Metal Lock (Scizor-Cobalion)

The focus is to get an Attack Lock either by Scizor or Cobalion. If I am facing a Reshiphlosion or a google, then I bring out the Kyurem and DCL.

3-3 Scizor
3 Cobalion NV
3 Kyurem
3 Skarmory
3-2-2 Klinklang
1-1 DCL
1 Pichu
1 Cleffa

4 Oak
3 Twins
4 Collector
3 Evolite
2 Switch
2 Catcher
2 Candy

6 Metal
4 Special Metal
4 Rainbow


Now I know what you are thinking, that is WAY to many pokemon. But the concept of this deck is flexibility. There are a couple ways I can play out this deck.

I would want to start with Skarmory and start the flow of Metal energy. Depending on the opponents deck, I can set up one of my three main attackers, being Scizor, Cobalion, or Kyurem. Cobalion is for general attack lock, Scizor is for Special energy powered attackers, and both of them will be great counters against the future force of Kyurem.

For the unfavorable match up, Reshiphlosion which just laughs at my steels, I have Kyurem to counter-attack. 60 on Reshi and 30 to the bench will be devistating, not to mention evolite for my dragon and a Super-effective Outrage if I attack after Reshi.

And there is ofcourse a use for the rest of my pokemon, which are kinda just techs. Rainbow Energy, unless I am mistaken, could also be moved by Klinklang, making the most of it's ability between not wasting rainbows when I have to switch and setting up. DCL comes in either after Kyurem Ko's Reshi or at any time while facing a google deck. Paired with Kyurem it is definitely a threat if used correctly. Pichu to set up, considering my mass amount of basics, but also so Kyurem can make the most of his attack. And Cleffa for Eeeek. I do not plan on having any of these out as active for long or at all, so once they do what they need to do they will go back to the bench and look pretty.

But of course this deck is not perfect, so please tell me what you think. Criticism is always welcome.
 
I see that everyone is too shocked on how amazing this deck is that they can not even comment on it. Prove me wrong people!
 
First off if you dont mind me asking what is DCL?
Well since i dont know what that is ill go off what i do know
Kyurem is a no im sorry i get what ur trying to do but all your going to do is boost Resh/Zek alot
Scizor & Cobalion great picks Scizor is a beast i run 3-3 and Cobalion 2 shot a Resh/Zek and that cant hit you in between
Kinkklang i dont like it cant move Rainbow it only moves Steel Energy
if i were you and going for a lock type deck why not go with Beartic
so then take out the 4 rainbow for water
ok so here we go this is what i would do but keep in mind im not you:

-3 Kyurem
-3-2-2 Klinkklang
-1 Eviolite
-4 Rainbow
-2 Candy
-1 Pichu
-1 Collector

+2-2 Beartic
+4 Water Energy
+3 DCE
+2 Metal Energy
+3 Junk arm
+3 Communication

Thats it for now hope it helps
Peace
 
DCL = Darkrai Cresselia Legend. Also Klinklang can move Rainbow energy as it would count as every energy once it's in play, same goes for Mismagius UL - it can move Rainbow energy as well.


A much better way for countering Reshiram and google.Decks would be a 1-1 or 2-2 Entei-Suicune Legend. Against google variants you could (you need 2 Rainbow energy on the field) you could transfer energy to ESL and Torrent Blade Reuniclus which makes the match-up easier if they can't heal. It also OHKO's Reshiram. Kyurem and DCL would then no longer be needed in the deck, in which case you can just replace them with

+1-1 ESL
+2 Max Potion
+1 Pokemon Communication

I'm suprised you don't use Max Potion seeing as how this deck can use it effectively. If you wanted you could drop the Scizor Prime line down to 2-2 and decrease the Skarmory down to 1 if not cut the whole thing. It's just a "meh" card IMO, sure it helps stack those special {M} energy but this deck can already set-up T2 with either Scizor prime or Colbalion. I'd say trim the fat and increase consistency by adding in some actual draw support power and search power as PONT and 1 Comm alone isn't enough:

-3 Skarmory
-1-1 Scizor Prime

+3 Sage's Training or Cheren (preference)
+2 Pokemon Communication
 
I didnt think of ESL that actually is much better than the DCL Kyurem combo. And Honestly I didnt think of max potions probably because at my league, Vileplume is played a lot so I didnt give the trainers as much thought as the pokemon and supporters. I will deffinitly try to fit those in, as well as get my hands on at least one full ESL.

Skarmory should stay. He is useful not just to get the special metal energies out but also to attach an additional metal energy each turn he can attack. Granted I will prob retreat him T3 but I would also have at most 5 energies active with him, allowing kinklang to move those either to Cobalion or Scizor for 90-110 damage. BUT I have yet to test this deck so you might be right and if Skarmory is a dead card then I will remove him. well anyways In the mean time:

- 3 Kyurem
- 1-1 DCL

+ 3 Max Potion
+ 1-1 ESL
