Hello! I´m new here in Pokegym. I´m from Finland and I play actively in Masters and this is my third season of competitive playing.

So here is list of my deck that, I´m going to play in Battle Roads. All advice and comments are welcome.

Stage 1 Rush!

3-3 Cinccino
2-2 Zoroark
3-3 Yanmega
1 Tyrogue
1 Cleffa

=18

3 PONT
4 Juniper
3 Collector
4 Judge
4 Communication
3 PlusPower
4 Junk Arm
2 Pokegear 3.0
3 Catcher
=30

4 DCE
4 Spec. Dark
4 Rescue
=12

So the strategy is simple. Just get six prizes rushing with Cinccino and Zoroark. Yanmega is to snipe on bench and dealing with Donphan.

The biggest problem is match against Gothilock. I cant OHKO it so itś allmost an Autoloss.

Pretty good list.

When it comes to Gothilock, I would make sure you have a Judge in hand then Judge them and KO some of their basics (mainly Solosis).
It will commonly rely on Twins to set up and if you Judge them away, you might give yourself some time to KO other basics before they hit a Twins. PokéGear + Junk Arm should help get a T2 Judge for your first KO.
 
Yeah.. I have also thought about using Judge to mess up with my opponent´s hand and at the same time get easy prizes with Cinccino and Yanmega.
 
the goth-lock is irritant but never an auto loss. perhaps include Relicanth & mew prime to counter it?

Relicanth to lost zone one of your cinccino's then use mew(s) to copy the do the wave with 4 pokemon on your bench giving OHKO's

though if you dont want to run relicanth then you might have to invest in psychic/rainbow energies.

Atm im currently using mew prime(s) as my counter sending of jumpluff (mass attack with rainbow energies)

another suggestion would be black belt, if gothitelle starts pulling back the prizes and you fall behind you could do 140 damage with cinccino giving you those OHKO though this wont help you take the last prize card

Besides those here are some other counters to gothitelle:
Pokemon catcher based pokemon - bellsprout, carnivine, muk etc
Xatu

hope any of these help
 
Good deck, but why 4 Juniper? Wouldn't discarding your entire hand hurt you, especially if you do it 4x over the course of a game?
 
@Darksanctuary:
Thanks, for all of your suggestions. I believe that Black Belt would be the easiest way to Counter Gothilock, and im playtesting with that now.

@Terrorblade:

I used to play Donphan, but it´s hard to move around and it only hits 60 so that´s why i decided to take that away.

@darth_vader:
I have 2 Pokegear 3.0 so i can easily play something else if Juniper is not good for that sitsuation. I just like it that´s why.
 
^Yeah, that could work. What I would do is try to Judge them and snipe with Yanmega. If they get through that and set up Reuniclus and Gothitelle, set up Cinccino. Then Do the Wave with Black Belt for 140 damage. If you can KO enough Gothita or Solosis at the start of the game, they'll be shut out from having an effective enough number of Gothitelle/Reuniclus.
