Hey everyone I have been mega-curious about the potential of this card since I opened up my first couple packs of Destiny around the time I was at the NJ Stadium Challenge. Everybody seems to agree the card is good to a point but nobody I have seen can make it work or cares to. I have tried to tweak this deck at least 5 times now and I am so out of ideas it's not funny. So here is the latest revision and what has happened so far:

4 Mareep (2 Headbutt and 2 Thunder Jolt)
4 Dark Flaafy
3 Dark Ampharos
3 Cleffa
3 Igglybuff
2 Smoochum (Metal removal since Steelix is out there)

19 Pokemon

3 Bill
3 Professor Elm
3 Focus Band
3 Bill's Teleporter
3 Pokemon Trader
3 Double Gust
3 Rocket's Hideout
3 Thought Wave Machine
2 Energy Charge

26 Trainers

11 Electric 4 Darkness

Basically the point is to use the Dark Ampharos as most efficiently as I can, be it with it's power to pick away at Pokemon or to use it's attack to power up to maximum efficiency. I have had major problems with Steelix, hence the Smoochum and the Thought Wave Machine which is there to kill a turn if I have little options. I just don't see what else can be done so I figured you wise souls could help a girl out...so send your thoughts my way and maybe we can make this work! Thanks [Eek!]

--------------------
Archetypes suck and will be destroyed, those of you not bright enough to make your own decks don't deserve your victories and aren't worthy of my admiration or respect...anyone else of course with neurons to build their own deck can be my friend and partner in crime. Hahaha :)

20 Pokemon
4 Mareep (2 Headbutt and 2 Thunder Jolt)
1 Dark Flaafy
2 Flaffy (Revelation, My daughters fav)
2 Dark Ampharos
1 Ampharos Revelation)
3 Slugma
3 Dark Magcargo (Since Steelix is out there)
2 Cleffa
2 Igglybuff

23 Trainers
3 Bill
3 Professor Elm
3 Focus Band
3 Pokemon Breeder
3 Boss’s Way
3 Double Gust
3 Rocket's Hideout
2 Gold Berry

Energy 17
7 Fire
7 Electric
3 Rainbow/Dark (You Choose)

I tried to stick to your original desire to use D. Amphy.
Sticking with the bench damaging theme, I figure D. Cargo would be helpful. I changed out the Trader’s for Boss’s way to assist in getting those Dark Pokemon out a little quicker. I trade 1 D. Amphy with a regular Amphy for the Attract Current attack. 3 flips for energy search plus 20 damage isn’t shabby. Regular Flaffy has a bench hitting attack as well. Plus he uses D. Amphy’s attack cost of LCC.
Since Steelix is a nemesis to you, I took out the flipping Smoochum and opted for Steelix weakness. The added Bench damaging helps with Pichu as he would eat this deck. I hope you like it. It took 3 hours to come up with Bench Annihilation Package Supreme. If you can get 3 D. Cargo’s going
-----singing-----Bye Bye Baby!!! Hope you like it!!

--------------------
Either, you Pokemon Yes, or you Pokemon no. If you Pokemon Guess So, sooner later, "squish" justa like bug Pokemon!!

OK, try this:

15
3 Dark Ampharos
3 Cleffa
2 Dark Flaaffy
2 Igglybuff
4 Mareep (NG)
1 Tyrogue

25
4 Bill
4 Double Gust
3 Focus Band
2 Pokémon Breeder
3 Pokémon Trader
4 Professor Elm
3 Rocket's Hideout
2 Time Capsule

20
4 Darkness
16 Lightning

Smoochum isn't that good and put in a fire pokemon with colorless energy cost instead of the tyrogue if you really fear steelix, like, uhm, the neo genesis magmar!

Yes! Finally someone using a good card like Dark Amphy!!!

This card rules against Fire and Electric Decks, since both types use lots of energy, you slowly weaken them and take them out with your Shock Bolt. I only have one, (Having more than one in play cancels the effect) and I continually destroy those big Fire decks.
