Leafeon seems to be really prevelent in my area, just off the top of my head. I still use 2-2 claydol in my Empoleon deck, but since he mentioned that he just got back to the game I thought it'd be helpful to mention that you should be careful with Claydol based off of my local metagame. Yes I...

Honestly? I'd be careful with Claydol. He's awesome, but that grass weakness can really suck. So be careful using him, since I'm quite sure grass-based decks are gunna be popular this BR.

Well at this point this seems to only be at the idea stage. I think we'll need to see a deck list before we make any decisions reguarding its viability.

As I'm typing this, I'm sure five other people are going to suggest warp points over switches. This is kinda important. Warp Point lets you switch your own pokemon, and also can get you out of a tough spot if people get some crazy big thing out you can't handle at the time. Also, I'm horribly...

God those new Chimchars really do suck. I kinda like the monfernos, though, since they have no retreat cost. I got the Empoleon starter though, so I don't remember if the old monfernos share that feature. But at most, yes. Use the DP Chimchar. Phione is great, but you only need one or...

I'm sure I'll get trounced, but I still love Houndoom + Absol + Darkrai lv X. But, I never go to win. I got to have fun, heh, and I've loved Houndoom since I first got him in Gold.

Holy poop, I didn't see Bronzong in my prerelease. Tho...perhaps we should just call it "Bronzomg" :) That thing is such a beautiful tank for Empoleon heh.

Well, if you're running water, having an edge over Infernape and Magmortar doesn't seem to be much of a big deal. It sounds like lots of people are gunna be running Garchomp (its level X is evil) and Leafeon, so Dawn's Stadium is out. Glacia's might be the route you wanna go. Of course you...

I'd just like to chime in about the using of DP Piplup and Prinplup. While I'd also prefer to use the DP Empoleon, the DP piplup is a lot better. The DP piplup just seems to prepare itself a lot better for the DP Prinplup. Plus, as a guy who played a long time ago, I'm partial to the ability...

At the prerelease, Umbreon really saved my behind. Thanks to his attacking. I've only got one, so I've not tried it in a normal game. But I don't have enough to do an eevee deck anyway. But, if you have something you're using the pokepower for, then it'd be silly to attack with him.

If you're using Omastar, wouldn't Relicanth from Great Encounters (I think it's great encounters) work well too? It's water as well, and can help bring out your fossils faster. I also use Lapras myself, along with Claydol. As it was said, there's almost no reason not to. As far as MD...

I loved the Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper. That stuff was amazing. Vanilla Coke was good, but as was said, it doesn't have anything on coke with vanilla flavoring mixed in. Just as cherry coke doesn't have a thing on coke with cherry syrup mixed in. ...darn...now I want some :(

Uhm...to be fair, it might not be a case that he is deciding to be different/dumb on the matter, it might be that the MT one is just what he's got available. Heck, I think Empoleon level X is pretty keen, but I don't have one. So I don't use it. So, I think that's a case. Also, lots of people...

back in the day, I generally went with the idea that a basic is a lot faster than a stage one, and now a days I don't see that as changed. So, I'd say that Stantler has an edge there, 'cause it is 'Painted red' (goes faster). However, Furret is a better card, though you do lose out on speed. So...

So a friend and I were messing around in a game, and I got out my Dugtrio from Secret Wonders and did a Dig Trap. I got a heads, which, according to the card 'prevent all effects of an attack including damage done to dugtrio during your opponent next turn.' Now he tried to use his Magmortar's...
