Why didn't I see nearly any thread with it. It is just GREAT. By putting it in a consistent spread deck, you can send your opponent's pokemon to the Lost Zone.

Something like:

2-2 Giratina Lv. X GC
1 - 0 - 1 Ampharos GC
2-2 Claydol GE
1-1 Manetric GC
(something to attach extra energys, so that you can Spread damage quickly)
 
You can spread also with:
Froslass, LA
Bronzong, MD/SF
Spiritomb, LA
Gallade 4, BET
Vaporeon, BET

That's as much as I've got.
 
^bronzong and yanmega are best as they don't need energy so you csn just start charging giratina... i would probably go with yanmega, just to make sure you can still deal damage to them each turn.

But a 10 base and 10 spread for Yanmega and a 10 spread for Bronzong wouldn't last you 4 turns to charge up Giratina Lv.X. A Kingdra deck would have won already before you even had a chance.

2-2 Giratina GC/Pt
2-1-2 Togekiss GE
2-2 Bronzong MD/SF
2-2 Gallade 4 Lv.X BET (Good for if Giratina is gone and you can't rely on Bronzong for heavy hitting)

Trainers that could be useful:
2 Rare Candy, for Togekiss
2 Snowpoint Temple, for Giratina Lv.X and Gallade 4 Lv.X
2 PlusPower, for when you need +10 base damage
2 Leftovers, for tank/spreading with Giratina Lv.X
4 Level Max, Is flippy but could get you T2 Giratina Lv.X ready for charging.
2 Technical Machine TS-2 for devolving those Stage 1/2 Pokémon after you've spread.
 
Do you think Giratina/Gengar/ Palkia G can work?

You snipe with Gengar and once Giratina is up, you do 30 to the bench.
 
You only have 3 bench slots then:
With Gengar on the field.
Palkia G Lv.X and Giratina Lv.X you'd have one slot left. It could work if you don't have Azelf or Claydol.
 
Actually I had a list, but I don't know if it would work.

4-2-4 Gengar
2-1 Giratina
2-2 Claydol
1-1 Palkia G

That's 19 Pokémon. I hear Unown G is good. 15 Psychic Energy seems good to me.
As for trainers:
4 Bebe's Search
3 Roseanne's Research
and
4 Handsome's Investigation
Are deck staples IMO.

2 Rare Candy
2 Snowpoint Temple
2 LevelMAX
1 Luxury Ball
2 PlusPower/2 Leftovers
4 PokéHealer+
2 PokéDrawer+
26 Trainers

26+19+15=60

Seems good to me =D
You're gonna have a hard time if any of your cards are Prized. That's why Azelf is good. Unless it's prized. . .
Then you're totally screwed.

Edit: After Bulbapedia-ing for Unown G
If you switch out cards.
-4 PokéHealer+
+2 Bertha's Kindness (BET) <Removes 5 D/C from an SP Pokémon. Supporter :/ better than waiting for two PokéHealer+
+2 Unown G (GE) Attach to a Pokémon as a tool and prevent effects of attacks, excluding damage. Good against Status Effect decks. Awesome coupled with Leftovers!
 
I never put Azelfs in my decks, they don't work for me. But I really like this deck list.
Thanks for the advice.:)
But I would probably do some of my trainers like this.

3 Rare Candy
2 Snow point Temple
2 Level Max
1 Luxury Ball
2 Miasma Valley
4 PokéDrawer+

That's all I can think of.

Miasma Valley increases your spreading. If they don't play Psychic or Grass Pokemon, that Pokemon gets 2 damage counters.

That card was in IFDS Shaymin deck. Never knew it's power though.
Premier Balls are better than LevelMAX. PBalls let you search your discard too!
What about healing. Giratina Lv.X 130HP > 150HP w/ Snowpoint Will take a beating. Bertha's Kindness is a supporter from BET that takes 5 D/C from an SP Pokémon. You could get twice as many as PokéHealer+s but they're only for SP Pokémon.

Why do you need 3 Candies for 1 line with Stage 2s?
You can PokéDrawer+ for it.
 
Because I have a 4-2-4 line of Gengar and I want to increase my chances of getting it on T2.
And I took some of those cards out because we won't have those by States championships.
 
When is states?

I made another deck list

22 Pokémon
4-2-4 Gengar
2-1 Giratina
2-2 Claydol
1-1 Palkia G
2 Azelf
1 Unown G

24 T/S/S
4 Bebe's Search
3 Roseanne's Research
4 Handsome's Investigation
2 Premier Balls
1 Luxury Ball
4 PokéDrawer+
2 Bertha's Kindness
2 Snowpoint Temple
2 Misma Valley

14 Psychic Energy

Wow we really did damage to this thread. It's like PMing each other but public =P
 
TELL me about it.

Back to the original argument, Yanmega is most likely the best choice in a Giratina LV.X deck to me. Two Yanmegas can easily last 4 turns which mean at least a 30 spread. You should also remember that Giratina itself can deal 50+ damage if the defending Pokemon gets too bothersome.
 
Giratina would definately be something to fear at States if they can get enough energy on it, but it is rather slow.
 
And thus why Yanmega is suggested; it is one of the best beginning stallers (also why NakiHatter was born).

I didn't like the idea of Gengar. I guess because Yanmega is a Stage 1 it don't think it's effective :/

You can always get around the problem you don't have to deal with it head on.

But Dragonite is a colourless type so Grass Energy would work on it. A 1-1-1 Sceptile line would make it faster Just read my Sceptile :/ Has to be a Grass Type. Is there a way of changing a Pokémon's type?

T2 Yanmega means a slower start but sufficient amount of stalling and damage to tank your Giratina. IT's not hard to get the second Yanmega out by T3-4.

No, but did I ever say I was going to use Yanmega's second attack?

Lol, I find Yanmega a good card to put in the deck, but I thought of Gengar first.:)
Would you run 3-3?
