Could you PLZ help with colorless deck for Battle Road tornament?
To me, this deck seems creative. (And 4 some reason porygons don't get enough love)
Here it is:smile::

Pokemon: 21
1 Porygon-Z Lv-X <MD> (Cool pokemon, one of my favorite:biggrin:)
3 Porygon-Z (main attacker) <GE>
2 Porygon 2 (download pokepower)<GE>
3 Porygon<GE>
2 Claydol (use 4 cosmic power, who else doesn't nowadays)<GE>
2 Baltoy
1 Chatot <MD>
1 Smeargle<SW>
2 Stantler (Lead brings Supporters faster) <SW, 1 from POP7>
2 Dodrio<MT> (Triple Peck FTW, will miss it when it will be rotated out :frown: )
2 Doduo

Trainers/Supporters: 22
3 Plus Power
1 Super Scoop Up
1 Rare Candy
1 Interviewer's Questions
1 Team Galactic Wager(also will miss)
1 Team Galactic Mars
2 Switch
1 Fisherman (brings in energy to use again, convenient)
1 Emcee's Chatter
1 Luxury Ball
2 Prof. Rowan
4 Bebes (yeah even I am suprised how much I have)
2 Night Maintenance
1 Quick Ball


Energy: 17
1 Double Colorless Energy
2 Fire
2 Water
2 Grass (including 1 retro one 4 luck :biggrin:)
2 Electric
2 Psychic
2 Fighting
2 Darkness
2 Steel


Because of Porygon-z pokepower, i can change its type to strike weakness at almost any pokemon. The one problem I know I have is the lack of good attackers other than porygon-z but can't find/ don't know any good pokemon to put it with. (One suggested Lucario GL)

Any ways, tell me what you think. Hopefully I can get good cards from pokeorder before saturday


EDIT: BTW, I am NOT a beginner, just to let you know

Here are some cards I thought of putting in:

Engineer's Adjustments
Multi Energy
Ditto (Ditto DNA)
Life Herb
Salemance line from Platinum Arceus
 
i would add a timewalk Azelf, a prized X can be a pain =P but other than that i think i looks good, the hitting for weakness is awesome, with a lot of people running primes , the double damage can be sick ^_^
 
I wouldn't play any :metal: energy in this deck. The only commonly played Pokemon with weakness to it is Regice, and if you happen to find one in the active spot, you're probably in good shape anyway. I'd replace one with another :psychic: to take down Machamp and Promocroak, who threaten Porygon-Z's weakness. The other one is a metagame call; either :water: for Donphan, since it also hits you for weakness, or :fighting: for Luxray, which is everywhere these days.

I would also replace Chatot, Stantler, and Smeargle with one each of Lucario GL, Azelf, Uxie, and Unown G, and I'd drop the Dodrio line and your choice of three random trainers/supporters to max out Roseanne and Rare Candy. In a deck that depends on having the right energy at the right time, Roseanne is an absolute must.

Which Azelf and Uxie are U talking about?
 
Doduo/Dodrio seem unnecessary. At least Stantler and Smeargle kindof fit with the theme of your deck.

Considering that your strategy is to discard specific energy colors to take advantage of weakness... I'm a little suprised that you don't run any energy searching cards, besides smeargle and porygonzX's pokepower. I guess interviewers works, but you've only got one, and theres no guarantee that the color you need is in those top 8 cards.

Roseannes is the obvious omission, but another good card is Cyrus' Conspiracy. Cyrus would let you search out an energy AND another supporter which you could download right away.

As far as your energy lineup, I suggest you ditch the metal energy and cut one of the grass energys for 3 more double colorless. As others have said, not many things are weak to metal, same with grass. Leave your retro energy in there for good luck.

Speaking of luck... your damage output is random, based on coinflips. So the plus powers dont really make sense, as you dont know if you are going to overshoot or whiff completely when you start flipping.

If you only have one rare candy its hardly worth running it. At least porygon2 is searchable. If you have them, Id rather see a thicker porygon line(either 4-4-3-1 or 3-3-3-1) and BrokenTimeSpace. You can chain downloads to search out the pieces you need and get porygon out quickly.

Heres a sample summary of changes:

Someone must be cursing me right now because I pull out any Lucario GLs or Time Walk Azelf. My only hope seem to be trading cards with someone an hour or 2 before the battle road starts. If not, well............:frown:

BTW, Cyrus' Conspiracy only works 4 Team Galactic cards
 
Add Kecleon (the every-type poke'body), max out the DCE, and use Lucario GL and that one lake stadium that makes weakness x2.
 
- 2-2 Dodrio
- 2 Stantler
- 1 Emcee's Chatter
- 2 Bebe's Search
-2 Fisherman (outclassed by night maintenance)
-1 Pluspower
-1 Professor Oak's New Theory

+3 Rare Candy
+2 Roseanne's
+2 DCE
+1 Azelf
+1 Lucario GL
+2 Pokemon Communication
+1 Looker's investigation

That's just my personal choice, of course you may not have the cards, if so sorry.
You may want to add in spiritomb to lock down your opponent, and set up your porygon's quicker.
I personally don't think chatot is that bad, at least it gives you something in this deck with free retreat which you can send out after one of your porygon's get KOd so that you can retreat to anything you see appropriate. Although it can be easy sniping bait.
Adding something in like pokemon reversal or warp point, forcing your opponent to switch to something that you may see as a threat (e.g. Machamp or promocroak) and KOing them before they KO you would be advised also.

Hope this helped =D

Already removed chatot Plus I do not see why everyone hating on dodrio. Sure it is an old card (and soon to be rotated out:frown:) but not only does it have free retreat but also has triple peck that can hit evolved pokemon at bench.

But I am willing to replace then for better colorless pokemon (I am thinking of putting purugly G or zangoose)
