I loved this deck last format and I wanted to see if i could make it work now. So i tried to make it this format as well. Please rate on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest, 10 being the higest ^_^. All critiques, comments, and questions are welcome.

pokemon: 28

4 Smoochum (UF)
4 Jynx (UF)
3 Wynaut (LM)
3 Wobbuffet (LM)
1 Wobbuffet (PK)
2 Roselia (UF)
2 Skarmory EX (PK)
4 Holon's Castform
4 Holon's Voltorb
1 Holon's Electrode

Energy: 5

2 Psychic Energy
1 Water Energy
2 Double Rainbow Energy

Trainers:27

4 Cursed Stone
4 Holon Transceiver
1 Holon Scientist
1 Holon Adventurer
1 Holon Farmer
2 Holon Mentor
4 Energy Removal 2
2 Copycat
2 Steven's Advice
3 Curse Powder
1 Windstorm
1 Warp Point

Strategy: The basic strategy of this deck is to target your opponent's essential pokemon. This deck does have a relatively quick set up. It uses many factors to slowly put widespread damage on your opponents field such as cursed stone, skarmory EX's poke-body, and Jynx's pure power attack. This deck also uses roselia to immobilize your opponent. and wobbuffet slows down ur opponent's ability to retreat.

Special Scenarios: There are quite a few highly played strategies that can overwhelm this deck such as the "lati-lock." Some ways to deal with this situation are using jynx's pure power to hit latias on the bench, use roselia in combination with skarmory's poke-body. (latios EX will provide free retreat for latias, so they definately be more tempted to retreat and take 30 damage + 10 from flick poison). The Jynx and Roselia "Snipe-method" also works against houndoom. Also, another play that would put this deck at a set back is Giant Stump. It will be more difficult, but you should still be able to work around it. This deck plays 5 stadiums and a windstorm, so giant stump shouldn't hurt for too long.

well.. what do you think?? :lol:
 
4 DREs and 2 scramble are a must. Lose the er2 for 2 mentor and 2 dres. Loses the basic energies for 3 scramble. Lose 2 casties and 3 holon's trodes for 3 cyclones and 2 heal. Minus the warp point, farmer, 1 roslia, the copy cats and 1 skarmory for 2 brineys, 3 mary's, and 1 scotts.
 
well Smoochum DF > UF but somebody already said that.

I wouldn't use Curse Powder in this, I dont think would work that well.

You need 4 DRE and 2 Scramble.

this isnt Mynx so you dont need 4 Holons Magnemite. I'd drop atleast 2.

You also need 4 Mentor.
 
Looks very nice indeed, but aren't you going to have a huge amount of bad starts with so many 'unfavorable' Basics? Also, needs maxed DREs.

Thanks every one for the advice, and comments. I did recognize a lot of the draw backs with this deck. As we all know, there's a counter for every deck, and some strategies are just good against others. As for stated in the original thread, i know that "lati-lock" presents a problem for me, and the best method for handling this situation would be to use snipe damage with Jynx on Latias.

I also noticed that many people believe i should max out on Double Rainbow energy. I believe you are 100% correct. As for the basic energy, i put those in case of crystal beach situations. not only that u could make the most of a holon farmer. however, that effect is very minor so i will work on that.

as for the holon voltorbs, i still believe they are necessary. because scramble and double rainbow energy only cater to evolved pokemon. i also play roselia, wobbuffet (PK), and skarmory EX (normally not an attacker.. but utilization depends on situation) The voltorbs can be risky for "unfavorable starts" but if look at the deck list, u'll notice that i placed 1 holon's Electrode. in case i would need to evolve that voltorb. I've actually play tested that before and the electrode can hit for 30 with confusion. it also has free retreat cost.

Also, someone i know told me i should remove the curse powders. any thoughts on that??

but without their bodies, then Jynx will be taken down easily. the BEST method is to put in Space Center for a few turns until you can knock out Latias. so put some in the deck.
 
Skarmory EX is definately a plus in this deck because it puts damage on pokemon that retreat. some pokemon have pretty low retreat cost to start. wobbuffet is just there to slow them down. besides, many people have teched fluffy berry in heavy retreat cost decks such as metanite, or nido-gatr.

as for the space center thing.. it's definately a good idea, but is it worth losing cursed stone control for?? not to mention i play safeguard wobbuffet.. .. .. or.. hmmm.. how does the idea sound of playing safeguard wobbuffet as an evolved?? u can than attach scramble, and double rainbow energy.. any thoughts??
 
i thought that was the plan anyway! u evolve into PK wobuffet to use those things lol!
I like the list, its very nice, but where are the four reversals to lock your opponents "heaviest" pokemon into the active position? holon legacy is a nice play in mynx too- ur not doing any base damage with jynx, so shut off all their stupid delta powers!

Roselia does that.

It's a good idea but you'd have to use UF Smoochum because it would shut off baby evolution for the DF smoochum
 
I don't see the voltorbs as being essential to this deck because of you using DRE's and Scramble energies and also Basic energies. Also don't forget about Cessation Crystal you may want to put more windstorm in the deck to counter Fluffy berries and CC.
 
I'm not too worried about cessation crystal because roselia's attack makes that useless. but yes, when i originally made the deck for this format, holon legacy was in it (one of the main reasons i didn't play DF smoochum)

as for the reversals, another guy pretty much said it, roselia can do that, and there's definately no room for it. Thankz though :cool:
 
you're gonna need more than 1 windstorm even if you flick with rosila, a deck like raieggs will make flicking pointless
