Hey guys, I thought of a cool deck thats pretty much like Gardylade, but it uses porygon 2 to set up, and a diffrent attacker! Heres the list I came up with, tell me what you think!


Pokemon: 17

4-3-4 Porygon Z
4 absol
1-1 magneton pk

Trainers: 26

4 celios network
3 rare candy
3 rosseane's research
3 windstorm
2 Team galactics wager
2 mr. stone
2 scott
2 lake boundry
2 night maintnence
2 stevens advice
1 castaway
1 strength charm

Energy: 17

6 psychic (gardilade)
4 water (Magmorter)
4 fighting (blissy)
3 boost


Alright the strategy is to start off with absol disrupt there whole hand delaying there set up, then start getting set up with porygon 2. Once you have 1-2 porygon z set up its time to roll! get a lake boundry in play and start trying to one hit stuff after discarding the energy according to weakness (The energy were picked to fit the decks mainly played in my area, can be changed) I would like to see what kind of potential this deck has. Any suggestions and comments would be great. Thanks!

Cool ICMN I dont care what you think.. You always post negative comments in my threads.. The only reason I said it was like gardilade is because it ran absol and it set up quick using supporters with porygon 2 like gardivoir uses telepass. As for the scott, I guess I could add in another for the use of porygon2.
 
U should add 2 More Scott to get what u need with scott then use it in the same turn pretty sick have you though about mantine d it works wonders in mine
 
I've also been thinking about Absol start, never tested it yet though. How does it work for you?

Otherwise, I'd say drop the Boost for DRE and up your Scott count; being able to use Porygon 2 to discard Scott to use it, then using either more Porygon 2 or playing the Supporter naturally (or vice versa) really speeds up your game.
 
Magneton takes the place of mantine d in here. And since you have to put dmg on itsself.. Its easy bringdown bait. I incresead scott to 2 for the sake of porygon 2. The boost work fine in here, I dont really like DRE because it reduces dmg, and when you flip coins.. u need all the dmg you can get. Ive proxied the part of the deck I dont have and so far it works great! You ussualy get set up turn 2-3 and the absols work wonders for the deck! Your oppenent cant barely get set up before you start one hitting them with porygon z. More comments and suggestions would be great. Thanks!
 
Personally, I don't like Magneton much, using Mr. Stone is easier. You can still get Energy from the discard, or alternatively search your deck for them. It doesn't make you set up a Pokemon line for it either, as well as being searchable by Scott or Castaway. 3 Rare Candies also seems a bit much, considering you want to evolve into Porygon2 in order to use its Poke-Power instead of skipping it.
 
Whats the use of plusle in the deck? I could add in one more scott and make it kind of like the Soviet engine, Then add in 2 tgw, then add in a TSD. Tell me what you guys think before I make the changes.
 
You need a 4-4-4 of Pgon.
4 TG Mars is essential to destroy you opponent.
2-2 Volbeat/Illumise is also pretty standard in a Pgon deck.
You also need 3-4 Scott and more different energies. Mebbe 1 more Lake B too.
 
! Its weird seeing my deck... Same energy to, creepy.

The only change is i dont run Absol, i tried out claydol and it wasn`t to needed but had its moments. Grabbing Energy for weakness takes effect alot.

I have also tried Altaria. Tho its first attack is 50/50 its 2nd attack is wonderful and resistance to Fighting is good, place a buffer piece down and things like Gallade are reduced by 70, 5 flips to ko an altaria, Crazy. It works pretty well. Of course i am Certain another attacker is needed. I assure you of that.

Magneton could be cut to 1-1 but 2-2 is also fine. If need be, t2 candy to Z, rush while setting up, but absol seems neat as well.
It wouldn't be bad to add 2 lightning so if needed, Mag could attack, and it wouldn`t hurt for Empoleon, New Hurricane, even hunchkrow.

Other then that, Looks Good.

!!!!!!! I didn't notice but try to fit in night maintnance. Some times mag isnt there
 
Pokemon: 18

4-4-4 Porygon Z
2-2 Magneton pk
1 Illumise
1 volbeat

Trainers: 23

3 Prof. Oak’s Visit
4 Celios network
4 Roseanne’s research
2 Mr. Stones
3 Scott

3 windstorm
2 Lake Boundry
2 Night Maintenance

Energy: 19

1 Electric
4 Fire
4 psychic
4 water
3 fighting
3 Holon FF

After some testing, this would be the actual list I would go with. Gallade can OHKO you with 1 Prize card flip. FF is much needed in here. The energy count can be switched around so to match your meta. I am listing what would work well for my meta. the Magneton can provide as a Back Up hitter if you get the energy stacked right! So there you go!

MrMeches, that is the WORST list i have ever seen, no offense, but only 2 PoryZ? it's the main attacker in the deck, not delcatty or magneton, and Catty-ton rlly doesnt work in this.

Original list, here's my fixes.

Pokemon: 19

4-4-4 Porygon Z
4 absol
2 Illumise GE
2 Volbeat GE

Trainers: 24

4 celios network
2 rare candy
3 rosseane's research
2 windstorm
4 Team Galactic's Mars
2 mr. stones
2 scott
3 lake boundry
2 TGW
2 Mr.Stone's Project

Energy: 17

3-4 Psychic
3-4 Fighting
3-4 Water
2 DRE
+2-5 Basic energy for your personal metagame (for instance, lots of GG?+psychic, Got Empoleon? Lightning)

Fireflies work better in this deck for supporter recycling. Seriously, if you are running Absol, it CANT be your only hand disrupter, TGM works WONDERS in this deck, especially since you can do 2-3 a turn. Magneton is ok, but stone's is better, especially when you play more than 1 supporter a turn. try to fit 2 NM into here.
 
So you made a deck thats pretty much like Gardilade, but completely different?
Anyways absol wouldn't really work in a deck with no Wagers/Umbreon/Mars
 
Stalkerex, I just put in the energy for the main type of decks that are being played in my area, but its cool that we think alike about the energy.. lol. I could reduce the mag line to 1-1 becuase im sure its just for late game, and I wont need the lightning because I should never be attacking with him. I just realized I had no night maintnence either, maybe for the 1-1 line of mag I should add in night maintnence? Let me know what you think.

Mr.mechs Your list only has 2 porygon z? Its supposed to be the main attacker. You shouldnt need delcaty becuase you are using 2 supporters a turn any way with porygon 2. And also your not supposed to be running 3 of every energy, just the energy that corresponds to the weakness of the meta-game in your area. No boost? Your list doesn't run rare candy either? I like my list, but thanks for the input.

Suicidal pikachu, Your list is pretty good, Ill probaly make changes to the trainer line a bit, I figure that I need at least 2 TGW. I like the energy line the way it is in my list because its good for my area. Oh and dont illumise and volbeat rely on coin flip?

Hectagonman , Trust me.. Absol can work without wagers umbreon (wtf) and mars. By its self it can take out there whole hand in 2 turns which you should now if you've ever used absol..

Over all, I'll try to find a way to add in 1 more scott and night maintnences, Ill probaly drop a 1-1 line of mag for 2 night maintnence.
As for the TGW I might have to change the trainers a little. I updated the list, tell me what you think with the changes.

Personly I would rather run magneton, the supporer back on top of your deck is nice.. but you shouldnt need to use a supporter more then twice.
 
Edited my list to reflect the new Apprentice list I have tried out now for a few days!

Post 12

Z doesn't pack enough of a punch though if you can't get the heads! That was the only issues!
