goth/reun or google?

[Slowbro]

I have a google varient that works pretty well, but is gothitelle reuniclus a better deck? I'm kind of torn between the two. Please post why one deck is better (more consistensy, no bad matchups, etc.) Thanks for your help everyone!

Gothitelle is way more consistent since you can use trainers the whole game. However, since you have to have a Goth active at all times, the lock is harder to maintain. If there's a lot of Mew in your area, probably don't play Goth. If there's Mewbox and a lot of Magnezone/Yanmega, probably don't bother with either.

I would have to say googlebox is a far better deck because it is more reliable, has a better attack, no autolosses (of which G/R has several, basically anything with Mew or Magnezone) and the only thing G/R does better is be able to catcher up techs and kill them, which is kind of important, but it just doesn't outweigh the cons. Also, its way harder to break the trainer lock against a googlebox than a G/R (in fact, its impossible if they have a Dodrio line).

G/R also sets up way faster and is not completely reliant on Twins and topdecks to set up your attacker(s).

i would say google,because it has less bad matchups than gothlitelle reuniculus.google's is more consistent.but it all depends on areas meta and what u play best with.test both and see what you like more thats the best way to decide.

It really depends. Gothitelle/Reuniclus is more consistent because you have the ability to use trainers, but you have to Gothitelle active when trainer-locking. Not only that, you also only have one real major attacker in the deck, and that being Gothitelle. google (or really as I should say, "The Truth") is a bit less consistent because you are forced to use Supporters with Vileplume out, yet because Vileplume is a bench sitter, you have a lot of attackers to use depending on a situation, thus giving you better match ups.

In the end, the choice is yours. Either you want to have good consistency to be able to use your own trainers (Gothitelle), or you want to be ready for anything (The Truth).
