basic luxchomp strategy, luxray to bring up pokemon, and garchomp mostly for sniping, dialga line to stop pokebody's if needed, uxie lv. x to get machamp if needed to, thanks again for looking at my post, and i will try any new changes to test play to see wich i like best :cool:
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

how do you propose you get Dialga out of the active spot with reasonable success? Just burn two energy?
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

I would say take out one crobat and one roserade for two warp energies for your dialga problem. I also say take out one bebe, one sp radar, and one e gain for three collectors. You don't run sp without collectors since your whole deck is basic pretty much. Try that
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

hey, ok thanks for the tips, i'll play test it with those changes, ya i originally had 2 warp energies, but in my area i never had to use them much cuz i never really had to use dialga, i could also poketurn diagla, but then that would also coast me a use of poketurn >.<
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

Why not try Blaziken BF? Just an idea.
Another Collector would be better. I know you have Call but you can't waste a turn in the mid-game just to bring 2 pokemons.

VS Seeker is a good card too.

Warp energies are crucial too.
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

put back the roserade, it will give you easy prize cards in the beginning of a game
 
RE: luxchomp for regionals this weekend o.0

hey, so the changes i've done wuz take out a bebe's search and the roserade and 1 crobat, i've added in a weavile sp, to help against the gengar decks, and added in 2 warp energies for dialga, should i take something out for a vs. seeker so i can use cyrus's a 5th time if needed ? the weavile has been helpful whne i did some play test with it compared to roserade...altho roserade is helpful for early game as well ? also at dmaster...wut do u mean by that i need to format the deck list better ? this is my first time posting a decklist so tips would be great
 
Hi. If you want a Machamp/Mewtwo counter put a 1-1 Honchkrow line. I also think you should put a Twins and an Energy Exchanger. Twins is for Machamp or mirror match, because you will mostly/sometimes start losing and Twins helps you setting up. Energy Exchanger helps you a LOT because you can have a DCE. VS Lostgar, you should just pull Vileplume with Bright Look and 0HKO it with Uxie L.X Zen Blade attack, since Vileplume has a x2 weakness to Psychic. So, this is it:

Take out:
1-1 Dialga G L.X (believe me, this isn't a good idea)
2 Warp Energy
2 Metal Energy
1 Weavile G (not needed with Honchkrow SV)
1 Energy Gain

Put in:
1-1 Honchkrow SV
1 Dark Energy
1 Pokémon Collector
1 Bebe's Search
1 Energy Exchanger
1 Expert Belt
 
The list is pretty solid but there are a few places where you could trim some 'fat.'

You really shouldnt require 4 energy gain, 3 should be just fine. I would also suggest dropping the SP radar count down to 2 and adding in another collector, you need at least 3 especially late game when you can thin out your deck. If VileGar is a big deal in your area I would also suggest utilizing another Bebe because your gonna get leveled down with no trainers to search out the X. You could also get away with 1 metal energy and 2 lightning as your energy count is extremely high at the moment.

-1 Gain
-1 SP Radar
-1 Metal Energy
-1 Lightning Energy
-1 Luxury Ball

For
+ 1 Collector (Deck Thinning and bad Start helper; Can be cyrused out unlike call energy)
+ 1 Premier Ball (Besides pulling the obvious X out of deck or discard without using Supporter; Mainly used for geting Uxie X back after a takeout)
+ 1 Junk Arm (Can discard useless matchup cards (Dragonite against non-sp) for a second VS Seeker, 5th poke turn, 2nd premier ball)
+ 1 Expert Belt (Nukes G-dos on a luxray x, can get the donk, stops many one shots plus you can poke turn it up to avoid the 2 prize)
+ 1 Bebe Search (Greatly needed if playing a trainer lock list, get the dialga/spray level downs/bebe for x when out of sprays)

Dont forget that Lucario can use the metal energy if your facing a Tyranitar deck or similar in assistance of Toxicroak.

EDIT: You should try to fit in a Twins if at all possible. Will help you in the mirror which is going to be common at regionals.
 
hi, ok, thanks, i'll try those out and see how it works, i think other luxchomp and gyarados and possibly gengar decks will be the top 3 i'll have to face, not so much with machamp
