Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

How to beat the Deck above you...

OMG... ignore this dude...

anything with dilgia g
stop there body and hit their pokez

How in the WORLD are we supposed to counter a reply like "anything with ___ "
honestly, that's making you look bad. Stop it. It's not clever.

ANYWAY ...

I'll counter ...
deck above is Manetric/Ampharos w/ Kabutops Tech

I'll use = Kyogre + Electric Lanturn (uxie draw)

Strategy = 4 super scoop ups. Draw with Uxie and scoop her up. Use Kyogre to just load, hit , and spread for weakness + bench damage. Energy Split with Lanturn and then more Kyogre. I won't have the pokepowers. Between Kyogre spread and energy split, anything they bring up will not want to see Kyogre's little 60 + weakness damage.
 
Deck above is Machamp/Dialga G

Counter: Glaceon/Espeon/Umbreon/Suicune/Omastar

Provided you can't get the body lock by T4, say good bye to Claydols, as well as Machamp X body. Suicune constantly revives Glaceon and Espeon and Umbreon rid it of the metal weakness
 
The above deck is Glaceon/Espeon/Umbreon/Suicune/Omastar

The Counter deck is Tangrowth(GE)/Sceptile(GE)

Strategy: Use Tangrowth's Power Whip to snipe important/vulnerable Benched Eevees and their Eeveelutions. Second priority is to hit Claydol. Tangrowth's Resistance to Water should limit Glaceon's damage. If/when Tangrowth approaches the KO point, build a new Tangrowth on the bench while using Stick and Absorb to slow Glaceon's already limited damage level.
 
Deck above is Tangrowth

Counter: Magmortar and friends

Weakness kills in this match, and with Magmortars speed and self healing, Tangrowths relativly low damage output wont be able to pile up fast enough to scare off a Magmortar before it blows the Tangrowth up.
 
Deck above is Magmortar.

Counter is Froslass/Ampharos PT w/ Uxie engine (so your own powers don't get locked by Magmortar's spread).

Strategy: Hit for weakness while shutting down Claydols, Heatrans, Typhlosions or whatever. You can 2-hit the first Magmortar regardless of healing (and possibly not even get hit back if they stay asleep) and they probably won't be able to set another one up without their powers.

40 + 30weakness = 70
-20healing body = 50
+40 + 30weakness = 120 KO
or if they level up, 40 +40 (x2weakness) = 130 KO
 
Deck above is Froslass(LA)/Ampharos(PT)

Counter is Toxicroak G/Skuntank G/Honchkrow G w/ Dialga G Lvl X tech and Crobat G tech

Strategy: Use Honchkrow G to gather Galactic HQs to ensure that evolved pokemon have damage on them. Then, use Honchkrow to snipe at Ampharos (or Flaafy, if you get that opportunity,) while stalling for time to set up Toxicroak G and Skuntank G. Then, move Toxicroak G to Active and Skuntank to Poison. Either set it up so that you unexpectedly 1-hit the Froslass, or use poison/Crobat's Power to KO it after Destiny Bond. Dialga G Level X allows Skuntank's power, if you let them keep/get Ampharos out after Honchkrow is gone.
 
THANK YOU, JAYSON! See, there is a counter for Fire-Type Pokemon other than Kingdra!! Props. =]
(I'm not implying every one of you has said Kingdra, I'm just sick of everyone saying "Ooh, ooh, I know! Kingdra! Again!". Thank you.)

Anyway, ^^^deck above=Toxicroak G/Skuntank G/Honchkrow G w/ Dialga G Lvl X tech and Crobat G tech^^^

Counter: Machamp/Mesprit/Unown G/Stark Mountain_palkia lLvX

Champ OHKOs everything but Toxicroak> so Restructure up Skuntank & get rid of it & everything else until Champ has enough energy to hit Toxicroak (shouldnt take too long)

I apologise for my sloppiness but my keyboard has suddenly gone berserk> > >(i can"t even type periods X_X)
 
^^^deck above is Champ/Palkia/Mesprit

Counter Dusknoir/Donphan Damage even FTW abuse weakness Donphan covers up weakness to dark and OHKOes Gaurded Pokemon
 
Above deck: Machamp/MespLock/UnownG/Stark/PalkiaX

Counter: Speed AMU/Mesprit MT

Just too fast for machamp, hitting weakness before you can setup.
 
Above deck: Speed AMU

Counter: Dusknoir with mewtwo lvx. Abuse weakness from the pixies with Dusknoir and stop them in their tracks with mewtwo lvx his body. If they somehow ko mewtwo lvx, use your night maintenance and ko the counter to mewtwo lvx. Uxie is applied as draw because he has a nice poke-power and zen blade could ko some pixies. Use moonlight stadium against their stadiums which could be Team galactic's base. Moonlight stadium will give them free retreat but you too. They already have free retreat thanks to one of the MT pixies.
 
Deck above is Dusknoir with Mewtwo Lv.X

Counter is Mightyena PT/Skuntank G with Mightyena LA tech to lock up Mewtwo. Maybe some galactic stuff for backup: Crobat + Honchkrow for sniping, Toxicroak for type coverage.

Strategy: Mighty PT 1-hits Dusknoir for 0 energy. 80 + 30 weakness + 10 from Skuntank's poison. You can usually lock Mewtwo down for at least one turn with Mighty LA before they attach an Unown G to it. But by then it's too late and you can just switch out for Mighty PT and finish them off. Oh and you have tons of counterstadiums because Skuntank needs them for his power.
 
^ Mewtwo deck

Counter: Regigigas

Stratagy: Kill the mewtwos with palkia before they can kill you. If they do get mewtwo up get diaga g out and one shot mewtwo with uxie. Otherwise just sweep with gigs and palkia.
 
Deck above is Regigigas

Counter: Glaceon/Suicune/Omastar/Espeon/Umbreon/Mesprit

With Mesprit and Glaceon, you create a never ending lock. Suicune keeps reviving Glaceon, and Espeon and Umbreon give him solid stats.

No Sacrifice slows you down
 
^^ Deck Above is Kingdra w/ Dialga G LvX ^^^ <== that's SO doable too !

Counter = Ttar / Omastar / Mesprit

Strategy = Drop the mesprits to delay their precious set up T1-T3 then Use those Uxie and Clayol powers against them as they scurry to develop a couple of turns late. Grind for the win. If game runs late, Omastar drop then spin tail off those Candied Stage 2s FTW.
 
^^ Deck Above is Ttar / Omastar / Mesprit

Counter : Scizor/Cherrim/Shaymin/Skymin/Pluspower/Buck

No Powers so Mesprit/D-drive are useless and shaymin for that extra HP boost and Skymin With Cherrims and PP to OHKO Ttars
 
Deck above is Scizor/Cherrim/Shaymin/Skymin/Pluspower/Buck

Counter: Toxicroak G/Skuntank G/Dialga G Lv. X/Crobat G/Stadiums

Turn off all the bodies with Dialga, and beat down with the rest.
