Yes, I know, this list is almost EXACTLY the same as the Featured List, but that's because I needed a point to start from. (All MARIO decks are essentially the same at the core, right?) I've noticed in the few games that I've played, that not once have I used Nosepass, but I've used Sableye every game (It tends to be very useful) I'm thinking of taking out 1 Nosepass and adding another 'Eye for consistency.
One of my thoughts for the upcoming BRs is Flygon, Crobat, and other
sychic: pokes out there, since my deck right now is completely weak to sychic:, would it be a better idea to drop Machamp and add in a different line? I was thinking of Empoleon as an alternative, as it snipes and is quite good overall. Is this a good idea, or not?
As for using Lucario X; my experience is that it just gives you a turn to use Close Combat and Stance once it hits the field, then the rest of the time you normally just Aura Sphere to avoid taking extra damage. Though that one turn can make the difference in the game (usually allowing a KO), I think it's worth keeping Lucario X in the deck.
I know I've only played 3 finished games with the deck, and that it needs more time to grow and develop, but I love the feel of the deck and I just thought I'd post here and share my ideas.
FYI: This list has currently had these results against relevant decks-
Electivire X (In my Locale, we've named it 'Hammertime' after MC's famous song) - W:1 L:
Magnezone- W:1 L:
Any constructive comments, criticism, or thoughts? Thanks!
