Mew and Swanna: Best Friends return!?

[honchvire]

So apparently the previous ruling about Mew + Swanna's Feather Dance has been reversed. If Mew uses Feather Dance and then uses an attack that can damage the bench, you would deal +40 damage to that attack.

Exciting no? Now you can Darkness Howl for 60 to all non-dark pokemon(though mew will deal 120 to itself), Simisear's Flame Burst for 60 to 3 pokemon, or even Lunatone's Self-Destruct for 100 to their active and 50 to both Benches.

I know the problems inherent in this(Mew needs to survive a turn after a Feather Dance, can't be forced to the bench by catcher, needs at least 2 pokemon in the LZ to even be effective), but can anyone come up with some cool combos? I'm thinking of Defender and Eviolite to give mew those extra turns, maybe use Octillery to do a cheap snipe for 70 and then hide behind a wall.

I like this with Simisear BW. Another option that was already being put into some Mew decks is Samurott Black and White ("bad Samurott"). Pike would do 30(+40) to the active and 30(+40) to one benched pokemon for just a DCE. Although I think the ones already mentioned are good too.

What would a list for this look like?

I like Kyurem LZ'ed with this ruling

I don't see this being as amazing at it first sounds.

Think about it,

1 extra turn to lost zone swanna, 1 extra turn to use Feather Dance, then you have to live, THEN you get your mega boost spread.

Compared to...

Glaciate Glaciate Glaciate.

If you can just attack 3 turns in a row with spread, it ends up being better or equal to having +40 damage. It's a neat ruling, but it's not really too viable.

Feather Dance + Glaciate has the advantage of being a single attack, so Eviolite only drops the damage once. Two of them (four turns) could wipe out an entire field of Durants at once, while Glaciate on it's own would only do a total 40 to each of them in the same amount of time.

My blog (check it out!) mentions Absol Prime as an early Lost Zoner, so you can work with that.

The big obstacle is Feather Dance and then attacking with the same Mew without losing it or the Feather Dance issue. I'm assuming if any player Feather Dances the opponent will know something is up, look at Swanna, and then attempt to disrupt or kill that Mew as fast as they can.

But yeah, I agree that if you really want to Glaciate for 70, just do twice with a Kyurem like a normal human being.

Drop a Dragon

Take 60 from whatever gimmicky Mew thing they do

Attach DCE

OHKO Mews until you win

This is just a hardcore troll brought to you by the guys in Japan who do the rulings.

Dude you're missing the big picture!! you use kyurem for 70 damage, then next turn get Jirachi with 6 energies on it, and KO everything!

ZPST / Six Corners / CKE / Any deck playing nothing but basics will have a blast.

There are SO many new things that will open. If someone can find how to survive with the lonely mew you can definately do something here.

 

[Roarkiller]

There are better ways of using mew. There's even a version that creates a perpetual permalock where mew will theoretically never die. Slow deck, but works much better than this gimmick.

It's like in the video games with the baton pass team. Looks like a great idea, until it crashed in testing.

If you think about you only have to do the mega spread 3 times(180 damage to all) .if you were to use defender and eviolite with junk arm you could get off two of the three. Then you catcher to get someone stuck for the last. You could also use leaveny plus eviolite to prevent self knock out. Then vespiqeen to prevent danmage to your bench grass ( leaveny). It would be hard but it is doable thinking about it this way may help.
