Awesome! I will go on Friday if I can make it.

Grrr, don't you just hate when you are feeling fine but your parents make you stay home "just in case"? Just in case what? I have a fun time?

Ummm... League is on Sunday. And yes I do hate it when moms do that, she says I shouldn't be around "a big group of people". But maybe it will make her feel sorry for me and let me go to nats.:thumb:

Good luck at Battle Roads!

P.S. Go with Baby Mario's decklist. He knows what he's talking about. Use as many cards as you have from it. For the cards that you're missing, put in something that you think will help.
 
That is a great idea! A few things though:

1) How can Jirachi attack without Metal Energy?
2) I don't have 4-3-4 Ludicolo or 4 Jirachi :(
3) Only 1 BTS
4) Mr. Mime looks, well, awful. Is there anything I could switch it with?
5) Do I need Pokemon Contest Hall?

Okay, thank you! Can anyone go to Nationals or do you have to be invited?

You never use the second attack (it's rubbish), just the first for no Energy.

2) I don't have 4-3-4 Ludicolo or 4 Jirachi :(

Getting cards is a problem, I know. The ones I suggested (except maybe Jirachi) aren't hard to trade for though, and if you are going to League, it is a great place to trade.

3) Only 1 BTS

See above.

4) Mr. Mime looks, well, awful. Is there anything I could switch it with?

He may look awful, but the idea is to have him active while a benched Ludi uses its Power and ends your turn. Mr Mime can't be damaged by a Pokemon with less than 3 Energy, so it stalls cards like Beedrill, Kingdra, and a lot of SP's that use Energy gain. Next turn, you retreat Mime for free with Unown Q and smack for 120 with Ludi.

5) Do I need Pokemon Contest Hall?

No.
 
Do you mean Mr. Mime 4? Because I don't see anything about 3 energies...

I also do not understand how I can keep benching Ludicolo in order to use Mr. Mime...


I don't really have any time to trade, since the Battle Road is on Saturday. I will put up a post right now, though.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I mean Mr Mime from MT. This one:

1. Start with Jirachi and use Detour + its Power (and/or Call Energy) to set up your bench with Ludicolos and a Mr Mime.

2. Start attaching Energy to Ludi.

3. When Jirachi is KO'd, send up a Mime w/Unown Q attached.

4. Use Cheerful Voice, which ends your turn.

5. If they don't have 3 Energy on their Pokemon they can't attack Mime on their turn.

6. On your turn, retreat Mime and hit for 120 (130 w/PlusPower) using Ludi.

7. Build up back up Ludis for when the first gets KO'd

8. Rinse and repeat.
 
Legotack - Were you at the RR Prerelease at King's Games? If so, what deck did you use?

It would be great if we could trade!


Baby Mario - Awesome strategy! How do you play Supporters, though? I always thought they got discarded after use...
 
When you play a Supporter, it goes next to your active Pokemon and is only discarded when you end your turn, so when you use Detour, it is still 'in play'.

(See the small print on every Supporter).
 
I was at the RR prerelease. For normal tournaments, I use Arcanine. At the prerelease I used Gallade 4 + Turtwig GL + Some random SP stuff. I am in Seniors.
 
I'm in Seniors too. Did your Turtwig GL knock out all of my Pokemon? I used Nidorina, Nidorino, and Glaceon.
 
hey qwa - I have a ludicolo deck I ran at my league time to time. my build focuses only on ludicolo.

my suggestion would be to drop to 16 energy if you're that concerned (I currently got mine down 14). I used speed cards like Poke Drawer +, Pokedex (look at top 2, pick one and add it to hand other to bottom of deck), etc. I also used a 2-1 Uxie X line up [which you can work around as you've only 1 Uxie].

best bet is to reconsider what you want exactly from the deck and how you want it to run.
 
I built a Ludicolo deck a while back for fun.
Not really sure about how good it is, didn't do much testing with it tbh, but it could help you see what would be the next step.

Pokemons 22

3 Lotad PL (2x81 , 1x131)
2 Lombre SW
3 Ludicolo PL
2 Baltoy GE
2 Claydol GE
1 Uxie LA
1 Shuckle SW
1 Mr.Mime MT
1 Cherubi DP
1 Cherrim SF
1 Treecko SF
1 Sceptile SF
1 Unown Q
2 Unown G

Trainers 24

4 Bebe's Search
1 Luxury Ball
4 Roseanne's Research
1 Cynthia's Feelings
4 Rare Candy
2 Broken Time-Space
3 Warp Point
1 Night Maintenance
4 PokéBlower +

Energy 14

2 Upper
4 Call
2 Rainbow
1 Water
5 Grass

It's perhaps a bit over-teched, but seemed to work.
The problem I see with ludicolo is that the opponent will see it coming and will send some random pokemon to take the shot. That's why I decided to put PokéBlower+ in it. You can even consider Dugtrio, could also be an electric type counter, but it's tough energy wise.
One different Lotad because the free retreat is nice, but the other one is better if you hit that heads on the first turn.
I use Cherrim as my Pluspower to kill theses pesky 130hp Pokemon, takes less space than Pluspowers and/or Crobat G and is permanant. Downside is that it's shut off by Dialga G lvx...
The Sceptile is in there... well... because I can really ^^. It's dispensable but good in this deck.

As for the trainers, high warp point count for that mr.mime trick Baby Mario described (I also use Shuckle for that) and the Cynthia is a bit random (had one space and didn't really know what to put). 3 Rare Candy and 3 BTS sounds more logical but I prefer having a 4th Candy for the early game so you're more likely to be able to do 120 by t3.

And for the energys, pretty standard. Rainbow energy is very nice with Sceptile and allows Claydol, Mr.Mime and Unown G to attack in very rare occasions ...
I think it's about it. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hope it helps
 
4-2-3-1 Ludicolo SF/Ludicolo SW
2-2 Claydol
2 Unown G
1 Uxie
1-1 Shaymin X(+40HP)

fun line I tried, not a contender, but fun.
 
Cherrim is also a good idea, a 2-2 line so it can boost your healing with your attack, so you can do 140,and have 160 hp.
