right- most people will remember speedtrode or dragtrode or dark heart whatever people want to call it. for people who dont, the idea was to get dark energy/dark metals out of the deck with dark electrode, then move them around using dark dragonite. the dark dragonair worked so well because it let you search for the evolutions. effectively you had pokemon which cud get pokemon and energy. people played it with or without dunsparce. without (as i've gone for here as i dont rate plusle that highly) uses dual ball and lanettes etc to get basics out. the rockets sneasel was used to...well, hurt things!! big time!! 30+10 more for each dark pokemon on ur side of the field and THEN dark energies.
right, so thats the basic strategy. why am i reintroducing it then you ask? well, firstly, what killed the deck was battle frontier (and to a lesser extent, mount moon) and medicham. with all the eeveelutions going round- no mt moon. people are tending not to play battle frontier as well (disagree if you want, but every metagame is different), nor have i seen much medicham. theres four ruins in there anyway and with all the other exs going around...
secondly, ive noticed a great use for the new holon's evolutions. when u attach them, you have to take one energy back to your hand- ok, so take back a dark metal from a dark electrode's power, THEN have a double rainbow- fully moveable with dark dragonite!! two energy for the price of one, AND searchable with dark dragonair? sounds like a dream come true to me!!
so, what you guys think? please suggest changes and what you think of the idea in your metagame. please dont just say- oh, one medicham ex GG because im sure at a tournament i wont face 6 rounds of people ALL playing the same deck. i do love my tech cards and id like to use a pow but cant see room at the mo. please, tell me what you think of the idea.
thanks
