Hello all, this is probably going to be my BR's deck and I just wanted to get some advice on it before I start seriously testing it. Here it is..........
I seem to have trouble to pull a basic in the begining. Also the 3-2 Claydol is for in the begining of the game when, I have a Baltoy on my bench and can use the TM Evoluter on it, for fast setup.
Pokemon
4-4-3-1 Porygon-Z (Promo)
2-2 Claydol
2 Unown G
1-1 Mewtwo LV X

T/S/S-
_____
4 Marleys Request
4 Bebe's Search
4 Roseanne's Research
1 Cynthia's Feelings
3 Professor Oak's Visit
2 Palmer's Contribution
4 TS-1 Evoluter
4 TS-2 Devoluter
2 Rare Candy
3 BTS
1 Luxury Ball
1 Premier Ball

Energies-
2 Psychic
2 Upper Energy
4 Call Energy

Stragey: The ideal set up is this Porygon Z Active, Nidoqueen on bench, 2 Porygon2's on the bench, a Claydol, and the last slot is optional.
Start with Porygon and the active porygon should become the Z and the bench just piles up with Porygon2's and with the mass amount of supporters in this deck I just keeping pulling out what I need.

Why no Call Energy? Porygon-Z likes those. Also I do think that 8 energy is too little even if some of them are Uppers, I'd up the count to 10/11 somehow. Maybe get rid of Nidoqueen - Pory-Z is either gonna be OHKO'd or 2HKO'd anyway.
And oh, DEFINITELY add another Unown G - you're gonna need it for several opponents (Gengar, Blaziken FB...)
One Palmer probably isnt enough retrieval either. Cut out the POV's for Night Maintainance and a Premier Ball or two.
 
I don't need the premier ball's because of the Z's learning and i can try the call's but the enrgy i have now is doing great for me.
 
^Actually with the learning attack you can't use the special energy discarding ability, which is very good IMO at ruining some decks strategies.
-1 rosy
+1 marley
-1 baltoy
-3 pov
+2 call
+1 palmer
+1 premier ball

At least one for mewtwo, if not another for porygon.
Max Marley for TM retrieval, possibly Mismagius LV.X for picking up TM's
 
^ def use vs seeker.

only other suggestion would be azleaf case there can be those dreadful situations e.g. both claydol are prized.
 
This is a tight list and I need to know what to take out. If I were to try Staraptor I would cut the Mewtwo Line and drop some energies. What do you think?
 
it is a very tight list, though if your having trouble pulling a basic at beginning it becomes essential you run call energy or else you could end up being dnk'd.
unfortunetly im not the best at what to add/take out =/
 
Staraptor works especially well with Porygon 2 if you're using non-consistency Supporters like Marley's or Palmer's.
 
i would try something like this:

-3 rare candy (you already have 3 BTS and 4 Porygon 2)
-2 marleys request (you can use the VS seeker for them if you need to)
-2 psychic (4 should be enough for mewtwo with the 4 roseannes to grab them)


+2 vs seeker (really good cause its more draw or whatever you need)
+2 uxie
+3 call energy (helps you get turn 2 swarms out way faster)

hope this helps gl with it
 
I don't really think that Uxie is really necessary in this deck. Maybe one, but that's about it. Porygon2 with all the Supporters in here is generally enough to find what you're looking for. Not to mention once the LvX comes into play, you can start moving what you need topside and grab it that way. Uxie is a nice fallback, but that's about it.
 
Marley's is not necessary at all. It may seem like getting those TMs back will help you end game, but it's not as important as you think. If you do insist on playing it, play 2 max. I was a big fan of Porygon last season and I thought it was a great rogue choice for worlds because the speed is ridiculous on the deck. You generally have Porygon Z doing 80 damage turn two. What I noticed is that once either a) they get a rebound kill and you lose to turn not being able to attack because of no energy acceleration and b) after stacking a porygon with TMs to kill a big hitter, your damage output goes down tremendously late game, which is what Marley would be for. But I think instead of Marley, there's a better option which is Dusknoir. Porygon Z Lv. X allows you to stack the deck, which makes Dusknoir available in one turn. For the same reason I also love Pokeblower in here, because you can just stack the two on top. So like you should be, imagine you're up 2-3 prizes because of the sheer speed of the deck. Your opponent finally has out the big hitter and a second one coming up, and they can probably turn the game around in their favor.

Lv. X - your special energies are gone
Power -stack either Dusknoir or Blower, your main attacker is gone
And if you already have Blower in your hand or vice versa, you take out both hitters.

And you need Call btw.

Just my take on porygon
 
Marleys isn't just for getting my TM's back. It can also get me any other supporter I might need or whatever.
