Spiritomb counters in Unlimited

Arks Arcanum · 07/28/2011, 12:59 PM

So I have been working on making the most consistent donk/bench deck possible but struggle to find a good spiritomb counter.

DGx is too slow and bulky
Regice fails to deal with a loan tomb or multi-tombs

Any ideas?

In all honesty I can't really think of anything. Because if it's unlimited then you won't be able to easily counter Spiritomb unless you're running multiple supporters in order to be able to do something under trainer lock. But then if you're running multiple supporters then it won't really be too good at benching the opponent on turn one. If you do happen to be running Pokemon Collector already and Broken Time-Space then Fossil Muk could be a decent enough hopeful counter to Spiritomb. http://pokebeach.com/scans/fossil/13-muk.jpg

Thanks for the tip! but a big problem is getting it out and it shuts off my own powers too.

Space Center (DX).

^ Yep. 4 of 'em, every deck IMO.

I like Magby (Neo Genesis).

Magby doesn't stop spiritomb...

^At that time, powers and bodies were the same thing so it would stop Spiritomb because that was how the card was supposed to work. I don't like it as a counter, though because most unlimited decks don't have enough energy to effectively use it and you lock your own powers too.

I think Space Center is best but in decks that rely on BTS or another stadium can run a combination of Regice, Pokemon Collector, Roseanne's Research and Holon Mentor. The total should add up to 10 cards, which hurts a lot in Sabledonk and a good chunk of other unlimited decks. For that deck you probably want to run Space Center.
