Landorus Dusknoir Boundaries Crossed Hype

[MamsPokemon]

So after the BC PreRelease ive been thinking on using this deck:
The idea/startegy is to spread damage, move it with Dusknoir and get those prizes. Using Virizion to Double Draw (if you start with him) and to counter Blastoise. Thinking on removing the Groudon and replacing it with Stunkfisk but that's just a random thought

Need your opinion!

Some thoughts/suggestions:

-1 Ditto,
-4 Ultra Balls,
+2 Emolga (CfF),
+3 Heavy Balls. The sole Ditto does little for you, if anything at all other than to "mask" the basic Poké you will eventually play. There is also no added advantage in playing UBs (unless you purposely intend to "thin out" your deck with these) especially when most of your Poké have a 3C energy retreat cost. If you can, I'd also suggest adding a 4th Landorus EX (-1 F energy) which I believe is your preferred starter.

An viable alternative to the Emolgas would be Virizion (NV). These would help with early setup (Double Draw) and provide somewhat of a counter to the Blastoise-Keldeo decks you will definitely see. Of course, you will then need to add about 3 G energy or 4 Prism (but these can't be searched (Cilan), switched (Energy Switch), nor retrieved (Energy Retrieval or Super Rod) from your discard pile).

-3 Bianca,
-1 Random Receiver,
+4 Cheren. If you do decide to replace the UBs as suggested above, then Cheren will be a better card draw option vs. Bianca, imho. Plus, this gives you another "straight card draw" option when you don't want to play a Professor Juniper and possibly discard other valuable resources.

-2 Eviolite,
-1 F
+3 Max Potion. Eviolites can be easily Scrappered; so, I'd suggest you use MPs to keep your starting, 1-energy attacking Landorus EX "healthy" as long as possible to keep applying early game pressure.

Hope this helps.

Like the way youre thinking man.
Definitely adding the Heavy Ball, Trying out the Virizion. I Agree with Max Potion as well. Whats your opinion on Groudon? Ive been seeing that he slows down the deck

Replace groundon with terrekion. Even if terrakion can't spread, it will help you get very easy KOs

I like the Groudon EX combo and its first attack, because it seems to compliment the overall strategy of the deck. Groudon EX's first attack spreads damage; but, it has a FC energy cost. So, you are not attacking with it t1 (if you happen to start with it). On the other hand, I'd prefer a 4th Landorus EX and a 3rd Virizion over the 2 Groudon EX.

One very "low profile" Poké is Stunfisk (DrX). Its first attack, Muddy Water, inflicts 20 damage (for F energy cost) onto the defending Poké, as well as another 20 damage onto an opponent's benched Poké. Its second attack (for FF energy cost), Rumble, inflicts 40, AND the defending Poké can't retreat! I used this Poké at the last Regional tournament in my Empoleon deck with alot of success. However, with many players expected to run Keldeo EX, many Poké attack effects will not be effective.

What about Terrakion EX or Terrakion (Retaliate) as Flyon2071 suggested? Hopefully, you won't ever start with either of these Poké...

In summary, I'd suggest replacing (following list is my suggested priority sequence) the 2 Groudon EXs with:

a) +1 Landorus EX, +1 Virizion; or
b) +2 Stunfisk; or
c) +1 Terrakion, +1 Virizion; or
d) +1 Terrakion EX, +1 Terrakion.
