Hi everybody. This is my Luxchomp decklist. I won't take many suggestions UNLESS they seem a VERY good idea. What I really want to know is your opinion about the deck, but post suggestions still.

Pokémon (22):
2-2 Luxray GL L.X RR
2-2 Garchomp C L.X SV (not gonna put 3-1 line)
2-2 Honchkrow SV (my meta just got MUCH more Machamps and Vilegarchamps)
2-1 Uxie L.X LA
1 Unown Q MD
1 Azelf LA
1 Crobat G PL
1 Bronzong G PL
1 Lucario GL RR
1 Promocroak
1 Draggy FB SV (Dragonite)

T/S/S (26):
4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
4 Poké Turn
3 Energy Gain
4 Power Spray
2 SP Radar
3 Pokémon Collector
1 Junk Arm
1 Pokémon Communication
1 Twins (OH MY GOD, AWESOME TECH)
1 Expert Belt
1 Bebe's Search
1 Aaron's Collection

Energys (12):
4 DCE
2 Lightning Energy
2 Dark Energy
3 Call Energy
1 Psychic Energy

Strategy:
Luxray GL L.X to take easy prizes or lock up something with heavy retreat cost. Garchomp C L.X to snipe and to take easy prizes. Uxie for drawpower and Uxie L.X for extra drawpower and Machamp Counter. Unown Q to give Uxie L.X free Retreat Cost. Azelf to take something usefull/important Pokémon from prizes. 2 Crobat G to add the 10 important damage. Bronzong G to swap Energys between my SP Pokémon. Lucario GL to give Machamp a x2 Weakness. Promocroak to Counter Luxray GL L.X and Magnezone. Draggy FB to Mirror Match and, obviously as SP/Garchomp C Counter. Honchkrow SV is in with a 2-2 line because my meta has suddenly changed and there are many more Machamps. I also thinked it's almost equal to Sablelock but with Luxray instead of Sableye and Inititives and Judges.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

Drop an Aaron's for a VS seeker. It's so freaking amazing in this deck it's not even funny. It's like having 5 Cyrus's in your deck. I'd also try to fit another Junk Arm in, maybe dropping the energy exchanger. Other than that, the list looks good.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

I have already tested with VS Seeker and I didn't liked it. I also think keeping 2 Aaron's is the best choice. 1 Junk Arm is enough for me.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

What's your meta like? How would you go about playing a vilegar matchup. The deck is pretty good for a mirror but what about the other decks you'll see?
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

Against Vilegar is pretty simple. I knockout Vileplume with a Luxray and Uxie combo. After that just use Twins if I'm losing. Against Machamp I could tech-in a Premier Ball to kill them twice. Against other decks I just use Luxray/Garchomp.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

getting out the luxray and uxie x is tricky though under trainerlock. Have u tested against vilegar with great success?
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

Yes, I have tested against Vilegar. It's not that hard to pull Uxie L.X and Luxray. Besides, if I manage to Bright Look really early game, I have advantage. Also, my meta looks like this (talking about the good players, of course):
4 Luxchomp
1 BLG
3 Chenlock
1 Sabledonk
1 Machamp
1 or 2 Vilegar

In this metagame, you basiclly need 3-1 garchomp c.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

Very smooth list, however since you are already playing Dragonite I feel that you will not have much of a use for it.
-1 Ambipom G
+1 Roserade GL, this card is so amazing, it is kinda hard to explain, quick poison hurts a lot of things, great lock.
 
RE: Hagane's Luxchomp (Luxray and Garchomp)

I really don't like Roserade GL as a tech. I will keep the Ambipom G. I am doing very well against all those decks without that weird Garchomp line.

Actually, many top players are playing 3-1 now.
When playing mirror people will kill Ambipom G first. ( Atleast i do)
Roserade GL depends on how many players play a Starter.
 
I don't like the 3-1 Garchomp line because it can be prized and they can spray Azelf or it can be Lostzoned.
