This idea was raised on Saturday as a possible solution.
What about a elimination based style type tournament depending on attendance?
IE for CA once you lose 3 games you are eliminated.
IDK if pokemon would ever go for this because it hates on the casual pokemon player that wants to play a...
CA was huge! Tourney lasted til well after 1am and even started close to on time.
Woulda loved a shot at the title, especially when I heard some states have only 7 rounds and had people making cut at 5-2.
I dont really see a solution honestly though...
Went 7-2 at CA sates. I along with 6 other people missed top 16 cut.
It sucks honestly to have stuff come down to tie breakers that a player has no control over.
I think more rounds of swiss are the best option. Although there are obvious issues with time contraints
Gothitelle is one of this decks easiest matchups with or without Cobalion.
Yes it does help with Kyurem, but Kyurem isnt really a problem for this deck anyway. The best thing Cobalion is for is Magnezone.
I think All Typhlosions are going to play at least one Resh EX simply because it allows it to get over the 120 damage hump that it has problems with in taking out trainer lock decks.
One very cheap counter to Mewtwo that may see some play..... Xatu.
You need Plus Power... and prolly 3 of them.
It allows you to OHKO lots of different pokemon. Most importantly all of the dragons being played so that you are not revenge killed with outrage after you giga impact.
I personally think Smeargle needs to be in here... he is a great starter and...
Something to consider...
Weavile in this deck. People around here use Weavile in their Durant builds because it can cost the opponent a vital turn or two of setup which will ultimately lead to more discard.
I personally dont see a reason not to use Twins either as it can get u a Revive or...
Victini is a must in this deck for anything that runs Cobalion or Durant. Otherwise you completely auto-lose to them.
I too would definately consider adding in a PSychic energy or two for jirachi for some easy late game KOs
Also consider DCE in here as well as in this deck it essentially...
Id rather just Blue Flare for 120.....
Kyurem and Zekrom need 4 damage counters on them against a weakness to even amount to that damage,,,, its just not worth it.
