im not going to bash you for your opinion i agree with you
Speed Wrath with FR techs is about the same as Kingdra in damage essence as it can hit for 60 really fast and keep the beatings on, and I've had very little trouble dispatching Wrath, so I honestly don't see how Kingdra is any different, especially with Lopunny keeping the spread off and Mime soaking the hits.
Wrath is actually a harder match, because unlike Kingdra, it actually has a second attack that can get around Mime, which makes it a bigger threat, Kingdra has to waste 3 energy just to use its one energy attacks, which turns it into a much less useful attack.
I'm not afraid of Kingdra. Theres nothing about it that even remotely impresses me, seeing as I've seen a Wrath deck and a Kingdra deck, and the Wrath was far superior. Oh yeah, and this was a shameful bump.
Mime is not as big a deal as some are making it out to be. Either you load the three energies and dispatch it with a bucks in play, play a poke who ignores bodies like speed deoxy, use a secondary line to snipe the bench, play a warp if another isn't benched or just throw out your own Mime and everyone's on even ground speed wise... ultimately the most consistent deck has the advantage and as long as powers are being used I will draw into the warps etc..... Lopunny does absolutely nothing in the Kingdra match but give your opponent a prize. Against Yanmega yes. Kingdra no. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Scorpio won't win or Kingdra is awesome or anything, but with mime a possible tech in alot of decks, no decent player is going to lose because of that one card. I've always liked a secondary attacker in kingdra that is able to bypass mime and/or finish of Claydol when need be.......I'm just not getting how this is so one sided......
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

how would it do vs chomp. cuss in SD thats the new GG. how would it beat rush with heavy hitters?
The initial match ups on the front page of this thread are based on general builds and strategies. Techs have not made their way int othe format so if you want a complete match up database, you'd need five to eight different results per match up based on techs. Too much work for no reward IMO.
