Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

How to beat the Deck above you...

Deck above as Amphy/Noir.

Gigas: Sorry to be crude, but my last post was pretty much the same as this one. How are you going to Dark Palm when 1. They can EASILY contain a bench of 3 by Sacraficing or 2. Continous Mesprit drops shut you off. And, Dialga makes Ampharos useless, and it is just an easy a tech to throw in as Palkia was. Your analysis just doesn't make sense. :]] And don't tell me how long that'll take, a deck of basics with 4 Premier Ball and more than several switch isn't going to need 4 turns to get it out if it needs it.
 
Deck above is Regigigas

Glaceon Lock with Vaporeon: When Gigas can't use Sacrifice or get the energy, it is to slow

I'm pretty sure I'm sounding like a broken record now but Dialga..srsly..And the deck runs several Warp points..

Anyways,

deck above is Glaceon w/Vapor

Magnezone: Even if they can shut him off after about T3, what little time he has is enough, and unfortunately they don't shut off his body, which makes it easy to warp out and then take advantage of weakness. Once glaceon is gone for a single turn, Zone gains the upper hand.
 
Deck above is Magnezone

Toxicroak G: Prevents paralysis and has poison, scoop ups and body lock to shut Magnezone off.
 
Above is Toxicroak G.

Any Other SP Deck: Ranging from Gyarados, Houndoom, Honch, Weavile, etc. Any SP deck(you pick!) can beat Toxicroak which will max out at 20 base damage with its main attacker. Weavile can step up, but also only maxes out at 70 for 3 which is far from amazing. Honchkrow can snipe anything for 40 with a Crobat drop. Gyarados has 110 HP and can spread or hit for 100 for 3 with Energy Gain. Houndoom can hit for 60 for 2 as well but must discard a dark. Bronzong can spread as well with energy manipulation. Weavile can also take on Croak with ease.

It's funny, I actually built a pretty random Honch/Bronzong deck the other day just so my friend could play me. The advantage I had was hilarious. And while some more teched out Croaks can contend better with mirror, their whole strat has to be completely changed and well thought out.
 
Deck above was Machamp w/Palkia tech.

Raichu Lv X with Voltage shoot and Lanturn to build early damage on bench (bypasses those pesky unown Gs).
 
the deck above now is raichu x lanturn


whoah we posted at the same time one sec scratch the dusky X regi X idea one sec

Rhyperior Lvx line with 4 groudon LAs and snowpoint temple and togekiss and warp energy (i think if warp switches your pokemon) and 4 switches

get out snowpoint temple for the groudons to be harder to kill + its resistance
get togekiss out and get all the energies to the groudon, major earthquake, switch or warp energy then rhyperior to get all the energies back and then use roseannes get more and more energies attach them to groudon and continue the cycle
 
The deck above was Dusknoir/Gigas

Rampardos w/ tech Weavile one shot both regigigas and dusknoir and generaly OutSpeed them
 
Deck above was Ramprados

Speedrill

It can keep up with it, hits it for weakness and can have back-up hitters set up a lot quicker than Rampardos if it plays 4-4-4 with 4 Broken Time-Space and 4 Rare Candy
 
^^^^ deck above is Speedrill ^^^^^

Infernape PT & SF / Rayquazza

reload and "fire" :)

c'mon dude. this really ain't that hard. YOU pick a deck and post your counter... one deck.
Dude... please be SPECIFIC and not just say "any deck that has _______"

There are LOTS of examples of how to keep this going above you...
 
the deck above me was Infernape SF and PT/Rayquaza

Kingdra LA line along with Blaistose PT and kyogre LA, 4x rare candies 4-4-4 lines for both 4 roseannes research and a lot of water energies 4 switches and possibly a togekiss line to help get the game started

just like the deck above, charge and reload.
first kyogre helps get the energies a flowing
kingdra can get out very quickly, usually T1 T2 (you wont be ready) and already be ready to kill as it ever will be. use its dragon pump kill the active switch, discarding more energies
blaistose comes double launcher discard more switch then aqua stream then repeat

USED to be infernape/farfetchd but things got far fetched so this is just saying, i was infernape until i saw someone posted right be4 i did, My bad

Ha, I actually agree with you 100%, I think Gigas beats Ampharos easy. I just didn't want the thread to run in a circle by saying "Rampardos."

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Deck above was Infernape.

Kingdra with 1-0-1 Omastar. Weaknes and wasting candies.
