How possible is a First Turn Win? A lot of factors are involved including your deck building prowess, the selection of the best first turn cards ever, and of course elite playing skills (otherwise known as luck).

Sableye
Overeager - I go first
:dark: Overconfident (10) If the Defending Pokemon has fewer remaining HP than Sableye, this attack's damage is 40.

Crobat G
Flash Bite - Put a damage counter an opponent's Pokemon.

Mad Scenario 1:
Your opponents starts with a 40 HP Pokemon and no benched.
You start with Sableye and draw a Dark, Multi or Special Dark Energy. Sableye attacks For The Win.

Insane Scenario 2:
Your opponents starts with a 50 HP Pokemon and no benched.
You start with Sableye and draw a Special Dark Energy or a Dark/Multi and Crobat G. Sableye attacks For The Win.

Mega Insane Scenario 3:
Your opponents starts with a 60 HP Pokemon and no benched.
You start with Sableye. On your turn you drop a Crobat G. You attached the Special Dark to Sableye. Sableye attacks For The Win.

The key components to the deck: Sableye, Crobat G, Special Dark Energy. Honorable Mentions: Dark Energy and Multi Energy. Everything is else is high tech filler.

If the above scenarios don't work out, you could use Sableye to grab a supporter and Kirlia could re-use it later. Gardie can borrow your opps Supporters too. That's the closest thing to card draw in the deck for Pokemon. I thought about Rare Candys and Bebe's but it's too late to really matter now. Your supposed to win first turn. All else is just passing time until the next round of the tournament... but looking elite while your doing it. Hey, we even took the time to run with the PT Ralts over the SW Ralts, that's true deck building prowess brother. Claydol, Mesprit and Company would all be over kill, so let's not go there.

Pokemon (15)
4x Sableye (SF)
4x Crobat G (PT)
2x Ralts (PT)
2x Kirlia (SW)
2x Gardevoir (SW)
1x Gardevoir LvX

Supporters (14)
4x Roseanne's Research
4x Plus Power
4x Buck's Training
2x Cyrus Conspiracy

Trainers (15)
4x Poke Healer +
4x Quick Ball
2x Premier Ball
1x Luxury Ball
2x Night Maintenance
2x Team G's G-105 Poke Turn

Stadiums (2)
2x Galactic HQ

Energy (14)
4x Hershey's Special Dark (Can also be used to bribe certain judges)
4x Dark
4x Psychic
2x Multi

Matchups:
Budew's Rat Abusin' Frenzy: 8/2. That's a roasted Budew bulb Sableye (SW) is munching.
Ke, Ke, Ke: 0/10. Ke, Ke, Ke is the irresistible force.
Anti Ke, Ke, Ke: 0/10. Anti Ke, Ke, Ke is the immovable object... even with no Red Bull.
G-whiz: 5/5. G doesn't have too much to lock down here.
Infernal Catty: 8/2. So yesterday's tech.
BlastBatty: 2/7/1. Twisted deck designs cause great confusion to the Psychic lineup.
DONK 3000: ?/?. Untested.
Baltoy's Bonanza: 1/0. They left crying before we could attempt another 9 matches.

According to top secret tournament guidelines, it counts as two wins, if your opponent is forced to start with Baltoy and you lay him flat with the Sableye, Special Dark knock out punch.
 
The deck looks like a lot of fun. How do you plan on going against SP decks though? Their HP is soo high it will be hard to get any T1 wins. Also PlusPower isn't a supporter, it's a trainer. I just thought I'd point out that typo for you. :)
 
Can you post the matchups in English please?

And -Gardy, +Uxie. Uxie is a must if you're going for a donk.

Matchups:

Budew's Rat Abusin' Frenzy: 8/2. That's a roasted Budew bulb Sableye (SW) is munching.
English Translation: Sableye with dark energy will first turn k.o. Budew, Ratatta, and as mention in another post Magikarp and Feebas, along with a lot of other 1st turn basics with <=40 HP.


Ke, Ke, Ke: 0/10. Ke, Ke, Ke is the irresistible force.

G-whiz: 5/5. G doesn't have too much to lock down here.
English Translation: The current run of decks G-Basics. The >60 HP on these Pokemon make this a miserable match-up. However, without much to lock down, who cares?

Infernal Catty: 8/2. So yesterday's tech.
English Translation: Decks last season feature Skitty/Delcatty & Chimchar/Infernape. Skitty and Chimchar have <60 HP.


BlastBatty: 2/7/1. Twisted deck designs cause great confusion to the Psychic lineup.
English Translation: A made up deck name off the BlastCatty theme.

DONK 3000: ?/?. Untested.
English Translation: It seems one in three decks on here are "DONK" (quick knock out) theme decks. What's faster than a first turn K.O. without the need for Trainers, Supporters, Evolutions of any kind?


Baltoy's Bonanza: 1/0. They left crying before we could attempt another 9 matches.
English Translation: 9 in 10 decks featured here include Baltoy. Here's what happens when Baltoy is drawn alone in the starting hand.

FINE PRINT: All matchups are purely fictional. I have not had time to play 10 matches per opponent, let alone the 100s of matchups proclaimed in other posts. Like this...

Beware of satire.


Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

The deck looks like a lot of fun. How do you plan on going against SP decks though? Their HP is soo high it will be hard to get any T1 wins. Also PlusPower isn't a supporter, it's a trainer. I just thought I'd point out that typo for you. :)

Plus Power not a supporter??? What? Doh! Good catch.


SP decks require a lot of well timed distractions to help defeat the opponent.

- An attractive friend to draw your opponent's attention away from the game.

- Exceptionally bad breath enhanced with a Limburger & Onion on Rye Sandwich -- anything to make your opponent cry, cough or puke.

- A large fan to blow the cards off the table.
