Giratina Lv. X

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

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?
No, but did I ever say I was going to use Yanmega's second attack?
Why are you the MadHatter. Some one posted a 1-1-1 Sceptile line on Gym.
I thought it would work for Dragonite. Because the Grass Energy would count as colourless. It would make him need 1/2 as much energy. But Sceptile's effect says it needs to be a Grass Pokémon.
 
But then Sceptile isn't really big in that deck, figuring all you will do is spread with Yanmega.
And Dragonite is flippy.
 
I'm not even on the Gym at all. =D

Anyway, I'm just saying that the point of NakiHatter was that Yanmega's spreading capabilities is fast enough to hold Dragonites. Why wouldn't the same go for a Giratina Lv.X?
 
Yanmega is more than likely the best starter for this kind of deck for reasons mentioned above. Yanmega can give out an early spread, and if you hit 10 or 40, you can hit just the right number for a KO on 130HP Pokemon. Yanmega is also quick and needs zero energy to attack, which allows Giratina to get its required four energy.

On another note, what Basic Giratina would you run? Personally, I'd run the LA one, because with spread from Yanmega, you can deal a good amount of damage tp the Active. Also, with a one-time 30 spread and 2 Yanmega spreads, anything with 160HP or less can die from Brutal Edge.

Anyway, I'd run a 4-3 line to maximize that chance of a Yanma start. You can run 4 Yanmega if you want, but 3 is acceptable if you need an extra space.
 
So a 4-4 Yanmega is decent at spreading and disrupting (I never knew the free attack's effect).
Talking about the deck. What is the Omastar and Spiritomb line for? Spiritomb is for spreading but you'll need the Energy for Dragonite.
 
Omastar is so you can devolve their entire Bench. This allows you to kill of their Bench a turn or two quicker than normal.

Spiritomb is there because when you play it down, anything with damage already on it takes yet another 10 damage. 10 damage can be game-breaking. You don't attack with Spiritomb, by the way. Cresselia Lv. X can do the same thing, except it can do that through a Power.
 
Agreed, but don't use more than 1 Spiritomb. It gets annoying having two on your bench.
 
I think we all agreed on Giratina GC/Pt because it can do 60 damage for [P,C,C] but the 10 more damage for each damage counter on the defending Pokémon is mighty convincing.
So 2 Giratina 1 LA/1 GC and 2 Giratina Lv.X. Or maybe 3 Giratina 1 LA/1 IFDS/1 GC and 1 Giratina Lv.X.

You can use Palkia G Lv.X for that.

I only saw one GC Giratina, and it only did 60 for 3. No other effects.

I'd run a 2-2 line of Giratina.

Yeah. It's consistent to the deck.

I have now made a deck list. Gather round children as I tell you a tale. I don't need to post a strategy because we all know.

26 Pokémon
2-2 Giratina GC
2-1 Palkia G Lv.X
4-4 Yanmega
1-1-1 Omastar
2-2 Claydol
2 Azelf
2 Unown G

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

8 Psychic Energy

Eight is double we need but it leaves room for some to be Prized, and we can still play the game.

2 PokéHealer+ can be switched out for more Energy, tbh.

You can use Palkia G Lv.X for that.
And sacrifice another Pokemon along with the two Spiritombs? No way.
 
Giratina Lv X is possibly the most powerful card printed in DP-On (besides Gallade and Gardevoir). There are numerous ways to power up it's attack cost without using Poke-Powers (I'm not going to mention any, since I want to run this deck for States) which would be stopped by Power Spray, and once you do you have a 130 HP (150 with Snowpoint... Run Miasma Valley instead) beast which takes 4 turns to basically win the match... with hand disruption.

I'd use the Giratina with the both players shuffle hand into deck draw 4 Poke-Power. It can hurt decks that don't use Claydol (like G decks).

G&G is format locked. It will lose in the current format.

We haven't mentioned using PokéPowers to power Giratina.
There isn't a Giratina card with a PokéPower that let's both players shuffle their hands into their decks and let you draw 4 cards.

Have you even read any post in this thread because that post was so random and didn't touch upon anything mentioned in this thread.
 
I didn't say GG would do well in the current format. It does horribly.

EDIT: It doesn't touch upon anything SPECIFIC, but hey, I just want to give my opinion on the card this thread is bout. Sorry if it was a little OT.

Actually, there is.

EDIT2: ROFL, he gave me a negative spelling and grammar point for that post.

The thread is about a spread deck idea so you are way off.[/quote]

You said they were the most powerful cards in the DP-on Format

What set then. Don't just say there is and nothing else.

And? It was random and it took time for me to understand.

Let's leave it at that for here. I don't want to get a bad rep for being of topic.

Back in the room:
Would a Bronzong line, Maybe 1-1/2-2, be helpful to a Giratina deck or would it be more trouble than help?
 
The Giratina is in the Dialga / Giratina starter deck that the electro Magnezone and the SF17 Dusknoir came from.
And gallade and Gardevoir ARE the most powerful cards IMO, they dont work in this format but they are undeniable powerful.

Not even sure if it's actually a set or promo, but there's a new Giratina with the Desperation Poke-Power. It's a good disruptor. I don't remember where I saw it though.
 
The link to it is right here:

http://www.pokebeach.com/tcg/intense-fight-in-the-destroyed-sky#giratina-td

EDIT: I think this should be the one to run. Not only does it have a decent Power, but its attack does 60 and could even do a 20 spread.
 
Only problem is that you lose the chance to deal 60+ damage to the active. I say run 1 Giratina LA and 2 Giratina GC and 1 Giratina LV.X with the 4-4 Yanmega.
 
Yeah, I was still questioning that, too.

Alright, here you go:

2/1-1 Giratina LV. X (2 LA, 1 IFDS Deck)
4-4 Yanmega LA
2-1 Azelf LV. X (Not only can it get out your prized Giratina LV. X, but the LV. X gives you no Weakness)
2-2 Claydol GE

= 19

Not too bad...
