LostGar: Does it stand up to the hype?

Stopped reading after you thought Vilegar is a slightly unfavorable match up. Vilegar can't touch Lostgar

Well that was my testing result.
Would you like to share yours?

Vilegar should be able to take a few quick prizes making your other cards live. they most likely played BTS(not to play theory here) and if they didnt then you should be able to yourself making your deck faster overall as they need a few turns to set up

Lostgar is a good deck, and this is a pretty nice article. Good job.
All I have to say is that Omastar isnt a very wise choice of a tech, it would only help in mirror matches and not much else..
Because of all the SP's around, it cant use its power against 50-60% of decks out there. Then, it cant use it against Vilegar alot of the time because you are trainer locked and cant lay down fossils, unless you have it out before your trainer locked, which will almost be never. It can help against decks like Kingdra, Machamp and maybe Donphan, but I dont think its worth at LEAST 3 spots in your deck. Its an interesting thought, but I personally dont think it will work.
I'm also a little skeptical about Gengar SF, you arent supposed to be focused on attacking, but rather hurling into darkness. Im just not sure if you should ever need to be trying to KO anything because from the LostGars Ive played against, you should only be doing one thing: trying to get 6 Pokemon in the Lost Zone

I liked the article and I hope people take some advice on the deck from you.

:lol: :clap: i know what you mean. I have tested it and it is not good because it only works on the bench and it is not worth 3 spaces
 
Not a bad article, my only gripe is that the SF Gengar doesn't belong in a skeleton list. It helps some matchups, but since your goal isn't prizes, it can be moot. I would leave the list with 3 Gengar, and then slide the SF 'gar into the techs section, making 3 Prime or 2 Prime/1 SF a clear choice for the player.

How do you think it would do against T-tar(Prime), if I may ask?
-Thanks

T-tar can be trouble to lostgar.
Omastar helps here, but weakness hurts.
A belted Tyranitar is going to be hard to deal with for this deck so I am going to call it unfavourable for Lostgar.

What about the fact that vilegar makes you slower by not letting you use any trainers?
 
You know what, I gotta give you a round of applause, because this article was hands down awesome. Your matchups, explanations, and card analysis was bang on, and your list was quite similar to mine. I couldn't have asked any more other then to read more of this awesome article. BTW, it took guts to come back out of your shell to do another article ;)

Good deck, but Luxchomp is going to own it at states. They won't have a chance to get anything out by the time Bright Look is mowing them down. Doesn't have good enough damage to be competitive in my opinion.
 
I totally owned this deck yesterday with GYARADOS!!! With them getting the Spiritomb start. It is definitely overhyped.
 
With Tyrannitar and Luxchomp as popular as they are, Lostgar really has no chance. It will simply become too easy to beat by just making sure you don't keep extra Pokèmon in your hand. Sad, but true...

Tyranitar's popular? I've played against it once in tournament play. Ever.
 
Sorry but that's a terrible lostgar list -.-

Reminds me of people who made bad vilegar lists and lost and deemed vilegar is bad...then what do you know it's top3. Give lost world decks some time. I dunno if they will be bdif but top ones will def. be top tier imo.
 
In my opinion, LostGar doesn't live up to it's hype. I admit, this is a really good deck, but it's seriously really hard to pull off if you want it to become consistent. That's your only problem. Also getting around Power-Lock.
 
LostGar Is VERY Good! Twins Makes It SUPER consistent luxchomp loses its main advantage to lostgar. Luxchomp cannot hold the level X's in hand till the right time, that means they lose garchomps healing ability they lose the chance to bright look at just the right moment. They cant hold the extra sps in hand, and when you throw Palkia in the mix... you're talking about a deck with around 20 basics playing with a bench space of three.
2-2luxray
2-2garchomp
1 bronzong
1 lucario
2 uxie
1 uxie X
1 azelf
1 Promo Croak
1-2 crobats
1 ambipalm/dragonite

what happens to all those pokemon?
in game play there is always a bronzong, azelf, uxie, garchomp on the bench active luxray. There are 2-3 bebes in each deck, and those are used on the extra Luxray x and garchomp x so all the crobats lucario and ambipalm go strait to lost zone.
Plus with Gangar x you cant hide your lux and chomp level x on the field, cause i will use my power and send it to your hand, then lost zone it EVERYTIME... and have you seen what happens to lux chomp afte you lost world 1 luxray x or luxray... the deck slows all the way down and loses so much consistency...
in my play testing the first 3-4 turns gengar is extra deadly, because they abuse uxie+seeker, and because you can only evolve ya lv X as an active thats when they catch you with all those cards before you can play them out of your hand... and what happens most of the time, is you lose pokemon like uxie luxray and garchomp because those are the first pokemon you play to the bench, so they are your only choices for seeker, and if you lose a basic garchomp luxray its a very hard matchup to win
