Is Flareon a Viable Inclusion in Night March?

[Spinnable]

Hey guys I have a couple questions. I stopped playing pokemon because of school and I'm coming back to compete at the regionals held down here in Georgia. Before I quit I was running a pure night March deck when those cards had started coming out. And now it seems like night March is really up there. I don't really have allot of money to spend but I'm buying the last couple shaymins and trainers I need to throw together my old night March deck. My question is I used to run night March/eevee and I used flareon and leafeon. I see Alot of vespiqueen and night March decks but I was wondering if using night March and flareon would still be viable because it has 10 extra hp and I have some extra open spots and i can use eeveee's ability energy evolution. I have the space for the cards i am thinking about a 2-2 eevee flareon and then 2 fire energy. Let e know what you guys think.

It is important to understand why you are seeing Night March/Vespiquen decks.

When did you quit playing? I can hazard a guess based on what you've said but there are exceptions that could prove false everything I can deduce.

Part of why I ask is because the Expanded Format. You would have quite while it was brand new, and it sounds like you're discussing a deck more often seen in Standard (Night March/Vespiquen) but actually wanting a deck for Expanded, since Flareon [Plasma] is the only one that really makes sense with Night March, while I'm not sure if any Leafeon other than Leafeon [Plasma] makes sense in any deck right now. XD

So if you are talking about Expanded play, then you can run Flareon [Plasma] with Night March. Most run Flareon [Plasma] with Vespiquen (just to be clear, I mean XY: Ancient Origins 10/98) because they use the exact same tactic and seem to compliment each other well. Vespiquen in Night March is more a necessity for Standard than anything else; Night March needed another attacker and Mew (XY: Fates Collide 29/124) is so new that it still isn't tournament legal. Vespiquen became one of the man options because it gave the deck an Evolved attacker (to get through certain anti-Basic effects), has a free Retreat Cost, and hits Seismitoad-EX especially hard. Since Quaking Punch is still difficult for a Trainer intensive deck like Night March to deal with and Seismitoad-EX is Grass Weak, even if your opponent locks you down fast and your discard pile is small, Vespiquen might be up to the job.

So if you want to run Night March with Flareon [Plasma] in Expanded, go ahead. I would try to get the cards you need to build the decks separately as well though, because I believe the established versions are better suited to the current foramt.

Yeah I believe flareon could do the trick. And I have the vespiueen set for standard too. I'm not gonna do leafeon there is no point to it, and I don't like using mew ex because they could take two prizes off of me. I'm probably going to run 2-2 plasma flareon and the energy evolution eevee. Thanks for your input and I stopped playing around phantom forces.

One last thing: the latest set contains a Mew which is not a Pokémon-EX but which can copy the attacks of your Basic Pokémon in play. More restrictive than Mew-EX, but you're only giving up one Prize.

Instead of Flareon I would play 3 FAC Mew and 3 Basic Energy assuming you already have 3/4 D Valley
