A Good Blastcatty List

[chriscobi634]

Pokemon: 22
3-2-3 Blastoise
2-2 Delcatty
2-2 Bronzong (MT)
1-1 Dialga G Lv.X
1 Uxie
1 Unown G
1 Kyogre
1 Dialga (PL #5, Reverse Time)

Supporters:10
4 Felicity's Drawing
3 Bebe's
3 Roseanne's

Trainers: 12
3 Broken Time Space
3 Rare Candy
3 Dusk Ball
1 Luxury Ball
2 Warp Point

Energy: 16
4 Call Energy
12 Water

Many people will question the Zong over Claydol. But Zong is so much better for this deck than Claydol. Especially early in the game if you can't draw into a Felicity's. After a Uxie drop it'll keep up with Claydol builds. It might even outspeed then by having Energy in the discard first. I've yet to see a Blastcatty list use Call Energy and wondered why? It improves consistency so much.

Kyogre is really the "secret" tech here, another thing lacking in Blastcatty lists. It doesn't have to be Kyogre but any tech in general. When you have energy acceleration it's a good idea to add a tech to catch your opponent off guard.

I don't question that it would work better. I question how you plan to fit all this in a 60 card deck.

I love how almost no one reads the entire thing. Other times I have said "Don't suggest to take out Card A or B". Then within a few post that's the thing suggested.

By putting emphasis in Kyogre being a tech you would think I would like to keep it in there.

i'd fine some room there for Regice LA

[ralis]

hey above poster...
bronzong mt?
....lol it discards a card and then draws 1 if its an nrg draw 2.
no need for more discard.

Gotta ask why you chose Dusk Ball over Quick Ball? Perhaps you could use the 3 spaces for Dialga G and the X to combat Ampharos and perhaps a second Unown G.

I like your idea with the Bronzong over Claydol, its synergy with Blastoise and Delcatty is remarkable.


Your list seems solid, but I have to say the 3 spots for the Dusk Balls could be used for something more.

I do have Dialga G Lv.X.

I know what you mean, 22 Pokemon is iffy even for Dusk Ball but they increase speed which this deck needs.

At first I was trying it out like this:
4 Bebe's
4 Roseanne's
4 Rare Candy

But cut 1 of each to make room for the 3 Dusk Balls. Before the change it was consistent but it wasn't as fast. With the Dusk Ball it goes from being a T4/T5 to being a T3/T4 deck which is pretty good, while maintaining consistency.

The question I have is weather the Dialga G Lv.X is really needed, besides Ampharos what else would give Blastcatty a hard time?

[Broken Deckz]

Once again im gonna say this, Palkia G is more useful than Diaga G...
i dont know why so many poeple would rather use Dialga. Palkia fits better
(energy wise). it has a better attack, good power, whats not ta like?

Kyogre, that's not a half bad idea. id say youd need another one of those.

[chriscobi634]

Palkia G is a pretty good side-kick in Blastcatty but Dialga is more useful tech. It counters a lot of useful Bodies that would otherwise destroy Blastcatty. Dialga G/Lv.X requires way too much energy too attack. Then your discarding enough with Blastoise, and anything that requires discarding energies is bad as it doesn't allow you to build up for Aqua Press.

I've playtested with my list and didn't like the results. Any tech or side-kick that requires more discarding is bad in the deck. After only 1 day of playtesting I'm about ready to give up on the deck as I don't see it doing well in Top Cut unless it gets really lucky or favorable matches. In a good Metagame it's going to have a hard getting there in the first place. So any useful from the better players are helpful suggestions are appreciated.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

I'm rethinking my Bronzong over Claydol build. But without that early discard I find it hard to keep up with other decks. A Regice or Lunatone might be needed with Claydol but then Bench space is tight.

[Bippa201]

Palkia DOES NOT work in Blastcatty. Dialga is the play there.

Anyway, you say the problem is, what?

[Broken Deckz]

Sorry, but ive heard so many people say the whole blastcatty idea is hopeless, for as long as ive been tryning ta post mine, people said nothing but negativity... such as u bippa. or was it the palkia in there you where talking about?

No one ever takes my advise, i guess its cuz my lack of experience.

It's not that I don't want to take your advice, I said the Palkia G is an ok idea. But after playtesting with Kyogre I realised that the deck just doesn't cut it, no matter what is put into it. Maybe a consistent list with no techs could get in Top Cut but as soon as it faces a very unfavorable match-up it's going to lose. Then on paper it doesn't seem to have an favorable match-ups, unless it's facing a Water or Colorless weak deck.

[Bippa201]

Broken Deckz - it is not hopeless. It actually is a very solid deck. But your idea of Palkia is, a little, bad. when I posted in yout thread, you said that it was the main attacker. Then why was it called Blastcatty when it used Palkia over Blastoise. Don't get me wrong, I like your advice, but I play test when I give my advice so I know what is what. It all looks good on paper, but you have to see it in action.

I'm not trying to insult you Broken Deckz.
