pokemon:21
2-2 Octillery
1-1 Mantine
4-3-3-1 Empoleon line
2-2 Dodrio

energy:16
9 water
4 DRE
3 scramble

triners:23
1 battle fronteir
2 Glacia's Stadium
4 Celios
4 rare candy
2 Holon Mentor
3 Steven's Advice
2 Scott
2 Castaway
3 plus power

card purposes:
Prinplup:spreads damage fast and can KO early.
Empoleon: the main attacker... it deals massive damage and hits benches. This is a neccesity to the deck and a T2 loaded is nasty
Empoleon lv.X: holds off there hand and snipes for a huge 80! And the added health and able to use previous attacks... it's not half-bad
Rare Candy: Speeds the deck up and lets you setup emps fast.
celio: gets all my pokemon and don't have to discard etc.
octillery: an awesome addition. 40 T2 and dicards for a 60 attack. Really good sniper!
Dodrio: hits 3 evolved for 30 spreading damage like crrazy leading up to a ko snipe.
Mantine & Mantyke: This is a mentorable duo and lets me free retreat emps, and octillery for free
DRE: allows me to setup a fast attack and gives me energies I need
scramble: this helps me sooo much as if i'm losing provides me for whatever I need

Deck matchups:

T2K:60-40
This ones pretty tricky... with the speed it could damage me good, but with OHKO on my side not much worry is needed. I simply snipe return, snipe and repeat process. Shouldn't be a mad matchup.

Infernacatty:90-10
It's metagame appearence might decrease but I can't count this deck out! Basically Delcatty's an easy 2 prize while I can snipe and then Hit infernapes KO. Unless I have a horrible start I should pull through.

Mario:50-50
This actually placed top 4 in Worlds so no doubt will see it rear it's face again. Basically PP on lv.X are a KO on Lucario. Though Machamp can be a real pain... as long as it's been hit once it'll only get 0-1 prizes before it's gone. This is a hard matchup but it shouldn't be devastating

R-Gon:60-40
Yeah... this won't be pretty. With the efficiency and speed this will be one tough cookie. I just need the better hand and setup and hope they donk. With the fast spread of damage and T2 KO's it'll be incredibly hard. This is a deck I have to worry about a lot.

Electivire:30-70
With all the combo variants with the card it's a no brainer we'll see this. With good attacks and a nast poke-power it will easily annoy this deck. Especially with the weakness factor this is gonna be the times where you see an elikid or electabuzz you kill it no matter whatL

Garchomp:70-30
This shouldn't be too much of a hassle but the damage it delas is nasty. 2 hits and it'll be down but we'll have to watch out! As long as you can shut it down it shouldn't be a big problem.

Magmortar:80-20
For 100 damage to anyone and still able to use a diffrent attack, definetley a threat. As long as you sniped at it before you should OHKO it. You just have to watch out for that ability too.

]Empoleon:50-50
Yes a mirror match is not fun and it's really just who gets the better hand or what the deck contains. I'll have to worry about this somewhat.

strategy: To get an Empoleon hitting at least T3 sniping away at bench stopping there game plan...
then lv up if needed or start one on bench and 80 if needed... if I do use the 80 attack, mantine free retreats my Empoleon lv.X and I send out an empoleon and cycle through:D Help appreciated...

thnx

so this deck is yamoleon just because the 1-1 infernape?... he was using that as a tech against scyzor... i dont think that will be usefull in this format...
 
Yamato is good, damn good but without corsola it's just a bit slow, Budew may help in it's place.

Empoleon is just a great card, High hp, snipe for 40, and 3 for 70 and possible 20 to bench is too good, not to mention empoleon lvx.

It just needs something to speed it up.
 
of budew is so useless, use manyke, it searches for water, and mantine mt gives empoleon free reatreat

[edit]
oh, i just read corsella, his second attack owns, luvdisc cg? he gats basic's and damage's the opponent. just throwing idesa around
 
1 or 2 Rayquaza d to get rid of pesky weakness? You would have to run at least 2 holon energy WP too. Holon WP gets rid of effects from attacks which would also help.
