Eeveemoonguss (Leafeon/Amoonguss)

A deck I've seen posted on the site I thought I'd try out.

Pokemon - 21
Virizion - 2 (NV)
Shaymin EX - 1 (ND)
Leafeon - 4-2 (UD/UD)
Espeon Prime - 2 (UD)
Amoonguss - 4-4 (ND/ND)
Torkoal - 2 (UL)

Trainers - 20

Junk Arm - 3
Level Ball - 3
Plus Power - 2
Pokemon Catcher - 4
Super Rod - 2
Super Scoop Up - 4
Switch - 2

Supporters - 11
Pokemon Collector - 3
Professor Oak's New Theory - 4
Sages Training - 2
Seeker - 2

Energy - 8
Grass Energy - 5
Rescue Energy - 3

The updated version of an old ailment deck. Strategy is to setup either a Leafeon or Espeon/Leafeon and evolve a Foongus into an Amoonguss to poison/confuse the opponent and allow Espeon or Leafeon to deal 100 damage with Miasma Wind. Torkoal has been added to allow for more damage and a possible KO of EXs. Shaymin EX is for late game. Virizion is the starter to help get cards to my hand.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Virizion is a solid starter and backup attacker, so you don't want to be getting rid of it for a piece of crap like Pinsir.
Might tech in a Flareon and some Rainbows to deal with MTC? Maybe a tech for ZekEels?
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

need more drawing supporters (self-explanatory) and a maxed out Junk arm(self explanatory). Try cutting a super scoop up and a catcher and virizion for some maybe.

Please explain why. ~Glaceon

I don't feel I need techs for those since I will be able to do 110 or more damage with Leafeon/Espeon after dropping an Amoonguss and it causes the opponent to retreat to get their pokemon healthy again.

What supporters do you have in mind? Also, I'd rather have the 4 SSU and 3 JA instead of the other way around.


Thank you both for your input
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

My friend actually ran this very deck at the first two States (not sure if he's going to the third), except there was one major difference: Vileplume. With Vileplume, you do not have to worry about Amoonguss being Catcher'd, nor is there the fear of a Switch being played and ruining your Sporprise.
Granted, with Miasma Wind you will be OHKOing a lot of things - Terrakion and Mewtwo EX will utterly crumble before you - but there are quite a few things - both Zekrom and a few other nasty threats - that will still be standing. Thus, the Vileplume is there to make sure they stay dead and ensure a 2HKO.

His list is...very interesting; it even enabled him to attack with Vileplume late-game if necessary (and on several occasions he did). I'm not going to suggest what to add and take away, but since this is Vileplume we're talking about, you will need to rely less on Items. He used Level Ball, Rare Candy, and Pokemon Communication as his only trainers.

By the way, Vileplume or not, I would highly suggest that you run at least 2 Seeker. This enables you to recycle Sporprise several times if need be. I can see why the SSU, but that's a bit flippy, isn't it?
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

That's why I run each. SSU is an item and it lets you scoop your active. But its real flippy, so run 2 Seeker 2 SSU or so.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Deus - I'd use Vileplume, but I never liked the style of the decks that use it.

Magnezone - I took out 1 SSU and a Collector for 2 Seeker. 3 Collectors are more than enough and having 5 ways (8 with JA) to pull back my Amoongus or Eeveelutions works out great
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

If there are any techs or combos that someone thinks of for the deck, let me know and I'll try it out
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Maybe another pokemon that causes special conditions would be nice. Like a pokemon that burns or causes it to be asleep. Amoongus isn't enough I think.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

I ran this sort of deck at Texas States. (I didn't do too well, but I very very recently just got into the game, so that may be why.) One thing I do suggest is to up your Leafeon to 3 and cut 1 Espeon. I also suggest making room for a final Amoongus. One problem I had with the deck was not having Amoongus when I needed it. (Another problem was losing on turn 1 to CMT. BIG FUN.) I'd also cut 1 super rod to make room for another pokemon communication or level ball. It just helps to power out Amoongus.

It is a really fun deck, however. Good luck with it!
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

The main addition I've seen is adding Houndoom Prime for its ability to inflict burns on a coin flip. I've also seen Hypno used in the same way to inflict Sleep but Burned stacks with Poison and Confusion where Sleep replaces one.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

I'd say torkoal is probably better for burn to preserve some of the speed of the deck.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Amoongus isn't? You need some sort of way to burn. Torkoal seems like it would be better because 2 Torkoal is much less of a liability than 1-1 Houndoom. (prize and catcher issues) It also doesn't hurt that it can be searched with level ball and has synergy with SSU/Seeker. I'd also add a few rescue energy because leafeon costs {C}
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

The advantage of Houndoom of course is that you can try for a burn every turn it is out on your bench while Torkoal is a one shot deal. If I'm filling a slot on my bench I'd rather it be with something I can reuse. Still the speed argument of Torkoal is a valid one. Sounds like this is an area where only testing can tell you which is the way to go.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

You can use ssu for that problem. Houndoom is also a stage one so it take more time to setup. I'd go with torkoal because you can always use seeker/ssu to reuse it and can easily be searched for.
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Added in Torkoal and swapped out a few cards to get the deck a little easier to run
 
RE: Eeveemoonguss

Please edit the title to include the main Pokémon in the deck.
