RE: Magneboar (Magnezone Emboar) HGSS-On

Put the division in the title(Juniors, Seniors, Masters) before you get a warning.

-2-3 Dual Ball - Too flippy and you have no pokemon collectors.
-1 Rare Candy - No need to waste space.
-1-1 Ampharos Prime - Unneeded personally, but if you like it or it works well keep it,is your deck.

+2-3 Pokemon Collector. - Not enough supporters here and these are much better than dual balls.
+1 Fisherman. - More energies for you.
+1 Judge. Can be used to refresh hand and get the opponents gone. And with Magnezones ability, you get 6 cards.
 
RE: Magneboar (Magnezone Emboar) HGSS-On (Seniors)

Thank you very much! :D. I wanted to try out the Ampharos, so I will keep that in there.
 
I would take 1 magneton out and add in 1 more rare candy to help with consistency and to better ensure that you can get T2 stage 2's out.

If the ampharos doesn't work out, I think you should add in 1 more pokemon collector and either 1 more pokemon reversal or junk arm, your choice.
 
Ampharos prime does nothing in this deck, this deck deals OHKO's it may save you an energy or 2 over the course of the game but the amount of resources and attention it would take to get out is not worth it in my opinion
 
One thing I do enjoy to see in Magneboar is Reshiram BW. It's a nice tech considering you run Retreival and could definitely use it as back-up. I would consider dropping all three of your PONT for 2 more Judge and a Reshiram. Judge is much better because you can use Magnetic Draw to copy PONT's use, and Reshiram has been stated as a nice tech for ZPS and other decks. So, all in all:

- 3 PONT

+ 2 Judge
+ 1 Reshiram BW

I know it's a little trolly for me to suggest something this small, but besides Ampharos I think your deck is very solid. (The reason I don't like Amphy is because you need those precious Rare Candies for Magnezone and Emboar).
