Flower Shop Lady: Search your discard pile for 3 Pokemon and 3 basic Energy cards. Show them to your opponent and shuffle them into your deck. Question: Can I use the effect of Flower Shop Lady if I don't have 3 Pokemon AND 3 basic Energy in my discard pile?

Electrode loves Twins and Black Belt. Maybe trade out Professor Oak's Visit?

Giratina is probably not your best bet (I'm assuming you're using the one with Let Loose.) This has been discussed in the past, and the problem is that it says "draws up to four cards. (You draw your cards first)" Since you draw your cards first, you have to guess at your opponent drawing the...

Needs Fisherman and Steelix Prime/Dialga to tank and retrieve energy., also, possibly Absol G for Doom News? Nifty idea, hope it works out for you!

Magnezone will be around once the rules change hits. It'll still hit like a truck, too. And it's an inexpensive deck that is a lot of fun to play.

Honestly? I'm not a fan of Machamp, especially without a Machoke to give effective consistency. We don't care about OHKOs on unevolved Pokemon, we already OHKO everything in our path except for Tyranitar, which would be the ONLY reason I would ever run Machamp. -1 Machop, -1 Machoke, +2...

Energy count feels really low to me. I understand that we have more attackers in this deck than a normal MagneRock, but 13 is really pushing it, in my opinion. I built Magnerock with fifteen energy to see how it would work out, and it still had problems.

Definitely stick with Nidorino RR, though. He's beast.

Also, a highly popular tech is the uncommon Relicanth SV, which has Grand Swell, doing 30 damage time the number of your opponent's in-play Pokemon tool and Stadium, and Amnesia, which does 30 damage and shuts off one of the Defending Pokemin's attacks for a turn. Some decks also run a 1-1-1...

Warp Point is better than Switch in this case. You force your opponent to make a decision, and you bring up what you need. On the subject of Nidoran, I have to say I prefer the Triumphant versions. Nidoran M can poison in early game, while Nidoran F grabs you any pokemon out of your top five...

Cut the Psychic Energy for two more Double Colorless and another Rescue. Rainbow Energy covers that base nicely, and you don't want to be attacking with more than one Nidoqueen, anyway.

Morten had his list posted on the 'Gym, then he took it down, and now it's back up with a good five pages of discussion. Here's the thread.

But Sableye doesn't give you a turn 2 'Zone. And if you read through the comments on that article, Spiritomb is constantly recommended over Sableye because it a) accelerates your evolution, and b) slows your opponent down Trainer-wise, which is key in the SP matchup. Also, most people use...

Ummm... there's no Sableye in Magnerock. And even if there were, I would only run two and two Spiritomb. You NEED the evolutionary boost Spiritomb gives. And you need 3-4 Engineers, because there's always a chance you'll need to empty your discard of Fighting Energy and then put one back in...

Bellossom UD, anyone? Hustle Step is a darn good Poke-Power. Also, everyone might want to consider rotation. If we go to HGSS on, we'd lose Nidoqueen, and Bellossom seems to be the logical replacement.

RE: Magnezone Prime decks Pachirisu is more of a spray risk than Regirock. You have a greater chance of dumping your hand quickly with multiple Pachi, whereas you can only use Regi Cycle once. Pachi is also a prime sniping target for Garchomp, while Regirock takes two hits to go down. @Azul...

I took MagneRock to States with a 1-1 Sandslash tech. It was good exactly two times in seven games. And I grabbed one energy each time. You'd be better off running Dodrio UD to lower retreat costs across the board, which is what I'm doing because I have no Unown Q.

-2 Uxie (3 = too many), -1 Professor Oak's New Theory + 3 Warp Energy

Not so. Copycat is dependent on your opponent, while PONT is always six cards. If Copycat is your only form of hand refresh, and your opponent has only two cards in hand, then that's a wasted Copycat unless you play Yanmega Prime. PONT is better, trust me. And against VileGar, the only person...

+1 Spiritomb AR, +1 Magnezone SF #6, +1 Azelf A fourth 'Tomb for consistency, Magnezone for Super Connectivity PokeBody, and Azelf to look at prizes and grab Pokemon.
