Hi all! Trying to theory craft for DM Necrozma (probably like a lot of you), and I'm looking for feedback on the list.
What are your thoughts?
Pokémon [14]
3 Dusk Mane Necrozma GX
1 Solgaleo Prism Star
3-2-3 Magnezone
2 Tapu Lele
Trainers [36]
4 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
2 Choice Band
2 Float Stone
2 Field Blower
2 Professor’s Letter
1 Rescue Stretcher
4 Cynthia
2 Professor Sycamore
2 N
3 Guzma
2 Brigette
2 Skyla
1 Acerola
3 Mt Coronet
Energy [10]
10 Metal Energy
Basic Premise:
The idea of the deck is pretty simple--quickly charge up DMN's 220 attack for big OHKOs. Magnezone allows you to attach as many energy from your hand as you need per turn, to counter the issue of the attack's energy cost and discarding. After the first attack (or Ultra Balling a couple energies into the discard), Mt Coronet nets you 2 attaches per turn from the discard, while Professor's Letter can also fish them out of the deck.
Challenges:
Getting Magnezone into play on turn 2 is super important, otherwise the deck is just going to be too slow, which is the reason for the 4 candies and the Skyla. I'm worried that getting Magnezone out turn 2 is probably the biggest challenge of the deck.
Max Elixer is sort of the backup plan for this, and I have also considered Mew or baby Rayquaza (hey Nick?).
Other Considerations:
Maybe there is potential for a rogue 1-1 or 2-2 line of Ribombee, which lets you search your deck for 2 basic energies (per Ribombee)? I also like the idea of Bastiodon, but it just seems way too clunky. I am also thinking of tossing in some Order Pads--with luck, they could really help increase the consistency of turn 2 Magnezone, but I just don't know what I would cut.
Let me know your thoughts! <3
