150+ is kinda good... But ya, the metagame is not very ripe for Ape.

 

[Kenshin's Garde]

its not an autowin if u actually tested the matchup.

 

[Skarmbliss]

no but if you manage to get a T2 infernape against the Empoleon deck with one basic your fine but if you KO the first basic while Pipup is on the bench. The opponent would play a Rare Candy + Scramble + Empoleon against an Infernape and the Infernape deck would struggle severly.
