Beartic/Vileplume/Reuniclus

[silver116]

Heres my take on beartic. I'm planning to use it at battle roads and it has been tested against various decks. Here it is:

Pokemon 26

3-3 Beartic
3-2-2 Vileplume
2-2-2 Reuniclus
3 Reshiram
4 Cleffa

Supporters 15

4 Pokémon Coll.
3 PONT
3 Prof. Juniper
3 Twins
2 Sages training

Trainers 9

4 Rare candy
4 Pokémon Comm.
1 Switch

Energy 10

6 Water
4 DCE

So basically the strategy is to start cleffa and to build a bench of Beartic, Reuniclus, and Vileplume by turn 2-3. I run four cleffa because I think that it's really important to get good hands in order to set up the bench faster. Same with collector, it gives me a full bench to work with. So once all that's set up I would lock with plume and lock the opponent in place with beartic. Also when beartic gets damage move it to reshi and abuse outrage. It's been tested against ZPS, Serperior, and MegaZone. It wins always against ZPS if you are able to set up. It is 50 & 50 against serperior and 75% against MegaZone. What's your opinion?

Curious do you have anything you'd like to possibly take out/put in? Given that I could really start to work something on this list. Let me just say I love this idea and I would have tried something similar if I got to play more but unfortunately I don't. Curious why you run 3 Reshi but no Zeks? Testing against Serperior why? Don't get me long testing against variety is great but unless your area is different most people don't touch Serperior. Your TSS line seems high and I know that may seem bold to say but the second you get your first plume up everything there is useless. Once I get some feedback I'd love to critique this list.

Thanks for responding! I would be willing to take out any cleffas and any trainers. Also I will replace the reshis with zeks.

-3 Reshis
+2 Zeks
+1 Reshi

I'm not going to tell you exactly what to take out but you should definitely start with cutting your down your trainer line. I assume you are trying to get a Vileplume set up asap and if thats the case then all your trainers shouldn't be necessary. Twins and Pichu could be your friend for setting up.

I would consider a split between Cleffa and Pichu, as they're both excellent starter for setting up. That way if you start with a way to get out one or the other, you have a few more options then eeeeeeking away some useful stuff. It also makes your matchup against Zekrom even more favorable because they get little to no use out of Playground. 2 Zekrom/1 Reshiram is definitely the play. Yanmega has no issues against Beartic, so Zekrom can help out, but if someone has some weird anti-Beartic steel type tech, Reshiram will do the trick.

The list looks great though! I don't know why I haven't thought to use Beartic with the google engine. Good luck!
