Anti-Vilegar tech in an SP deck

[Croatian_Nidoking]

Well, it looks like there's going to be a lot of Vilegar decks in my local metagame, and my SP deck could use a tech line that would work against it. Dialga G Lv. X is an obvious one, but what about something offbeat? I was thinking of experimenting with Drapion 4.

Ditto could work if you're running a Psychic Energy for Toxicroak?

How about Blaziken FB?

For the Vileplume, I mean.

Blaziken doesn't really do much just to let you know. By the amount of Warp
Energy they play they'll just Warp Out.

Dialga G Lv. X is the obvious hard counter.
Roserade GL is pretty hilarious against Spiritombs.
Luxray GL Lv. X the vileplume right into an Uxie X.
Absol G is also pretty hilarious, one shots Gengars and gets trainers out of your hand vs Poltergeist.
Blaziken FB is still solid, in my opinion.

For Dialga G ... you must save your sprays for Level Down to make it effective.

Cuz you can totally do something other than save your sprays with a Vileplume out And there are so many other Poke-Powers in Vilegar to spray I don't know how you'd do that :nonono:

 

[SLOW DECK]

I pulled the Level X from my Vile-Gar. I think others haven't. Once an SP player succesfully get's the Dialga Lvl X out, the trainers are all played. My silly logic is if they get one turn of trainer play, the trainer lock battle is lost.

Dialga G is a good counter.
For most decks, Regice is the EASIEST single card counter.

Honchkrow G can be good, if you run Special Dark and Lucario GL- drop a Crobat G, Special Dark, and Lucario GL and proceed to OHKO active Gengars. Target Attack will also 2HKO an active Gengar Lv. X, with a Crobat drop.

It's difficult to counter a deck that swarms Fainting Spell......

One shotting gengars is not a good thing. You want to kill them with crobat drops, psychic restore or poison. Not direct damage.

You would only use spray if they were leveling down dgx and since dgx is out than yeah, you could play power spray.

I think that sarcasm just went *nyeeeham* right over someone's head.
