The Most Disruptive Deck Ever! (imo)

I don't know if it's been said, but some energy acceleration would do you better than those Crobat G's. Toss in a few Kyogre and increase your Water Energy count a little bit.

Aside from that, not a bad build. I never really thought of running Giratina with Empoleon.

Edit: Oh, one last thing. Run some Looker's Investigation or TGW in there. Lookers is great, mainly because it takes your strategy and makes Platinum Empoleon even more useful.

Force your opponent to shuffle and draw five. Supreme Command twice. Knock Off for one. All five cards will be gone.

Your only real problems will arise if your opponent has a Claydol or plays a drawing supporter (Mom's, Buck's, Mars...). The prior, however, won't bother you for long as you can easily be rid of the Claydol with one strike from Empoleon Level X.

I like Mars in this deck.

Mars, while usually subpar in most decks, can play really vital role in the disruption combo.

Let loose -> 4.
Empoleon Lv.X's power -> 2.
Team Galactic's Mars -> 1.
Knock off -> 0.

Now, topdecking Bebe won't automatically give your opponent Uxie, which usually takes off 4/11 chances of getting Uxie out (4 Bebe, 4 Roseanne, 2 Uxie and Luxury Ball) used in decks. That can be a game-changer, as single Uxie usually screws your strategy, when you only have 2 attackers.

Ah, thanks Dennis, I forgot about Mars.

This is a beastly idea, all together. I'm making a similar deck using Ampharos and Manetric as tech, but I could actually do something like this until I get an Ampharos (PT) and some Manetric to do it. (It's a Power-Lock deck, by the way.)

Here's this deck type with my modifications, along with the Mars aforementioned by Dennis.

21 Pokemon

3-1 Giratina X (PT) (2 'Let Loose' Giratina, 1 with Overslash)
3-3-2-2 Empoleon X (DP) (PT Empoleon)
2-2 Furret Line (Take care of getting everything set up, and can be used to swap energies around.)
2 Kyogre
1 Azelf (LA)


23 Trainers

3 Broken Time-Space (PT) (Three is enough.)
3 Level Max (PT)
3 Team Galactic's Mars
2 Looker's Investigation
2 Bebe's Search (SW) (4 Bebe's is pointless with Luxury Ball, even though you can get a Level X with Bebe's. With Furret Decked, Bebe's becomes even more pointless.)
4 Roseane's Research (SW)
3 Switch (SW)
2 Rare Candy (Not Really Necessary)
1 Luxury Ball

16 Energy

9 :water: Energy
6 :psychic: Energy
1 Call Energy
 
My goodness, why does everyone think Level Max is good? It's called Premeir Ball people.

-4 Level Max
-1 Warp Energy

+4 Premeir Ball
+1 Roseanne's
 
Level Max is good for when you want LV Xs on your bench but don't normally want them active (Heatran, Dialga G, Pixies sometimes, Giratina if you only want it for the Power).

I agree that Premier Ball is probably better for Empoleon, though, but I wouldn't drop a Warp Point. It's needed in case of Giratina starts and after using Hydro Impact.
 
Wow! i just saw @ the reasearch tower what ferret does. ITS BEAST! its just like using jirachi's one desire twice - but 2 turns sooner.

Sorry level max is too much needed. this is why - putt giratina on bench, use its power, and level max it. all in the same turn. meaning, so once my opponent attacks, theyll have zero in hand w/out me having to waste an attack w/ empoleon. Please note - this is for when i get a start w/ out giratina in the beginning. although, i might be able to fit premier ball anyway. any suggestions on that?

Ummm. i don't get it.
What if they have Claydol? Then they just replenish their hand every turn, kind of defeating the purpose of your deck.
Just curious how you play around that.
 
I thought Amphy would help @ first, but that's when i realized it could shut down supreme command. what bippa201 said was i dont need it cuz i can KO claydol before they use cosmic power. (i have my doubts about that...)
 
up your consistency


20 pokemon
3-1 giraina Lvx (all let loose)
3-2-3-1 empoleon
2-2 furret
1 azelf
1 mesperit
1 spiritomb

24 Trainers
2 BTS
2 Rare candy
2 lookers investigation
4 premier ball
4 team galactic mars
4 roseanne's research
3 warp point
2 bebes search
1 luxury ball

16 energy
2 call energy
4 rainbow energy
6 water
4 phychic


Premier ball is better than level max because giratina only has 130 hp, and then you cant get it back without premier ball
mespirit can prevent your opponent from playing a crutial uxie

This list was optimized specificly for consistency and speed, nothing else

*This wreck's the deck's concept.

You need two Empoleon Level X's to double-Supreme Command. If I'm not mistaken, 4>2.

Also, Furret helps enough with the speed. You can practically search out all of your evolutionary lines while preparing to power them up.

I was just wondering why do you have a lone call energy in your deck

It's one of those things that you either get early on or you use for a colorless energy late game(coughcouchGiratinacoughcough). With the way the deck works, if you don't get it, you won't need it. If you do get it, it helps speed things up a little bit.
 
actually, one supeme comand puts away 2 cards and you cant use more than 1 empoleon lvx power per turn so you only need one
