Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Steelix HGSS-On

With Blissey being taken out which imo is a very powerful card in the steelix deck, with uxie draw being rotated out and several other cards if it is hgss-on what do you think would be decent in the steelix deck...I was using a dialga lv x in my deck to counter plume which now could really hold a lock down on steelix.
 
Well Potion now heals 30 and we will still have Life Herb/Moo Moo Milk/Junk arm, so it'll just be more trainer based healing as apposed to Blissey. Maybe Defender will see some play in Steelix.
 
Draw power should be engineer's adjustment and like DoomScizor said the deck will probably revolve around trainer heal.
 
I'm anticipating Steelix to remain very, very good... unless Charizard becomes as big as people are expecting. In that case, it will probably be underplayed.
 
Losing Blissey really hurts. But, I also think that the main reason Blissey was good is because of SP (great Garchomp and Blaziken counter, as well as making it impossible to be hand locked). I only run one Uxie in my deck now and rarely use it as is, its not really needed. Trainer lock isn't that big of a deal really. It will hurt more next format since Steelix loses Blissey AND Volkner, but it will keep judge. But, also remember, Gengar SF will be gone....so, while it will hurt, it won't be as bad as it was this year.

I was talking it over with my friend on the long ride back from Regionals. Its unfortunate that it will lose even more cards that aren't being used to help it now that could be used, but there are still some awesome ideas available, some more viable than others. As far as how good the deck will be, 'Toed is right: IF Fire sees a lot of play, it will not see much play. If not, it will be VERY good.
 
charizard isnt in hgss-on. however reshiram+emboar will beat steelix easily.

Oh, sure enough. Sorry, I misread the title as "Steelix next rotation," which will obviously not be HGSS-on. Why would we be discussing a format that will not exist for two years, if ever?

Do you think champ will be rotated out...that is the champ/plume combo? With a lot of spiritomb and vileplume running around that is what i am honestly worried about...As soon as it comes out im trainer locked..without dialga g lv x there really isn't much....yet that is.
