Lotsa discardingage

[Hippowdon SaveSand]

fun combo, annoys your opponent. aim is to discard as many cards from your opponent's hand and deck-

4 spiritomb
4-2-3/1 flygon lvx
2-2 weavile (la-ud)
3-1 uxie

Some judge and rocket's trickery are an absolute must, also ssu and bts. Could this work and be a viable combo in today's format?

I personally think that Looker is the play with Weavile. You'll have to drop Weavile from your hand and after supporter like Judge, only giving you 4 cards to work with, the combo won't work as efficiently. With looker, you can not only keep Weaviles in your hand, but also see if the hand is garbage already and use it to yourself to prevent your opponent accidentally drawing into anything.

As cool as Flygon sounds here, I can't think of the synergy. Flygon discards frrom deck, Weavile from hand. I would much rather work with either one but not both. Of course Weavile can prove useful against opposing Cyrus etc. but I think there are better combos for both of these cards (Flygon-Slowking, Weavile/Sableye/Smeargle).

Don't forget Giratina Lv. X. Great for stalling too if you can keep your opponent's hand to 0 cards and they want to play the one they just got. Houndoom UD is also not bad for discarding.

Also, if you're playing a discard/hand minimization deck, play Chatot G and 4 Poketurn. You really don't want them drawing into an Uxie, etc.
