Regigigas

[Krusiv]

Pokemon - 20
3-1 Uxie LvX
3-1 Regigigas LvX
1-1 Claydol
1-1 Dialga G LvX
1-1 Palkia LvX
2 Unown G
2 Mesprit LA
1 Azelf LA
1 Regice LA

Trainers - 25
4 Roseanne's Research
4 Switch
4 Level Max
3 Felicity's Drawing
3 Premier Ball
2 Pokemon Rescue
2 Galactic's HQ
2 Bebe's Search
1 Luxury Ball

Energy - 15
4 Fighting Energy
4 Metal Energy
4 Water Energy
3 Multi Energy

Strategy - I wanted to go for a speedy Regigigas build where I can discard the energies then put them on Regigigas via Sacrifice. I don't want to use the Slow Start Regigigas so don't suggest it.

I think you should switch the multis with rainbows.

 

[prodigal_fanboy]

That's asinine. He runs no other special energy, so Multi is a Rainbow without dealing 10 to your own Pokemon.

This list looks nearly perfect as far as consistency goes. You could probably drop a multi for a 4th Felicity. The extra draw is much appreciated when you're trying to find those switches.

Edit: Didn't realize you had Claydol in here. In that case, drop a multi for a 3rd Bebe's. Good luck!

That's a glowing endorsement.

My list has been having some consistency issues, so I'm going to hybridize it with this.

 

[Spacing_Out]

-2 Level Max (Flip < Consistency)
-Claydol line (Overkill with the full Uxie line)
-3 Multi (Clashes with call)
-1 Luxury Ball (Just don't think it belongs in Regi, so many other draw tactics)

+1 Premier Ball (Flip < Consistency)
+1 Felicities (Its draw/discard, max it!)
+2 Rainbow (Doesn't clash)
+4 Call


I'm suggesting the call energy because it's devistating if you start with Dialga G, Regice or Palkia, and you have to try(or pray) to draw into a switch. Call help with consistency a lot as well. Uxie, Mespirit, Unown G starts as well can be better with a Call in your hand, and you don't have to burn a switch the next turn because you can just pay the retreat with the call.
Don't shoot down call without trying it!

Take out claydol and the pokerescue for a forth felicities which is so important, a forth premier ball, a NM (one is needed no mater what because with the rescue you can only get 2 pokemon and no energy) and if you have it a TSD. Otherwise add in anotehr NM or rescue but 1 NM is needed no matter what.

I agree with Spacing Out. Call improves consistency enormously.

 

[prodigal_fanboy]

I disagree. Having ran Gigas, I used Call once in ten matches. More times than it was beneficial I wish I had drawn into a different energy.

 

[Spacing_Out]

So how did you compensate for a rougher start and still get a T2 Gigas? And energy shouldn't be a problem in a Gigas deck.

 

[Krusiv]

I wouldn't say that Call is bad in Gigas but I just don't like using it. It's really not that hard to use Roseannes to get Regigigas if I don't start with it. And no, the Claydol line isn't overkill with Uxie. It's really nice to have... you should actually try it sometime, Spacing Out. Since I won't be using Calls I'm not going to use Rainbow Energy. I'll try to fit in another Felicity's though.

Honestly a Regice start isn't that bad. Being able to switch my opponent's Pokemon is always nice and that just gets me one step closer to getting Regigigas Lv.X charged. I don't mind wasting a switch to bench Regice. It's the same as wasting a Switch to level up a Pokemon, then waste another Switch to bring Gigas back up... and that's the main reason why I use Level Max. I don't need to constantly spam Restructure+Switch to kill stuff anyway. It's not like I need to Giga Blaster their 60HP basic... Gigaton Punch works just fine.

I run 4 Switches, 1 Warp Point. T2 Gigaton Punch is acceptable to me.

Only Regice, Dialga G, and Palkia starts are a problem since they're >1 retreat cost. Everything else represents another discard outlet.

It was when you ran 3 W 3 S 2 F to make room for 4 Call.

Yeah same here if I can get Gigaton Punch off T2 then I'm satisfied. That means that I'll have T3 Giga Blaster which is pretty good in my opinion lol.

Normally when I get a Palkia start I try to get T2 Tsunami going. If I can at leats get the cards needed for Gigas LvX in my hand then I switch Gigas in, Level Up, Sacrifice the Palkia then put the energies from Palkia onto Gigas. It's not as fast as i liked but it's good enough for me. Plus it lets me get some spread going early game lol.

 

[Bippa201]

I think you should change the Uxie line to 2-2

 

[Krusiv]

I think you should tell me why you think so.

 

[Bippa201]

You get a bigger counter to Machamp that way. Doing 60 is pretty good.

Actually, never mind. Stick with 3-1

 

[Krusiv]

Mmmkay.

Anyone else?

 

[gmuersch]

what i suggest is to take out the 1-1 cladol line and aadd 2 more mespirit gigas realy doesnt need claydol
