Thunder Bond - Raichu/Electivire

[Flight]

Hey, 'Gym community!
I had this idea a few days ago and I'm working on it right now. Here's the decklist:


Redshark 3.50 Deck List
Date: Wed Apr 7 12:27:26 2010

Name: Thunder Bond
Comments:

TOTAL CARDS: 60

POKEMON: 21
Level-Up: 2
1 : Electivire Lv.X, MT-121
1 : Raichu LV.X, SF-99
Stage 1: 7
2 : Claydol, GE-15
3 : Raichu, GS-10
2 : Electivire, SW-25
Basic: 12
1 : Azelf, LA-19
1 : Uxie, LA-43
2 : Electabuzz, SW-87
4 : Pikachu, MD-70
1 : Skuntank G, PL-94
1 : Lunatone, GE-76
2 : Baltoy, GE-60

TRAINERS: 28
Trainers: 6
2 : Night Maintenance, SW-120
1 : Premier Ball, GE-101
2 : Warp Point, DP-116
1 : Luxury Ball, SF-86
Supporters: 14
4 : Roseanne's Research, SW-125
1 : Department Store Girl, AR-85
3 : Felicity's Drawing, GE-98
2 : Professor Oak's New Theory, GS-101
4 : Bebe's Search, MT-109
Pokemon Tools: 4
4 : Energy Link, SF-83
Stadiums: 3
1 : Technical Machine TS-2, LA-137
Technical Machines: 1
1 : Conductive Quarry, SF-82
2 : Sunyshore City Gym, RR-94

ENERGY: 11
Basic Energy: 11
11 : Lightning Energy, GS-118


The idea is to start with Pikachu, attach a :lightning: energy and Quick Attack. Next turn, evolve it into Raichu, attach another :lightning: and Thunderbolt for 100. Energy Link attached to Electivire and Raichu keeps the flow, Conductive Quarry gets energies discarded. Raichu LvX is just a bonus I can use sometimes.
TS-2 for keeping some energies when needed, Skuntank G for those 110-ish Pokémon.

Any ideas and positive criticism are welcome.

Nobody? Is it a perfect list? '-'

I would suggest adding Pokémon Contest Hall... and adding another Professor Elm's Training Method... not sure what to take out, though.

Sunyshore > Conductive stadium wise here IMHO. I would run at least 2 or 3 of those given that the meta contains many played Fighting cards like Donphan, Toxicroak G (promo), Machamp, and such.

I would also like to see some sort of emergency discard method in this deck. Something like a Lunatone or Blissey PT.

Contest Hall seems nice, but it's kinda counter-productive. I want to Thunderbolt whatever they have and Contest Hall would give him more Basics. I understand why you suggested it though.
PETM was just a filler. I might take it out for a Lunatone or a Sunnyshore City Gym, as suggested by vanderbilt_grad.

I just thought of taking one Conductive Quarry for another Sunnyshore City Gym and that PETM for Lunatone. I knew somebody would suggest it. :biggrin:

Thanks, guys! Edited the original post!


EDIT

Also, I'd like to add Unown G. What could I take out for it?

That's all? No more ideas? =/

You will probably get more input if you ask specific questions. For example, "I've tested this deck against Donphan and get trashed every time even with my Stadiums. Is there anything I can do for that paticular matchup or should i just accept that I'll loose if I see the elephant?"
