Chenlock

[Pokebert]

Pokemon (21):

4 Sableye
2-2 Garchomp C lv. X
2-1 Blaziken FB lv. X
1-1 Honchkrow (SV)
2-1 Uxie lv. X
1 Unown Q
1 Crobat G
1 Chatot G
1 Ambipom G
1 Honchkrow G

T/S/S (27):

4 Cyrus’s Conspiracy
3 Pokemon Collector
2 Judge
2 Cyrus’s Initiative
2 Bebe’s Search
2 Aaron’s Collection
3 Energy Gain
4 Poke Turn
2 Power Spray
2 SP Radar
1 Premier Ball

Energy (12):

4 Double Colorless
4 Special Dark
2 Dark
2 Fire

Strategy: Like any Chenlock:
Start with Sableye and use Impersonate to use Judge and Initiative to disrupt your opponent. Then snipe your opponents bench with Garchomp C lv X and Honchkrow G or use Blaziken FB to drag in high retreat bench Pokemon and then snipe around it or hit hard with Jet Shoot.
Honchkrow (SV) is incredible: It’s good against VileGar because it hits for weakness, its Power does wonders against Gyarados and it even hits hard against SP.

I’d like to add the following cards but I can’t find the place for them (in order of importance):
Bronzong G
Aaron
Bebe
SP Radar / Premier Ball
Honchkrow G

So what can I take out for those cards? And do you have any other advice?

Thanks in advance :smile:

Looks pretty solid!
I wouldnt have communication though, you have SP Radar for SP Pokemon, and premier ball for Uxie X,
Unown Q, Smeargle, and Uxie can all be searched out via Collector and it just looks wierd randomly having 1 communication :)
Also I would consider adding in another PowerSpray (I run 4 in my chenlock!), but thats just me, if you find that this list works fine then ignore evrything I just said ;)

Hope I helped, :)

Bronzong G
Aaron
Bebe
SP Radar / Premier Ball
Honchkrow G

I'd say:
-1 Honchkrow G for +1 Bronzong G
-1 Crobat G for +1 Aaron's
Communication is good but you've got more better sources of pokemon searching. I'd drop it for one more Bebe's or SP Radar. I think 4 Sableye is really important and must be guaranteed in your first hand so I'd drop Smeargle for one more Sableye.

I really like your list, pretty solid. :biggrin:
About Honchkrow SV, after DCE came out it become a very nice tech in all deck with a ton of basics. I'm running Luxchomp and I dropped Drifblim UD for Honchkrow SV because it makes me have lots of better matchups.

I'll leave here my Chenlock I used, it worked very well and there are Giratina and Mesprit for a total lock. :biggrin:

Max Sableye. I'd play 6 if I could :P

As said, another Power spray or 2 is a good idea. Also get an Unown Q in there, it makes retreating out to Sableye tons easier if you open with Collector (which I prefer 4 of, but JMO). It also makes using Smeargle and Honchkrow's Power a lot easier, as well as Leveling Up Uxie. Other than that it looks solid, I especially like the energy spread.

I might change the communication for a bebe. I chose to play it over luxury ball, because it could also get me a level X, but bebe might be better.
I'll consider taking out my 2nd Crobat for either bronzong or aarons, i will test it to decide what i will play.
I won't take out the honchkrow G, because it can snipe for reasonable damage and it does good damage against a damaged gengar (70 to 90 with 2 special dark) and it's also a pretty good starter.
I do think I'll switch the Smeargle for another Sableye.

anyway thanx for the advice

[Porii Sames]

Dragonite FB is so good in this deck.

[Pokebert]

I think it's a bit too hard to get out, so because of that i play Ambipom. Also Ambipom also has tail code, wich is a great attack.

[Porii Sames]

AMbipom AND Dragonite is good in Sablock.

But since you're playing Chenlock, you have to cut out a few techs...but that Dragonite will win games.

I feel like 2-2 Garchomp an 1 Ambipom is too weak against (Garchomp running) SP, since those are you're only weapons to win Garchomp wars. I would suggest 3-1 Garchomp with 1 Ambipom and an extra Premier ball. You can cut a judge for it (you shouldn't use it that much, Initiative is better). 2 Aaron is bad, 1 Aaron and 1 Vs seeker is way better.

I also feel like 4 Sableye, 0 Smeargle is a weak play, but changing that would change the whole deck. Uxie lv X isn't worth the spot IMO, when you only play 1 Unown Q/0 Lucario. Junk Arm's really good at discarding those extra Sableye.

I also really like Bronzong in here.

EDIT: You forgot Azelf.

How many SP is there really in the Netherlands? Like five or six people or so. I do think VS Seeker would be a good idea. Uxie is decent because you have 1: Draw 2: An attack that does 60 for 1 DCE.
Didn't forget the Azelf, I think him and Bronzong aren't really worth the spots.

[Meesie6x6]

SP's whats winning most over here. ;p
no azelf is a risky play wit only 1 crobat, 1 blaziken lvx, etc. the draw that uxie gives is hard to get off when only playing 1 unown q and sableye. 60 for dce isn't good when you can't hit machamp for 2x weakness.

I don't like what I have seen in this thread until now.
After some testing some time ago I recognized that Chenlockm doesn't really have enough space to go for BDK, so in the end a Chenlock should look somewhere like this:

POKEMON 21
4 Sableye
2 Uxie
1 Uxie LV.X
2 Garchomp C
2 Garchomp C LV.X
2 Blaziken FB
1 Blaziken FB LV.X
1 Unown Q
1 Azelf
1 Toxicroak G
2 Crobat G
1 Dragonite FB
1 Smeargle

TRAINER 28
4 Cyrus' Conspiracy
2 Cyrus' Initiative
3 Pokemon Collector
1 Bebe's Search
2 Judge
3 Energy Gain
4 Poke Turn
4 Power Spray
2 SP Radar
1 Premier Ball
1 Aaron's Collection
1 VS Seeker

ENERGY
4 DCE
3 Dark SP
1 Dark
2 Fire
1 Psychic

This list should work ok and it is very standart.
There is no Chatot G in it, because you don't need it.
Hope I helped you.
