PA, I had a build with bannete that just ran lunasol and bannete, trust me it did well and i got t2 bannete everytime, the only deck it sturglled against was mag thats why I thought of the gorebyss tech.

Toddakaesteban, I do take advice from other people trust me Im not just gonna sit around and say I dont like your ideas, I explained to you why I think gorebyss is better then octillory; first off, they have the same HP, second gorebyss has free retreat, to 1 hit a mag your oppoenent has to have special energy on there pokemon, which have the time they wont with crystal beach, gorebyss does at least 50 100% of the time, thats 100 to a mag, and with plus powers and if they flip tails I can 1 hit them, or make them waste resources. Trust me Ive looked at a lot of diffrent techs against magmoreter for this deck and I personlly think gorebyss is the best, the second to best thing I can think of is octillory or battlefroiner, if there running catty. As for the strength charm, everything is a pretty tight fit, do you have any suggestion what I should take out for it??

Flygon, the grumpig wouldnt be as affective but thank you f or the suggestion! heres the reason why; grumpig is weak against Gardivoir, and you already have bannete to one hit them.. Although it has a helpful body, mag players can still work around it.

Thanks for the comment and better explanation ICMN.


Any one else any suggestions or comments? Help is needed..


UPDATE: I posted 2 versions of the deck, the one with the gorebyss tech and the one without. LMK what you guys think! thanks!
 
I like the concept of your second choice, but there's 2 things that are kinda unsettling about it. First of all the Warp points seem an odd choice since normally it wouldn't matter if you got knocked up - I mean out. If they are there to get rid of your biggest threat, or just to warp out your opponents Big bad pokemon, you're better off just attacking it head on, and setting it up for a later KO. Also, with so few basics, you leave yourself open to lots of muligans. The rest of your engine helps correct that deficiency, but it would still be better if you didn't give them the extra to begin with. Personally I'd take out the warps for one more of each Luna/Sol

Also just noticed your count is off. Second deck has 12 pokemon, 34 trainers, and 15 energies (61)

Again, your saying that the Mag player wouldnt attach scrambles b4 you play Crystal Beach, or windstorm the Crystal Beach? Because they will, Guaranteed, until you can lock in a Crystal Beach they are not going to abort attaching scrambles

just as likely to flip heads as they are to flip tails.
and its not like they cant retreat after you confuse them
 
P_A, thats why I run 4 mentor and 1 roseanes to get the basics out as quickly as possible, that way pretty much guarntees turn 1 bannete because you can either mentor then use the warp points if you start with lunatone or solrock to still get the shuppet out there.

Politoad ex, what I mean is that the gorebyss is more consistent, it does 50 constently, unlike octillory which requires them to have a special, what happens if you play up against a deck that doesnt run special energY?

the whole reason you play Gorbyss is because you think it helps against Mortar. Octillary is supposed to help against Magmortar. Against other decks I'd assume that you'd attack with Banette, since, this is a Banette deck
 
Yes, politoad, if im not playing up against mag I probaly wouldnt use gorebyss, but it is a situational card.. It can be helpful in many diffrent scenarios. The confusion requires them to retreat, use a warp point.. (lose resources) and the switch could stall the game.. While octillory couldnt be game changing, it can snipe the bench, but with bannete you should be one hitting or 2 hitting.. Im not trying to abuse ur suggestions or anything, I just think gorebyss/huntail is a better option in this situation.
 
Hmm. it might work but thats another stage 2, and minun is a filler/tech.. I think i might have an idea for you ICMN. (since you like the red face paint..)

4-4 bannete
2-2 breeloom
2-2 slowking (or a starter)
2-2 water tech of your choice

lol! :thumb:
 
Lol, team richard must be a joke! Fs is actually competiive. We dont go around playing porygon z for states going 1-4!! :thumb: haha gotcha!
 
Plokoon, you dont want to buy peoples exact lists. You have to build decks the way you can play them best! After a while you'll develop your own style and then build a deck based around it.. You can still use the same idea, just a diffrent build. like trainers and pokemon techs. I hope you do well!

ICMN, oh ya sorry I was thinking of desmond.. lol

heh sorry, I'm a bit of a newb with the new sets, cause I took a year break, so I have the skills, but not enough time to get so familiar with the new sets that I can make my own deck, I just really needed something I thought would work well for a budget, don't worry, I'm 99 percent sure we wont be in the same regionals. Unless you are going to Santa Clara, CA. I'll tell you how this deck fares over here.
 
Lol.. Plokoon, thats where im going.. Unless i was going to the pasedena one.. The bannete deck is one of the easiest decks to run, but hard in some situations.. Let me know how it does though! Are you using the one with gorebyss tech? cause if you are i can give you probaly my real, best list.. LMk..


and ICMN fs stands for fighting spirit! :thumb:
 
yes, I'm using gorebyss tech, please pm me your aim or msn so we can talk, cool that we're going to same regionals.

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

oh darn, I just noticed that the tech'd deck only has 56 cards...

EDIT:

So I took the liberty of adding 4 more cards... tell me if its a good idea- I only wanted to use cards I had and were from your other list.

+2 strength charm
+1 castaway
+1 extra strength charm/felicity(prefer strength charm so I don't have to order felicity online...)

please comment back
