Crochomp (Fall BR Masters)

[deepcr0w]

So I've juiced up my former Dragon/Regigigas deck, and here it is:


Pokemon:
Gible x 4
Gabite x 2
Garchomp x 3
Garchomp Level X x 1

Uxie x 2
Uxie Level X x 1

Azelf x 1

Unown Q x 1

Chatot (MD) x 2

Zubat x 3
Golbat x 1
Crobat Prime x 2


Energies:
DCE x 4
Cyclone Energy x 2
Call Energy x 2
Basic Energy x 6

Trainers:
Rare Candy x 4
Bebe's Search x 4
Expert Belt x 3
TR Trickery x 2
Prof. Oaks New Theory x 2
Pokemon Collector x 2
Pokemon Communication x 2
Interviewer's Question
Cynthia's Feelings
Prof Oak Visit
Luxury Ball



So Crobat Prime is there to force switches/snipe.
Garchomp is the main attacker.
Everything else is kinda straight forward.

Any tips for trainers/ line up switches?

I believe you use the SV garchomp? If so, why use crobat to get your opponent to switch their active pokemon?
if you don't plan on using it as a attacker more than a tech then i would suggest you to take it out. And what basic energy are you playing, psychic?

As for your T/S/S line you should
Take out: -7
1 bebe's search (i think 4 is too much)
1 premier ball (you won't need the garchomp lv.X that much, so a search method for only it is unnecessary)
1 fisherman (you don't need energy recovery that bad)
1 underground expedition (there is better cards to put in)
1 poke radar (only 1 is inconsistence)
2 basic energy (you won't need 16 energy in this deck)

And put in: +7
2 professor oak's new theory (great hand refresh)
2 pokemon collector (to get basic pokemon)
1 Palmer's contribution (for recovery of pokemon and energy)
2 pokemon communication (to speed up your pokemon searching and setup)

These changes should help the consistence of the deck. And speed it up.

All your assumptions are correct, and I took your advice.
I quite like Crobat prime, but I'm unsure of a suitable replacement.
It served me well at the league, but it may not have the same effect at BR.

Any suggestions for a replacement?
I was thinking Donphan Prime, but then I think I would have to run an Manectric PL, and a Bench Shield or two.
Something to deal with High Energy decks, that Garchomp SV has troubles with.

If you don't want to run Crobat Prime then you can run a 2-1-2 Nidoqueen RR line which would give you the option to spam guard claw to keep your opponent behind on energy attachments.
