Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

How to beat the Deck above you...

this is so fun

Deck above is Skuntank/Moonlight/Mime/Q/Mesprit

Counter: Ampharos/Manetric/Mesprit/Mime/Lunatone/Giratina

Giratina spreads, followed by Evolutionary Gas lock. Mime helps with weak damage. Mesprit for early power lock. Luntaone to discard moonlight.
 
Deck above me is Amphetric w/ Giratina, Lunatone, & Mime

Counter Deck: Machamp w/ Palkia Lvl X tech

Use Machamp to abuse Weakness that runs rampant in the opposing deck, and use Palkia Lvl X (or Cyclone Energy/Warp Point) to put Ampharos and other Support in a vulnerable position.

win before opponent gets a chance to set up
 
The deck above me is Mightyena Pt and Skutank G

The counter is Rhyperior Lv X and Delcatty PT.

With no energy on it, Mightyena wil be stuck spending three turns trying to kill Rhyperior Lv X, whereas Delcatty makes the return KO quite easy.
 
Dialga G is in there... why?

^^^^^^^^ luxray/vire/tech dp dusknor

ONCE AGAIN ...


PLEASE TAKE THE EXTRA 2 SECONDS AND POST YOUR REPSONSE IN A FORMAT LIKE THIS:

^^^ deck above was ABCDEFG ^^^

My Counter is = HIGHKICKADOS w/ ZapadosG

Strategy = Shut down __ attack by doing BlockDufus Punch. Then spread to bench with SpamPost.


It makes this thread MUCH easier to follow. There are some areas where the thread gets confusing. So, please, help us out and make a "Deck Above, My Counter, and My Strategy" division.


We're really not interested in mere comments. Keep the activitiy going.
Mere comments make the thread hard to follow.

Thanks.

Deck was Luxray/Electivire/Dusky

Rampardos to abuse weakness and setup quicker. Also it needs very little bench space so Dusknoir doesn't hurt too much.
 
The deck above me is Rampardos

Counter= Standard Torterra deck

Strategy= build up torterra try to keep up and then brute force with vigorous dash and kill all the weaklings


Dialga G is in there... why?
to send the energies to the lost zone, not the discard pile for his other attack :p
 
^^^^^^^^ Deck above is Torterible
Counter Blaziken w/Heatran/Broken Time Space/4 Lake Boundry/4 Rare Candy

Abuse Weakness
 
^^^ Deck above is BLAZIKEN / Heatran/ Broken Time Space / Lake Boundary / Rare Candy

My counter = Gardevoir / Weavile

Strategy = use His Broken Time Space to pull up Gardy and Weaville. Weaville charges up Gardy.
Then hit with Psychic lock every turn. Heatran's power is no good and all of his energy ends up in discard.
His setup is also gone because Claydol/Uxie draws are dead. With TWELVE CARDS in his deck dedicated to evolving, he won't have much to save/recover energy or pokemon ... or much a drawing trainer line.... GG.

with LB in play OHKO with poison and outspeed you.

This is why you should start with : ^^ Deck above is ______ ^^^

You just countered the wrong deck man ...

So.... I repost ..

^^^ Deck above is BLAZIKEN / Heatran/ Broken Time Space / Lake Boundary / Rare Candy

^^^ Deck above is Gardevoir / Weavile

My counter = Ttar / Weavile /Omastar

Strategy= Let him use as many powers as he wants allowing me to easily power up my Ttars. Since he maxes out at 40 a turn against me, I just use Spinning Tail 3 times to get everything up to 90 damage. He dies if he can't use powers, so I can easily set up a second Ttar on the bench. My deck does not use many powers so locking me doesn't even hurt me that much. If he breaks the lock to use a Gallade to KO my Ttar (as it is a gardy deck I'm assuming that he has at least 1 Gallade), I simply bring up the second Ttar, De evolve his bench with Omastar probably KOing everything on it, and Grind the active Gallade for the game. If theres no Gallade I just use Spinning Tail untill it KO's everything. The addition of 4 Pokehealer+ makes it impossible for him to ever KO my ttars with Gardy. gg
 
^^ deck above is Ttar / Weavile /Omastar ^^^

Counter Deck = Glaceon LvX w/ Elec. Lanturn (LA)

Stategy = You and your Ttar obsession...LOL!
Ok... my deck will slow down your attachments, stop your Uxie drop, shut off your claydol, and spread to everything you were actually able to attach energy to.

By the time you get a fully charged Ttar, he's damaged enough to one shot with either Lanturn or Glaceon.

Curtains...
