Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Scizor/Cherrim - The Deck That Just Doesn't Die!

So, I'm not even going to talk about Dialga G or Chenlock...

You should definitely be running Buck's Training Method as opposed to Oak's Visit. I can't think of a solid argument against such a play. I'd also like to say that you need at least three Collectors as this deck is nothing without a solid bench.

I think Sablelock is unfavorable for you as well, but I've never seen said match up occur.
 
I personally wouldn't play Bucks, as I don't have tons of issues with damage output and just drawing two is bleh. I don't know about 3 Collectors, but if I get another I may try it.
 
If there's one thing I enjoy running in this deck, it's Raitei. It fits in just fine with the deck since it runs next to no powers when you use Thunder Fall. Rainbow Energy also makes a good addition in that it can put Scizor in range for Honeycomb Defender as well as power up Raitei.
 
Again, really sorry if it sounds like me nitpicking/bickering, but I think that you should, along with techs, list cards that vary from list to list. Not really techs, just cards that vary depending the person i.e. I would run Buck's, Underground, Copycat while you'd run PONT, Cynthia's, Looker's.

JMHO though.

Hope I helped! :biggrin:
 
No problem. I don't really want to edit the list right now, and I just laid out a kinda skeleton there. But good ideas!

I'd use Unown R, but it can be sprayed and then there is -30 damage on Scizor...

I used to play Drawers and Pokedexes, but the draw didn't help tons. I may try them in the future tho.

One thing that I have noticed is that SP players usually won't waste a Power Spray on Unown Rs, although they may against this deck if it was the only power.

Unown Q can be sprayed too, but does that stop people from playing it?


I like this article. I think it is a lot better than the article that was posted on this deck in the past.

@Redados - SP players, if they are familiar with this deck/or it's later in game, they will spray an R, hoping to make me do less damage. Plus, I don't want to start with one. I may play Q in the future tho, could be good.

Thanks!

@Porii - Yep.
 
I actually made this deck but i put in 2 unown R ,2 combee (honey), 2 vespiquen UD, 3 cherubi SV, and 2 cherrim AR, and I love the deck! So far I've only played myself but it's beaten my salamence deck with ease 4 times! I found honey combee is wonderful because you can play unown R put it in your discard and draw and get it back and draw again with combee. Vespiquen is good when i was battling top accelerator salamance with shoot through I believe that does 20 to a benched pokemon which would knock out any combees I have played in a few turns or cherubis. Vespiquen would protect them and its a second attacker with Mach Wind for 60 and then I could retreat next turn for free to get scizor out. I put 2 AR Cherrim to just in case go defensive. Cherubi SV because I found I mostly started with it so with growth I could attach an energy to a scyther I just drew and be ready next turn to retreat cherubi.
I did take out the chatot because I actually don't have one. D:

^Cherubi SV is a good idea, I may try it.

I'm also gonna try -1-1 Cherrim for a Twins and a Black Belt.
 
so i ran this to top 8 in states 2 years ago... i used one of each shaymin x, miasma valley, bts and poke blowers... maybe 1 ar cherrim wouldn't be bad to try out... and the new t/s from tr seem like solid ideas for this deck, imo.

also, thanks for helping show that this deck can be more than something poke-dads play to keep sane while their jrs compete!!

I removed 1-1 Cherrim for a Black Belt and a Twins. May mess with it some more if I'm going to CC's, but it worked well the few times I could make it to league.
 
Ok, so I have built this deck an this deck has never failed me once since i built it like 3 months ago. I have only lost like maybe 2-3 times. This deck is fantastic!
 
:confused: Just wondering what decks do they play where you are? Gosh! I loss at least 10 times or less ( with over 20 wins ) and I got 1/3 at two cities! ( the first I went to I got 2/2 ) I do play the deck differently like with 3 vespiquen ( 2 UD and 1 SF ) and 3 combee ( 2 honey and 1 enraged assault ) and personally vespiquen sometimes ( 50/50 ) hits harder than Scizor.
 
I got 2-1 and second at BRs with this exact list.

Its fun.

I actually removed 1-1 Cherrim recently for a Black Belt and Twins. May take those out for another DCE and something else.
 
I love how in-depth this article is.

I run Scizor/Cherrim but I have 4 Cynthia's and 1 Blackbelt.. I'm used to Pokemon getting knocked out (Garchomp, etc)
