Empoleon MD vs Empoleon DP

If you're playing 4-2-4 empoleon, I'd recommend 3 DP 1 MD. The DP one is more sturdy but the MD one is more sniping. It really depends on what deck you're using in the first place.
I believe it depends on what kind of deck you are running. I believ if your meta is not using Dusknoir then MD is for you.
I've tried them both. MD is so much better than the DP one, sometimes I wish I didn't tech in the DP one. His second attack is even better than the DP's second one at times. Able to hit a hundred just for the 50% chance to do 10 each of your bench, seems worth it at most to get the ko(as long as you don't use it to much).
MD wins hands down.
MD is now better for quick attacking, whereas you have to tech in a DP one for late game, since in these stages you can't guarantee you have a full bench.
I'm going to run:
2 Piplup DP
1 Piplup MD (non-berry)
1 Piplup MD (berry)
2 Prinplup
2 Empoleon MD
1 Empoleon DP
1 Lv. X
2 Smeargle SW
2 Lapras GE

sounds good
When I'm playing Empoleon with the DP one as the tech. I will actually hold back playing the DP just to see if I can pick up a MD one. I don't even recommend teching in the DP one at all now.
The MD one does more damage then the DP one in every consivable situation late game. Its pointless to run the DP one.riskbreakers said:
^Yeah, the MD one does more damage till you run into a dusknoir, there goes your bench. I would rather use the DP one if I'm attacking but MD is far better at sniping. It really is up to your metagame and deck strategy.
^....Yeah, unless you do the math and realize 50+30>70.
