I don't know, I've been out of the game for a couple of months. But I have heard that the Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode/Rocket's Sneasle ex deck does real well. That's a dark pokemon deck, so this deck is built to fight stuff like it.

That deck does do very well. Played one yesterday that T4 or better in a very competitive tournament 15+ with 32 players in the group (Vista CC). That deck, like Magma, relies on speed. Then, there's Blaze/Ex/Ray which has tremendous recovery.

Piloswine is underrated, but needs the deck built around it. Otherwise its too slow. I've seen it T8 at Camp Pendleton CC.

If I'm running Togetic, I'd like to run fire NRG with it and max the DRE because I want to Volcanic Trash some importan targets:

Firestarter Blaziken on the Bench (can't use DRE).
Pidgeot on the Bench (can't use DRE).
Rayquaza on the Bench (can't use DRE).
and follow with a DRE to get after the Delcatty or TA Manectric with the second shot.


I might combo this we HL Lanturn instead of Piloswine and run about half Lightning/Fire plus 4 DRE.
I like the Lanturn that does 10 to the active and 10 to each of 2 benched PKMN. That attack could put some things in range of HL Lanturn's 90 attack.

If you've been out of the game a little while, you might not have those cards. Good luck with the 'counter' deck.

PS - remember Togetic copy's the BENCH attacks. You might like warp point to bench and KO an attacker.

does this deck counter dark type pokemon because pokemon with dark in its name is dark so
take out any thing for the huntail line from hidden legends to do a lot of damage

Awsome! I never would have thought of that! Thanks :smile:
