Spoilers

Finneon LV.16 – Water – HP50
Basic Pokemon

[.] Aqua Liner: Does 10 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon.
[W] Mouth Pump: 10 damage. Flip a coin, if heads this attack does an additional 10 damage.

Weakness: Lightning (+10)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lumineon LV.38 – Water – HP80
Stage 1 – Evolves from Finneon

Poke-Power: Fin Sparkle
You can use this Power once during your turn, if this Pokemon is your Active Pokemon. Look at your opponent’s hand, and if your opponent has room on his or her Bench, choose 1 Basic Pokemon card and play it onto the Bench. Then, switch that Pokemon with your opponent’s Active Pokemon. This Power can’t be used if this Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition.

[.] Swift Swim: Does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon, ignoring Weakness and Resistance.
[W] Elegant Swim: 30 damage. Flip a coin, if heads prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Lumineon during your opponent’s next turn.

Weakness: Lightning (+20)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 0

The idea is to use Lumineon to make your opponent have a basic out from there hand and have Machamp OHKO it with it's first attack. Dusknoir is to make sure there's room on their bench, Claydol is draw power.

Tell me what ya think!:thumb::thumb:

Don't use pakia it's a waste of space. Also I would taek out a 1-1 lumineon line. Then add in a 2-1 uxie line. It's really good and it will help you get a fast start. Alos add in a few pokedex becuase it can help you get a faster set up.
 
I can see the Palkia line coming out but why in the world would I take out Lumineon line when it's half the deck? As for Pokedex I might try it, I was also thinking of Pokeradar.
 
If you want an example of a good Machamp list, You have to look at this one I made 2 months ago.

The Water Fist

I like the idea of De-evolver, I didn't even think about it.

Will Machamp LV.X be in the new set? If so, you should play it.

I really don't like the Lv. X, I think it's a terible card.

No stadiums? Good luck once Dusknoir lvl X gets put out as one against you.....

Something else I didn't think of, any idea which one I should play?

Machamp lv. X is a great finisher I would consider using 1 at least. But that's just me, I'm interested how this list will work. I do expect early 1-2 prizes with machamp! But again use a lv. X in the lategame. It is quite good imho.
 
QFTW! Seriously, aren't you confused with...... LUXURY ball?

No, actually I was playing Palkia Lv. X before and I took it out and I forgot the Premier Ball was in there.

I guess I'll try it and see how it does and change the list if need be.

Not bad but, I like the Lumineon idea so I'm gonna keep it in there.
 
I agree, a better option is a combo of Warp Point & Pokeblower +, Tech in 2-1-2 Devo-pokemon dude (lol I forgot it's name it ends with star doesn't it) I think you'll have more reliance on getting them back to basics... I like the Lumineon tactic to but I don't expect it to be fast enough, caus you need to get dusknoir & lumineon asap on the battlefield or the trick won't work. Hence I would add a Machamp lv. X.

That's all for now. I probably will use a slightly diffrerent and easier to use combo Gallade&Machamp with Weavile for energy draw and/or the option to ko basics.
 
I've somewhat playtested the deck and so far the Lumineon is very fast and works great. Blower isn't a bad idea, I'll try it. And I'm playimg the Lv.X.
 
im not sure wether or not de-volver would work because that counts as your attack AND they can just put it back on if it isent candied... other then that it looks good:biggrin:
 
It wouldn't but it was just for a tech in case of Dusknoir or other Stage 2s that were Rare Candyed. I just took them out for another Switch and the 4th Call.
