OK, so T1 you bust out a Blue Flare and discard two energies. Now what? Exactly. Without Typhlosion Prime or a Fisherman/Emboar combo, there's really no way to get back energies consistently.

So you would need a 4 Docs and 4 Dex engine with maybe Slowking's to prevent that happening. It's a nice idea, but definitely slower than ZPS in some ways while being much more viable. You would need to drop 2 Slugma to power the same amount as 1 Pachirisu does, but those energies can be found...

Actually, no, since Chandelure's ability allows you to use Metagross's Double Leg Hammer to greater effect. Oh, Wobbuffet. Forgot him.

^ You are epic, my friend. Slowking is horrible, just mindgames for Rogue decks and trolling. Great with other Troll cards such as Vanilluxe, Metagross UD, and more. I should make a troll deck someday.

Metagross is more useful for Psychic only decks that can bench hit (or use the bench spread) such as (was) Giratina X, but so far I've not seen a deck that can utilize it to its full potential. Oh, Chandelure. That one.

The truth is, I've always wanted to write this article ever since all the necessary cards came out (by HGSS Triumphant), but never found a place or time for it. Now that it's HGSS on, it lacks a +20 power by Expert Belt, but still by far the hardest hitting combo in the format, and ever created...

This should be freaking banned. Stage 2 EXs wouldn't even bust 170 usually, what the heck has TCG come to? I mean, 170? 170? 170? Really? More HP than Tyrannitar Prime? Really? More HP than all the LEGENDS? REALLY? REEEEAAAAAALLLLYYY?? Well, I suppose that after the dragons, TCG can do...

I would not speak too quickly, as the rest of the format would probably have support cards for this But so far, you're strategy is good. And this card is cheap.

Well, good luck with your idea then! Leak it out whenever you want, and I can help you critique it. Can you please name the rogue counter as well, so I can help you deal with it in some way? Maybe start another thread... TTarChamp wasn't just a counter solely to Sablock, mind you, Machamp...

Then in that case, everything started as theorymon. I'm talking legit theorymons, that ARE theories and not backed by solid experimental data. If you're willing to bet that your strat is NOT theorymon, then you need to show your deck off to other people and have it tested by more than one...

Let me tell you, theorymons almost never work. Or if they do, they never work as well as you want it to. Turtank was a theorymon, and it never gained much popularity outside occasional rogue BR play. Persian Lock was a theorymon, and although it does work it seriously leaves much to be wanted...

Well, I mean like running it like a Nidoqueen. I've seen Nidoqueen teched as a 1-1-1 line before, and it's perfectly OK. Serperior has even less retreat than Nidoqueen as well. Catcher might discourage it, but its a worthy try.

Serperior can retreat you know, it only has like 1 retreat cost and 130 HP. It's worth the shot.

Donphan seems really out of place, especially since if you want to use Heavy Impact, that's a straight 3 fighting. And if you use too much of EQ, you'd be compromising the HP of already-low 90 HP Stage 1s. My hint: Stick with Zorocinno. The lifeblood of a Stage 1 deck is speed, and running...

I like the fact that they have separate weaknesses, that makes it a lot easier to work with. Also, the promo Terrakion with Sacred Sword is also a viable option for hitting harder, although generally a stable 90 for 3 is pretty good. Did everyone forget about Serperior? A 1-1-1 line would...

Well, it would also depend on any future awards Nintendo might throw out for ambassadors. Companies like Nintendo are also stupidly known for rather rash freebies in some their rewards programs. I don't value the free games that much, I just want to avoid the risk of having Nintendo giving some...

Stall is a good word for what I'm aiming for. Diversity is another. The Spoink is more like a tech; it benefits Gothitelle in many ways. For example, say Gothitelle was injured and you wanted it to have some rest and heal. You can use Sleep Pearl and get the 50% stall so you can heal more...

Another option instead of Samurott is Floatzel. It has free retreat and can help itself setup with its PokePower. Golduck is another option, since it can heal itself and can utilize Ursaring's DCE to power it's move and 1-shot Donphan, the main threat to this deck. It does not auto-lose to...

I think the most overlooked and underrated status condition is Sleep. Sure, you think that it's a 50% curable condition like burn. But Sleep has some amazing attributes, such as: A. Not letting your opponent attack B. Not letting your opponent retreat C. Giving your opponent a chance to...

So, the question is, is an extra $80 worth it to becoming a Nintendo Ambassador? I reckon that they'll be giving AT LEAST $80 worth in free rewards and gifts, probably more. 20 free virtual console games would be about $80, however I don't think that's the last we've seen of the Nintendo...
