Standard Colorless/Vikavolt

[Clutchdodgers]

Not really competitive but can get some wins. Simple concept Lugia and Tauros are two of the best Colorless attackers in the format. Why not Strong Charge them for lightning fast set ups. You sacrifice a turn or two but once you set up its instant battery power.

I have a deck sort of like this with Yveltal-EX instead of Lugia-EX/Tauros-GX and my deck is the weakest when I don't have a Vikavolt set up. These changes might help you get set up faster:

-1 Float Stone
-1 Ultra Ball
+1 Rare Candy
+1 Skyla

If Jolteon-EX is giving you trouble, you might want to add Pokemon Ranger to your deck.

I'll make those changes based your suggestions and try it out thank you for giving me feedback.

I've been playing around with Vikavolt too, and one thing I personally found was that I preferred using Forest of Giant Plants and going for Charjabug on turn one, then just straight evolving normally on the next turn. I don't know if it'll work for your list but it's worth trying because it feels easier to do for me (and an N after setting up your hand turn one is less detrimental).

Without trying to be too much of a Debbie Downer on this concept, I simply wonder why not just run a Magnezone acceleration engine at this point. It hits the field with equal speed, but sets up speed KOs faster due to its ability to let you just dump energy wherever you want it and as much as you can plunk down. Combining this will substantial letters / retrievals gets your Lugia up to "destroy everything" range as quickly as T2. Both this and Vikavolt are ability reliant, so Garb hurts both a lot. The difference is that you could tech in a couple copies of Raikou with Magnezone and blow everything up with a big basic.

I like the idea behind this though because you are basically gunning for an ability based Geomancy with cards that can take advantage of it. I just think if you get down to the practicality of it that Magnezone is just a lot more explosive while allowing you to draw into your energy rather than search it out specifically. Magnezone also allows you to single type your energy which helps if you have like 3 grass energy prized and still have all 6 lightning energy. Instead of getting 2 energy per turn, you are only grabbing one with Vikavolt.

Like I said, I am not trying to be a downer on the list. I think it has potential. I simply think it has more potential with a different stage 2

I understand. I actually scrapped the concept and I just decided to build a Solgaleo Lugia deck that is leaps and bounds better than this concept. And the main reason I didn't want to use Magnezone is because Vikavolt is from the deck. If I super rod or Brock's Grit and I have a vikavolt or two set up im good to go. Magnezone just needs hand support while I'd rather just pull them directly from the deck.
