Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

palkia lock skeleton and techs

Um, he wants to play Palkiaplume.

In my original post, I said I was no expert at building the deck. When he said he wanted to use it, I again stated I had no experience with the build.

I DO have experience with Palkiaplume.
 
Is 'Palkiaplume' even a legit deck?

Anyone ever played it in a ranking tournament?

That just sounds like an appalling mess to me. I don't believe anyone has positive tourney experience with that.
 
I played it for fun a bit. It is super clunk tho, kinda like a tech deck.

But you could just run 2-2-2 Plume in a Palkia Lock deck in place of Garchomp C imo.
 
...no.

Although you could run Palkia lock without Garchomp. You will just have to really focus on a single Palkia G Lv.X and basically block out everything your opponent is throwing at you with something like Sableye/Smeargle start, Initiative, Judge, Giratina Let Loose, Chatot G, Mesprit, Power spray, Spiritomb spin (oh the extremes). It's a deck that can basically get 3 attackers out (2-2 Palkia, 1 Aaron). You'd run Garchomp but you just can't get it fitting in there.

Luxray will just make you cry if they manage to get past the disruption barrier you'll be throwing at them. Otherwise, this variant can rock.

2+2+2 does not equal 2+2. Explain how a 2-2-2 Vile line fits in place of Chomp.

On top of that, 2-2-2 with no Candy, no BTS?

How is DarthPika not in this thread yet?

FYI - If you run VilePlume, then your build engine changes. It won't run consistently if you try to drive it with an SP draw. Instead, you'll need to build a GengarPlume ==> take out the Gengar ==> Insert 3-1 Palkia G X

Run it like a stage 2 lock instead of an SP lock and you'll gather some consistency here.

You will, however, need to play very patiently and let your lock do it's thing while you set up an Ebelted Pearl Breath.

As everyone else has suggested, consider having Ambipom G for Donkability behind the lock AND at least a 2-1 Garchomp C X would give you some hurry-up attack speed.
 
yay

I didn't run Belt in mine...

...and if you get a belt on something when you're supposed to be Tomb/Plume locking, ur doing it rong.
 
I really don't think you should run vileplume. Your consistency is awful, you lose to luxchomp anyways, and everything good about palkia is in trainers.
 
^Not true.

When I played Eggos, I would use trainers first, THEN get up Plume, THEN Lost Cyclone the Plume away THEN use trainers.
 
What in the world is eggos? And how does it relate to this. So your plan is to use your trainers FIRST, then set up your plume? That will never happen. please.
 
Ya, Eggos, just the name, really gets on my nerves. Please, stop trying to rip off legos, it was original, for like -2 seconds. I think that vileplume is going to slow you down. a lot.
 
@Gallade

I've done it. Pretty much, you lock your opponent in every way possible and snipe other stuff. Eggos is pretty much Legos with the Exeggcutor LA/Night Teleporter engine/disruption.

@Acneminer

I have experience on Palkiaplume. I don't have much on Pearlchomp. I CLEARLY said this in my first two posts, and made sure Luxray knew that.
 
That's what I played.

Palkia, Night Teleporter, Exeggutor, Vileplume, Luxray X, Dialga, Mesprits, Sableye, Mewtwo.
