the problem that i have with running 2-1 sally PK/DF is that if you get the DF in any other match up it's hard to fight with it. With the meta game now, everyone's already doing 80 damage a turn, so if an EX is doing 80 damage a turn it's just giving up two prizes. (i'm a sally lover too so don't think i'm against you) but i think that i'll work if it was straight PK only because PK will OHKO a Magmortar anyways and anything else in it's path

the PK one will take at LEAST 3 turns to charge! Yes, you can OHKO 6 times and WIN, but thats the best case senario and 6 KOs = 30 cards discarded (and, excluding cards you draw every turn). decking yourself out is really ... easy.

Then what about dealing with 50 HP pokemons? Your opponent could build up something BIG or swarm while you discard 5 cards just to kill the small and insignificant basics.
 
Sally PK is good but it will lose to magmortar....Sally EX DF beats Magmortar, I have tested this MANY times and I win. The toughest matchup for Sally EX DF dec. is Hurricane. I can beat that as well, just simple damage spread and set everything up for 2 kos per turn.
I am testing a Sally EX PK tech in my deck but, I can't see myself ever running Togekiss.
I do think though, with some tweaks to my version of Sally EX d that it could take states.
I almost forgot about G/G, that deck is harder to beat than when I 1st thought of sally ex d. The key in this isn't to get quick kos, it is to allow your opponent to get a couple of fully setup pokes while damage spreading them, they will probably take it down to 2 prizes before you have taken one but, once everything is capable of getting knocked by 40, you should win...

They are reporting that they ran Togikiss & 20-22 energy for speed.

I wouldn't take the risk to run 22 nrg. Serious you will have more bad starts as good ones like 1-2 basic, 6 nrg........
You need to set up 2 stage2 pokemon, so 4 candy, bebe's and other search.
Almost not possible to fit in so much energy in my opinion.
 
I'm not going to defend myself for all the joked post about me, play me, beat me then make fun

You can make fun of me all you want, i've already been through that after nationals, yes i may be a joke, and just like back then, i've proved some of the highest players that my national deck wasn't a joke. There's several people that i've been facing in the past 3 days that thouth my deck is inconsistent, and if you think so too and you can beat my deck with ease then again, add me and we'll play, if you beat me you can talk all the smack you want. If you haven't noticed, people that have talked down on my deck, hasn't responded saying they beat me yet.

Yes i do play togekiss, and i do play 20 energies, within the games that i've been playing in the past 3 days, i've only decked once which was my fault for being careless

my E-mail has been LOL'ed in the last page it's easy to find

Ho Megas Alexandros you have yet to add me what are you waiting for?

I should be an easy victory shouldn't i?

hey no one means to make fun of you, and if they do, who cares, people are just pointing out the flaws that they see in salamence and in your build, i'm sure they haven't tested it, i haven't because i feel the same way others do

i would never make fun of someone for doing well with a deck based around a HORRIBLE pokemon, that's an accomplishement, if you have truly made a playable consistant winning deck with salamence ex then that's more than most the people that post on the gym have accomplished

i'll play you anytime if you want i don't have to play gallade but i feel that i could come out on top if you wanted to test that specifically, pm me and i will give you my himachi network

BTW this thread is FILLED with spam people should start making legit posts

The gallade "flips-6-prize-and-still-not-KO-sally ex d " is true, but thats just the PART 1. I've seen my friends battling each other and saw PART 2!

Part 2 is about they BD next turn! instant KO

Or, the cheaper way is sonic blade +BD which is also pretty effective.

The other sally ex d needs another few turns to charge, which is too slow in terms of battling with GG.

running like 20 energies would mean drawing into energy every turn which means you can't do a thing while your opponent KOs your poke 1 by 1.

1st off, why on earth would they use this attack...???
Psychic cut is the better play
Part 2 is about they BD next turn! instant KO
ok, I run 3 Sally EX d, and ur talking as if they will get a god hand.

Sally EX D is an easy card to charge up, 2-3 turns and hes fully setup with my deck.
