So with pokemon X and Y coming out soon we are going to get fairy type pokemon. The support for the fairy type is already incredibly strong.

Xerneas here can provide energy acceleration and can act as a decent non-EX attacker.
Xerneas - Fairy - HP130
Basic Pokemon

[Y] Geo Control: Choose 2 of your Benched Pokemon. Search your deck for a [Y] Energy for each Pokemon you chose and attach the [Y] Energy to them. Shuffle your deck afterwards.
[Y][Y][C] Rainbow Lance: 100 damage. Discard a [Y] attached to this Pokemon.

Weakness: Metal (x2)
Resistance: Darkness (-20)
Retreat: 2

Xerneas EX is an ok attacker that can aim for the OHKO using Muscle band and Laserbank.
Xerneas-EX - Fairy - HP170
Basic Pokemon

[Y][C][C] Break Through: 60 damage. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.)

When Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Discuss how successful you think this deck will be!
 
RE: New Pokemon X / Y Fairy Deck?

Pre Xerneas promo: Cool deck, but probably not top tier.

Post Xerneas promo: Top tier definitely.

Xereneas is already a much better accelerator and attacker than Virizion, and it's a non EX. The only thing it doesn't have is the stasis protection, but that's where Slurpuff comes in. That's not even going into all the cool tricks you can pull off with Aromatisse (As Darkrai / Hydreigon has shown). Fairies have pretty much everything right now.
 
RE: New Pokemon X / Y Fairy Deck?

You switched Aromatisse and slurpuff around :p! This deck still lacks power. I know it can hit for 140, but that isn't enough. And when you have to setup all those pokemons, with that low hp, your gonna have a bad time.
 
RE: New Pokemon X / Y Fairy Deck?

^ It still two shots a lot of things. That 140 from X Blast puts a lot of big EXes within range of a snipe KO from Breakthrough. Setting up stage 1s isn't too hard. Catcher being nerfed to a flip should take the sting out of the low HP.
 
Klinklang like deck

Does a Klinklang like deck become more viable with the release of Rainbow energy and Aromatisse?


Aromatisse - Fairy - HP90
Stage 1 - Evolves from Spritzee

Ability: Fairy Trans
As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a [Y] Energy attached to 1 of your Pokemon to another 1 of your Pokemon.

[Y][Y][C] Fairy Wind: 60 damage.

Weakness: Metal (x2)
Resistance: Darkness (-20)
Retreat: 2

RE: Klinklang

I think it's an option, but the issue is you wouldn't be able to move the prism to any evolved pokemon or it stops working and you'd get big consistency issues havering two different basic pokemon for your engine to work.

I can't see your point? You wouldn't use any other evolutions then aromatisse. You would just put in cards like Plasma Kyurem, Cresselia, Terrakion EX, etc.
 
RE: Klinklang

Yeah I misread the OP i thought it said in a Klingklang deck not "Like" a klingklang deck :p guess thats what I get for commenting at 4 am in the morning :p.
 
RE: Klinklang

No it doesn't. Klinklang worked in the past because you had the best of both worlds in one Pokémon line, where PlasmaKlang brought protection and Shift Gear Klang brought Energy movement. You just had to have a few Klink on the Bench and set up, and you were golden. The fact that you need at minimum a 2-2 line for consistency is not very good, especially when you're only limited to Rainbow Energy movement.
 
RE: Klinklang

You mean KlingKlang style with deck Aromatisse taking the place of Klang? I actually thought of a similar idea with Thundurus EX for acceleration. I have a list (called Rainbow Fairies lol), but it's just a rough draft. You can use any 2 or 3 energy attackers that can hit for big damage. There actually are quite a few options.

>Dark has Darkrai, Yveltal, Yveltal EX, and Absol.
>Steel has Cobalion, Cobalion EX, and Skarmory EX.
>Psychic has Mewtwo EX and Mew EX (that can copy any other attack with ease).
>Grass has Genesect EX and maybe Genesect (jet impact) and Tropius.
>Fire has Entei EX and Reshiram.
>Water has Keldeo EX, Kyurem (PLF), and possibly Keldeo (Hydro Pump).
>Fighting has Terrakion, Terrakion EX, Landorus EX, and even Groudon EX.
>Lightning has Zekrom.
>Dragon has Rayquaza (DRV), Giratina EX, and if you really want to, Latias and Latios EX. (Latias isn't that best attacker, but it has built in protection).
>Fairy has Xerneas (promo)
 
RE: Klinklang

As for the similarities with Klinklang, I think they end with with the Black&White Klinklang which is no more. What made Klinklang really good was Plasma Klinklang protecting the entire deck from EX's. Depending on the Fairy Pokemon that are going to be in the X&Y set, we could see a Darkrai / Hydreigon style deck that moves Energy around and can abuse Max Potion, but Darkrai did have a form of Energy acceleration that made it work. Klinklang didn't have acceleration, but it had protection from EX's and could afford manually powering up attackers.
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

I think he's referring to the OLD klinklang. The deck that won nats... 2 years ago now I think? With Rainbow energy back in the format, there's the potential for this deck to be almost exactly that with a far easier to set up engine. All of Klinklang's attackers are still around, we have Keldeo now, and Thundurus EX for energy accel, Virizion for status protection, and way more EX attackers than the onld Klinklang had, the deck is just even better. With 8 energy of any type to throw around, plus fairy energies for those colorless requirements, it's just a way better version of the Klinklang.
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

Actually Aromatisse kind of sucks, it's better to just run Rainbow/Prism with some Fairy Energy and Virizion in there. Also, Xerneas EX is now really good, T2 140, and being able to snipe is huge, and when you bring muscle band into the picture, you've got yourself some strong attackers. Victini-EX is still good for this deck too, with steel types potentially coming back, Victini can kill them, with Rainbow/Prism and Slurpuff support you just swing around and hit for 100+.

This deck is really good, but I know of 1 thing that can stop it ;).
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

Xerneas EX isn't too bad, it's like Darkrai. I can see this deck being played. Xerneas's attacks give perfect math for 170 hp EXs to be sniped out after an X Blast then Break Through. Good acceleration, decent damage output, and defensive capabilities.

I agree with you on the virizion part. But steel potentially making a comeback? Maybe Aegislash / Keldeo, but you aren't going to OHKO anything in that deck with Victini anyway. Victini could help you out against Virizion / Genesect. And playing Victory Piece in this deck wouldn't be to bad since you might lose 3 energies because of Victinis low HP. Also that counter thing... Garbo, Enhanced hammer / sableye, sigilyph, Suicune, catcher (which is why I would rather use Hydregion).

Muscle Band makes it even better, you can hit those pesky 180HP EXs too.
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

I think Xerneas could be good and this deck will be good anyway:

3x Xerneas
3x Xerneas-EX
2-2 Aromatisse
1x Virizion-EX
1x Mr. Mime
1x Spiritomb (prevent Ace Specs)
1x Lugia-EX

We can use Mr. Mime to move the energys and protect the bench, so we can start attacking t2/3 if starting first, with Xerneas-EX and spread some damage for the KO´s, Max Potion is essencial to save prizes doing the same as Hydreigon/Darkrai, this is my opinion about this.Virizion is better than Slurpuff so with some Prisme Energys we can prevent the same and saving space anyway, even Virizion with Muscle Band can do 140 to Keldeo-EX.
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

Keldeo EX is not meant to attack. It sits on the bench with Float Stone and allows both Xerneas to retreat. This enables the deck to use X-Blast each turn. Run Laser / Virbank to OHKO most Pokémon Ex and include Muscle Band to handle Pokémon with more than HP 170. Virizion EX is an option if the deck can fit in 3-4 Prism Energy. Had troubles do so in my version of the deck.
 
RE: New X / Y Fairy Deck?

it seems like a lot of stuff to setup but it can be done. Top Tier maybe, more likely 2nd Tier deck.

Have to agree here. There are some faster decks that are less effected by energies lost due to being knocked out. I thought about Exp. Share in Fairies decks but not entire sure how the card works. If it stays attached even after catching a Basic Energy use it on your bench warmers without tools attached to them to maintain momentum. did not test this idea but it was all that I was able to come up with to ensure that the deck does not fall apart when loosing a Xerneas EX turn 2-3.
