Hi guys, I am looking for a deck that I can play on SC with possible top cut record, but I dont wanna play any kind of SP deck, Gengar based deck or Gdos. Do you think that is around something, what has playable matchups vs SP (60+%) and Gengar vars (at least 50/50) + not autoloss vs gdos ? I tried Machamp/Magnezone, but I dunno, that deck doesnt hear like I wish.

Thx for all suggestions.

Im attempting to do the same thing up at MD states.
Im working on a Monarchy deck that uses Nidoking TU, Nidoqueen RR, Donphan Prime. Using expert belt w/ Nidoking TU you do 140 damage if you include posion which happens to be the magic number for Luxray GL Garchomp C and i think Dialga G all in their lv X forms. Google up King of decks sixprizes and look for the sixprize.com article on it.

If you don't want to play any SP, Gengar, or Gyarados, then these are probably the most competitive decks left . . .

Magnezone/Regirock
Machamp
Gigas
Yanmega
Steelix Prime
Uxie Donk (MAYBE)
 
I tested Yanmega/Magnezone, but its autoloss vs LGG from my testing results and even anti-luxray-x-ape doenst improve that matchup at all T_T. On other side machamp has nearly autoloss vs Gengar vars and also vs Gdos sux imo (best is 50/50).

I thought about this f meta a long time, but it looks that deck that beats SPs with like 60+% winrate sux a lot vs Gengar and same in other way.
 
You can't win them all.
Best you can do is just run SP, seeing as that has the best match up with most.

I think you can run Steelix, Gigas, Or Gyarados, all good choices.// or uxie donk :D
 
Dark Disruption -
4-4 Weavile UD
4-4 Sharpedo TM
2-2 Umbreon UD

4 Team Rocket's Trickery
2-3 Judge
2-3 Looker's Investigation
2 Seeker
2 TM TS-2 Devoluter

Those are the core component's.
 
With the time ruling going back to how it was before Battle roads, Steelix has a good chance, a Belted Gaia Crush plus Skuntank G, KO's Gyarados in between turns so it gets around rescue, it has a decent LC match up and a Non belted Gaia Crush Plus Skuntank is a KO on Gengar sf without Fainting spell, plus you have resistance over gengar.
 
not asking for much huh ?(sarcasm)
Try Scizor prime. Almost every deck exept lostgar has to play some kind of special nrg to win and with a healing tech + special metals these guys can be a pain in the butt to K.O. Will it win? Probably not. Can it place t8. Sure.

NO magnezone pair Yanmega with Straptor SP X so you can fast call your jUdges and copycats when you need them

sure, but with magnezone draw power you ofted dont gotta play "same hand sized supporter" like copycat or judge, you can go for another setup card like bb, collector etc, or rarely play seeker. anyway magnezone is also great hitter in late game, you usually takes last 2 prizes with it and its great vs gdos, which you cant kill with yanmega and gdos gets you ohko.

anyway thx everybody for their suggestions ! it helps me a lot :) <3 !

GL in games ! :)
 
concerning Yanmega. The only effective way to run it - to me - is running full out speed and swarm. Yanmega needs no partner, a 4-4 line is good enough - with supporting pokes like crobat, jirachi RR, and the pixies.

Speed Yanmega, with a consistent decklist, can usually set up t1 and hopefully can speed out Dialga G

Starraptor makes Yanmega too slow. From recent testing, I would suggest Sunflora. Speeds you up and lets you swarm so much quicker!

Also, a GREAT bonus from Sunflora is that it can search a card out after you play judge or copycat - letting you play a card that you draw into - this has made me gain the advantage at times throughout many matches of testing.

and between 4 judges and 3 copycats, and even the manual hand evening out, you will be able to attack virtually every turn just fine :]

UPDATE: Cannot say too soon about SP and Gengar - but speed Yanmega has performed a nice 4-0 against testing with a competitive gyarados. Judge really does give Gyara a hard time ^^

yes, decks with Dialga in it will be almost an auto loss. But i am thinking with Judge and t1 Yanmega you *might* have a chance. Yanmega is all about hitting hard T1. If you cannot do that, you will have an uphill battle with luxray and especially the Dialga Family.

Yanmega does great against Gyarados though. I can also see that it could be effective against LostGar seeing that Judge and low Pokemon count are both attributes of Yanmega decks.
