I'm a pokemon player 'help' me out of here.

The deck work brilliantly, except it is difficult agianst the Gyarados match up. (because its immense power and hit points) I need a way to make this much easier, and a way to reuse special energies i.e double colourless via powers, bodies or attacks.


Pokemon: 20
2-2 Luxray GL
2-2Garchomp C
1-1 Dialga G
2-1 Uxie
1 toxicroak G (promo)
1 Bronzong G
2 Crobat G
1 Lucario GL
1 azelf LA
1 unown G


Trainers: 27
4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
3 Roseanne's Research
1 Palmer's contribution
2 Bebe’s search
4 TGI Poke-Turn
3 TGI power spray
3 TGI energy gain
2 SP Radar
2 Warp point
1 Premier ball
1 VS Seeker
1 Expert belt


Energy: 13
4 Double Colorless energies
1 Psychic energy
3 Lightning energies
1 Metal energies
4 Call energy


Strategy:
Luxray GL lvx and Garchomp C lvx is to snipe the bench for easy prizes. and Dialga G is the Mr mime, Spiritomb and Mewtwo lvx counter. Otherwise just the basic SP deck strategy.

Thanks in advance. Chimeratech14
 
Hey,
I've played this too, but a little bit different.

I'd change:
-1 Premier ball
-1 Palmer
-1 Warp point
-1 Bebe
-1 Call energy
-1 Expert belt* (you can play with 1 Expert belt, but I think the deck if faster (= stronger) with an extra Energy Gain*)

+ 2 SP-radar (it's very fast and you can search it with Cyrus)
+ 1 Aaron (1 is enough, you can always use VS Seeker when you are in troubles)
+ 1 Pokémon collector (even MAYBE one more if you want to take out one Roseanne R. for it)
+ 1 Warp Energy (It's nice to retreat Dialga lv X -you can still move it with Bronzong G- and it's also nice for removing the effect of Garchomp C 's attack so you can do dragon ruch 2 times in a row (if you retreat after using the warp energy))
+ 1 Energy gain*

I hope I helped you a little bit. =)

You need either a Chatot MD or a Sableye SF for stalling/hand refresh, and you need an Ambipom G for possible donkage and Garchomp C OHKO. Drop 1 Roseanne's in favor of another SP radar. It will get you set up a little faster since you can use a supporter that turn, and then use radar. Hope I helped :thumb:

True you probably need ambipom for the mirror, and I agree with the roseanne sug.I really wouldn't add a sabyle or chatot. Trust me, I've tried them both and you are much better off starting with a luxray or garchomp. or even a crobat
 
actually, starting with sableye, even in luxchomp, could be a good thing. Impersonate collector and uve got a decent start...
 
or you could impersonate an extremely important supporter like, i don't know CYRUS'S CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Changing your luxray line to 3-1 will help you in the gyarados matchup. It's pretty easy to OHKO Gyarados with luxray and lucario if you play it smart, so I'm a bit baffled as to why you have problems with Gyarados. Ambipom G is an absolute staple, and should be in every build of the deck. Garchomp control wins you the mirror match, and Ambipom really puts pressure on the opponent. Unown q will help you SO MUCH, especially since you're using uxie Lv.X. Please add one in here. I'd also go for another Roseanne or collector, and one more each of Energy Gain and SP radar. Palmer's Contribution really doesn't have any place in this deck. 1NM/1Aaron is usually the best way to play your recovery. Other than that, your list looks great! Personally, I prefer mismagius, banette, or even Honchkrow SV to Dialga in the deck, but that's certainly just my preference.
 
To everyone (who replyed).
Thank you for the deck edits and strategies. I have taken to account the sableye and pkmn collector combo.
