So, ever since ND I've been playing Darmanitan with mixed results, and I want to know if I can improve its consistency. I've made some adjustments to the trainers and pokemon in the deck from how I used to play it. Before today my Darmanitan line was 3-3 and my Gardevoir line was 2-1-2, but I made those adjustments today. Let me know if that's a mistake.
Recent tweaks and why:
Added extra Darmanitan and Gardevoir line.
-I got a mulligan 3/5 times. ended up with a Victini start once.
Replaced Juniper with N.
-Juniper + this = no.
Removed one Flower Shop Lady for Super Rod
-Would get FSL early in the game. Other supporters are more useful.
Removed two dual balls, added collectors
-3 is better than 1-2.
Added Twins
-My opponent takes a few prizes, then I power up and steamroll them. It happens. This deck is a little slower.
Engineer's Adjustments is one of my favorite supporters. I am keeping at least two in this deck no matter what. I used to run four.
Tweaks I'm considering:
+1 Victini
+1 Dual Ball/Collector
Strategy:
Get Gardevoir out there to double all psychic energy with psychic mirage. Darmaxitan flips for 50 damage for every energy attached, so that's two chances for 50 with each psychic. Victini allows me to reflip if I don't do enough damage. Mewtwo definitely benefits from being able to x ball for just one psychic or DCE, and makes a good starter when powering up my bench.
