BW- on Rayquaza EX

PM me, I love to chat.

It should be pretty straightforward, I'm going with a simple list to get it as consistent as possible.

Pokemon:13
3 rayquaza EX
2 reg. rayquaza
4-4 Eelectric (30 HP tynamo, tyrogue and mewtwo would donk both anyways)

T/S/S: 33
4 ultra ball
3 level ball
3 N
2 Revive
2 Super rod
2 Cheren
2 Bianca
2 eviolite
2 Skyarrow
2 switch
3 pokemon catcher
3 tool scrapper
3 juniper

Energy: 14
3 Fire{R}
9 Electric{L}
2 Prism
PHP: 
Rayquaza – Dragon – HP120
Basic Pokemon

[L] Dragon Pulse: 40 damage. Discard the top 2 cards from your deck.
[R][L][C] Tear Up: 90 damage. This attack’s damage isn’t affected by any effects on the Defending Pokemon.

Weakness: Dragon (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 3

PHP: 
Rayquaza-EX – Dragon – HP170
Basic Pokemon

[C] Heaven’s Call: Discard the top 3 cards from your deck, and if there are any Energy cards, attach them to this Pokemon.
[R][L] Dragon Burst: 60x damage. Discard either all Fire Energy or Lightning Energy cards attached to this Pokemon. This attack does 60 damage times the number of Energy discarded in this way.

When Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Weakness: Dragon (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

PHP: 
Play Fast Ticket when determining the order of attack at the start of the game. If you play Fast Ticket, you go first.

If both players play Fast Ticket, determine who goes first by playing a game of "Rock-Paper-Scissors." The winner goes first.
 
My response to this is: EXes. They have so much HP. Think about a Zekrom Ex With Large cloak on it, you have to burn 4 Energy to OHKO it. You want something to boost it's damage without having to set up so many eels on the bench. If you want to be consistent, then your bench will be: 4 Eelektriks, 1 Rayquaza EX, with a Rayquaza EX active. I reccomend altaria for this. The deck suffers from Garbodor once you put in altaria, so put in a raikou EX. Put in a forth Rayquaza Aswelll




Large Cloak - Item

Pokemon Tool: Attach a Pokemon Tool to one of your Pokemon to use it. You can only attach 1 card to 1 Pokemon, and it remains attached.

The maximum HP of the Pokemon this card is attached to increases by 20.

You can use any number of Trainer cards during your turn.

Altaria - Dragon - HP70
Stage 1 - Evolves from Swablu

Ability: Battle Song
As long as this Pokemon is in play, your Dragon-type Pokemon's attacks do an additional 20 damage to any Active Pokemon.

[W][M][C] Glide: 40 damage.

Weakness: Dragon (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

Overall changes should be as follows:
- 1 Super Rod
-2-2-2 Salamence
-4 Bad team jimu and sabu
-1 Ultra Ball (Having four means discarding alot of cards)
-12

+2-2 altaria
+1 Rayquaza EX
+1 Raikou Ex
+2 Juniper
+2 Catcher
+ 1 Bianca
+ 1 Cheren

Your list is good, I will use my changes to Yours to improve mine. :)
 
According to your logic, to knock out a zekrom EX with a large cloak, I'd need 4 eels right, true.
But now I'd need 3 eels and an altaria, which is just as much setup, but less consistent, so no thanks, I'll stick with the eels.

I do think I should add catchers and tool scrappers for garbodor.

a 4th rayquaza isn't usefull, so is raikou EX, it'd make the deck less consistent. I wont even be able to use 4 rayquaza's. Raikou Ex just to counter carbodor, I do think tool scrapper is a better one at that.

you Do realise you're advising me to get rid of ultra ball (only way to get my attacker) because it discards, but you're telling me to get junipers. Sarcasm much?

These will be my changes:

- 2-2-2 Salamence
-4 bad team

+3 catcher
+2 tool scrapper
+3 fast ticket
+2 juniper
 
Not to be Mean, but I wanted you to add in Juniper so that You could get supporters quicker. But I guess You could put in random Reciever. I suggest adding in the last Rayquaza, because now you have 3 Cards you are meant to attack with. 3. 3. 3. add in the last Rayquaza, it helps with consistentsy.
 
And I did add juniper, I just think your argument for the ultra balls ws invalid.

What do I remove for rayquaza without making it less consistent.
 
If you aren't going to use 4 fast tickets, I wouldn't use any. Also, I think you should add in the non-ex Rayquaza, It's the only non-ex basic Pokemon that can one-hit any dragon Pokemon. Also it can one hit Sigilyph, which your deck would have a hard time against without Rayquaza. If you don't put in the non-ex Rayquaza, than at least put in a single NV Eelektross, which will help against Sigilyph. I don't see the need for Eviolite, Rayquaza and Rayquaza ex both one hit you, and other than that, everything will two hit you even with the help of Eviolite. You also have WAY to many revives and super rods. I personally would only play 1 revive and 1 super rod at max. also, tyrogue can't one hit the 40 hp Tynamo, Tyrogue's attack isn't affected by weakness or resistance. Changes that I would make:

- 3 Eviolite
- 1 revives
- 1 super rod
- 2 30HP Tynamo

+ 2 Raquaza
+ 2 40 HP Tynamo
+ 1 Juniper
+ 1 fast ticket
+ 1 tool scrapper

Rayquaza - Dragon - HP120
Basic Pokemon

[L] Dragon Pulse: 40 damage. Discard the top 2 cards from your deck.
[R][L][C] Tear Up: 90 damage. This attack's damage isn't affected by any effects on the Defending Pokemon.

Weakness: Dragon (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 3
 
any pokemon doing 90 damage will 2 hit me without eviolite, it's also not unlikeley my opponent has pluspowers, so I'll drop 1 eviolite and 3 fast ticket for 2 rayquaza 1 juniper and a tool scrapper
 
Definitely needs raikou EX, and I don't see the purpose of prism energy here. either go all prism or all fire, not half and half.
Or, you could throw in a few of the new blend energy instead of 1 or 2 lightning energy, and add 1-2 milotic.
 
Blend energy lets you use milotic, an awesome searching card that lets you get any 3 cards you want from your deck. at current, prism energy only provides fire energy, and can't be recovered from the discard pile as fire energy can. Raikou is needed because Garbodor rips eels apart, but if you can KO one with raikou, you can restart your rayquaza spree to make sure they don't get another one.
 
Red blastoise can you send the cards? i pay you two weeks ago for a registered letter and nothing, are you trying to scam me?
