Is there an anti Blaze EX deck?

Whishcash would be great if we could some how get 3 damage counters on Blaziken ex consistantly. Otherwise I don't think its great. In its defense you could power in 2 turns w/ Fighting and Boost.
 
wishcash is a waste, i have gone 14-5 with this deck so far.

It has lost to blaze variants the only times it has lost. one of those games was because i didnt have ANY energy for the 1st ten turns (i did manage to get two prizes that game somehow lol)

this dec kworks well against blaze as long as i get what i need, and i usually get what i need around 80% of the time
 
Possibly loose the Kingdra and add some swampert holo. Add a lot of energy to suicune, return them and put back on next turn.
 
An anti-Blaziken EX deck...

I've been mulling this over and have decided that an approach worth trying is to nip Blaziken EX in the bud BEFORE he becomes a problem.

Crobat lets you, upon flipping a heads, look at your opponent's hand and have him/her shuffle a Pokemon back into his/her deck.

If you could get a swarm of Crobats out, you could do some disruption and prevent not only Blaziken EX from coming out, but keep prevent the Blazikens from powering up other attackers.

I've been considering what to couple with this and I like Victreebel, but 2 Stage 2s concern me. (Same with Sceptile, another option.).

Ideas?
 
I was thinking about countering Blaziken Ex, and would Skyridge Machamp work? As in, not taking damage. I'm sure if you comboed it with something else that it would work well, if its Poke-Body works.
 
Good question about getting Crobat out fast enough. I'm not sure. I'm considering coupling Crobat (with it's power) with Omastar (with it's Pull Down attack) to counter the Rare Candy that people use to get Blaze out fast.
 
Well, you'll get the system out just as fast as they'd get a blazi and bex, or an amphy and blazi. Two stage 2's really aren't that hard to pull if you run the generic Blazi variant draw system (The "BVDS" for short).

Omastar seems like it just wouldn't cut it the way Victreebel would. But Exp-Skyridge are going to rotate out soon, so iono...
 
Well I remember WAYYYYY back when (a month or two ago :p), BigPoppaBeatDown came up with an Omastar Steelix deck with some tECh thrown in. Omastar was there to devolve the big guys Steelix couldn't handle, there was Electabuzz for late game (or possibly early) bench finishing-off.

BPBD declared the deck as being "chank", but I began to consider Omastar a more powerful card since then. It can devolve stage 2 evolutions, such as Blazy EX, and is out of reach, when at full health, of Blaziken EX's Volcanic Ash attack. It can KO Blazy EX with a strength charm, and gets out fairly quickly with the help of the trainer cards from Skyridge based on the fossil theme, not to mention its prevolution's attack.

Even only throwing in one or two is a good idea, as a limited form of tECh against pokemon relying on Rare Candy (Blaziken, Amphy, Gardevoir, and others) so it shouldn't do too badly against those decks. Running Omastar in a deck might not be such a bad idea. Even if only as a supporting guy, he can take a hit, with a BIG 110 HP, against non-infinite damage deck he'll live.

Just think about it. Really. Um.....are you thinking about it? Omastar could slow down BAR decks and Niniken decks, which Blaziken EX is included in. It could be a force in this format if played correctly, so contemplate its impact on different decks and see if you find it a worthy counter or not.

ummmm, he prevents effects of attacks such as special conditions and such, not damage. at least that was the way it was ruled whe ni played my machamp starmie deck last year.
 
I played Omaster Steelix at a tourney a couple of months ago. It did pretty well. It gets fried against big damage decks though, unless they rely on only candied Blazikens, in which case they go down easily.

Yes, but it prevents affects of attacks, such as being forced to retreat; placing damage counters; special conditions and such. Seeing as Volcanic Ash doesn't do any damage, it's still an affect of an attack. Or have I go some cards mixed up? X_x

Blaziken ex's Volcanic Ash DOES do damage, it doesn't place counters, so Machamp wouldn't prevent it.
 
Feraligatr does 140 if can get ten on Blaziken EX on the Bench, and Totodile is a good basic to knock out Torchic. If there is any water basic can do 10 to anything, or like Water Cube 01 can do 20 with one water energy.
 
Well, there are lots of water pokemon that do 70. I think that Suicune ex would make one of the best anti-Blazex. The problem is that Blaziken ex will just kill him with his non-100 HP ex-ness. So you'd need to put him in a Swampert deck or something. (Blastoise ex anyone?)
 
Since this is an Anti Blaze EX deck.. How about...

Wobbuffett (4
Nincada (4
Shedinja (3
Barboach (4
Wishcash (3

those as your pokemon. weaken the opponants blaze EXs with Shedinja and Wobbuffet, and use Wish to kill normal blazikens. Because wobb will be torn apart by a normal blaze.

Insert whatever trainers/energy you see fit.
 
There is only one cards that is anti blaize which is wobby and Blaize ex weakness is psycic and wobby cant be hurt by ex that makes him a card to play. Also a gardy deck will murder it.

Not one with Rayquaza or Ninetales that already beat Garde often.
