Slaking and Dialga G.

[Hippowdon SaveSand]

Has anyone made a good Slaking pl and Dialga g deck? I personally love the idea of being able to do a consistent 150 with Slaking's Best Dash, and it has good recovery moves with Memory Berry. I have no idea what other pokemon would go into the deck, apart from the obvious Uxies and maybe Spiritombs, and I was just wondering if anyone has tried making this kind of deck successfully.

I did this when the card first came out.

People simply send up things like Crobat Gs and Uxies to take the hit and then they run up with something powered up to take advantage of the attack effect that goes onto SLaking.

In the end, you simply can't keep Slakings coming because of the attack energy requirement.

It's even worse now because there are so many 1 energy (and zero energy) attackers.

If you can imagine having to attack with MachampX every time you attack....
yeah... it's kinda like that....

Doesn't Slakoth have Flail? If so, that with Memory Berry can actually do a little bit. You still are stuck though, either you need to take a lot of damage or equip a ton of energy to Slaking. In either case, your opponent can relatively easy play around your big hulking beast.

DCE and Upper Energy will be your best friend here. But I can see some potential in it.

I did this a while back. While it does work, it's way too slow for what's out there right now. Essentially seconding what Rogue said. Even with memory berry you won't get to use it because you would have to stay alive through the next attack to use it. It is very possible though.
