The deck forum comments reference an Empoleon version of Ambush and I believe an Empoleon version of Speed Spread. Could someone please post the full deck lists for these (Iwasn't sure if this is the correct forum to put this question, so feel free to move it if necessary)?

Thanks

I have a few deck lists with Empoleon in it, so here is one of them:

Pokemon:20
3 Piplup
3 Prinplup
3 Empoleon
3 Trapinch
2 Vibrava
3 Flygon d
2 Flygon d ex
1 Ray ex d

Energies:15
4 Delta Rainbow
5 Water
6 Psychic

Trainers:25
3 Holon Mentor
2 Bebe's Search
2 Celio's Network
3 Windstorm
4 Castaway
3 TVR
2 Steven's Advice
4Rare Candy
2 Strength Charm

Strategy is to start off with Piplup, spread damage with Prinplup, then clean house with either Empoleon or Flygon ex d. Ray is in there for additional sniping, and counters Gatr/Empoleon.

And here is another:

Pokemon:20
3 Empoleon
3 Prinplup
3 Piplup
3 Octillary
3 Remoraid
1 Absol ex
1 Mantine(DP2)
1 Mantyke
1 Eggs d
1 Eggs jr. d

Energies:15
3 DRE
2 Scramble
10 Water Energy

Trainers:25
3 Celio's Network
3 Holon Mentor
2 Steven's Advice
2 Team Galactic's Wager
3 Castaway
1 Scott
3 Battle Frontier
2 Glacia's Stadium
2 Super Scoop Up
2 Warp Point
2 Cessation Crystal

Strategy: Bench hitting, disruption(Wager and Octillary's first attack), and using Absol ex late game to KO their heavy hitter(Using its power and either Empoleon or Octillary). Mantine is for the Free Retreat body, and Mantyke isn't that bad to start with.

Try one of these out, and see if they work or not. To tell you the Truth, I still need to test the Flygon version.
 
clement30, you didn't answer his question. Neither of those lists is Ambush or Speed Spread.

Anyways,
Empoleon IS Ambush - I don't know what you mean by "Empoleon version of Ambush". Empoleon was the main attacker in Ambush, which there was only one version of - Empoleon/Marowak.
As for Speed Spread, I've never heard anything about an Empoleon in it. The versions used at worlds certainly didn't use Empoleon.
 
Both of the decks I posted can be considered speed spread, since Prinplup does that, and my Empoleon/Octillary is somewhat like a modernized Ambush.

*headdesk*

Speed Spread refers to a SINGLE deck - not just any deck that spreads damage.
It used Rayquaza ex d, Mew ex, Absol ex, Lapras, and the Eeveelution ex's... not Empoleon or Octillery or Flygon.
 
Yeah...what're you talking about? Speed Spread was last season (the deck that BT described). The 'Spread' concept is alive (Empoleon, Lucario, etc.), but Speed Spread is dead, and never ever had any part of the Empoleon line in it. It was Eevee ex's with Absols, Mews, and a bunch of techs.
 
4 Piplup
4 Prinplup
3 Empoleon
2 Cubone
2 Marowak
1 Roselia
1 Budew
2 Holon's Magneton

3 Holon Transceiver
2 Holon Mentor
1 Holon Adventurer
1 Holon Scientist
3 Castaway
3 Celio's Network
3 Wally's Training
3 Cessation Crystal
3 Cursed Stone
2 Steven's Advice
2 Copycat
1 Curse Powder

10 Water Energy
3 Scramble Energy

That's the Ambush list that got 2nd (won) in Seniors at nats.
 
Someone in the deck forum has a Cacturne version of Ambush. That's why I clarified my post asking specifically about the Empoleon version. And thanks to Penguin Master and Clement30 for providing interesting deck lists. Thanks.

I think you're mentioning the Speed Empoleon deck.Speed Spread is another deck but more commonly called Absolutions which consists of Absol EX/Mew EX/Eeveelution variants.There are featured post for both of these decks

http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=56969 for Absolutions

Deck names can be confusing these days
