Eggs everywhere!!!

I finally got to play at League. I beat a Mewtwo/Landrous/Tornadus deck. (catchered up and OHKOd the Landorus EX) Then I basically donked a deck that could only get out two Bouffulant and a Sigalyph. Then I beat a Blastoise Kureum Deck and Darkria Absol deck where I started with a Egg and had one egg prized most of the game. I just run 12 dark energy and Dark Patch don't see any need for plasma in this deck. Dark Claw was the reason I won the Darkria game. No way I would have won without it. Beat the Blastiose by Catching up a Squirtle for my last prize and hitting it for 200 damage. Weavile is incredible. Oh I was also able to trade for 3 of them as well so most of my proxies are out of my deck.
 
Strangely I used to have it and it was never useful but bringing those eggs out straight away means you wont need it :)
I find that dark patch didnt work for me before and that if something like landorus/Garchomp deck hurts a lot.
I find that going into your deck will be better then having to discard to use it :/

Ill maybe bring back dark claw because its baws lol

yeah its fun when youve got at least 2 deoxies out and you have all 4 eggs in the discard ready to bring the pain!

I find im attacking turn 1 with absol and having weavile set up into turn 2 :)

Im still not sure on the max potion. But I may look into something else

Ive thought about random receiver instead of the max potions? I mean absol and weavile can be one hitted so what is the point in keeping the potions? cant heal if their knocked out :/

plus I find it difficult to bump into some supporters sometimes that might actually work :)
 
No you need one super rod and one Town Map to make this work. Nothing is better at the end of the game when your deck is thin and your opponent has an undamaged EX in the active spot then to Super Rod 3 wevailes, sneasles or sabelyes back into your deck and then play a Juniper for the 180 HP OHKO
 
Yeah what to take out? Im thinking one colress machine?

Not sure on town map seems fine not knowing what I have and use a space up for something more important

Yes you are better off running pure dark and Dark Patch. Went 3-2 with this in my BR and my Daughter wet 2-1 in Juniors with an identical build loosing to a pure fighting deck.

I lost my first game due to an egg only start any my opponent going first and laying a laser an a stadium that was fun.

Second game I again had an egg only start but then I beat the Plamsa deck where I was down 2-6 in prizes and game back to win. 6-5

Third game I got out sped my a beedrill deck not sure how that happened but whenever I damaged him he had the max potion not even a hale attack could buy me an extra turn lost that one 6-0

Fourth game new player with mish mash deck OHKO'd his Kyogre EX turn 4 and then ran off his random basics won
6-0

Fifth game faced big basics with Garbador. Got my 3rd egg only start in my 5 games. I go first and level ball for a Sneasle and put a dark on it and end my turn. He has a lone trubbish. Junipers and gets nothing so he puts on his own energy atatches a Giant cape and then catchers up my sneasle and lasers it with no stadium then he garbage collects for the Juniper back on his deck. My turn I evolve to sneasle attatch 2nd dark and juniper. I get one egg and two level balls. Grab two more pokemon and OHKO him for the donk win.
 
how this deck can ever survive against a darkrai deck is beyond me.

battle roads is coming up, and im really tempted to run this deck.. as i know i wont be winning the whole thing anyways, but i want to still make some noise.
 
Glad I have a few more days to figure this out.

A lot of extra pokemon besides the sneasels and eggs.

Might force it to lose the ability to do its job fast and efficiently.

I like the absol idea for sure. On tcgo i use a few Darkrai techs as they're helpful sometimes. For retreat and so on.

This deck will be a struggle to use..but I really wanna roll with somethin different.
 
The amount of Pokemon seems fine since you want to maybe have an extra or two to help with vilify in case you haven't got your eggs in hand or discard pile (could be prized or whatever) and having less pokemon means having a starting hand with an egg more possible which is something you really dont want.

I have removed dark claw even though its tasty and had rescue scarf instead weavile's health is rubbish and so he could do with coming back to your hand.

Absol is amazing! So many people have fallen to the "oh Ive got lots of pokemon in my starting hand better throw them all down" which then I colress machine and start knocking pokemon out left right and center :p

Its beaten down blastoise, Rayeels and big basics. Only one I struggle against is Landorus.

Plus rescue scarf puts two pokemon back into your hand for a +60 toward any future attack.
 
Hmm. Okay then.

Does Garbo stop the eggs ability? Or no cause its in hand?

I do want to add absol probably, as his skill could help the deck in tight spots for quick damage.. Idk.. This deck seems fun as hell, and it is on tcgo.. But I don't want to be underwhelming. Especially when Thundurus and Kyurem will most definitely be hitting T1 a lot and putting me on te back foot almost instantly. Would Darkrai be a good choice? Free retreat and possibly night spears in crunch time?
 
Yeah it reads in play, in hand and in discard theres no abilitys but garbador is too easy to kill :)

I think dark rai in this deck wouldnt suit it would make weavile obsolete dark rai would be for a pure darkrai deck only i think.

So from what ive learnt over the past few weeks is that landorus is unhealthy lol. So i jumbled around to see what I get and made this:

Pokemon
3 x Sneasel
3 x Weavile
4 x Exeggcute
2 x Absol
3 x Deoxys EX
1 x Keldeo EX
1 x Mr.Mime

Trainer/Supporter/Stadium
3 x N
3 x Professor Juniper
3 x Skyla
2 x Shadow Triad
3 x Pokemon Catcher
2 x Dark Patch
2 x Colress Machine
1 x Dowsing Machine - ACE SPEC
3 x plasma ball
3 x Level Ball
2 x Rescue Scarf
1 x Super Rod
2 x Plasma Frigate

Energy
10 x Darkness Energy - Basic
3 x Plasma Energy - Special
 
Yeah against snipers its alright and landorus is horrible. but yeah I think I might get rid of the dark patches and run 2 blends :/ its hard to improve the deck from the last attempt
 
Colress machine works fine ive put both in (2 of each and yes ive tinkered again lol) and dark patch doesnt seem to pop up in the right places :/ it just gets discarded either by juniper are something and when i do have one theres no energy in the discard :(

Ill see what happens next week and ill give you a better verdict on tuesday evening or something.
