Garchomp/Altaria deck help

[TuxedoBlack]

I'll take the Reciever and maybe the extra Swablu, but why trim the Candies of all things?

In my playtesting, I'm finding 2 RCs to be quite sufficient when running at least 3 Gabites. Dragon Call helps this deck setup by t2 or t3 at the latest. I do also acknowledge that there are a few times that not having that 3rd RC slowed me down, but not often enough to justify the 3rd RC.

Why not just ditch the Cheren for, say, Ultra Ball and keep Bianca in?
- Croatian_Nidoking

Makes sense. I typically play 1 Bianca for each Ultra Ball in decks that I plan to discard cards. Otherwise, I usually play about 2 in order to replenish my hand after my opponent plays an N.

+1 emolga
+1 swablu (you will see the difference when you test with 4)
+3 cheren
-1 communication
-1 fighting
-3 bianca (cheren is superior here because you almost don t discard

-Swablu REALLY needs a dragon version, I hate how you can't grab one with Dragon Call.
.

Is it even a dragon type?
Nope. Its normal / flying, which is both colorless.

I play 0 Rare Candy with 4-4-4 Garchomp, and I like that a lot more.

How do you keep from getting overrun by Raikou when you encounter Zeels decks?

All you have to do with this deck is keep it cool think about ur moves first and just kill with garchomp dont play too fast in ur mind thats why this deck looses cause people tend to over think everything garchomp can one shot the crap out of these decks, from what ive seen and heard, just go with the flow im currently working on it right now myself but i mean dont over think ur steps go slow and relax dang i mean yal are thinking 500 steps ahead every game is different the outcome is different everything "RELAXING" Is the KEY

For Pokemon, I've been running the following:

4-3-4 Garchomp
4-4 Altaria
3 Emolga
1 Sigilyph

I found the Sawblu were early catcher targets and I lost too many too early. If one ended up being prized, I was in trouble. I guess you could either run 4-4 or put in 4 super rods. The sigilyph is more of a meat shield... and to be honest, I haven't tested it as much as I wanted.

The only place of concern is the Cheren Vs. Bianca debate. It seems like I always end up with big hands, but Bianca is better for those late game Ns
