Scizor/Umbreon

[Solemn_Party]

This is just a list off the top of my head, so it's gonna be kinda rough. Feel free to destroy it.

Scizor/Umbreon
60 Cards

Pokemon: 25
3-3 Scizor
2/1-3 Umbreon (2 RR 1 MD)
1-1 Bronzong SF
4 Sableye SF
2-1 Uxie Lv. X
3 Mesprit
1 Unown DARK

T/S/S: 21
2 BTS
4 Pokemon Collectors
4 Pokemon Communications
4 Energy Exchanger
3 Bebe's Search
3 Expert Belt
1 Luxury Ball

Energy: 14
4 Special Dark
3 Basic Dark
4 Special Metal
3 Basic Metal


The Strategy is simple distruption: Scizor Prime can't be hit by pokemon with special energies attached, and Umbreon can't be hit by pokemon with pokepowers or pokebodies as long as it attacks with Moonlight fang.

I personally would take out the calls, and maybe throw in Unown DARK.
That way, you could search for any Dark energy, Basic or Special, and use Energy Exchanger to search for Special Dark.

But that's just me. I think it's more fun that way.

I agree with taking out the calls, but what else to put in? I wouldn't run more than 1 Unown DARK.

 

[broncosboy18]

Good plan.

Maybe add a line of Vileplume?

Eh, a stage 2 supporting a 2 stage 1's that can't attack is clunky.

 

[broncosboy18]

Ok, how about a Bronzong Cycler?

I dunno, I'm only running 4 Basic energies.

 

[broncosboy18]

But with Energy Exchanger you can get your specials out...

I guess, but I'd want more than just 4 basic.

 

[broncosboy18]

Well, run a 1-1 line of Bronzong in replace of Call, and throw in 2 more energies?

 

[Solemn_Party]

I guess I'd go:
- 4 Call
- 2 Interviewer's Questions
+ 1-1 Bronzong
+ 1 Unown DARK
+ 1 Basic Metal
+ 1 Basic Dark
+ ???

 

[broncosboy18]

+ 1 Luxury Ball!!!

Ah. Didn't realize I had forgotten it! Updating list now.

Looks good,
IMO Sableye > Spiritomb

Agreed, with all the trainers I'm running now.

Max out the Scizor line to improve consistency. Also try adding another Bebe's.

What would you suggest, then?

Alright, over a month after making the list, I finally tested it out, and it actually works pretty well. Great Gengar match-up with the Sableyes + Umbreons.
