I understand some decks that used to be popular are dying out, but is megazone one of them? It's a great deck, but I want to know if it's still good before I go out and buy more megas/zones. If it's still good, can someone tell me if it will still be good even with the release of ex's/future sets. Thanks!
Is megazone still a viable deck?
- Thread starter Slowbro
- Start date
It's certainly still viable.
After the next set with Durant's release, it's a little questionable. But right now, its only bad matchup is Donphan and Reshiram is a little bad. It's a great play for Regionals - just past that it might be risky depending on how the meta plays out.

) is it good with kingdra? Jirachi? Thanks
Nope. Durant KILLS the deck. It will become the new BDIF, and the only way to stop it is ZPTS.
Yea, it's kind of hard to get the self generation without pachi unless they have a bad start lol. I'll add pachi and I made changes to my deckCelebi23 said:
that's pure speculation/theorymon, however Durant looks like it has potential. It WILL see play, though I'm not sure as the BDIF. Zpst stops it, and Zpst is the BDIF atm.shifty14326 said:
I think everyone should keep in mind Japan is far ahead of us in terms of sets and has had Durant for while, and while its not a bad deck, it is not at all the BDIF in Japan. I don't know much about Japan but I have heard some things, yet Durant is never mentioned, so I'm fairly certain that its not BDIF.
Durant WILL NOT be BDIF. It will not be close. It will have some interesting matchups, but won't be played enough or have matchups across the board that are good enough for it to do that well.
MegaZone is certainly still viable, and one of the best decks in format if you know how to play it. It's got pretty good matchups overall, so by all means play it if you enjoy it.

I am failing to see how Durant kills the deck. Though it may take a while to take out all the Durants, if your careful with your Magnetic Drawing, you'll be fine.
I personally don't think MegaZone is currently good because of a bad weakness to ZPST and TyRam.
Yeah, MegaZone does alright against ZPST.
glaceon, try Durant vs. Megazone. Durant gets the swarm out early and MegaZone can't keep up. You're getting KOs about every other turn, which is a ridiculous amount of time against Durant.
