Now you're just being ridiculous. One Unown G isn't enough to stop Machamp. If you are wasting time searching it out, then you aren't having all of your Arceus out in time to do damage to machamp. Machamp also has hurricane punch and several arceus have Fighting weakness.
Scizor Cherrim ran on a trainer engine, yes, but it also had A) Low attack costs B) Ability to become invulnerable C) Same type (one energy type for whole deck) and D) wasn't basic pokemon
How are you going to get 6 different Arceus in play by T2? On what kind of draw power? If you play a rosy, that means no draw supporter. How are you going to have each individual Arceus, the stadium, and use the power up attack resulting in a maximum of 80 damage by T2? You would have to have everything out by T1 to power up and attack T2, which isn't happening.
Flygon doesn't have to level up to be effective. Power Swing and 120 HP hurt Arceus tremendously. Not to mention Arceus X is the same type as the Arceus under it, so you'll have to be attacking with the colorless one to be doing any real damage and you only have one attack that slows down Fly X. Flygon will also take each stadium you put down and gain immunity from it the next trun, lol.
Expert belt on pokemon with low HP is a bad idea unless you're wanting the round to be over even quicker. It's sad that Arcues needs Expert Belt just to have decent damage output.
EDIT: One more thing, Beedrill swarms much easier and produces MUCH better damage output. 4 beedrill for 120 and they search themselves out vs 6 different arceus that max out at 80 damage. Do the math and look at what is more effective. Beedrill also has the benefit of being same type and allows room for claydol and ONE energy attacks.
The Lv.X Arceus has no weakness, and we can run more than one Unknown G....
Alright well, not only has the quality of supporters increased since Scizor was around, this deck easily gets around the 3 and 2 energy costs, has answers to many different things. And with Roseanne's and Ripple swell, energy color sounds like the last problem on this decks mind.
Now you're the one being ridiculous, Beginning Door sounds like the first thing I put in here. Also Call energy seems pretty good as well. And you keep on saying Each individual Arceus, there are 9 Arceus, not 6. Having 6 basics out sounds pretty easy, even more so because of the fact that we can run more than 4....
Once again Arceus Lv.X doesn't have a weakness, If for some reason I'm not OHKOing you with Arceus Lv.X I'm doing Metal Barrier for 80. You also keep presenting things into the worst situation it can be for the Arceus player. Why are we putting a stadium out for Flygon to eat up? Seems bad since We can just use Ripple Swell..
Well 140hp isn't exactly low....and Arceues should more than often be hitting weakness, you make a good point though. Maybe it doesn't need expert belt.
I've already stated why getting different colors isn't a problem for Arceus. And Arceus should be hitting weakness more often than not, so 80 is one of the lower ends of damage you should actually be doing.
I suppose I should wait for your response to Austino, but I would like to mention that I've run FGD for a few days now (edit: Not that it makes me an expert, but). I never come out swinging with a Level X. Ever. You KO something, I happily run in with an Upper'd Flygon and slam your active for an easy KO, then attach an energy next turn and continue my sweep. Go ahead and knock out Flygon if you can - I'll then destroy you with Gardevoir X, since you're completely made of 80 HP Pokemon. Any smart player will Heavenly Spear my Claydol right? So I now Bring Down anything with less than 120 HP...
Even if you let me keep Claydol I still can Bring Down almost any unboosted Arceus.
Alright that doesn't mean I don't see Flygon Lv.X coming, you also mentioned attaching to flygon next turn...so that means you planned on KOing the Lv.X with Sand wall? Seems bad, Arceus Lv.X has no weakness... Austino has already pointed out that Heavenly spear is a last ditch effort.
heavenly spear is a terrible attack though...80 damage and losing 3 energy to the lost zone is bad. So many pokemon can do 80 snipe or more without losing three to the lost zone. Empoleon X can do it for 3 without losing them, Magmortar does 100 snipe at the expense of two in the discard, and palkia G does it for three at the expense of two.
And what do any of those pokemon have anything to do with this deck? Comparing this to Empoleon or Magmortar is like comparing apples to oranges.
^ you forgot Garchomp C X
@Sabett: You don't have to Level up Flygon, You can just swing hard.
Also what does the deck do against Dusknoir (dark palm) and Palkia G X (lost Cyclone)
My opinion still stands, I don't see the deckbeing competitive.
Allright then I KO Flygon in 2 hits, and this deck sounds a lot more viable than things that are being played.
