Lions with some tech (Terrakion)

[Slowbrother]

Here's my Lions list BW-on. I've been playing a lot with it and had some good results. But I need some help with my T/S/S list and also I want to include Terrakion to make a good tech against Darkrai.

Pokémon: 6

4 {R} Entei EX
2 {F} Terrakion (NV)

T/S/S: 41

4 RR
3 Switch
3 Energy Switch
4 Catcher
4 Crushing Hammer
2 Enhanced Hammer
2 Heavy Ball
3 Ultra Ball
4 Max Potion

4 Juniper
4 N
2 Bianca
2 Cilan

Energy: 13

10 {R}
3 {F}

Strategy:
Place a Entei Ex as starter if possible. Set him up, same time using juniper and/or Ultra Ball for energy discarding, them T3 attack with Grand Flame in an ideal situation. Terrakion is for revenge kills, specially against Tornadus/Darkrai.

I see Mewtwo giving this deck a lot of problems. I would say:

-2 RR
+2 Mewtwo

You could possibly find space for DCE, but being able to Grand Flame and energy switch should be enough to fight off opposing Mewtwo.

You're right, I've lost because of Mewtwo EX, but that Mewtwo was charged by a Shaymin, who will fall out in august.

Without Shaymin I don't see any other way to charge Mewtwo enough to scary an Entei. Also this deck is full of Hammers to avoid those overchargings.

And 4 RR is absolutely necessary, cuz this deck need with all forces to get everything in hand ASAP.

Maybe you should switch an Entei for a Terrakion, because the max amount of EXs your opponent can Ko' a game is 3, and then switch 2 fire energy for 2 fighting, also you might want 2-3 EXP. shares even if you don't want to be Ko'd

Cool idea. I've been thinking about this myself, but I've found it bad for the consistency using Terrakion in it. Please update me on how it's matchups are!

Anyway, isn't 4 Max Potion a bit overkill? I would maybe change two of them for two eviolite.

I've played against a Lions deck like this and the guy i've played against are using Super Scoop Up in place of Max Potions.

Maybe you need to test:
-4 Max Potion (energy killer, yeah i know about the Entei's ability to bring them back)
+3 Super Scoop Up ( you can bring a low HP Lion and put it back on Bench "healed" and the energies can go to another Pokémon )
+1 Revive ( Terrakion can die easily after he uses retaliate, put it on bech again, but then you'll need more fight energies)

I think the plan with Max Potion was to switch the Entei to a benched one, potion the damage and use Grand Flame to return it to the bench Entei, though I will say that combining both could be even more effective and provide more options for the deck.

You're right... in my old list I had Eviolite instead of Terrakions. I just forgot those. I honestly didn't tested Lions + Terrakion yet, but I'll see how it works and update it.
