My Dark Heart Does Fine without Pidgeot and the 3 Dunsparce work really good because i dont have to worry so much of topdecking a Dunsparce when not need.

Hey, here is my fix
-1 Warp
-2 Wally's
-1 R
+1 Sparce
+2 Swoop
+1 Shard
Swoop will help this deck be more consistant. Shard does help in Mirror, i know that for a fact.

[PokeMontoya]

Rockets Scyther to counter rock lock is cool also

[MrMeches]

Trainers: 24
3 Steven's Advice
2 Cozmo
2 Bill's Maintenance
2 Admin or Pro. Oak's Research(Your Preference)
4 Rocket Ball (or 3 Rocket Ball and c below)
2 Rare Candy
2 Desert Ruin
2 Tricky Gym or Hideout (Your Choice)
1 Retriever (Gotta have at least one JIC)
1 Super Scoop Up
2 Warp Point
1 Scott (Or no Scott and c below)
BELOW:
2 Crystal Shard

This might help out some for you! The only other Suggestion would in the Final PLace n the deck (as with my changes you have exactly 1 spot) add the R. Scyther EX to take care of Grass weak Pokes! Straight Draw in this deck I am finding works better than Shuffle draw do to D.Electrode and D.Dragonair thinning it, you will get enough shuffle from that!

Hope it works, but Draggy is more of a Personal touch deck with what you feel works for you. IMHO though, TVR is a BAD choice as there is very little you want to deliberately discard!

[Niqu3]

Thanx Guys i will try those Changes when i can get to yall and get back at yall how things goes

any more Rate/Fix/Comment

Make it a speed draggy, or a pidgeot draggy. The lsit with dunsparce is mainly for pidgeot versions, speed draggy is alot better if you dont like pidgeot.

you drop the duns, any swoops you have... and run trainers like this

4 rocket ball
3 lanette
3 dual ball
3 wally/celio/whatever
draw power
2 retriever(or 1)
2 warp point(briney?)

etc.

something like that, you use trainers instead of sparce. sparce you need 4 of, and 2 swoops, but if you ran 6 searching trainers, it's technically more consistent, because you don't need to swoop out for sparce, and you dont need to retriever back vital pokemon.

sar also wastes a turn, and a slot on the bench.

[Shiloh Phoenix]

What is your gym challenge location? I can get some idea of what type of metagame you're in and make your deck stronger.

[kobain_fan]

try to put in rocket balls and some great balls, it will eliminate supporters, and have 3 rare canys and 3 stadiums for battle frontier, i think thats too much electrodes, try to put in dark hypno

im thinking of running a Speed DragTrode tell me what u think of this deck

[PokeMontoya]

Looks good to me

[KG1337]

This is all personal preference but personally, I prefer Draggy/Sparce/Swoop!/Wally over this as I find it hard to get out all the basics you need w/o sparce. In sparce version, drop dual balls/lanettes and add 4 wallys, 4 swoops, and drop sneasel to 1

[Niqu3]

yea im going to run this deck because i try the swoop thing and it didnt work 4 me

[PokeWisconsin]

It's called Dragtrode.

[Niqu3]

I took out 2 TV Reporter and added 2 Celio's Network

[Shiloh Phoenix]

Okay, for the current list: I like it, but try this: -2 celio's, +1 rocket's poke ball, then take out all copycat and change it to +3 rocket's admin.

I know your thinking why Regirock Ex... It's because of Rocklock, Slaking, and Exploud; most of the DragTrode Hate decks.... 1 hit KO for Dark Ampharos, Dark T-tar, Slaking and Exploud; and trust me, it helps out alot... The only downfall is the fact that it takes 2 fighting, so I would have to draw two rainbow, but with the speed of the deck, i can get them very quickly... I was also think about taking out a Pokemon Retriever for a crystal shard depending on the how many Dragonite decks are being played or Salamence... If there aren't that many Dargonite or Salamence decks then I would put in another Dual Ball or Steven's Advice...

[Hwkeye2]

yes you would manually do it... but don't play the other rainbow until your gonna knock it out... And yes they can bring up another slaking but that's when you bring up your sneazle... you dont' want to bring it up first because it will have most of your dark energies... i've played it against slaking and regirock works well

i dont think regirock is really needed in this deck and plus it start dieing if i play desert ruin or if someone plays it on me so that dont really help and i was think of take out celio network and put back in tv Reporter

[Niqu3]

thanx to everyone esle....any more fixes or comment because i need it because it gym start in (not including today) in 4 days

[shiftrymaster68]

Desert Ruins doesn't hurt Regirock cause he's has Healing Rock, cancelling out Ruins.

[Niqu3]

but i still dont like it in my deck
