Greninja / Miltank / Dedenne

[Neil Klima]

Pokemon:

• 
  4-2-3 Greninja XY
  4 Miltank FLF
  3 Dedenne FFI

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums:

• 
  4 Skyla
  3 Bianca
  2 Tierno
  2 Sycamore
  
  4 Ultra Ball
  4 Rare Candy
  4 Energy Retrieval
  3 Sacred Ash
  3 Roller Skates
  3 Prof Letter
  2 Silver Bangle

Energy:

• 
  10 Water

Strategy:
the strategy behind this is to set up greninja on the bench and snipe with water shuriken while miltank hits for 110 bangled with its powerful friends attack. I want to include a couple megaphones in this deck, but what to cut i have no idea. I know the supporter list looks really weird but it actually works really well for some reason, 2 seems to be the perfect number of sycamores for this deck and idk why.
I might cut 1 energy and maybe a prof letter/sacred ash for the megaphones, but overall this deck is pretty consistent. I think this is gonna be my play for indianapolis but idk yet. Advice?

-1 Miltank
-3 Bianca
-2 Tierno
-4 Energy Retrieval
-2 Sacred Ash; 1 should be plenty, especially with Dowsing Machine.

+1 Exeggcute; Let's you pay for Ultra Ball and SER easier.
+3 N
+2 Sycamore; Sycamore / Juniper and N are the best draw Supporters in format.
+3 Superior Energy Retrieval; Gets back more Energy.
+1 Startling Megaphone; Garbodor is a thing, and not being able to use Water Shutdown hurts.
+1 Silver Bangle; I'd say you need at least three of these to get them attached to Miltank consistently.
+1 Dowsing Machine; No reason not to play an Ace Spec. Dowsing Machine fits best in this deck.

Good luck at Indiana!

I find that miltank isn't that great anymore. Sure 1 energy for 80-110 damage is pretty great, but the weakness to fighting really hurts. Turn 1 Hammerhead with muscle band or strong energy can OHKO your miltanks. You may want to consider using a higher hp Basic be your offense while greninja hits things. Seismitoad Ex, Kyurem Plasma, or even mewtwo are good basics for the job. But 2 energy for some damage while your pokemon survives is pretty great. Plus those 3 can hit for weaknesses that are popular.

You could also try greninja ex. though 30 damage isn't great, it can be placed anywhere.

This seems like a pretty good choice in terms of matchups. Miltank hits hard and only gives up a prize, Greninja can rescue it from Landorus and Pyroar, while Dedenne covers Yveltal. The only shaky matchup seems to be Vir/Gen, because it can easily KO your Greninjas. Hopefully that isn't too big of a showing at Indianapolis, right?

Ok so I like all the changes Mora suggested and you should go with them except for one thing. Adding 2 extra Sycamore for a total of 4 in a deck where you want to set up multiple Stage 2s might be a bad idea. It's going to force you to discard lots of resources early on. Bianca should be helpful because there's a lot of discarding going on and you also get to control it a little with Exeggcute to get your hand down to as close to 1 card as possible.

-2 Sycamore
+1 Shauna, +1 Bianca

SeismitoadEX is probably a bigger problem than Vir/Gen, but if you can deal with the first one, you should be okay after that. The best thing to counter Seismitoad is probably adding a couple MewtwoEX into the deck.

-1 Skyla, -1 Professor's Letter(They were the only things I could think of to take out)
+2 MewtwoEX

Good luck at the tournament, and try to make another list for the Expanded format in case you make the second day. It's probably going to stay the same for the most part unless you decide on a completely different deck.

Greninja doesnt hit for SE damage. So it cant be used to counter pyroar or landorus.

Well that's too bad. It can still hit Pyroar for 110 though if you use Mist Slash + 2 Water Shuriken. If you're lucky.
