Masters: Fall Battle Roads Donphan/Machamp

3-3 Donphan Prime
2-1-2-1 Machamp SF
2-2 Manectric PL
2-1 Uxie
1 Azelf

Pokemon: 20

3 Bebe's Search
3 Pokemon Collector
2 PONT
1 Palmer's Contribution
2 Rare Candy
3 BTS
3 SSU
3 Pokemon Communication
2 Expert Belt
2 Warp Point
2 Bench Shield
2 Pokemon Reversal
1 Premier Ball
1 Luxury Ball

T/S/S: 30

7 Fighting Energy
3 DCE

Energy: 10

Basic Strategy:
Tank with Donphan, Manectric protects the Bench from both Earthquake recoil and snipes. As for Machamp, with the presence of Kingdra/Blastagatr in my local meta Donphan alone doesn't work so well. Machamp helps as a back up attacker Kingdra/Blastoise can't one shot and then as a bonus he helps with SP.

How would you change it up? Let me know.
 
RE: Fall Battle Roads Donphan/Machamp

Please edit your thread title with your age group.
 
I don't see that much use for Pokemon Reversal here really, and I'm not sure about Premier Ball either since you already have so much search power and neither Lv.X is extremely important...

I'd say:
-2 Pokemon Reversal
-1 Premier Ball OR Pokemon Communication (whichever seems more appropriate)

+2 Mesprit
+1 SSU

I think Mesprit can be useful for power-locking in Donphan and if you're running them then you need 4 SSU.
 
But... is Machamp really needed? IMHO a very speed version of DonkPhan is better than this.. Machamp is a great tech, but not here..
 
Mespirts are great in donphan and will help slow down your opponents,
so -2 Pokemon Reversal for +2 Mesprits. also premier ball isn't that good in donphan so dorp 1 Premier + Uxie for more draw power.
 
Machamp and Donphan have similar strengths and your deck will run better if you choose one or the other and run it. Donphan is probably the better play since it has better matches outside of SP and sets up faster but Machamp isn't without his own merits, so it's your call.
 
I like the idea of running Mesprit. As for the suggestion to drop Machamp, with the presence of Kingdra/Blastagatr in my local meta Donphan alone doesn't work so well. Machamp helps as a back up attacker Kingdra/Blastoise can't one shot and then as a bonus he helps with SP.

Bah, I don't think you'll attack with Manectric. The lightning energy isn't needed here IMHO.

Agreed. WORST case scenario Manectric can use a DCE attack if for some bazaar reason it's necessary.
