Trash energies in hand? Could play that new duskull I guess. Then having lillies would be OK even mid game as well. Or just play sightseer.

Don't worry, the secret deck (I mean, realistically I have around 20 weird item lock deck ideas, some with omastar, some with beheeyem, even a cryogonal idea) isn't going to worlds, or any other tournament, because I play almost exclusively online. So by the time I actually build the deck(s) it...

Secondary attacker? Depends on what seems to be the biggest need for the deck and whether you go psychic or fire. For psychic , If you need reliable setup, mesprit gets 3 pokemon on your bench, so maybe you don't need to run elm, meaning you can go full consistency with lillie and cynthia. Of...

I meant t&l as a pure draw supporter, the fact it's the only non item switch card next format is what I'm (I mean... my friend is) wondering about. I agree Lillie gets worse, but also agree Erika is probably the de facto replacement for a lot of people, even though it may take longer to fill...

Bit of a tall order, since you need to replace Pokemon search, energy acceleration, gusting, and damage mods. The new aegislash may be worth considering along with memory energy. That would also let you use spell tags and mysterious treasures (a spell tag on an initial honedge gives you 70...

Asking for a friend who likes making lock decks. If so, just a one of tech, or a full set? It's a pretty bad draw supporter, and everyone seems to be going max consistency, I'm just trying to gauge how worried people are about item lock and status conditions... for my friend of course...

Mr. Mime from detective pikachu lets you switch one of your prize cards with the top card of your deck. Combined with magcargo and an early poipole attack (to see face down prize cards) you could get that one card you really need, and get rid of something you don't (or put in jirachi prism if...

What about lance -> dragonite? That would get your second water attachment. Or naganadel/e-switch. But I would think the main problem is feraligatr works against itself every time you shuffle all the energy back into deck where you don't want it, slowing your march to delete your deck. I would...

Yeah, that's what I was worried about, losing your only chandelure. I definitely want to play this as soon as rotation happens on ptcgo... did you decide what cut for stamps? What about cynthia? Seems like she might fill your hand with the stuff you want in deck (pokemon and energy).

I did notice after a poor first attack, the second one was quite a bit better. Did you find in testing you could avoid having orphaned zards after a below average first attack? Assuming opponents played meta decks or close to?

Ok, I did a little testing on ptcgo in a roundabout way, replacing litwicks in your list with zangooses(zangeese?). I could pretty reliably get lampent/dusk stone in hand for (theoretical) turn two chandelure, but when I then used zangoose's attack, I often only hit 1 or 2, and it actually looks...

I love this archetype and think it definitely has potential, if the right cards are found to make it sing. How often does soul burner flop? Would be nice to know before I get to hyped, lol. Have you considered mysterious treasure and psychic litwicks and lampents? That would double your outs...

Litten only hits 60, which doesn't even set up a reshizard to be finished off by espurr. Some people play incineroar, but that's slow to get going. Espurr and zapdos both share a love of rope and guzma so there is good synergy. Plus zapdos has e-power to help against other one prizers, whereas...

I'm not sure why it took me about 50 tests to think of this, but Lt. Surge pushes this enticingly close to a viable archetype. The combination of mismagius, shuckle, dedenne, Lt. Surge and discard and draw supporters (I've switched back from elm to sightseer and ingo) just cuts through the deck...

If anyone happens to still be following this, what are your thoughts on energy spinner? I don't know if it will be different post rotation, but right now going second is pretty easy to do most of the time, and that could mean you 1 or even 2 of these and get an extra 6 energy in hand to be...

Everyone loses guzma, but some decks suffer more, this one possibly the most, if you are up against mew because espurr is your big hitter and mew stops it completely. I just threw together a ninetales version of the deck, and sadly realized there won't be a 60 hp salandit which hurts the synergy...

Omnipresence of mew combined with zero guzma is really bad. Relying on custom catcher to gust mews up is sketchy. You could build around a salazzle ninetales engine, since you don't need energy to attack, I suppose, but then you have 3 stage 1s and we lose ultra, great and timer ball. You also...

I've done a little more testing, and I have a very different version I'm working with, with mismagius instead of zebras, shuckles instead of honedges, and elm and fan club as supporters, with 2 dedenne GX for burst draw/discard with a disruptive GX attack. There are a million different ways to...

Acerola serves dual purposes, energy recovery and prize denial. Lack of gusting means a simple switch to the bench could save prizes. E switch won't work but tag switch will for moving energy to the next attacker. Great potion may often be enough to heal the damaged Pokemon out of easy 1 shot...
