so i need to know what's going to replace the unown G since it's going to be cycled out? "take out" is going to kill my sp deck!
 
Not much you can do except outspeed and spray their Uxies, seems like. T1 Powerspray for the win.

There's also Toxicroak G (non promo), iirc.
 
With a 3-1 Uxie, Machamp is almost Guaranteed a T1 Machamp if run correctly. Machamp will be very scary early game. You need a Toxitank Combo.

There is such thing as Power Spray?

I'd wait and see how popular Macheap is going to be. If it does get played then I suppose Toxitank is the way to go.
 
That's why a load of Champ decks and decks with Champ tech end up losing to Luxchomp when they really shouldn't.

Champ player sees SP. Eyes light up and he goes 'OMG OMG AUTOWIN!11shiftone!1'

Then he massively over-extends going for the quick Champ.

SP player gives up a cheap Prize or two, kills the Champ, then goes on to win the match.
 
Getting Uxies out early is fine as it will soon become Uxie X which is your draw engine. And getting 2 Uxies is not massively over-extending.
 
Machamp is a competitive deck next year and don't let anyone fool you.
I have a list already built for this rotation (its competitive with nearly everything and rocks SP) and only three cards are getting rotated (easy to replace cards too)
 
mismagius is a good counter.
also with hunter coming out, just about everydeck will prolly one or two mesprits in them.

You...don't have Claydol in a Machamp deck for THIS season?

Champ gets rocked by SP right now, and it'll stay that way after rotation. SP might have to throw in a Toxicroak G PT so you can Psychic Restore and send him (Toxicroak) up to force a Hurricane Punch (that will be followed with SP KOing with Dragon Rush), but it's never going to be a terrible matchup like some think it is.

Also, Uxie Level X is still awesome with Lucario+Crobat+DCE. These factors, along with the fact that Champ has no consistent draw anymore, will allow SP to maintain an edge on even Champ.

if Machamp plays down 3 ERL-able pokemon, Luxchomp with ERL wins the match 70-30. hands down

ERL may be the best Luxchomp varient, but not that popular. I know a couple of people will keep it secret for nationals, but that's about it for now. Besides there shouldn't be more than 3 benched pokemon with a power so you can take 3 prizes with that,but take out knocks it out for 2 prizes. I'm not saying Machamp is broken or even top tier. All I said was that T1 Machamp will be scary.

You are seriously dumb, if you think you should drop ERL while not winning the match with it.

you can easily get 3 cheap ko's on benched pokemon, AND then drop ERL FTW

Yes, I thought of that, but by the time you take 3 Cheap KO's which most likely will have to be Uxies on the bench making ERL do less, Machamp will have a significant prize lead. If you even knock out one of your pokemon with ERL then if Machamp had a bench sudden death would occur and Machamp is probably taking the first prize. And a lot of us are sick of you being rude.
 
MACHAMP WILL RULE THE NEXT SEASON!!!

SPs only counters once unown G is gone will be Mismagius, Uxie X/Crobats/LucarioGL, and ToxiTank.
