HGSS-on AmbiVile

Urza · 01/19/2012, 11:28 AM

So, I have been working on this Ambivile deck...looking for some pointers. Still new to the competitive scene.

Pokemon: 26
4-4 Weavile (HS Undaunted)
2-2 Slowking (Call of Legends, Good Slowpoke)
4-4 Ambipom
1 Tyrogue
2-2 Donphan Prime
1 Boufallant
Trainers: 22
4 PONT
3 Juniper
2 Pokemon Collector
1 Junk Arm
4 Seeker
2 Dual Ball
2 Switch
4 Pokemon Communication
Energy: 12
4 Special Dark
4 Double Colorless
4 Rainbow

The Gameplan:
So, the basic strategy is that you utilize Ambipom and Weavile to keep your opponent off of a hand with discard, while at the same time using Slowking when possible to stack their deck to avoid favorable draws. Donphan is here for a heavy hitter, but I have also considered 1-1 Blissey (Non-prime).

I am still having trouble against heavy hitters, I am trying to figure out this deck's strengths and weaknesses, but I love the hand disruption.

Help would be appreciated.

Also, I am still not sold on Judge as it seems to undermine the Slowking.

Judge is actually very good with Slowking. They're stuck with 4 cards on hand and you control what they draw.

But Slowking + Ambipom on the other hand is kinda useless because Ambipom makes them shuffle their deck anyway. Swap Ambipom for Persian or drop Slowking. If you run Persian you can utilize fliptini.

Hmm, I may try that. How much is fliptini?
