[arno]

So I just updated deck plan B, And here it is, ''Deck Plan B update 1.

Pokémon 16:

• 2 M Latios EX
• 3 Latios EX
• 1 M Gallade EX
• 1 Gallade EX
• 2 Hoopa EX
• 1 Palkia PR
• 1 Latios PR
• 1 Latias PR
• 2 Regice AOR
• 1 Whiscash PRC
• 1 Barboach PRC

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums 30:

• 3 Brigette
• 4 Skyla
• 3 Tierno
• 2 Lysandre
• 3 Professor's Letter
• 3 Switch
• 2 Escape Rope
• 2 Hard Charm
• 1 Float Stone
• 1 Gallade Spirit Link
• 1 Latios Spirit Link
• 1 Parallel City
• 1 Shrine of Memories
• 1 Rough Seas
• 1 Paint Roller
• 1 Professors Birch Observations

Energy 14:

• 6 Psychic Energy
• 4 Water Energy
• 4 Double Dragon Energy

Strategy:

I am trying to make a good deck with Latios, regice and gallade in it

The early game with latios-Ex with fast raid on the first player turn comes handy for making an quick knockout.

The mega evolution of Latios-Ex can target any pokemon that is in play, but at cost of two energy. It also has no retreat cost (Mostly choosen as a back-up if I need to knockout a strong opponent pokemon that is in the players bench)

When 3 psychic are attached to gallade I can do many damage in Early-Mid game, but After Getting more then 3 cards I mostly want to evolve it to Mega gallade.
I also Evolve to mega gallade when some of the opponent's pokemon are already damaged to do 30 more damage on them ( If they have no damage I can't damage them)

The hoopa's-Ex ability is that it can Draw 3 pokemon Ex'es Into your hand when placed onto your bench
The negative thing is that It would be an easy target for Lysandre's of the opponent

The basic latios and latias are mostly summoned with one brigette card. When latios is active while latias is benched, Latios could do then 120 damage instead of its 70 damage

When palkia has 2 water and one normal energy it is able to attack with 80 damage and it causes the opponent not beign able to put any energy to the active pokemon.

When regice has 1 water and two normal it attacks with 70 damage and causes the opponent not do do any attack (inclu damage) with its pokemon Ex,es during his turn to regice.

When barboach has been evolved to whiscash I could do the attack amnesia that does 20 damage and causes the opponents pokemon to not beign able to do one of its attack that turn (I can choose which attack)

This text could have grammar errors :/, sorry if is.

Add and removed list:

Update 1:
+ Added 2 more Latios Ex
+ Added 1 more Latios Ex M
+ Added Item card paint roller
+ Added Stadium card rough seas
+ Added Stadium card Shrine of Memories
+ Added Supporter card Professors Birch Observatorion

Please actually post a deck list in thread next time so that other users don't have to navigate away from the forums to see your list and give feedback. You'll get a lot more responses that way. I went ahead and added the list to your thread as an example. Now on to some constructive criticism.

You have a lot of one-of Pokémon, and generally what you want to do in this game is streamline your deck so that it does what it's supposed to do consistently. For example, if you want to Item lock with Seismitoad EX, you should play four of them with four Double Colorless so that you can find it early in the game when you're setting up and hopefully attack with it turn one. It basically boils down to you should be playing more copies of the cards that synergize with the deck's main strategy, which may sound obvious, but a lot of times, players can get distracted by playing too many one-of's.

Another thing that needs an overhaul is your Trainers. A staple in almost every deck is Professor Sycamore and VS Seeker, and you should definitely look to acquire four of each. This is what most competitive players use for draw power (alongside Shaymin EX), and without them, you'll most likely be left in the dust by players who can go through more than half of their deck turn one if they wanted to.

Ahh, sorry for that. Will remember it for next times.

But hey, you gave me some really nice advice.

I should add more pokemons of the same kind instead of one-pokemon

skymore's and some vs seekers should give me much more draw-power


thanks for the advice, and for adding the list on the thread

And again sorry for the ''thinking-error ''

Almost all the cards in this deck should go with the main Strategy in some way. Let's say it is the mega Gallade. You want to have cards that spread damage around the board and knock out the certain Pokemon on the bench. With Porygon-Z, maybe you want something to sit on the bench when you keep de-evolving them (if it is the AT). The Great Balls that are in the deck are kind of inconsistent so rather, Ultra Ball to get the definite Pokemon and get the one you want. Like @Mora stated, there are also way too many 1 ofs. almost every deck has one ofs, especially with shaymin, but this deck needs to have core cards and the whole deck is based on. For ex: Maxie/Archie decks normally run lots of 4 ofs and the strategy is too get the hand size down to 1 card.

So I just have played with the deck in the league and,

It was nice to battle with the old ''Plan B''
But as Mora said It hadn't enough draw power, and it had to much different pokemon

So after the league I knew what could be changed (not everything, but most)
And so I Updated this deck.

I increased the draw-power slightly
Replaced some pokemons so that I have more then one of them
Added some more stadium cards and a paint roller (Many players used stadium cards)

I also focus my self more on Latios/Regice and Gallade In an pokemon battle, these three are my main pokemon.

In the list above you will find what I have exactly changed with the older deck ''Plan B''


Also I am still thinking about adding double colorless energy's ,Professor skymore's and and vs-seekers
I am also still waiting to obtain these cards.


Thanks for the advice Mora and awesomeMSG for ''Plan B .

So what do you all find about this update to my deck ''Plan B update 1'' people ?

Ofcourse any advice to this new deck is welcome
