Turn 2 Arcanine ex (Finally Deoxys-on!)

[Time for Pain]

if ludi is big in your area you could put in Giant Stump

 

[Lazykid]

is this deck even popular anymore???

 

[spoinkmaster]

Obviously not.

 

[David's Confused Pokedad]

Big in the 10 and under group in some areas.

 

[Sandslash7]

Ehh... talk about a 6 month bump...


It's not as much Lunarock/Mew ex anymore. Other cards have claimed their place.

It's not dead, just not very popular.

(plus you have to worry about people teching against Infernape)

 

[Time for Pain]

yeah if you want I could make it an arcadoom/arcylutions thread.

 

[David's Confused Pokedad]

That would be nice.

 

[Chromecatz]

Played rk9lutions at regionals and came 3rd.
but i prefer to call it ChromeCatz& GDawgzzzz

 

[Skarmbliss]

the biggest weakness this deck has is Latios ex D.

 

[Time for Pain]

^ exactly (although I did beat some LBS last year with it)

 

[Chromecatz]

Latios is a joke against Arcylutions

 

[therage]

the biggest weakness this deck has is Latios ex D.

smeargle d ftw

 

[Let Fire Fall]

Arcanine + Castaway + 3 Strength Charm is the way to go

T2 on Castform. I used to test that until I quit.

3 Houndour
1 Mew d (copy)
1 luvdisc (cg)
2 Holon's Magneton

Trainers: 29
4 marys Request
4 Prof. Elms TM
1 Celio's Network
2 High Pressure System

3 Castaway
2 Buffer Piece
2 Mysterious Shard
2 Copy Cat
3 Great Ball
2 Master Ball

Energy: 15
11 Fire

The Mew was a tech vs Infernape so I could copy Fire Blitz, but it ended up not being worth it, because I lost games recently starting with it. I should have added another luvdisc instead. Other than that it performs pretty well. High pressure system came in usefull alot of the time, so I could free retreat everyone except arcanine. Mysterious shard went well vs ex decks, they couldent windstorm it off when I had less pokemon. Bufferpiece pretty much gave arcanine at least 150hp after he healed 1x.

Good luck if you use this at Nats. Sad to see Arcanine go. I'm starting a new deck for the next format now. Stage 1's seem to be fading out now.

I just don't see how you can consistently get Arcanine out by turn 2 in this format....

You gotta go 2nd and draw a Castaway to get Elm....

Kinda risky.

This was a very good deck last year that could beat LBS consistently.

Swoop left and so is this deck, sadly
