Strategy: Against most decks, get out Gengar Prime quickly and use his first attack, putting opponent's Pokemon into the lost zone, then when I've removed 6, place Lost World down. Spiritomb, Judge, and Seeker all help get Pokemon into their hand. Smeargle, Azelf, Unown Q, and Uxie are all support. Absol Prime helps early game, then when combined with Gengar Prime's Pokebody helps get more Pokemon into the Lost Zone, especially when none of my Spiritomb, etc. are available. Against other decks, like Gyarados, which can discard its Pokemon, and mirror match-up, I spread using Absol Prime's Pokebody and Gengar Prime's second attack, then Gengar LV. X's attack. With Gengar Prime's Pokebody, the spreading can still help towards winning with Lost Zone, but it is helpful against some decks where it is just not an option. Metagross' Pokebody is extremely useful, as it makes Pixies go down after two damage from Droplets or Absol Prime and a Compound, and Magikarp die directly from Absol or Droplets. TM Devoluter helps immensely against Gyarados, but is altogether useless against SP's, so I only run one. It can also be helpful against other decks, like any decks that run Rare Candy(I can Devolute one turn, then next turn Hurl into Darkness the Devoluted Pokemon if it was originally Rare Candied). Level Down can also be useful as disruption against any decks that run LV. X's, like activating my Pokebodies against Dialga G LV. X, decreasing damage output against Blaziken FB LV. X, disrupting setup against Uxie LV. X, and preventing 1HKO's against Absol G LV. X.

Pokemunkulys said:Deck building should be a discussion. What use is posting decks when all I'm planning on doing is either flatly ignoring or blindly following your advice? When I argue with your suggestions, it isn't because I disagree with them, but because the best way to optimize decks is to work together to find the best solutions we can find for the problem we have at hand. This is why the Forum model works so great for this type of thing.
