strategy set up claydols fast as possible, and attcak with flygon or machamp,whichever one is needed
 
This deck really doesn't make any sense to me. Why would you put in Flygon with a terrible Pokemon like Machamp?

Flygon is soooo good and you're ruining its consistency with Machamp. I just don't get it...

Also, 3-3 Cladyols are going to clog your bench. You should take it down to 2-2.

PokeDrawers are really inconsistent, so take those out for PokeDex Handy's.

And your Uppers should probably be Lightnings. That way you can free retreat Pachirisu.

This deck needs some major work IMO.

Flygon Machamp is able to control matchups. Don't be a troll. 2 of the Top 4 decks at worlds were flychamp. Obviously it works. Pokedrawer is debatable. 3-3 Claydol helps you get claydol on the draw, as opposed to having to waste your supporter to get them. Why use lightning, If you use Pachy at all then you would have an energy attached to it to use Call For Family or Smash Short, freetreat wouldn't be necessary.
Upper energy allows for the suprise Rage from machamp, or against a faster deck allows you to recover faster.
Any deck could use work, but this one doesn't need some major work.
 
Jordan, I don't think the Machamp Lv. X is needed when you already have Flygon as your main attacker. I suggest adding a 4th Rare Candy, Azelf, or a 3rd Cynthia's Feelings.
 
ive found that while having RR vibrava for a quick energy typhoon (or w/e its called) can be nice. SW vibrava has more HP and can spread damage around for 1 fighting energy, making it a better choice for early game if you cant get a flygon or BTS/rare candy. switch your RR vibrava to a SW one. keep the machamp lv x definitely. it really helps if you are in a tight situation. i mean, cmon. 100 for 1 fighting energy is too good to pass up, and if they do KO you next turn, cynthias feelings for 8. pwnd. IMO -1 pachi +1 relicanth SV. way better counter for tools than pachi is. again, thats IMO. one last thing, you dont really need it but i have a feeling it will help you in the long rung. -1 baltoy +1 rare candy or azelf. 2-3 claydol makes it so you have a lower chance of starting with blaltoy, and a higher chance of getting claydol T1.

good luck with the deck!
 
i really don't plan on attacking with vibravas much, so thats why i run both haha, and i like pachi for against palkia lock, doing one for eighty and discarding a gain with the possibility of more, but thanks ill test the 2-3 claydol cause i have been looking for an extra space. how do you feel about stark mountain in this?
 
-Pachi and Bebe
+2 Premier ball

Just a thought. You have plenty of pokemon search so it can't hurt that much to take out a bebe's. And I can't really see Pachi helping too much. Premier Balls should really help since you get Lv X's stuck in the discard quite often.
 
my 2 cents worth....

4-2-3-1 flygon RR (1RR trapinch/1 of each vibrava)
2-1-2-1 machamp
2-3claydol
1 pachirisu
1 unkon g
1 uxie
24

4 bebes
4 rosannes
2 cyntheia
2 warp points
4 candy
2 night maitnence
1 bubble coat(great in mirror or protect machamp from weakness)
1 luxary ball
2 BTS/memroy berry/poke radar/relicant/unwon g (you pick)
22

6 fighting
4 call
4 upper(IMO, a must if not running weavile, need to be able to keep up with the speed)
14

IMO running a stadium in flygon is a double edge sword. You want to use sand wall, but if your playing stadiums, that lessens the chance you opponent will play a stadium.

haha I have unkown g,and memory berry so i an use baltoys second attack, i dunno if that works but that would be pretty cool
 
The Unown G would probably be better. I wouldn't want to use Baltoy's Spinning Attack under any circumstances, but that's me.

I wasn't aware that Flygon was present at Worlds this year.

I am not sure what a "troll" is exactly? Are you calling me a magical creature who is relatively short and guards bridges?

I've changed my mind on the Claydol issue. Since you only run one Unown (G), it would be foolish to run more than one Claydol. Claydol is a sitting duck on the bench other than Cosmic Power.

PokeDrawer is still undependable. It encourages keeping cards in your hand, so you get less from Cosmic Power.

Free retreat on Pachirisu is more useful than you know. It means that once you attach to it, you never need to again. Think about it.

Upper Energy, I've found, is rather eh, especially in a deck that insists to run Machamp, no matter how much I don't agree with it.
