STRATEGY QUESTIONS

[Gatsu]

i think this will be locked dcuz here is allowe just to talk and fix about a 60 cards deck.

i think that the name of the section is wrong but that's it.

none of the section of the forum is right for this kind of discussion (single card is wrong cuz it's not a single card discussion).

oh well...


it's really up on how the ludicargo in built:

Dragtrode
if ludi has rhydon and BF it's an auto loss. It always has a shard so it's not a wise idea lo leave draggy active unless you have a second one bencehd.
the best is wait for a ludicilo and ohko it with electrode, then wait a second one... be carefull with senasel (two prizes)
try to beat it in speed and setup



Magma
easy matchup, magma has to have a large bench so you can kill easily even gorudon....
try to beat it ludi speedness (hard hard)




Zap-turn-dos

thought for ludiciolo (but lanturn tech helps) cuz of weakness and ultra fast setup, always try to have a lanturn benched and a Double rainbow (as soon possible)

Blaze...(Will Be Hard)

not really, try to be as fast as hell and use fast blaziken Ex to take down a first ludicolo, a second will come, be ready with a rayquaza (or a second blazy EX) always having 2 firestarter. sometimes send in pidgeot to gain time..

Or Dark Slow king

it's al about fast setup, keep just 2 slowking at a time so that it can't ohko (5+2=70 damage)
abuse cunung as soon as possible, look out for lanturn!

okay thats the reply im looking for...one deck would have done but you did em ALL!!! ...thanks for the help...i really hope they dont shut it down...im just tired of seeing what decks look like i wanna see how they WORK...

[AdamGadir]

no problem! ;)
ludicolo is not an easy deck to build strategy against cause it has a lot of space to tech and for variants.

Most common are:


Pokemon
->lanturn: good against L weak, Good cuz it can be fully powered in 1 turn (doing 80).
->Rhidon: good cuz it can sometimes protect bech, has an uncommon weakness and can attack for 60 (with just Double) amost any pokemon. Colorless,dark and electric pokemon are weak againt it).
->Deoxys/grumpig to fight psichic weak pokemon.


Stadium
->battle frontier
->desert ruins


Tech
-> Pow
-> reversal
->strenght charm (nullify the tip of dark slowking for example)
->crystal shard
-> ATM rocks
->retriver
-> roket admin
->scrmble energies



when you see a dratini and a voltorb benched you know what to expect.
when you see a larvitar and mareep idem.

but when you see a lotad and a slugma you probably know for sure about 45-50 cards and 10-15 can be (nasty) surprises...


the best thing is to test test and test again against a skilled player using different decks and different kinds of ludicargo!




i think it's worst match up is Medicham and pheraps Rock lock (rain dish and rhydon helps a lot with this)

[Jariel]

i really think that going against any deck the best way is to kill the engine or better yet kill the basic form of the engine

dragtrode. kill dark dragonite and dark electrode
blaziken. ofcourse use ur advantage of fire being weak to water, as for rayquaza use crystal shard
magma. kill claydol and camerupt
zapturndos. i really cant suggest anything other than using a lanturn to hit zapdos ex


my best bet is going with 2-2 lanturn tech and 4 dre and 1 crystal shard (i think its a standard in ludicargo hehehe)
