Flygon ex d and Cursed Stone

[thethirdckelly1]

Seems like a good combo to me...obviously you wouldn't be able to use queen or flygon d, but it would kill anything that uses powers, and with cursed stone, sand damage, and psychic pulse you will dominate their bench

[flariados]

yes it's nice but with flygon d and nidoqueen it's much faster.

[Ardoptres]

You could use it with Flygon d', Nidoqueen d' etc..
Just use Roselia LM?

[thethirdckelly1]

Roselia LM?...explain please

[Ardoptres]

It's body.. React Energy.. Read the card..

[HornetsBasketballFan]

you'd still end up taking 10 damage

[Ardoptres]

No, because Roselia removes 10 damage between turns.

[cloud9]

But you need a React enegy on Flygon ex d, Flygon d and Nidoqueen d + also one on Roselia.

[flariados]

too bad it doesn't work on pokemon ex

[KazamBolt]

No. That hurts you every time while your opponent may not even be using powers.

im playin a deck now with roselia LM and gengar LM and when reactive aroma gets workin its awesome but theres no way at all you could get a flygon d and nidoqueen d with reacts as well as a roselia with a react...just no way

and also it doesnt need to work on pokemon ex because flygon ex doesnt have a power...

I'm all for Roselia healing, but it doesn't seem to consistently work in a few versions I tried:

Pros:
1. Flygon ex d doesn't have a Power, so Cursed Stone doesn't hurt it.
2. ReactRose healing is half-decent on a Flygon d.
3. Many decks use Powers as an accelerating force, so many are susceptible to Cursed Stone's effect.

Cons:
1. You need to run 4 React just to have a chance of drawing a few of them in time. At least this is the case for me.
2. Roselia doesn't show up for me when I need it to, and often will take up a bench space I could be putting to better use.
3. It takes 2 turns to lay down 2 React Energy.
4. You could use Fearow d, and get set up quick before it gets Knocked Out, freeing up a Bench space for Roselia, but it seems a bit wasteful, even more so if you use Nidoqueen d instead.
5. You can't really use it with Altaria ex d, unless you like giving away free Prizes.
6. Many decks run counter-stadiums, Windstorm, Tauros, etc. to get rid of Stadiums.

Conclusion:
ReactRose healing works better in a deck that can find a way to move the React Energy that doesn't use Powers to move the Energy, or can "rain" down React Energy. Flygon ex d with Cursed Stone would "kill anything with Powers", unless, as most decks do, it can counter this.

Sidenote:
I too ran a Roselia / Gengar deck in the past, but was in generally disappointed in its late-game performance.

No, I didn't, and to be frank, that smiley always seemed kinda vague to me.
