Niiice. Just noticed this post. I came up with the idea of unlimited Blastoise/Suicune ex a long time ago, and I tried it out. It was pretty good.
This modified version of that unlimited version prolly will be the next archetype, but I'm not sure if I would use Milotic... maybe a 2-1-2 line of the non-holo swampert from rs, so the dmg from stoise 'ex's power can basically be removed if you attach it to swampert (just thinking though, does that rule say once per turn??)

I prefer TAWR over Suicune EX...for obvious reasons...as in Milotic heals all pokemon 'cept EXs. I've gone 20-4 with this deck with my newest version, which I'm not releasing to the public, I think the list is near perfection and won't share it since I don't want fame THAT badly. Blastoise EX can attach as many times as ya want, I don't really think the Swampert line will fit, but this is my ALMOST newest version:

Pokemon: 20
3 Dunsparce
3 Igglybuff
3 Squirtle
3 Blastoise ex
2 Feebas
2 Milotic
4 Team Aqua's Walrein

Energies: 17
17 Water

Trainers: 23
4 Birch
3 Reporter
3 Battle Searcher
4 Mr. Briney's Compassion
4 Archie
3 Rare Candy
2 Netsushi's Network

^_^ Only 17 supporters! Pwnage! O_O This version is doing great! Check out Nick15's spoilers for trans's on Iggly, Netsushi's Network, and Battle Searcher, along with Milotic and Stoise ex. This deck is in great shape for the future, unless Milotic or Blastoise ex is banned (and you complained about blaziken ex.......:rolleyes: ).

Does Swampert-Latias ex make it on to the top seven?Although, I guess this is RS-on, so lack of Juggler hurts.. hurts bad.

I think WalREIGN made that obsolete. I'd much rather do something better damage wise, (ie WalREIGN) than something 100 a turn, which won't be very good in RSon. However, if you can keep playing the way you did last time we battled, you're set. I think WalREIGN will make it pointless tho, espeically since TAWR isn't an ex.

Yeah, I guess it is obsolete, and its strategy would fall under roughly the same category as Walrein, but it still might be good in its own right. I'll be playing Walrein anyway once Blastoise ex comes out, can't wait.

Only 1344 more people on this board to convince!

Still not sure...should I use Corsola or Iggly as my backup to Sparce?

Replies!

After that debate, I agree, Iggly is better. He isn't at all dependent on your hand size or your opponent's bench, like Corsola, and you know what you're getting when you search.
 
Now, they can be missing a dunsparce and you Corsola can still be good. Without the sparce, they're left wide open with a bunch of tiny pokes, so, you can still draw plenty, and pound away relentlessly with the BBP!

Should I run Walreign, I personally would choose Corsola over everything else, just because of that HP, solid attack lineup, and alternate weakness from most water types. Igglybuff is good, but when I think more and more about it...*ponders*
 
All things considered, they are about even, but Iggly is just more reliable. Plus, though Corsola is weak against a different type than normal, it is the samge type as Walrein, the other guy who's gonna be active.
 
Type means nothing with Igglybuff 'cause it does no damage =/

Here are the main reasons why I'd choose Corsola over Igglybuff (for now, anyways):

Draw: Corsola=Igglybuff (solid draw can be just as useful as specific draw in many situations. One of those 1-6 cards could very easily be a Professor Birch, which, in turn, draws MORE cards. Igglybuff just thins out the deck)
HP: Corsola>Igglybuff
Attacks: Corsola>Igglybuff
Retreat: Corsola=Igglybuff

You guys play what you want, but Corsola just does way more with the deck's strategy, goes well with HPS, can be Blastoise'd, and has the potential to be a lifesaver.

Iggly frees up room for trainers: it finds energy guaranteed, so I brought my wata count down 2 17.
 
Blastoise EX is an awesome card :D

Hands down, I will also be playing something like Woopers deck.

Yay! Thanks....doh! Another two people just joined the gym! 1345 to go. :p

Okay, I was playtesting with Mudkip the other day, and he played Metagross ex against my WalREIGN. I got awful luck, I didn't draw a Dunsparce the whole game (two were in my prizes, two near the bottom of the deck), but that's beside the point. I think if I had gotten a near perfect setup, he could have beaten me. Why?

Take a look at Metagross ex. A gust of wind attack and 40 damage for just (MC). Tell me that isn't broken. Furthermore, Walrein has weakness to metal. I was SCREWED. I played him close until about three turns into the game. Lol, he KO'd my Feebas so I couldn't Milotic to heal, then pounded away at my Walrein. In that battle, I never had more than five energy at a time in my hand.

Still, even if I had gotten an uber setup, it would've been a freakishly close game, Mudkip pwned me, I didn't get a single prize. :D Ah well, 20-5 ain't so bad.

What do I do against Metagross ex? tECh anyone? O_O

You could always go back to that weird castform sun/water thing you mentioned, but iono...*ponders*

However, I think the environment itself will be far more tech than any one card to go in here. RAMBO. As we already discussed, Blaziken beats this thing with not too much trouble, so:

Blaziken>Metagross
Metagross>Walrein
Walrein>Blaziken

Of course, you could play things a little differently to gain an advantage over your weakness (ie Milotic), but this is pretty much how the triangle may go, with some tier 2 and 3's busting through them all on occasion.

Regirock ex can OHKO Metagross ex, but teching in an ex and the required energy seems like way too much trouble. The other thing I think might work is Wobbuffet. Depending on how this is ruled, I think that if you have Wobbuffet active, Metagross won't be able to pull out Walrein because the switching is "an effect of an attack done to Wobbuffet by your opponent's Pokemon-ex" as Wobbuffet's Safeguard reads. Although, all the other guy has to do is use a Warp Point to get Woobuffet on the bench, retreat back to Metagross, and then use the attack and pull out Walrein, since it's no longer an effect on Wobbuffet as he's not the one being switched. Weakness Guard also might allow you to hold off long enough to get the KO on Metagross ex. The other thing you could do is reintruduce the Castform line, but I dunno.

Oh, wait, I just had the best idea. If your opponent uses Metagross ex, just tech in WHISCASH to foil their plans... or better yet, SKY Pichu!!!!!

I found yet another reason why people may play my original BaD MoM over Walreign: Metagross! o_O

~~~BaD MoM/Walreign~~~

Pokemon (24):
2 Squirtle (ADV6)
1 Wartortle
2 Blastoise ex
2 Skitty (Double Edge)
2 Delcatty (Energy Draw)
2 Magnemite (Random Spark)
2 Magneton (rare)
2 Feebas
2 Milotic
4 Dunsparce
3 Walrein

Trainers (19):
4 Archie
4 Professor Oak's Research
3 Mr. Briney's Compassion
3 Nishiki's Network
3 Rare Candy
2 Battle Searcher


Energy (17):
2 Multi
15 Water

While your opponent can still gust out, Magneton makes life a little easier. IT is what could easily buy you the time you need to defeat Mex, as Meteor Mash will only do 20 and 70.

A more simple counter I thought of was to just use Buffer Piece, but....iono =/
 
Yeah. Im just awaiting the ultimate cheese of Gengar EX. He should be able to dominate the entire scene for a very long time :( I hope blastoise EX /walreign finds a way around him :eek:
 
i don't see how gengar ex could dominate, but anyways, woop i think the power of metagross is being able to move the counters off and have protection of metal, but i dont get slowbro out ASAP (2 of 'em) im pretty much stuck since there is no nurse and now that reversal is reworded to the correct way, u might as well include them to gust my slowbros and ko them before they can remove enough damage off meta ex

BTW i totally forgot Walreins weakness whilst we were playing lol, thats why i started gusting feebas instead of ohkoing Walrein, stupid meh lol
