I have been preparing for the Dallas Regionals quite heavily these past few months, and the deck I will be running is a Mega Scizor/Garbodor deck. So far, Scizor has played really well in the Regionals that have already taken place. But from what people have said, Volcanion is showing up in full force. So I wanted to create this deck thread that will hopefully result in a way Scizor can stand up to Volcanion.
Current Deck List:
4-3 MScizor EX
x2 Shaymin EX
2-2 Garbodor
x1 Cobalion (Steam Siege)
x1 Hoopa EX
The Deck engine is pretty standard:
x4 Prof. Sycamore
x4 Ultra Ball
x4 VS Seeker
x2 N
x1 Lysandre
x1 Pokemon Center Lady (To Force 3HKO)
x4 Crushing Hammer
x3 Float Stone (To eliminate the chance of a Lysandre Garb Stall)
x3 Scizor Spirit Link
x2 Parallel City
x1 Mega Turbo
x1 Team Flare Grunt
x2 Trainers Mail
x1 Super Rod
x7 Basic Steel Energy
x2 Shield Energy (Reduced Shield Energy count for Mirror Match)
Total: 57
For techs against Volcanion, I have a few ideas. the first is a 1-1 line of Vaporeon (Aqua Effect). This would double our damage from 120, to 240. If you got out a Vaporeon and MScizor turn 2, you would just need to put out a Parallel City and go from there. The last one is a little weird, and it's a 2-2 line of Zoroark. If you put in 2 DCE, you would be taking up a little extra space, but I want to know if you guys think it's worth it
