Hello, im building a deck with my favorite pokemon, rayquaza, i want some help because I dont know if im doing right (vs the current metagame)
List:
-Pokemon x 7
4 Rayquaza EX
1 Rayquaza (dragon vault)
1 Zekrom (outrage)
1 Reshiram (outrage)

-Suppoters x 8
3 N
3 Professor Juniper
2 Colress

-Trainers x 15
3 Hypnotoxic Laser
2 Max Potion
2 Pokemon Catcher
2 Switch
1 Gold Potion
3 Super Rod
2 Skyarrow Bridge

Energies x 30
15 Electric
15 Fire

The strategy is use the celestial roar in order to attach energy to rayquaza-ex and do massive damage with dragon burst the next turn, rayquaza (dragon vault), zekrom and reshiram are for suicunes and sigilyph, the hypnotoxic lasers are for those pokemons with 130hp or 70hp, the stadium for free cost retreat of rayquaza ex, and the other trainers for obvious reasons (but I'm not secure of putting that ace spec).
I would like running ether but i dont know what can i take out.
PD: sorry if my english is not the best.
 
I don't think you need all those trainers honestly. This deck is so straight forward and squishy. Either you're going to get your 3 enery roars or you're not and you lose. That's the breaks of this deck.

4 Ray Ex
2 Ray
1 Zekrom
1 Reshiram
8

4 Skyla
2 N
6

4 Exp Share *keep spare energy in play when you get ko'd
4 Ether (so many energy in this deck, it's very useful especially turn 1s for donks easy 60 damage.)
4 Catcher
2 Skyarrow (get virbanks out and free retreats on ray ex's)
1 Computer Search (use it as a 5th skyla to get an ether or catcher out of the deck to secure ko's)
15


3 Prism
14 Fire
14 Lightning
31

Now I don't normally run Reshiram or Zekrom. In my lists I would take them out for 2 super rods. I don't normally reveal my entire lists to people. But I don't really care anymore. Goodluck!
 
wow thank you, I think I will follow your list, you're right, the deck needs ether and more catchers, and the supporter It needs is skyla, not juniper, colress, etc ; I will try the exp. share; what do you think about max potion? hypnotoxic? ultraball? revives? isn't necessary?

Click to expand...

Not at all necessary. Now I have times with this my list where I do get dead draw. And I have tried a few lists. Probably if I could suggest at cutting anything possibly cut the reshiram and zekrom for 2 juniper. If you would want to do that. laser isn't needed nor is max potion. Just keep cycling through your roars and hit those 180's you won't need to worry about healing lol..
 
also consider losing 2 energy (1 of each) for 2 Random Receiver. like rileysill32 said, with that much energy in the deck the random receivers will help you get a supporter in your hand. Updating his list would look like this:

4 Ray Ex
2 Ray
1 Zekrom
1 Reshiram
8

4 Skyla
2 N
2 Juniper
8

4 Exp Share
4 Ether
4 Pokemon Catcher
2 Skyarrow Bridge
1 Computer Search
15

3 Prism
13 Fire
13 Lightning
29
 
i like the idea, but I'm a little worried about the pokemons, in the list i have 8, and sometimes I lost because i couldn't search another pokemon when I got K.O., I'm still thinking about an ultraball, searchable with skyla, what do you think?, and I think that 1 or 2 superrod is a must in the deck :/, or revives, because celestial roar can discard some pokemons :s
 
wow, I didn't notice that, i'll use a superrod instead. Thanks guys :3, the deck works perfectly, the final list is:

4 Ray Ex
2 Ray
6

4 Skyla
2 N
6

4 Exp Share
4 Ether
4 Pokemon Catcher
2 Skyarrow Bridge
1 Computer Search
1 Super Rod
1 Float Stone
17

15 Fire
15 Electric
30

and the last card... should I use an energy, a super rod, an ultra ball or victini-ex?
 
I have tested this deck a lot... I am not too proud of it but it sure is a fun deck to play! You do not need the float stone as you will need the EXP Shares attached. You also need Ultra balls... those are needed in this deck because you don't have any other way of getting pokemon out. I would add in 3/4 Ultra Balls and use 3 EXP shares because you will already have one Ray in play with energy on it.

Just my thoughts, hopefully this helps.
 
Then I will replace the float stone with an ultraball and that "extra card" will be another ultraball, I think 2 is enough :3 Thank you
