Peachyoto said:Yeah I've been playing Dark Slowking for a long time now, and I definately see the great improvement it will get once Cursed Powder comes out, definately will be an even better contender. (although space seems to be already limited, so many great tools =p) Just want your opinion on something since you're a fellow Dark Slowking player =] but do you think the new Slowking will actually prove useful in the deck? I mean the power is good and the attack is nice, but it has some downfalls that I am not sure are worth it. First of all it needs a Slowpoke, so that limits the Dark Slowking swarm a bit, unless you use retriever for it but by then the power is still useful but not as great. Second, a great thing about Dark Slowking is that it gets out fast because of Rocket's Poke-ball. (I play 2 celio's and 3 rocket's poke-ball in mine I think, lol) We'd need to up the celio's more to get Slowking out quicker, but would that have an effect on the deck? I really don't know right now that's why I ask. Lastly, is this Slowking really that great of a backup? It has a maximum damage potential of 80, still weak to grass, and is still psychic. I think I'd prefer a different Pokemon as back-up just in case of weakness/resistance. I dunno, I'm like spacing out right now so if this post doesn't make sense, sorry.
lol, yeah I am thinking more clearly now. (after a short nap =p) I totally forgot about Shard to help with resistance. I don't know what I was thinking earlier, the nwe Slowking will be awsome, gettig it out sooner is something I'll have to try and work on though. (most likely more celios) Mary's impulse definately helps a good deal, but with all the new tools coming out it will be hard to decide on which ones to use, especially when you can only attach one at a time. (cursed powder seems great for Slowking but then you cant attach anything else =/ no shard, charm, etc. probably won't be a huge problem though) Anyway though, I am getting ahead of myself, the set isn't even out yet.Dark Umbreon said:Hi Peachyoto,
Slowking needs much less space than other lines and he starts to work at a time Dark Slowking would fall back since he littered most of the tools into the discard allready. Since one runs four Teleporter and four Retrievers in evil knievel decks anyway the increased amount of Slowkings does not matter much. Have a total of six Slowking and the need to retrieve will be minimal. Ditto would be an option too here in case you like that more. With regard to the draw engine remember that you can now run a total of tweleve draw trainers other than Rocket's Pokéball due to the intoduction of Mary's request which assists the deck a lot. Inbetween the deck thinning of Rocket's Pokéball and the classic draw arsenal Slowking will be out in time. Remember that there is still Crystal Shard to over resistance issues and weakness does not matter that much in this evil knievel swarm since most lines would be able to knock out Slowking in one hit when entirely fueled.

Totally have to agree.TheDarkTwins said:I would rather use plusle... get 2 pokemon is better than drawing and possibly getting 0...

This should explain why they printed Life Herb in both HL and FRLG, and then, we'll have 5 sets in the upcoming Modified start (FRLG, DX, TRR, EM, and the new set). Isn't it enough to play?
Plus, this new set will bring really useful cards, and new archetypes will see the light, finally
The funniest thing is, during the Neo days, everyone used Cleffa... this new one is so much similar to the old one, but... who will use it, now that the baby rule is gone, and it has a retreat too?
