dude my luck was the worst i ever seen for example went up against shiftry ex his First turn skill hack got glaceon lv x ko and fliped heads 20 to all bench, second turn skill hack pinplup ko baltoy on bench with brine, third turn skill hack again empolion MD surf togeather ko active, and i just couldnt come back from it by the time i did have a chance time ran out and if i had a few more turns i had him i just took to big a hit off the start to come back in time

instead of the vap you should have had an espeon (woulda saved you in 80% of your games) ...you should have tried it with bronzog instead of emp as well you should have went 3 wager and 3 warp point stevens instead of POV thats all i see

Good luck at the LCQ if your going
 
yeah shainnas deck works good pheonixback4fire noone minds you posting their ideas most of the time but since we never posted it and didn't plan on it, it would have been nice to give credit to who came up with it, i've seen people get flamed, threads get locked, and warnings and suspensions all starting with people posting other peoples ideas, i'm not mad or anything but i always have to go under your posts and take credit for my ideas when you do that

but hey the stage 2 with glaceon wasn't a good idea that's my concern, if you were basing it around glaceon i would have paired it with a stage 1 and if you were basing it around empo i would have used bronzong, or omastar somthing like that instead of glaceon

dont feel bad about the shiftry i heard the same story happening at last years nats, i mean the deck may be better this year but it's still a lucksack to get t1 candy, and it's a lucksac to even have pokemon to skill hack especially ones as nasty as those at the moment, you should have cosmic powered pokemon away but what can you do T1 except get dominated

better luck next time man
 
ummm I didnt know who came up with it first but i had plans for the deck sence b4 it came out and we all have the same card pool to figure it out when i built it i was thinking what would stop the plox decks in my area and thats why i chose to main 2 glacieon lv x it dont take a genius to look at these 2 cards and see that they work together
 
You should definitely consider Phione for this. As it is right now, your opening play appears to be running with whatever ended up in your hand, and that will not work effectively or consistently. You need a plan for how your opening is going to go.
 
when i get up in the morning ill post a update list of what i did to it when i got home from nats big changes the only reason i took out the candy for example was to make room for cessation crystal because b4 nats i was to understand that i would see lots of dug tech... yeah didnt see one lol dont ever edit b4 a big day lol
 
Okay, but you see, Cessation Crystal is immaterial when you can't get your evolutions in play fast enough. With Cessation, you can't use a Claydol to help that, but rely solely on draws and supporters to get what you need.
 
not using premier ball..? I think that's your major problem, you don't need a lot of bebe's search I think
 
You do need at least three, preferably four. Three Windstorm was too much because there was almost never a good time to use it unless you want to off your own Cessation Crystal. If you find yourself wanting to do that though, I don't think you should have played Cessation Crystal at all to begin with.
 
ok i promised id post this and i really did put it off no lie so here is what i was running before i chose to change before nats and what i went back to after nats

2 x glacieon lv x md
2 x glacieon (ice shot) md
1 x vaporeon md
4 x eevee (CFF) md
1 x empoleon lv x dp
3 x empoleon md
1 x prinplup dp
3 x piplup dp
1 x suicune sw
2 x claydol ge
2 x baltoy ge
4 x pov
4 x bebes search
4 x rare candy
3 x warp point
2 x stevens advice
2 X tgw
2 x copycat
2 x night maintenance
2 x roseannes reasearch
9 x water nrg
3 x dre
2 x scramble
 
I think the 3 Prinplup and 4 DRE is probably what went wrong along with no Rare Candy or Phione and not enough draw supporters, looking after comparing the lists.
 
i agree that the deck should have had the 4 rare candy and more acceleration so lets play a fun game for a moment put your self in my shoes ok. its the day before national the list furthest on the list is what you have built and you know that in the professor cup you hear that people are running lake boundry with electrivire and another reliable sorce tells you dugtrio is big how would you tech against these threats?
 
i know where you went wrong you tested plox all season ran it well and chose to run emp/glace a week prior to nats just because it started doing well against plox and then to make matters worse you changed that deck the day before because of hearsay
 
I think a problem you could have had is that POV is largely counter productive after you have a Claydol in play. I would gladly have ditched it altogether along with one Rare Candy and one DRE for 4 Call Energy and 2 Phione. Try that out and see what happens. You could also perhaps lose the Steven's Advice, but I suppose they could stay since they often do get you a heap of cards from the deck.
