Haha, niiiice build. Wouldn't wanna face that...

if I wasn't playing lightning! :'D

More Claydol ftw?
 
hmm.. heres the thing with Japan.. they can still set up without having to use claydol in their deck.. ive translated about 5 decks in the past 3 days... this is only one to use Claydol...
 
:D Japan rules. No Claydol FTW. There don't appear to be olderf cards either :p Does this deck do well then?
 
Thats because Its DP-On lol....
and it should.. Im gonna start testing this one tonight.. ill let ya know how it goes... its hard to find people to test with lol considering most I know are getting ready for worlds.
 
I don't see why it's so good. You need a Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, AND Politoed in play before the effect triggers. The extra damage is only present on Wag/Whirl/Wrath. Wrath's first attack becomes useless after the first time it's used. His second attack hits himself for 80 when Politoed is in play. So you pretty much obliterate their active, but DMG yourself heavily in the process asking to be KO'd next turn.

Doesn't seem worth it imho.

Good luck with the deck.
 
LOL Politoed makes Poliwrath an epic fail-whale. But Poliwag and Poliwhirl are really good with Politoed up and running. 1 for 70, 2 for 80, or 3 for 100 and 50% paralyze seems pretty good. And Poliwrath is fine by itself.

What puzzles me is the lack of Warp Point. It helps you go "Surprise! 120 for 1" when you're set up, and with Buck's that's a magic 130.

Wouldn't Dusknoir also give it fits?

I see your point, BUT I do love Wraths 1 for 120 and Whirls 3 for 100 and possible paralysis.
Doesn't seem that great, but it may be good.

In Japan, consistency comes first! :thumb:


This deck actually looks pretty amazing despite its skeptical reviews. Anyone remember when Blissey was shown, "Ew, this sucks!" Yeah, we'll see. That list looks pretty solid like most of the Japanese lists but meh.

lol
Blissey never was viewed as a sucky card.
In fact, it was one of the most hyped cards of Mysterious Treasures.
The list is good, but I dunno.
 
- 1 POV
+ 1 Phione

If you think about it, phione could be beast in this deck

DId not see that Madhatter, too many polis next to phione got me confused. So ya the deck looks near perfect

Switch is good. That way, you can switch between two Poliwraths to deal 120 dmg each turn. But that's a pretty full bench, heh. Poliwag, Poliwhirl, 2 Poliwrath, a Politoed, and probably a Claydol (you'll need it).
 
ahh yeah since claydol is essential. = /
and you cant have all that out lol cuz thats more than 4 wag in the deck...
Active:
Wrath or Toed
Bench:
wag
whirl
Wrath/Toed
and dol but its not neccessary thats why theres only 1.
 
Pachirisu>Call energy here, u cant risk a Poliwag begin Knocked out T1 or2........it only has 40 HP........anyway, 4 roseanne's is too much. ,maybe 3 is already ok.....
