drop pidgeot, rare candys, atm rock could stay or go. Drop Briney. Go 4 rocket ball 3 stevens and 3 tv reporter and/or rockets mission. You get the speed from dark dragonair. Thats why you don't need pidgeot. Rare candy is not needed because if you can get dragonair turn 2 (I get it 95% of the time) and it is played with rockets sneasel (add at least 2) this deck will be doing a min. of 80 turn 3.

Wolf has a slight point. I haven't played this specific line-up, but at first glance, your draw-engine suffers a bit and your cards are too wide-spread. The original focus of the deck seems to be lacking.

Lastly, I love Pigiot, but I don't think it has the synergy you’re looking for - for this deck. As-is, I would rate it around a 6/10, because it appears to lack in consistency. I'll try it out myself and see how it works before I make any more statements.

Yeah that looks pretty good Colin, i might try that :), and thanks on the font hehe.
But to the other folks, Pidgeot is very good in this deck b/c of Quaza, it can One Hit ko it, and that is needed, plus i can get set up faster by searching for evos that i need, and if they happen to warp, then i just send up pidgeot, And Sneasel is just Bait to a Bex, so thats another thing not needed, b/c Draggy can do alot of damage...

ok, this is the deck i won my CC with but i guess you can run it without sneasel if you want, It is the worst card to start with!

i played this deck with dodrio (the retreat aid one) which meant u cud evolutionary light twice in a turn and everything had free retreat. I also playd electrode ex with a couple of surprise time machine (which admittedly dint hav a free retreat) to bring down any really massive exs and, if ur really winning but uve lost all ur dark energies, u can die with it and get them all back in play.
the dodrio meant i had dragonite, which theoretically can do 90 damage, which is a non ex with a free retreat. have another one on the bench for backup and hey presto, one get damaged, retreat and fight with the next.
it didnt work brilliantly, i had a trainer problem- nothing to get out basics really, but with a few dual balls it started running better.
Just thought i would throw in the dodrio idea really- and electrode ex if ur feelin extra fruity! lol

It depends on how you look at it - you have to be objective.

Yes 90HP seems low, BUT

1. It avoids Ruins
2. It has the potential of doing up to 150 damage - quickly
3. The HP can be raised to 110 w/ Rocket's Gym

That's not much to complain about ;)

Well i understand this, but I don't want to have to have the Rocket Hideout in here for a reason, ruins, and Sneasel is just Bait for a Bex IMO.
