My garch did bad at my first BR, I changed 3 cards, and it's speed rose tremendosly. Came in second of the seniors at the second battle road.(out of 4.) Now I need a claydol.
 
I don't know how I'm going to fit a 2-2 Claydol with PPs in mine. I didn't do super either.

First round against my friend's PorygonZ... lost. R2 Bye. R3 Donk. R4 1-1 Prizes at time against GlaceonLVX Win. R5 Darkrai/Blissey lost - both Gibites Prized...

:/
 
Ouch............ I don't have a clue why mine is so much faster now.Here's the list I used today:


Pokemon:17

1X Garchomp Lv.X
3X Garchomp
1X Gabite (Want another one in, don't know what to take out.)
4X Gible

2X Furret
2X Senteret

Togekiss = NOT NEEDED IN GARCHOMP DECKS. Well, I guess it's all right. You can use it if you want. It's ok.

But, you have GOT TO add in stuff like: Flygon ex (d), Gallade, and random ex's.
 
... I said I want to remove it for claydol, but I don't have any, and no one will trade me one......
 
"Ouch............ I don't have a clue why mine is so much faster now.Here's the list I used today:"

Is it the 4 Felicity's Drawing?
 
My techs yesterday were Breloom and Gallade. Breloom took out 2-3 Glaceon LVXs in a match. Gallade was, of course, great. I found that I was using Restore bring back more Garchomps. Gallade may come out too late and Breloom may not be needed/useful.

Here's my list:

Pokémon: 18

3-2-3-1 Garchomp LVX
2 Rotom
2 Pachirisu
2 Phione
1 Lunatone
1 Breloom
1 Gallade

Trainers: 24

4 TV Reporter
2 Felicity's
3 Celio's
2 Roseanne's
2 Rare Candy
1 Night Maintenance
3 Crystal Beach
2 Premier Ball
2 Super Scoop Up
3 Windstorm

Energy: 18
4 Fighting
4 Psychic
2 Fire
2 Water
2 Electric
2 Steel
1 Grass
1 Dark
 
I use to have 3 felicity's. How much diference can 1 make? I've also been testing with a proxy claydol.......... IT MAKES THE DECK SO BLISTERING FAST!!!!!!! I need one so bad.
 
2-2 Delcatty.... This also makes it blistering fast and gets the needed Energy in the discard for Restore.

Pokemon:23

3x Phione
1x Pachi

1X Garchomp Lv.X
3X Garchomp
3X Gabite
3X Gible

2X Skitty
2X Delcatty

2X Flygon ex d
1x Gardevoir
1x Gardevoir Lv X
1x Breloom (Agianst Empo/Palk; Eeveeluitons w/ Umby; Mirror)

That is the Pokemon I have gone with and it is conssitent through play testing. Trying to work with th trainer line a bit, but right now 4 TVR & 2 Felicity is more than enough. I first attempt max FD, but ot often I didn't have in my hand what I wanted to discard, so to me TVR is more consistent on controlling the discard. I didn't go yesterday, but will be going to the BRs next week to test it out. However, judging on the decks from yesterday and barring any completely horrible starts, Magnezone was played so their is a 120 hit for Breloom, and Moonlight was played so there are some more 120 hits!! Keep on working on it as it is worth it IMHO!

Umm........2 Skitty and 2 Furret? Do you mean 2 Skitty and 2 Delcatty?

I also agree that Delcatty is a GREAT tech, but I wonder what will replace it next season.
 
Yeah, I scraped it. It was quite slow........ I'm probably never going to use a weavile in garch. they don't combo with him.

It depends is Garchomp based around useing it? It helps make quick recoverys possible. I amost always use all of my Togekisses in a match. It is very useful in a Garchomp deck. Unless your deck is based around Restore then it isn't needed.
 
I'm going to try testing Breloom/Moonlight stadium combo in my deck. Togekiss was useful, but I think claydol is better.

Stratagy:

This is the deck Im curently using. I've tested it a lot and it can beat most anything ( that I've played) except G&G. (Haven't found a good mag to test it against.) Get Garch as fast as posible, use restore to get gardevoir and help set up other garchomps, if they have any of your wekneses get Blastoise d out. Felicity's throws e'm in the discard, and if garch x is ever K.O.ed you can just premier ball him back. With only 2 overall heads of dragon pulse you can OHKO anything in the curent format with the right energy on garch.

Still trying to decide on tecks for next season. ( such as a 1-1 Porygon-z Lv.x and 1 claydol.)

So what do you think? Questions? Coments? Suggestions on how to improve even more?

Thanks for reading.
like your id. ./how about adding gallade for more attack and take out 1 premier ball
