I play Tyranitar, and I constantly play someone's Machamp deck. I have yet to win. I usually lose 2-0 in prizes.

Is there ANY card that would help me?
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

Are you playing the T-Tar theme deck? Describe the two decks.
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

If you're playing the Yanmega variation, I would like to let you know that it's not thet best one against Machamp.

My T-Tar usually counters Machamp (4-0 my friend) with Sableye (Force Machamp to donk it, and is a powerful finisher against Machamp LV.X), Darkrai (faster damage), and Pluspower/Cresselia (reach that perfect 130. Cresselia also KOs a heads on Strong-willed the turn after, since it does not prevent Full Moon Dance).
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

Nah, I ditched the idea. It wasn't quite as good as it seemed on paper.

Have Sableye, but I can't ever seem to donk anything or not get donked by T3.

I can't ever Darkrai out without is getting killed.

Haven't used PlusPower or Cresselia. (don't have the latter) I think I'll try with PlusPowers and some Warp Point/Switch.

Oh well.

Are you running Moonlight Stadium?

Warp Point and Moonlight is nessecary to get out Darkrai LV.X and Cresselia LV.X (which I realize you're not using) without losing them.

Yeah...I never have any good luck. >=/

Yup

RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

heh, just let something get KO'd and then bring out Darkrai, level him up, free retreat.
Also, play a boatload of disruption. This way, you can force Machamp to use powers to get back on steam, allowing you to charge fast.
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

^Yeah, do what he said. Disruption. Maybe an absol start as bait. One thing about heavy decks like machamp is that they can't stand a bad start. Mind you, if your opponent's machamp plays blower, ditch the uxie lvx, darkrai lvx and cresselia lvx idea if you're using them.
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

unown g prevents donk.
the other attack for 2 is totallly luck based and the the one for four nrg requires 4 nrg.
so stopping the first attack from the donk ability is pretty handy imo in beating machamp.
to me its that simple and as it turns out in most cases it actually is.
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

It is a very hard deck to beat against Machamp, no lie. But the one thing Like Zone Getter said is play a Uxie X line as it speeds up the deck and does quick damage.
 
RE: I just can't ever beat Machamp...

I like a Uxie LvX tech in my deck. Helps with some nice setup and a lesser engine along with Claydol, uses Colorless Energies, and OHKOs Machamp LvX.
