I have BRs comming up in about two weeks, and this is the first time I'm making a Steelix deck, so some suggestions and advice would be appreciated
Pokemon: 19
4 Onyx Energy Healer
4 Steelix Prime
2 Uxie LA
1 Uxie Lv X
2 Chansey PL
2 Blissey PL (Nurse Call)
4 Sableye
Supporter: 13
4 Engineers Adjustment
2 Professor Oaks New Theory
2 Bebe's Search
3 Judges
1 Pokemon Collector
1 Palmer's
Trainers: 11
2 Expert Belt
3 Switch
1 Luxury ball
1 Pokemon Communication
3 Life Herb
Stadium:
2 Broken Time Space
Energy: 15
4 Special Metal
4 Double Colorless
3 Call Energy
4 Metal
The basic strategy of the deck is to get Steelix out and ready to use Gaia crush by turn 3 (ideally speaking). Sableye helps to do tihs by impersonating for Engineers adjustment, which speeds up the deck immensly if you can use it turn one via Sableye. I prompted to use Chansey prime because of its discard ability. With all those Vilegar decks out there, depleting the hand is not such a bad idea. 2-1 Uxie line up is standard. I also included Judges for disruption becaus Steelix only needs a double colorless on him, and the rest of the energy can be provided to him through his Energy Stream attack, so the deck doesn't really need massive amounts of trainers to operate.
I opted not to run excessive amounts of moomoo milks or life herbs, as they seem to be unecessary and seem to iinterrupt with the flow of the deck.
I haven't actually tested the deck out against other people yet, but I've drawn a few hands, and on average, it takes about 4 turns to set up a steelix so that he can use gaia crush. I'm not sure if that is too much of a time for a set up because its all about speed nowadays...anyways, any input/advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
