Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Garchomp (LvX) and Molters?

you can't bring back a basic pokemon..... I think.....


NOPE i was wrong you can bring back basics but I think there are better pokemon to use with garchomp
 
I am just trying to think outside the box. I know most folks are thinking Stage 2s with Garchomp's attack, but a fully charged Molters doing 100 damage on the next turn is nothing to snease at.

I am also thinking Alakazam would be great too. You could discard energies all day and get them back with Garchomp if you wanted ;)
 
Wouldn't infernape MD be better with chomp becuase it has free retreat, does more damage with 3 fires and also it has a decent first attack.
 
It might be a good counter to leafeon with a Lake B in play.

Um why do you need Lake B? Leafeon = 100 + 20 > 90. Leafeon LvX = 100 + 30 > 110. Notice that this is a one hit KO even if they have Espeon in play. I have plans for Moltres next season, however not if Kingdra or any water pokémon gets big obviously.
 
Just a few things:

1.) Garchomp does 110 for 3 energy.
2.) Moltres does 100 (130 to grass) for 3 energy and has to discard all of them.
3.) It takes same effort to restore a Garchomp as to restore a Moltres.
4.) Moltres has x2 water weakness and is OHKOed by Empoleon, Kingdra etc.
5.) Moltres forfeits using its power when called with restore.

Sorry, but I don't see any reason to play Moltres with Garchomp.
Moltres is a nice card, but for Garchomp, there are a lot of better co-Pokémon / techs.

It might be a good counter to leafeon with a Lake B in play.
Are there still players who have Leafeon decks without Umbreon?
 
Moltres is great for the power, but then you can't restore energy onto it. Of course, rotom gets around a tails for the power. Its also faster then garchomp and can be an early attacker. But, with that new rayquaza coming out, I don't see moltres being played over him (maybe along with him...).
