Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Flyclops AKA Flygon/Dusknoir

i played this about 3 days ago and got 2nd by going 4-1 and my lost was to a wierd gengar deck not the one with fainting spell
 
Ok with the Match-ups you Gave us you are giving the the BotD and saying IF they arent under a spirit-Lock. How hard is it to get AMU set up under a trainer lock and a power lock hurts this set up but doesnt kill it becuse if you are under a power lock you can always get your Spiritomb out then just set up.

As stated, with only two Spiritomb, you're not going to start with it that much. One turn of trainers is often all a deck like AMU needs so totally wreck you.

and for SPs If you see a garchomp C go down you can retreat Flygon and Try and Snipe it with Dusknoir.

And you have the Energy to this consistently, without any form of Energy manipulation?

For luxray Claydol has free retreat nost of the time and if the KO it you have Dusknoir to draw and supporter to get Claydol back out.

They KO Dol, then Spray Shadow Command.

And power Spray- If i Absoulty need to use a power i will retreat to Spiritomb and they cant use power spray.

And you forfeit a turn of attacking just to use a Power or two.

With the other you just have to test yourself. Me and my friend Stayed up until 3 in the morning just testing this deck. then we tested for a couple of hours the next day also.

So, two days? Plus, you guys must have been tired that night, staying up to three and all. Don't you think there's a chance that both of you were playing under par because of mental exhaustion?

Not being rude or anything but If you guys are so mad at the match-ups why dont you go write your own article like fish said and Post your match-ups because you know ALL of them.

Yoshi's submitted an article before, as have I (you linked to it), but I'm sure neither of us did so because someone on the internet challenged our integrity.

I think it's great that you're wanting to volunteer time to try to make the community a bit better at Pokemon, but with terrible matchups like that, you're often doing more harm than good; both to your reputation AND to newbies' skill-building.

ON a side note, Expert Belt and Upper are Amazing in this deck. 70 DMG Night Spin whee!
 
OK, we'll play later if you're on. I don't mean that the deck is bad, just that no deck in the metagame has anywhere near those good matchups. Give me 5 games, and I'll play a variety of SP decks and see if 80/20 is correct.

Had it built as soon as Arceus came out. It has good matchups against most stage two decks and Gyarados but it can't handle early disruption from sp, especially with an odd list like this. There's no reason to play two tombs and not play Azelf. The pokemon lines are too spread out and no uppers/the other sf Noir? Takes advantage of belt/Rainbow Float so well. I understand wanting to play more Night Spin guys but options are great. Playing four Duskull and three dusclops gives you even more consistency and a quicker set up.
 
one of my first decks started out as the Gardy starter deck then merged a full dusknoir line + Mewtwo Lv.X
and this deck was a monster, it made a lot of the people in my area to change their decks a bit, lol there were a lot of dark decks sprouting just to counter this deck, most of them still lost.
This deck went 30/70 against FlyChamp a deck in out area, always lost to it, but the match with this deck were epic and long, my deck now is in contruction, and waiting to be complete
my deck consisted of:
2 Duskull SW
1 Duskull SF (SR)
2 Dusclops SF #34
1 Dusknoir SF #1
1 Dusknoir SF #17
1 Dusknoir X
3 Ralts PL
2 Kirlia SW
2 Gardy PL
1 Gardy X
2 Mewtwo MD
1 Mewtwo X
2-2 Blissey PL

The rest a mix of Trainers and Supporters + Moonlight Stadium

15 Psychic Energy
 
ITT another of those deck built around Flygon and some random Pokémon. I mean how many Flygon decks have it been around here >_>. Flygon is such a good card that any deck including Flygon will be top tier, but the very best Flygon deck will still be the one without any random stage 2 crap.
 
Got someone to run this list at City Championships today with a -1 Memory Berry and +1 Lucian's Assignment. 4-1 with the only loss to Garchomp C + Dialga G during Round 5. Props to you all for an interesting idea.
 
uhh most of these matchups i am SURE you are wrong. SP am 100% sure, i played my friend with an SP deck (he was playing this) and won three times in a row with NO CHALLENGE AT ALL. this deck is slow, and very dependent on claydol. honchkrow/garchomp snipe it out totally stops this deck.

you really need to redo these matches =/...
 
Pokemonforever: Thanks man glad you like it.
elekid: I can guarantee you that 1) He wasn't playing the deck correctly, or 2) He isn't that great of a player. For the record someone has already told me that SP's will destroy FlyClops and I proved them wrong on Redshark, so I would love to play you as well. I will admit that it is more of a 60-40 or Slightly Favorable Matchup for Flyclops. I can guarantee you that you are incorrect. It is not slow, and doesn not completely rely on Claydol.

I played C-U Elite at the City Championships while he wa using this deck, and I was running a dark deck of my own construction, and 2 out of the 4 times we battled I won, but of course he did the same. Only one bad thing: his two were in the finals! But he played very well, and I am proud to say I lost to him! Good deck, good player, good job!
 
well, you might have me that this deck kills some SP variants. blaziken FB, luxray, and the like i can see possible. but what about garchomp honchkrow? i play both of those in my deck, and they are very easy to access. honchkrow hits dusknoir for 70 damage for 1 energy (80 if it's the X). and i have poketurn if you try anything. garchomp KO's the flygon you worked so hard on building. and if you kill it, so what? you killed something with no energy while a destroyed a stage 2 with 3 energy on it. night spin? i'll poketurn and snipe your bench while getting 3 energy on something. i really don't see how it's that big of a deal, unless you get AMAZINGLY lucky each time, with like claydol, dusknoir, flygon all out in one turn.

i'm also pretty sure he was playing it right, i mean he's a good player and all, there just wasn't much for him to do at all. i killed his spirotmb T1 with a sableye, then he sent another one up and i killed that as well. he got off 1 cosmic power and then i sprayed twice and honchkrowed it for KO. from there on i used starapter FB X to ko a flygon X and then honchkrowed for my final two prizes.

very easy game....

Click to expand...

I played you once, not really enough to determine a matchup. Along with some awful misplays, I accept SP does have problems with this but your relience on Claydol and no energy Acceleration will be hurt by SP.

The matchup claims that Flyclops walks over this, everyone else is saying that SP walks over it. Its actually quite even.
