EmpTe Land (Empoleon Terrakion Landorus)

[Kiari511]

I'm making some changes from my old list, let me know what y'all think of my changes

Current List:

4 Terrakion NVI
4--2-4 Empoleon DEX
2 Emolga

= 16 Pokemon

3 Plus Power
2 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
3 Catcher
4 Switch
1 Super Rod
2 Exp Share
4 Cheran
2 Juniper
2 Bianca
3 N

7 Water
7 Fighting

Proposed Changes:

-1 Terrakion
-1 Piplup
-1 Empoleon
-2 Ultra Ball
-1 Rare Candy
-1 Exp Share
-1 Cheran
-2 Bianca
-1 N

+1 Plus Power
+2 Emolga
+1 Catcher
+1 Super Rod
+3 Skyla
+2 Landorus ex
+1 Fighting Energy

Note: I'll only really be using Landorus for his first attack, generally.

So the new list would look like:

3 Terrakion NVI
3-2-3 Empoleon DEX
4 Emolga
2 Landorus ex

=17 Pokemon

4 Plus Power
3 Rare Candy
4 Catcher
4 Switch
2 Super Rod

3 Cheran
2 Juniper
3 Skyla
2 N

= 27 TSS

7 water
8 Fighting

=15 Energies

Sorry for the long post- Just wanted to see if this makes sense, so you know where I'm coming from. I've played the first deck since Dark Explorers came out. Also- I do not have access to a computer search, but I would like one :C

nice idea but you don't have any way to search out empoleons.

Good point, I playtested my new list earlier and did find that a Turn 2 Empoleon only happened about 50% of the time. So I have made the following changes:

-1 Plus Power
-1 Catcher

+2 Ultra Balls

But I think it still wouldn't be consistent enough... any ideas?

 

[breadingEggMaster]

you don't have enough draw power. you also got to many energies and i find plus power not necessary in this deck. what i suggest you is:
-2 terrakion
-1 emolga
-4 plus power
-2 switch
- 5 fight energy
- 4 water energy
-18 cards

and add:
+ 1 empoleon
+ 1 piplup
+ 3 ultra ball
+ 1 rare candy
+ 4 blend enegys
+ 2 energy switch
+ 1 Mew Ex
+ 1 cheren
+ 1 gold potion
+ 3 level ball

This way you have more draw power and can do surprise attacks with terrakion, mew EX and landorus

Alright, I can see not needing as many Terrakions, but I think I still need 2 just to make sure I'm not killed by Darkrais...
Mew is a good idea, I can definantely see using that as a good idea
However, I need my Plus Powers to make sure I can OHKO a bunch of things (believe me, more often than not they come in handy)
Switch should be decent enough at a lower number thanks to Skyla, alright
Excellent idea with the blends, that could save me some times
Lastly, I don't see how Level Balls will particularly help me- that's what Emolgas are for (or rare candies) so I might just max my ultra balls

Thank you for the advice, brought up some new info I wouldnt've thought of otherwise!

In this deck You want to start T1 with landorus and get a T2 empoleon, emolga is in case you don't get a landorus and a piuplup T1 so level ball is important here. You can also add heavy ball to get landorus and terrakion. Landorus is enough against any deck that got a fighting weakness. Terrakion is for that late game revenge kill and surprise attack.
You can also use ditto in this deck, with a blend in it they will never know what will come next, if an empoleon, terrakion, mew... it's great for surprise attacks

 

[TeGeTeGe]

i think that you dont need emolga
the idea of the deck is to start with landorus ex to t1 ohko deino or tynamo, instead of emolga you can add level balls

so -4 emolga
+1 landorus
+3 level ball

also you can abuse of the land's judgment attack to knock out other pokemons that are not figthing type, like any ex or stage 2 pokemons like blastoise or dusknoir

i'm running 2 exp share

Oh yeah, I guess since I have the Landorus I won't be needing Emolgas any more. Good ideas Thank you everyone, so far! I'll add an updated list of what I change later after I playtest
