HGSS-on This is so dumb.

Well lately over at the Pokémon trading card game online I have made some silly decks. I mean some really, really silly decks. This one just might take the price.

Pokémon: 8

4 Shaymin EX
2 Regigigas EX
1 Mewtwo EX
1 Shaymin UL

T/S/S: 38

4 Juniper
4 N
4 PONT

1 Pokégear 3.0
4 Dual Ball
2 Heavy Ball
4 Junk Arm
3 Catcher
3 Switch
3 Super Scoop Up
2 Pluspower
2 Energy Switch
1 Revive
1 Eviolite

Energy: 14

11 Grass
3 DCE

So basically, you wanna start with Shaymin EX. That's why you run 4 of it. You then wanna use its first attack Synthesis, which allows you to search your deck for a grass energy and then attach that energy to one of your Pokémon.

The following turn you either go for Synthesis again or you play Energy Switch and/or play down Shaymin UL to move the energy from Shaymin EX to one of your attackers (Regigigas or Mewtwo). Then you wanna flip heads on an SSU so you can pick the Shaymin EX up. If it fails you can play a switch and hope your opponent doesn't draw into a catcher next turn.

Well in theory that's what's supposed to happen. Rarely works in practise I've found out.

Oh and after you're done with Synthesis shenanigans you go ahead and roll over the opponent. Or at least make an effort to.

So I guess that's it. Go ahead and rate the deck and such. And before you mention it, yes I realize this deck looks like an inferor variant of CMT. And it probably is.

Every Pokemon in your deck is a basic, so why no collector? I'd say at least -1 Juniper/N/PONT and +3 Collector.

What is the purpose even with the deck if you think it's the most silly one?
Anyway, it seems like the main point of the deck is using Regigigas and Mewtwo and then have some energy aceleration for them. It isn't for nothing that MTC has become so populare because Celebi is really the best option to get fast energy in play.
It seems really risky to start with Shaymin EX (110 HP) and hope that you can just get it back with SSU or that your opponent doesn't gets a catcher (yeah right), so how about using some other Pokemon to accelerate the energy. Since Regigigas and Mewtwo doesn't require any specefic energy there's a lot of other options.

Here's some examples:
Emboar using fire energy
Skarmory using metal energy
Mew prime using Psychic and Lightning -> Lost Zone Ampharos from HGSS (not Ampharos Prime) -> Use Mew to use Ampharos' attack Acceleration Bolt, which lets you search your deck for two basic energies which you can attach to one of your Pokemon at the same time.

And of course, allways use 4 DCE in these kind of decks.
Hope this gives some inspiration

One thing that may make a difference is that Synthesis attaches energy to 1 of your pokemon, not just shaymin ex.

So does the three examples I listed

 

[dark wobbuffet]

your right, this deck does seem silly. shaymin ex is going to lose you two prizes before you even damage them, and by them time you are attacking they will have at least one strong attacker of thier own with which they will either KO your attacker or just catcher more shaymin ex. shaymin ex is good only for the second attack.

 

[wilyfungi]

If you are having fun with Shaymin EX as a bigger attacker I think that is totally acceptable, experimenting is what makes unexpected decks win tournaments! You still may want to run something like two celebi prime if you have them though. Also Eviolite seems like a better option than SSU to me with the way Shaymin can be OHKOed...it will give mewtwo a harder time killing you too.

I ran almost this exact deck @ missouri states and took 25th overall. (4-3)

the only deck that i lost to was CMT. all 3 times.
If there is such a thing as a CMT counter card, I would take out 1 regigigas and put it in.

I would also add in some twins, and black belts. the 1 shaymin you start with i use as a sacrifice, let them take the 2 prizes and kill it (get as many synthesis out of it as possible)
using exp share you energy isnt lost, i would probably go with 2-3 mewtwo, get rid of regigigas altogether maybe throw in a virizion NV.

Just my experience.

@ simwar, the objective of this deck is to actually let them kill a shaymin, MAYBE 2 if you think you got the game really in the bag.

Every Pokemon in your deck is a basic, so why no collector? I'd say at least -1 Juniper/N/PONT and +3 Collector.

I don't think that Collector is that needed, simply because it is all basics. He runs Dual Ball which with Junk Arm you're fine on. I like the Supporter line the way it is.
