HGSS-on Zekrom/Eels

[Barkjon]

Heyyyy guys. I've been testing Zek/Eels for a few weeks, and I want to share my list.

POKEMANZ (15):
3 Thundurus
2 Zekrom BW
1 Zekrom EX
2 Mewtwo EX
4-3 Eels

T/S/S (32):
4 Collector
4 PONT
3 Juniper
2 Sage's Training
1 N
2 Level Ball
2 Pokegear
4 Junk Arm
3 Catcher
2 Eviolite
1 Super Rod
2 PlusPower
2 Switch

ENERGY (13):
9 Lightning
4 DCE

STRATEGY:
Thundurus is preferred start, to get energy on field and to get some cheap KO's. Zekrom is the main attacker. Mewtwo is for enemy Mewtwos. Zekrom EX is for Magnezone, Terrakion, Emboar, etc. Tornadus is for Donphan. The Eelektriks are the energy acceleration and allow you to quickly get attackers out.

Trainer and Supporter lines are geared towards speed and consistency.

I'd say play something for mirror, initially terrakion is that card but that tornadus could possibly counter the terrakion. However the terrakion will act as an surprise you won't see it coming. I truthfully think that one super rod is enough for your recovery, so I believe revive nor pluspower is needed as you got zekrom EX hitting magnezones and high hp cards (excluding EX's). I think another mewtwo should be in here as if you whiff a revive or super rod you may lose the mewtwo exchange.

Zebstrika NDE and terrakion NV are too good to pass up.

 

[Griftiest]

Needs another mewtwo. Tornadus has always been a vanilla terrakion counter, and really slows you down in the mirror

Oneshot what? :nonono:

My list is similiar and these are the differences. The current list I have is (very) consistent. I feel Terakion is not necessary as you have Zekrom EX for heavy lifting.

+1 Zekrom
+1 Tynamo (you need 4)
+1 PONT
-1 Sage
-2 N

-2 communication
+2 level ball (just flat out better card)
+1 pokegear (play 2 or none at all)
-1 switch (the 3rd is great, but 2 will work)
-1 DCE

I may be a card off, but try this list out.

 

[Barkjon]

@MiniWade: I don't like Terrakion. It really screws over my consistency. PlusPower is necessary (imo). I play a Revive because I only have 1 Mewtwo.

@ThePokePlayer: Consistency > techs.

@Griftiest: I play Revive because I don't have the second Mewtwo. I'll try to get a second one though.

@SuperChar: Uh... sure?

@POPokeDad: I like Comm better than Level Ball, for numerous reasons.

My list has actually been changed a bit in my testing, check it out now.

 

[POPokeDad]

Wow - our lists are almost identical. I play in the Orlando area Masters division. I went top 16 at GA States with my list.

Compared to your list I've got:

+1 Tynamo
+1 Zekrom
-1 Sages
-1 N
-2 Communicatoin
+2 Level Ball (better, trust me)

 

[Barkjon]

My list is changed up now. CHECK IT OUTT. Only lost one game in all my testing.

Only play 2 juniper and play 3 sages, sages are far better in the long run. but thats just my opinion

Are you testing the mirror? (somewhat serious, the mirror and CMT is where you decide on your techs.)

 

[ThePokePlayer]

Consistency > techs???
Zebstrika's soft lock destroys almost every deck (especially durant)...

 

[Barkjon]

@griEGO: I really don't like Sage's. I realize it's potential, but it often doesn't help me at all.

@SLOW DECK: I've been mainly testing (85%) against mirror and CMT, with a small amount vs. Durant or rogues.

@ThePokePlayer: Consistency is way better than techs. The lock really doesn't do tons against Durant, since you're doing so little damage.
