Needs a new name

[killers0820]

I've only tried it a few times with moderate success, but it's still very rough. Most of the cards are from HGSS Undaunted Nightfall. I'm pretty new to the game, so don't expect this deck to be tournament-cailber. Any feedback would great.

4-3-1 Aggron
2-1 Honchcrow
4-2 Umbreon
2 Mawille
2 Sableye
2-2-1 Metagross
1 Skarmory
Pokemon=27

11 {M}
8 {D}
Energy=19

2 Interviewer's Questions
1 Twins
1 Professor Elm's Training Method
1 Black Belt (this needs to be swapped out)
Supporters=5

1 Life Herb
1 Professor Oak
1 Pokenav
2 Energy Exchanger
2 Pokedex
1 Energy Search
1 Pokemon Communication
Trainers=8

Strategy:
I've played this deck a few times, with surprisingly high success. Sometimes, I can get a tank out early (Aggron or Metagross) and build up an "army" behind them. Other times, I've been able to strike early with Umbreon and build up a tank behind it.

My thougts:
-I need to take out some pokemon
-I need to add more supporters
-Not all of my trainers/supporters are necessary for a tank-building deck
-I'd like a stadium card, but the card that came in the pack (Burned Tower) wasn't one that struck me as very useful

Any advice or feedback is appreciated. This deck is going to be used for casual gaming, so it doesn't have to be perfect. I know that some parts of my deck may be ridiculously stupid, so don't flame me for that, please.

RE: Rough New Deck

what set is the aggron from?
I used to run this deck before I had to take it apart for trades. it's not that bad.
I'd suggest taking out the sableyes and putting in another few prof elms, or other pokemon searching cards, so you can get your hard hitters (metal pokemon) out faster. and take one eevee out and replace with another aggron or another beldum/metagross

RE: Rough New Deck

I would either focus on Metagross or Aggron (is the Aggron from the Triumphant set?) Both require alot of time to set up so it would be more beneficial for you if you just focused on either of the two. Seeing as the deck is a tanking deck, Aggron would be best for the job, HOWEVER, Metagross deals out more damage over time so the choice is all up you. Whichever pokeon you choose make the line a 3-3-3 Line of either Metagross or Aggron

-2-1 Honchkrow
-2 Mawile
-2 Eevee
-1 Sableye
-4 {D} Energy
-1 Black Belt
-1 Pokénav
(-14)

+3 Skarmory (Undaunted)
+1-1-1 Magnezone (Stormfront / #5)
+3 Pokemon Collector
+1 Pokemon Communication
+2 Professor Elm's Training Method
+1 Warp Point / Switch
+1 Luxuxry Ball

Most of the cards are quite easy to obtain and will help your deck out in the long run, especially in the searching option. Skarmory would be an ideal starter for this as what it does is allow you to search your deck for a metal energy, now because there's no specification on what metal to search for you could search for either a special or basic metal energy, so build Metagross up with Special {M} energy. Magnezone helps search you deck for {M} pokemon, so it's a support pokemon.

Seeing as i've reduce your enegy line down to 15, what you should change it to is

4 {M} Special
7 {M} Basic
4 {D} Basic

RE: Rough New Deck

Thank you very much for the help!
The Aggron and one Aron are from Triumphant. I got both of them in trades with my friend who got a Triumphant deck+booster pack.

I made some minor changes, but only based off of which cards I have on me right now:
- 2 Sableye
- 1 Eevee
- 2-1 Honchkrow
- 1 Blackbelt

+ 2 Switch
+ 1 Pokemon Communication
+ 2 Energy Removal
+ 1 Twins
+ 1 Life Herb

These changes are only temporary until I can go get some of the cards that you recommended. Where can I go to get them? Or is best to buy online?

RE: Rough New Deck

It's best to by online unless you like pitting your luck on the packs, which is never always a good idea.
