Cynthia’s Garchomp ex and More from “Heat Wave Arena” Revealed!

The tool boost means no Powerglass can help Cynthia's Garchomp...

...but can a small line of the Generations Start Deck Blaziken ex help? I mean, if Charizard can team up with Dragapult as stage 2s in same deck, why can't said Blaziken ex team up with Cynthia's Garchomp in same deck too? But wait a second... Too much basics to fit in the bench for a spare Garchomp after 3 or 4 Cynthia Roserades are set? How can that fit within 5 bench spots?

^ The answer? Terapagos ex and Area Zero Underdepths for 3 more spots!

Now that combo would be truly game-changing to the point where one will be confident that it will last all the way until the end of its life in a similar way to Zoroark GX in the S&M era: the dominator until its rotation 2 or 3 seasons after!

At that point, you might as well play Mamoswine with Grand Tree.

Pult/Zard can exist because Drakloak's Recon Directive is pretty busted, and Pult/Zard shares 1 energy type (Fire) to attack, with the latter able to accelerate to itself AND power up a backline Dragapult.

Gabite's Champion Call, while powerful in it's designed archetype, does not help you find Blazikens nor ways to get Blazikens.
 
I agree it's good but do you really think you have room for Cynthia's Garchomp, Tera Garchomp, and Roserade? That seems like a lot. It would be one thing if the Garchomps could evolve from the same Gible but they can't. Still I think this is shaping up to be a really good deck and so happy I was really wanting this to be good. I love Garchomp.
I think if you run Tera Garchomp you kinda have to cut Roserade out. Which would be an insane waste, but if you REALLY like Garchomp I think it's a valid option. You'd be playing some sort of a hit-and-run style deck by switching the two Garchomps and probably finish a KO with Spiritomb sometimes.

If you want a full Cynthia deck, then I agree with others in this thread, Crispin should be good enough.
 
One in top 8, two more in top 16. I think their point is SV9 trainers aren't that bad after all, as Tera Box and N turned out to be pretty decent (I still think N wants a Zekrom that does everything Miraidon ex does for lightning).
to clarify, i meant 1 card in the set not 1 appearance in the brackets. responding to a post rebutting a broad and by no means literal claim i made that they did a poor job with battle partners relative to what we've already seen of heat wave arena by citing a single card from battle partners doing well.
