no duhh decks are built around one strategy and that's fine but in order to be a good player (judging by a lot of the people's post alot of you are not) you need to know when to throw that strategy out the window and improvise and Magnezone is one of those decks, if it gets set up, your are screwed. therefore you have to be faster and that's not hard for gliscor to do if you play a good enough list

I said in the article that speed is a necessity vs. Magnezone, did I not? Furthermore, if your strategy works, why toss it completely out the window? Night Shift can save you games, why would you prefer to Venamoth stall for Pester for some extra damage when you're just going to get KOed? If you Level up into a Pester then that is a sfae play, and I never discouraged this. What posts are you seeing of mine that portrays me being a bad player? That's a laugh, you can't see in play skill on a forum, nor can you even assume that of me, I would say, after a few years of owning at this game.
 
well first off I never said names now did I Im well aware who you are and was not talking about you. and secondly I don't play venemoth rofl, it sucks. Im saying that from my personal experience and analysis of both decks, throwing the initial strat out the window is what you have to do sometimes and I think it helps against magnezone.
 
BTW, anyone else do any testing against AMU with Leafeon tech? So far I havn't been able to beat it. Leafeon lol's at mime and lets them continually ohko all your pokemon. Considering that AMU has plenty of ways around Gliscors tricks, I'm not really sure what to do.

Right , you do throw it out the window "sometimes", and as I stated in the article, you DO change styles of play "sometimes", when the "sometimes" refers to early game. I'm glad you see it my way now.

And DarthPika, no one is testing vs UMA + Leafeon..

and y not? it is one the more successful amu variants
 
ROFL your way. just because I did not waste my time stating what would be the obviuos to a skilled player does not mean it is your way and not mine or other's own personal opinion

BRs have not started yet. NO deck is successful yet.

The60746: Just stop, you assume I'm bad with no evidence or backup for your worthless stories. You're wrong and should just give up. Nothing of what you have said about our claims about Magnezone have been correct, except for what I already stated in the article.
 
lol never said u are bad, in fact I know you are not bad. and stories? does it look like Im telling you a story. do you want me to tell you a story? PM me for that. and they have been correct because I seem to be one of the only guys on here not complaining about how I can't beat magnezone because I can. maybe you guys should fix up your list so it can be speed and hide and go seek

PM you? Nah, I'd rather you feel stupid publicly, I won't hide away to the PMs. It's good that you know I'm not bad, most know I'm not bad, you on the other hand are just making yourself seems foolish. As stated before, our real list isn't displayed on the forum, we actually have two seperate lists. Maybe your Zone list needs some work? All Zone needs to be set up is a Claydol and a Magnezone. That isn't hard, at all to set up. Your idea that Magnezone is slow is very misguided.
 
never said it was slow, said I was faster. maybe you should look at my list, maybe yours is not consistent enough.. and me feel stupid on pokegym? never.

it really does not matter because I dropped the deck because it can't work yet. maybe later in the season, but IMO not yet

So far EVERY deck I've tested in this format has some bad matchups. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Luxray can nuke AMU but looses to Groudonk
Magnezone smshes Froslass but gets the near auto-loss to MagLeaf or Skittles
etc.

Every single deck can be countered by something else good that's out there. I've yet to find the deck without at least one bad matchup. So what if Scorpio has a bad matchup or two? It doesn't really matter unless said bad matches are popular in your meta or it starts to turn out that Scorpio is having more bad matchups than good.

I think time could be more productively spent finding techs for some of these ... for instance 1-1 Houndoom can be evil vs Zone and might even give you a Burned condition on him to exploit ... and working on making the list more consistant. Plenty of my other decks are playing solid & fast but I seem to be having a lot of slow starts with the lists in this thread.
I would agree with him on this except for the fact that houndoom is a bad tech for magnezone lol. I mean 120 (because u are not going to have fewer benched) and then they 80 you?? KO??? waste of 2 cards and effort to get it out??? waste of getting fire energy??? I think so"

I think you misunderstood, I think Vanderbilt meant that Houndoom should do well against Magnezone.
 
no, I can read lol, I understand what he said and simply agreed with the entire post except for the last part with houndoom and then i gave my reasons.
 
I just recently tested a version with 2 Mespirit, 4 SSU, and 2 Maintainence. Mespirit gives you an HUGE advantage over so many decks and it works really well with the pick up theme. I believe it is a must now or at least considerable.
 
if you played the darkrai version you would have 4 ssu and yes I would agree that a mesprit or two may not be a bad idea especially for the mirror. if you lay it at the right time to prevent a clutch cosmic power or Lv X power, it can be game changing. I never played it but toyed around with the idea
 
This tech has so many techs to be played in it its crazy. I remember making this deck like Flariados and it worked T2 like,its a amazing deck when you play the basic way

3-3-1 Glsicor/Gliscor X
3 Darkrai MD
1 Articuno MD
2-2 Claydol GE
1 Regirock
1 Azelf LA
1 Mesprit LA

Roseannes
SSU
Bebes
Warps
Night Maintenance
Stark Mountain
Cythanias
Bucks
PPs

Fighting
Call
 
After seeing all of these lists i think they are very interesting. Here is my own that i currently play with (sorry that it is in the Redshark format, i am just lazy)
.
POKEMON: 22
Level-Up: 2
2 : Gliscor LV.X, LA-141 (I find that 2 Gliscor Lv.X is VERY helpful during some matches)
Stage 1: 6
2 : Gliscor, LA-5
2 : Claydol, GE-15
2 : Venomoth, SW-73 (Probably my favorite tech IMO, this thing helps set up Pester, and my opponent's don't want to hit it while i use Disturbance Dive)
Basic: 14
2 : Venonat, SW-116
2 : Mr. Mime, MT-30 (Amazing Stall Tech)
1 : Shuckle, SW-109 (Considering a majortiy of my matches have someone playing Call or Multi energy, this guy has helped out alot too)
1 : Azelf, LA-19
3 : Gligar, LA-94
2 : Unown Q, MD-49
1 : Chatot, MD-55 (Haven't found much need for this, i will probably take it out)
2 : Baltoy, GE-60

TRAINERS: 23
Trainers: 7
2 : Night Maintenance, MT-113
2 : Warp Point, MD-88
2 : Premier Ball, GE-101
1 : PlusPower, SW-121
Supporters: 12
2 : Cynthia's Feelings, LA-131
2 : Professor Oak's Visit, SW-122
4 : Bebe's Search, MT-109
4 : Roseanne's Research, SW-125
4 : Technical Machine TS-1, LA-136
Technical Machines: 4

ENERGY: 15
Special Energy: 2
2 : Call Energy, MD-92 (i only own 2 Call Energy so i only play 2)
Basic Energy: 13
4 : Grass Energy, GH-129 (so both of my Venomoth can attack)
8 : Fighting Energy, GH-127
1 : Psychic Energy, TK2-12 (Azelf has scored me several critical KO's with Lock Up, also can be used with Mr. Mime)

At this point my only switch will most likely be 1 Chatot for a PlusPower
 
This deck requiered much set u add + 2 call, no psyquic, use multi energy ...
1 premium ball is fine ...
4 TM-TS1 is abuse ... 2 max ... and 2 poke-radar much basics .
Chatot? ...
Suckle? + SSU o is 1 easy prize for oponent ...
Azfel? = 3-3-1 line gliscor, no 3-2-2, no is necessary ...
My deck gliscor is gliscor + venomoth + shedinja + claydol + mr.mime and Unown Q.
Shedinja is neccesary is case of my oponent use warp and venomoth K.O Use shedeinja free retreat, weak, and good Poke-power ...

IMO.
