The strateg- Just swarm everything:thumb: I like this deck becuase no matter what you start with, just retreat without any sweat (sence Kingdra only takes 1 energy for attacks). The other energys get discarded through attacking, Alakazam, Unown ?, retreating and of course Falicity's. This is DP-On, and I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have that would be shared below. Have a nice day!:wink:

PS: Debating on if I should replace 4 +Powers for 4+ Poke'Radar

Honestly the Unown's aren't needed. Kingdra discards so much on its own that its absurd. Alakazam is a good tech for the deck, though. I would drop the Unknowns and (possibly) the Omastars, toss in a 1-1 Dusknoir and 2 Dawn Stadiums for special condition decks.

-1 Abra (MT)
-1 Alakazam (MT)

-1 Helix Fossil (MD)
-1 Omaster (MD)

-2 Unown ? (LA)

+1 Regigice
+2 Quickball
+1 Time Space Distortion
+1 Chatot
+TM Devoluter (Tech)

Use Regigice for extra dumping power, chatot for stall and quickball for emergencies. Should work a little bit better IMO.

dragon pump is the main attack of kingdra so drop unown?
Click to expand...

What's Dragon Pump got to do with Unown? ?

Kingdra is a SPEED DECK. You can't start unown? and slow it down. In order to "swarm," you start horsee and build the horsee...

Aqua Stream is there for the BIG STAGE 2s that may emerge late game.
Some times, you find yourself so far ahead that you Aqua Stream just to get your energy back into the deck...

I agree w/ the others. Drop Unown? .. it's not for this deck. I see what you're thinking, but you'd use the unown? for something like an EnergyAbsorption MewTwoX deck.
 
Well, maybe I had a poor choice of a starter (not really, his poke'power isn't bad. your opponent will always guess Water even when you have a Fighting or Psychic type in hand).

But Kingdra CAN run a starter. Heres why:
It only takes 1 energy to attack with Kingdra. So you attatch turn 1 before you have a Kingdra, Seadra, or Horsea out. Then you can just retreat whenever you want, and you loosing that energy attachment per turn isn't really a loss since it only takes 1 energy to fully charge a Kingdra (if I could have Rare Candy'd+Horsea+Kingdra, then I wouldn't wanted to have started with the starter, so I would simply start with Horsea instead) The starter can speed things up, and the beauty about it is it doesn't have to be Chatot in order for a good retreat. Maybe Pachirisu, Jirachi, or Phione <<but I only really like Phione when he has Call Energy to go with.

Origins: I have played around with Kingdra myself and DOES need a starter. For a swarm deck, you must play a swarm card...Pachirisu... and you must build up that card...Claydol...and thats it. If I were to go any further, you would get my exact list but, I am going to keep it to myself.
 
-2x Unown ? (LA)
and
1x Abra (MT)
1x Alakazam (MT)
or
1x Helix Fossil (MD)
1x Omaster (MD

+4 Pachi. That way, you can get T2 Claydol and/or Kingdra and then discard the rest of the pachis with dragon pump
