Standard M Scizor EX - Crushing the way to the top

[chacks13]

Hello Everyone,

So this is my current deck and I am trying to make it the most competitive possible while looking at the current meta. Matchups up to this point have demonstrated that its only autoloss is volcanion ex because of weakness, and it has a hard time against giratina if it has a fast start or because of consistency to get garbodor set up. In most cases its just bad luck for starting with shaymin or hoopa. Is coballion a good tech? I want to make this deck work well against darkrai/giratina and M Mewtwo Garbodor.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

IMO, you have a solid list. However, for me, I'd would replace the Escape Rope (just take my chances since Float Stones are in the deck) with a Super Rod perhaps. As an Escape Rope alternative, you might find Olympia a good choice (then you may want to replace the Pokémon Center Lady if you do).

Also, the 2 Enhanced Hammer and a Team Flare Grunt seem a bit excessive to me; I'd suggest replacing the 2nd Enhanced Hammer with another Metal energy perhaps or a Ninja Boy.

A non-EX attacker/tech like Coballion is a good choice, IMO.

In a M Mewtwo EX match-up, your Hammers especially will be most useful, IMO, giving you an edge. This will also be the case in the Darkrai-Tina match-up, as well. One extra tactic you might want to consider is either running a 3rd Stadium (to keep Shrine of Memories out of play) or Delinquent.

I've been thinking in implementing Olympia for a while, will try that while also adding coballion. Team flare grunt also slows down my deck but i do not use it quite often due to either the sucess of the hammers or just because the game requires more of a lysandre or N.
Thank You so much.

With a deck like this, Hoopa-EX from Ancient Origins is a great card to have. You can Ultra Ball into a Hoopa and get whatever combination of Scizor-EX, Mega Scizor-EX and Shaymin.
