Fun Empoleon Deck

Pokemon: 19
4 Empoleon
3 Prinplup
4 Piplup
2 Claydol
2 Baltoy
4 Pachirisu

Trainers: 26
3 Rare Candy
3 Celio's Network
3 Professor Oak's Visit
3 Pokedex HANDY910is
3 Castaway
2 Buffer Piece
2 Roseanne's Research
2 Night Maintenance
2 Team Galactic's Wager
2 Strength Charm
1 Crystal Shard

Energy: 15
3 Holon WP
3 Scramble
2 DRE
7 Water

I forget who, but someone over on Pokebeach made this, and he said it took out G&G, Bliss, and Magmortar, so I'm like "wow...ok whatever you say" say I figured I'd build it on RedShark and test it out, and what do you know? It did . So this is basically my version of the deck with my own tweaks to the trainers.

It's a Swift Empoleon, but you use Pachy starters to swarm your bench with Piplups and discard those quick Cessation Locks. Claydol constintaly refeuls the small hand that Swift Empoleon tends to have, and you just sweep from there !

~Match-Ups~

Gallade & Gardevoir (50-50) Probably the toughest match-up, but like I said, it can beat it. Empoleon has to high of HP to be OHKOed by Gallade (unless you feel like flipping over 4 prizes) but Gallades first attack seems to be a hassle, but I just added 3 Holon WP to help with this.

Blissey (55-45) Easier, but still hard. Blisseys high HP makes it a challange, but it doesn't have a high enough damage output T2/T3 to make me worry. Early snipes usually puts a new Blissey within OHKO range once it comes up.

Magmortar (75-25) WEAKNESS!!! Holon FF helps them, but is usually hard to get out, since it can't be searched out. Empoleon can't OHKO Mag, but he would need 7 energy to OHKO me. Also, I keep up with his speed and have heavier damage and snipes.

Sceptile (65-35) He has a resistance but htats why I snipe and have CC. This is a horrible card in general, so I don't see it posing much of a threat.

Electivire (60-40) It doesn't seem much play anymore, but ya...weakness. The things that save me are Electivire's high energy cost and low HP. Usually I can get the T3 KO but if not Anyways my speed usually conquers all

Don't play crystal shard because you still 2HKO sceptile. Also if electrivire matchup is 40-60 then make GG 30-70 becasue GG is always a harder matchup then electrivire. Make GG 45-55 and Electriviver 60-40 becuase you can use cess. crystal to lock them and that is why you should take out buffer pieces and another card out to put in 3 cess. crystals.
