I'm not amazing at this game but I thought I actually made a decent deck for once. I decided to post it here. I'm really only putting it up here because its something different for a change.
So I was looking through translations of GE one day and I was like “ Wow, Sloking’s power is nasty but it sucks that it only activates after you get killed. If only there was something that could take advantage of falling behind on prizes. Oh wait….Scramble.” And obviously Magmortar is a beast with Scramble. There was also Premier Ball that stood out from the translations and since Mag X is sick too I of course added in a bunch of Premier Balls. List ended up looking like this in literally like 3 minutes lol. Didn’t change a thing after that.
Pokemon: 17
4 Sentret
2 Furret
3 Magmar
3 Magmortar
1 Magmortar Lv X
2 Slopoke
2 Slowking
Trainer: 26
4 Celios Network
3 Night Maitenence
3 Premeir Ball
3 Warp Point
3 Roseannes Research
2 Stevens
2 Galactics
1 Coyp Cat
2 TVR
3 Battle Frontier
Energy: 17
4 Scramble
2 DRE
11 Fire
Basic Strat: Infinite Magmortar LV X Swarm
Detailed:
Everything is pretty self explanatory. Furret sets up while acting as Scramble Bait. Sloking gets whatever you weren’t able to grab off of Keen Eye ( ie: the only way to search out Scramble/ Premier Ball in the format without using an attack. ). 3 Night Maitenence so that you keep a constant flow of Mags coming. Battle Frontier because we needed a way to counter Crystal Beach if it ever came up plus it stops all the Delcatty variants of Magmortar/Gatr ( which could probably beat this if we didn’t have them ) as well as random Togekiss we might see. It was awesome because nobody plays maxed Windstorm anymore. People have started replacing them with Warp Point to stop CC so we could always lock the BF.
Basically a battle will look like this.
Keen Eye whatever you need
Use Trump Card ( or two, which you’re able to set up a lot. DOUBLE QUICK SEARCH COMEON HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE IT?!?!?!?!?) and get the Scramble/ Premo / whatever you’re missing.
Spread with Mag X while burning them.
Do it over and over the entire battle.
Matchups: ( These were based off battles of 10. Every list was a tournament winning one )
Gallade: 60-40
We only tested against the absol version. Furret and Sloking are basically anti- absol but just like every other deck you’ll lose if they get lucky discards. Psychic Lock does nothing against you since you don’t rely on powers and if they only wanna do 30-40 to Magmortar per turn with it it’s fine by me. Have fun 4 shotting it while we’re sniping your bench. Gallade also can’t consistently knock out Mag Xs. They can only flip over 4 prizes once. After that the game is yours. Plus, a Scrambled Sloking does 60 to them so its not a bad attacker either. Every turn after that it does 120.
It honestly comes down to if they get good discards with absol.
Magmortar / Typhlosion / Delcatty : 70-30
Easiest matchup. Battle Frontier stops Energy Draw while you abuse Trump Card. Magmortar LV X always beats regular Magmortar which leaves Typhlosion the only thing you really have to waste Flame Buster on. They’ll usually always attack first anyway because they aren’t just going to leave Pachirisu up to do nothing. If not, just warp point Furret out of the active and go to town.
Gatr – 70 – 30 ( We only tested against the Catty version. )
Also easy. They have weakness but it really doesn’t matter much. Use Galactics and Battle Frontier to lock them. It’s as simple as that really.
Flygon ex PK – 100 – 0 ( I actually got bored, proxied this, and tested it lol. SPARTA was making such a big deal about it and I just wanted to prove to myself that we could beat it. We beat it all 10 times with a better version of his list )
This deck got three 4-2 finishes. Only losses were to Empoleon, Gallade w/ Empoleon tech – I know, crazy, and regular Gallade. I also lost to my brother in Mirror.

So anyway, bash the deck as much as you want but it works, and it works well.
