Klingklang relevance post rotation

[Hunter2hitman]

Just wondering if Klingklang BW/Darkrai will still be a player when rainbow energy gets rotated out. I know blend energy is coming in, but that doesnt help the basis of Klingklang/darkrai's strategy because Dark and Metal are in two different blend energies.
Id like to know some thoughts if this still has a viable shot against some of the top tier decks, or does it become irrelevant without rainbow/prism combo

We would have Hydreigon then.

Klingklang, I think, would have still been relevant had we had Skarmory and Special Metal, but with the rotation, there's nothing that Klingklang can do that Hydreigon can't do better.

Except for survive dragon attacks, but that's a relatively moot point.

Exceppt klingklang still gets one shot by hydregion and rayquazza EX, so it still does not survive most of those either...

Other than Deino being unable to be searched out with Heavy Ball, Hydreigon is pretty much better. If it weren't for Blend Energy, it would be a matter of personal preference.

I was thinking more of Garchomps, but you're right.

Thing is, Hydro has a whole engine and energy accel. Something that Klingklang lacks. More importantly, Hydro has Blend Energy, allowing more techable cards. I wouldn't expect to see much Klingklang at all, BW-on.
