Hey i test a lot of kind Gigas deck, i drop the claydol but i think the deck stay slow and i will try drop weaville but lost easy to Dusknoir.
but yours can help me, my questions are:

1- Weaville or Cresselia?
2- Snowpoint or Moonlight?
3- Call energy or Warp Energy?
4- Switch and warp or just switch?
5- If i use Restructure and he choose my palkia im stay locked? just with switch or have other idea?
6- What make to win easy tyranytar?
7- Put pluspower?
8- Great Ball isn´t good in gigas?
9- Claydol what think about this in Gigas?
10- What change in this deck? :)
 
1 - Neither.
2 - Snowpoint.
3 - Neither.
4 - 4 Switch and 2 Warp.
5 - You play Switch
6 - T-Tar is hard, but since you don't run any Evolutions, Primal Swirl does nothing. So you can just 2HKO stuff and kill support, like Darkrai or Claydol.
7 - Yes. 2.
8 - No. Great Ball isn't good.
9 - No. 3-1 Uxie is better than Dol.
10 -
-4 Call
-4 Drawer
-1 Felicity's
-1-1 Weavile

+3 Poke Ball
+1 Uxie
+1 Azelf
+1 Unown G
+2 Warp Point
+1 Premier Ball
+2 Plus Power

Merry Christmas! =)
 
Your deck is all Basics. Why would you need to search out 2 cards? Drawer takes up more space, and you need 2 in your hand for them to do something useful. PokeBall, on the other hand, is much more useful, as you can play it right when you get it, and not have to wait for the second copy, which can cost you the game. The dowside, of course, is the PokeBall requires a flip... but Drawer is alot slower, and Quick Ball is too inconsistent. There are not enough Pokemon for Radar or Dusk Ball, and Great Ball can't get you your Pixies, so PokeBall is better.

Noir is already an Auto-Win without Weavile. If you are really worried about it, you have 3 Unown G. You should win. =)
 
I agree with most of arceus' changes, but instead of adding in a 4th premier ball and a 2nd azelf, add in a water and a fighting. Drop the snowpoint for another metal and either a 4th pokeball or another tsd.

Just curious... what Dusknoir builds are you playtesting against that it's an auto-win?

Dusknoir and Regigigas split ~50/50 W/L when they played each other at my past two cities, and our Masters finalists were far from being pushovers.
 
Dusknoir is an EASY matchup if you are running Unown G.

Gengar AND Dusknoir are a bit of a problem.

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

Mothim MD is actually a much better play against Noir/Gengar, because you can avoid Gengar's Poke-Power by using Spiritomb, PokeBlower + or Cresselia X.

Tyranitar isn't a difficult matchup. The only time Gigas really NEEDS Powers is during setup, and considering Gigas sets up entirely by T2 9/10 times, T-tar isn't using his 'Body all that much.

Abomasnow is an EASY matchup, with Palkia, you warp it to the bench and bring up all of their techs (Claydols, Cresselias, Uxie) and KO them one by one.

i just beat my dads gigas list 3 times today with dusknoir, i run cress and lumineon i just kept spreading with lumineon and took prizes with cress. He runs 2 unkown g and i still beat him by forcing knock outs on dusk lv. X. Its 50-50 since we both got good starts and i think the match could have went either way if draws were different.
 
i use now
3-1 Regi
3-1 Uxie
1 Azelf
1 Lunatone
2 Mesprit
1-1 Palkia
2 Unown G

have other tech if need add?
cresselia is good in this deck? why?

and other 12 energy isn´t low?

Sounds like whoever you were facing wasn't playing the deck that smart. Either discard them via felicities or just dump them down. Abuse mesprit/sacrifice and I never see that type of dusknoir deck ever beating gigas.
 
1- Weaville or Cresselia?
Neither, the two cards get in the way of set up, with little benefit.
2- Snowpoint or Moonlight?
Snowpoint for the Palkia build, it doesn't hurt, not when you can pick and choose what you KO.
3- Call energy or Warp Energy?
Call, for speed reasons. Warp shouldn't help much at all with Palkia.
4- Switch and warp or just switch?
Just switch. Warp Point gets annoying when you want to KO what they already have active, but still require benching.
5- If i use Restructure and he choose my palkia im stay locked? just with switch or have other idea?
Just use switch, or in dire situations, use Sacrifice to KO the active Palkia.
6- What make to win easy tyranytar?
Power locking with Mesprit.
7- Put pluspower?
Not in the Palkia build
8- Great Ball isn´t good in gigas?
Can be, depends if you have room, and if you run Claydol.
9- Claydol what think about this in Gigas?
1-1 Claydol is minimum, in my opinion.
10- What change in this deck?
Drop Pokedrawers for 2 Bebe's, and a 1-1 of Claydol.
 
1- Weaville or Cresselia?
Weavile, it makes the resistence gengar/dusknoir have against gigas and turn it into a weakness. I don't know about the rest of you, but +50 dmg is really good.
2- Snowpoint or Moonlight?
Moonlight, it helps you retreat your bad starter pokemon for a tutored up gigas, and it combos with Palkia & Weavile.
3- Call energy or Warp Energy?
Call energy, it helps you out in plenty of situations and it doesn't really get in the way that much at all. Just remember that you can't get it from the discard pile, so if you have to attach this energy before a basic.
4- Switch and warp or just switch?
Just use switch, Warp Point is usually a really bad switch. They know what you're going to be doing with the warp point so they'll know how to play around it. Besides if you follow what I've said in the above answers you'll have plenty of bench manipulation.
5- If i use Restructure and he choose my palkia im stay locked? just with switch or have other idea?
You can use a switch, or if you have them out you can use weavile's pokepower and make it dark to retreat it with moonlight stadium.
6- What make to win easy tyranytar?
I guess Mesprit to shut down their claydols and togekisses. Just pay attention to when T-tar can knock out your gigas and use your pokepowers sparingly based on how many energys they have in their discard pile.
7- Put pluspower?
No, the majority of Gigas'es attacks are 2HKO at most.
8- Great Ball isn´t good in gigas?
No, it only has so many targets, and it doesn't do anything late game.
9- Claydol what think about this in Gigas?
Doesn't work. I should know, because Claydol was the card that enticed me into pokemon, I was very disappointed when I saw that claydol just couldn't fit into gigas.
10- What change in this deck? :)
-2 snow point -4 Pokedrawer

+2Moonlight +3 Pokeball +1 Uxie
 
i like weaville but i can´t give KO in gengar, i want use TS-2 to dont dead for power , and peoples say Dusknoir is easy match its really?
what yours think about cresselia lv.x in regi?
i think in put Aerodactyl 1-1 in my deck, because have resistence of machamp, can help 2 energy ** 30 and maybe confused, and the decks today have many powers 2 damage counters maybe good
and other is cant be attack in the bench opinios?

Wouldn't you rather kill dusknoir in one hit rather than hit it, wait for damage even, Lv.X, and then hit it for the KO? And if your playing against gengar, would you rather hit them, hope to get heads, and keep the game going, or stall out for the TS-2 and let them have control of the game? If your gigas dies, it's simple to get him activated again. IDK, don't be too hasty to kill gengar, but don't let it control you. I'm not a fan of cressila, it doesn't do nearly enough in gigas. It's good, but just not good enough. If you're really worried about Machamp, put some plus powers in and when you play against machamp use Uxie Lv.X one hit with a zen blade and a pluspower and he's gone. Aerodactyl seems iffy, but test it and see how well it does. Tell us if it works well. The only other thing I can think of to protect gigas from machamp is Bubble coat, and that's not really a good card at all.
