Help with LuxChomp

*Machamp Freak* · 02/04/2011, 02:34 PM

So this is something I've been mentally working. I didn't test it out because I'm waiting for some cards to arrive, this would be the list:

POKEMON (19)
1x Luxray GL LV.X
2x Luxray GL
2x Garchomp C LV.X
2x Garchomp C
1x Dialga G LV.X
1x Dialga G
1x Uxie LV.X
2x Uxie
1x Azelf
1x Unown Q
1x Dragonite FB
1x Toxicroak G (Promo)
2x Crobat G
1x Bronzong G

Energies (13)
4x Double Colorless Energy
3x Call Energy
2x Warp Energy
2x Lightning Energy
1x Psychic Energy
1x Metal Energy (Basic)

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums (28)
4x Cyrus's Conspiracy
4x Poketurn
3x Power Spray
3x SP Radar
3x Energy Gain
2x Pokemon Collector
2x Professor Oak's New Theory
2x Bebe's Search
1x Aaron's Collection
1x Expert Belt
1x Palmer's Contribution
1x Vs. Seeker
1x Twins

Basically the idea is a LuxChomp deck with Dialga G as anti-body-tech and in some cases trainer-lock. Garchomp snipes, Lux X (I only have 1) for draging out and easy prizes, Dragonite to counter SP decks, Uxie (X) for draw power etc.

The thing is... Since it has not been tested, I believe something is missing or something is extra. A piece of advice would be nice and please explain why you chose to swap specific cards for others.

-1 metal energy, i don't see much use for thin in here.
+1 Luxray (non-lv. X.) It better and helps against the gyarados matchup.

*Machamp Freak* · 02/04/2011, 02:47 PM

I did not put an extra Luxray because my metagame does not have a Gyarados deck XD
It as mostly SP and VileGar.

Keep the metal. Emergency deafen or lucario's attack against gigas. Just gives you more options and it's only your fourth basic energy. I would, however take out a warp for the 2 lux x (if ya got it). Mostly for the vilegar matchup, actually. Easier to get very early bright looks off, hopefully to help you break the lock. Also, it's for later in the game when you can't poketurn. It's worth it.

*Machamp Freak* · 02/04/2011, 03:52 PM

I know, but the odds of me getting another Lux X soon are slim. As far as I know, I'm the only person who has only one in my entire country XD
I keep asking myself if I should put in r another Metal energy and if 3 calls are a good choice (less?).

IDK if you need 2 Bats. Remove one for a Smeargle UD.

Otherwise, looks good!Maybe a 4th Call?

Porii Sames · 02/04/2011, 04:12 PM

Remove the Luxray line entirely if you have no Gyarados...Garchomp C box...

pjwlrs · 02/04/2011, 04:15 PM

Garchomp C box cant handle Lostgar or Gyarados near as well as Luxchomp can, really no point in cutting it this format.

*Machamp Freak* · 02/04/2011, 04:22 PM

Don't have the 4th call and smeargle. maybe a Sableye instead of 2nd Crobat?

He has none of that in his meta...

pjwlrs · 02/04/2011, 04:49 PM

*Garchomp Box cant handle Vilegar as well either. Or Dialgachomp...

Mama_Luigi · 02/04/2011, 04:52 PM

Chomp box is for people that don't have luxrays.
And even then, Blazechomp would still be a better choice.

-1 Crobat G
+1 Ambipomb G

AMbipomb G gives you another counter to opposing garchomps. It gives you a donk option with DCE. It's energy switch attack can also be a game saver in certain cases.

I could easily do the Ambipom tech for 1x Crobat G, it will give me an advantage in some situations. Thanks.

Any other ideas?
