Necro for Ancient Trait Medicham (Primal Clash, can attack twice). Thanks to the upcoming Regirock EX Machamp was too clunky, which is why I think the deck didn't do as well. It can be easy to get 2 of these out by Korrina to grab Regirock and a repeat ball for another Regirock. There's...

I really like the Latios idea. Though technically, any deck that uses free retreaters and psychic energy can do the same (Though Mew can hit for weakness). A few others. Rayquaza EX (with intensifying burn): 10 plus 50 more against EXes This could really shine in expanded with Silver Bangle...

Does standard XY on format have any cards like Leafeon (plasma freeze) that can do damage based on the TOTAL number of energy the opponent has?

And if they're using Fighting Fury Belt, you can promote Breakthrough Yveltal after Shaymin attacks and disable the belt.

Barbaracle – Water – HP100 Stage 1 – Evolves from Binacle Ability: Hand Block You can use this ability if you have a Stadium card in play. As long as this Pokemon is in play, your opponent can’t attach any Special Energy cards from his or her hand. [W][W][C] Claw Swipe: 70 damage. Weakness...

Gengar: Needs the right build (combined with bats) but if done right, you can take prizes out of nowhere. You just need 30 damage on them. Haunter: Not bad for an evolving stage 1. The confusion damage alone can be useful in setting up a ko with Gengar. Suicune (xy9): Unless I'm mistaken...

Anyone remember Jumpluff DRX? It's a 90HP stage 2 with a flippy attack and an ability that lets you return it and all cards attached to it to your hand. Well, with Forest of Giant Plants, you can return it and evolve it back on the same turn. The only problem is figuring out how to use this...

Actually, slashing strike does 80 so it will add up to 180 even without muscle band. And Servine has a neat ability. You can reuse this many times with Super Scoop Up, AZ, and Revitalizer.

Jynx is probably the best way to heal. I tried a similar deck with Seaking (Breakthrough) who has a similar attack and Jynx worked fairly well. The real issue trying to find consistent ways of damaging yourself.

Promo Jirachi can be good against NM. You won't do much damage, but you'll disrupt them significantly. Xerosic is also good (both options will hurt them).

The format is more friendly to evolutions than last. The break mechanic is neat, cards like Maxie and Archie, and things with decent pre-stages (the bats. frogadier). And they do a better job at making less filler cards that have no chance. But the increasing number of cards with effects that...

Plus power could be useful in Lugia decks though.

I've done pretty well with my Gengar/Crobat deck.

2 of the best cards in the last set, the fighting belt and max elixir, have came with a specific caveat that they only work on basic pokemon. We've seen something similar in the Black and White era with Eviolite, Prism Energy, and Skyarrow Bridge. In a format where evolutions were already...

I can't believe I forgot Night March. That's probably the best combo with this. It's also nice to finally have a splashable Psychic for Standard.

] Essentially, it's Mew EX with 50HP, but gives up one prize and can only copy your own basics. One of my favorite combos was using Mew EX with dimension valley and using another Pokemon's attack for one C energy less. For example, you can use Manectric EX Overrun for free and with one...

Actually, the Lucario can do 510. If you have no bench and an opponent has 8 (skyfield), that's 30+(60 x 8) = 510!

This is one of those decks that needs the right build to do well. Here's my list (TCGone). 4-4-4-2 Greninja: (2/2 split of Water Shuriken and Moonlight Slash Greninja) 3-3 Octillery 1 Shaymin EX 1 Miltank (powerful friends) 4 Wally 3 Birch 2 Sycamore 1 Lysander 1 Delinquent (To punish...

Looks good, but there are a few ways around it. Megas, shred type attacks (which this also has) and special conditions like sleep and paralysis. It's not foul proof, but it should at least cause trouble for big basic decks (which have been given an unnecessary boost with Max Elixer and...

M Audino: Pretty solid card (I assume it gets a spirit link). I think Ray is still the best colorless mega, but this can hit two pokemon at once and doesn't need skyfield. Diance EX: Not sure what to think about this. The ability is good, especially against spreaders, but it's attack isn't...
