So this is the list I'm playtesting against for Worlds. If you have any fixes/ different variations for this deck I would be really happy.


Pokemon:

2x Ralts(SW)
2x Ralts(DF)
2x Kirlia(SW)
2x Gallade(SW)
3x Gardevoir(SW)
1x Gardevoir LV. X(SW)
2x Claydol(GE)
2x Baltoy(GE)
1x Jirachi Ex(CG)
1x Absol Ex(PK)
1x Duskull(CG)
1x Dusknoir(DP)
=20

Trainer:
3x Team Galactic's Wager
2x Warp Point
4x Rare Candy
1x Celio's Network
4x Bebe's Search
2x Windstorm
1x Lake Boundary
3x Roseanne's Research
2x Night Maintenance
1x Copycat
=23

Energy:
1x Fighting Energy
4x Call Energy
3x Psychic Energy
4x Scramble Energy
4x Double Rainbow Energy
1x Holon's Castform
=17

Strategy: T as soon as possible Psychic Lock.

Tech explain:
Holon's Castform - I think this card is self explanatory.
Dusknoir - Shuffle your attacker to deck and keep the bench in 3, kthxbye.
Jirachi ex - Mirror tech.
Absol ex - Helps in Bring Downing for the last prize, great tech.

So, any fixes?

Thanks already.

I don't know why you have Absol ex in there, he doesn't do much in GG.

You also have a ton of energy, some of which can be taken out.

You need more Crystal Beach-removing cards, like Windstorm/Lake Boundary.

Some more straight draw like POV would be a good add as well.
 
You pay for TheTopCut.com?

Also, GL getting an energy that is attachable to a basic consistently, with only 8.
 
Sandslash7: Yeah, I have thought of 2nd Windstorm but it's hard to find space for it.

Twinkle: 3 Scrambles cost me my this year's Nats victroy, that's why I play 4 xD

Ardoptres: Nope, sorry this is my own list :( I've had pretty decents starts with this. And as said with 4 Scrambles would have got me a Nats victory but nooo, they had to be prized. That's why I play atm 4.

Edit: Ardoptres, nope in top8 to someone else.

I think you should say "4 Scrambles would have got me a Top8 victory" ;).

Anyway, great list but I still think you have too few basic energies. I'd remove 1 Scramble for 1 Psychic Energy.

See you at Worlds (and you too, Dennis)!
 
Really, really good list. Best PLOX list I've seen online. Congrats.

The only changes would be 1-2 cards for personal feel.
 
Thanks Ryan. Do you think that Chatot is necessary? I just can't find space for it. Suggestions for the list and for teches are always welcome.

Just run 4 Celio's Network, not 4 Bebe's and 1 Celio's, I don't know of a Plox list that runs Bebe's.

I know you have searching for Ex's in mind, but Roseanne's is for that.\, plus you can Telepass theirs.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

um cessation crystal? is that necessary? it hurts you. add 1 more gallade and 1 more moonlight stadium.
 
I'd find a way to put in 2 Steven's, that card is the best with Claydol. I'd probably take out 1 Copycat and 1 Celio for them, you don't need copycat, and with a consistent list 4 Bebe is all you need.
