mime can also help in mirror matches if its evolved from mime.jr (like anybody would do THAT).
mime can also help in magnevire matches (again if its evolved and IF they dont load up on spec
metals...)
 
Just to let everyone know, this deck wasnt built to beat Kingdra. It may or may not, (personally I think it does) but I could care less about just that matchup. This deck was built to have a decent matchup against most upcoming decks. Your constant bickering about Mime is useless, wait until you see it in action. Regice? Switch to Mime. Warp? Switch to Mime. Maybe I dont have the benched Mime, maybe Im not set up at all. IMO 65-35. Scorpio.

As for Leafeon and Magmortar, I agree. Anything with a lot of HP and energy can be Scorpio's downfall. Do I know this from playtesting? No. Do I know this from common sense? Of course. Although I do have answers.

I am so glad to see that my original scrap idea has grown to something people are actually considering playing. Honestly, Im touched. But I also dont care what tier the deck is. I never use that system. Its just an attractive name for the thread.

infinite paralysis FTW.
although this would be slow, running kabutops could prevent switches and warp points after paralyze,
poison and burn from gliscor
 
i put a 1 tech of darkrai md in mine, its genius. Sleep and 80 with gliscor and if they dont wake up with no switch card their in trouble. it came in handy against torterra and magnezone while testing today at a prerelease.
 
after playtesting this deck over and over again these 1 MAJOR problem. if you cant get the lvX out then you basicly lose. venamoth helps alittle but the damage input with gliscor is too low. Gdos >>>> venamoth. becuase gdos becomes a heavy hitter.





well i would change somethings

Darkria MD helps with the turn 2.
 
Yup, Azelf is ran just for that problem. If both of them are prized, oops! Also, Gyrados is an option anyone can put in the deck. Its really up to the metagame.
 
i think the g-dos/weezing or anythig else is pretty much not needed at all. this deck is looking all over the place i think when its answers are right in front of it. and i think looking at it as a lockdown deck is looking at it wrong, its an evasion deck. it allows itself to have all the power of a speed deck and the aggression, but without the fatal flaw of aggro decks, crap card advantage
 
im going to go out on a limb here... Mr.Mime is aweful. its "anti-kingdra" but it doesnt help. so you stall for 1-2 turns? it doesnt help you build up and faster, your energy costs are already extremely low so what is the point of stalling? in glisgor mirror match it doesnt make an ounce of difference so its a waste of 3 slots. 3 Mr.Mime? are you going that far to anti-metagame? three slots. its attack is bad, and with one buck/pluspower kingdra can kill it(as long as it has 3 energy). Mime was hyped when ape got popular but it was nothing but a speed bump to ape, and the same goes for king. i have tested several builds of king and mime does NoThIng.

just my opinion
 
in mirror match mime can prevent night slash KOs,
and if you tech in mime jr you will do excellent in mirror match. (but no one does that)
also stalling against kingdra is just wasting a bunch of time on purpose. its so gliscor can power up.

ty come again .... never.

yeah kingdra is only DECENT cause it gets to attach one energy to attack. Now it has to attach 3, and it doesnt even auto OHKO Mime. Then i hit you for 60 retreat and bring a new mime. or maybe ive already poisioned you and gone to hand. then i come ut and finish u off with 60 and run to bench behind a new mime or ... anything that isnt gliscor. Its card advantage dude, you lost a kingdra, a horsea, a seadra/candy, and three energy ... i lost .... a mime? gg dude
 
so to make the combo work against one kingdra you need 2 mimes and a level X?sorry but that seems unlikely... an azelf drop? 2 mime? a glisgorX? venamoth? that seems like quite a lot to get out. and you are trying to tell me all that is possible with NO claydol?


good luck
 
i dont need it all out. and actually, i can get both mimes with a roseanne, so how is it hard? i dont need anyting out but gliscor and two mime and a on a good day a spare gligar and a claydol

good luck hitting what u cant catch
 
claydol? this list runs none! and before you get out 2 mime you need glisgor. you cant night slash wityh out a levelX. so you need 5 pokemon cards to beat 2-3. you better have a supporter EVERY turn otherwise you have no hope.
 
this list plays no supporters, i do not support this list, but a good glicor does play claydol and therefore, does win. you can;t ignore claydol, to do so is silly. and if we start counting cards from the beginning of the game, my head will explode and the puppies will return.


brb building a good deck





back and the deck wasnt kingdra

tyvm for your input, but mime does allow his deck to smash kingdra

The deck does take a long time to set up.


I play a list like this:

4-3-1 gliscor
2-2 claydol
2-2 shedninja
2 unknown Q
1 unknown P
1 darkria MD
1 chatot
 
^^*looks at list* that 2-2 line under venomoth definately doesn't say claydol. Also, explain anything you've just said. I need 2 mime's out? 1) You better play 3-4 warps to even have a backup to that. Go ahead, run regice. Its such a waste. 2) GL even attacking when your constantly paralized. I need 5 pokemon? Once I get the X out and 2 mime's, gliscor auto-wins kingdra. Unless I'm an idiot, I set you up where you have to stall, while I draw multiple prizes, to power up a benched kingdra to OHKO mime, only for me to level X and hit you for 70 (posion), allowing me to draw a prize off of you anytime it comes active after you warp. I need a supporter every turn? Kingdra needs claydol t2 or else it goes "weeeee, I lose badly". On your other post, 3 cards to counter the entire metagame? How on earth is that a waste of space? Whats your answer to mime?
 
im just saying 3 spots on a stall?! not to mention you better have 2 mime, a gliscorX, and a claydol to even come CLOSE. and just saying kingdra is NOT the whole meta. (AMU sucks. Mirror match doesnt help.) and against Mag, Lution, Empolion, and others, this deck is just BAD. no matter how many mimes you tech.



(not flaming the list.... no offence..... i just disagree XD)
