New Expert Decks/Leafeon vs. Metagross. Which is better

[Porygon Z.0]

Whick deck do you think is better?
Read the article on the 2 new decks and pick one (they are being realeased stateside in the set after HGSS).
Both are 1000 times better than any starter deck has ever hoped to be and might actually see a lot of usage.
The leafeon deck is pure EVIL and the metagross one is also a good option(If you understand the strategy behind it).

Leafeon, NO CONTEST. Metagross is slow and clunky and its attacks are not that good, while Leafeon's are pretty good.

Pokemon-wise, Leafeon is better. Trainer-wise, it's metagross. Remember that we don't know if we are even getting it in America (Most likely not), and if so, I doubt these will be the actual theme decks. If you are japanese, I'd go for the metagross one.

Why would we NOT get them? They are basically promos to us, we got all the other battle decks or whatever(MD Empoleon, Torterra and Infernape) so I don't see why not. They will be thrown into either our HG/SS set or the next one. Or be made into a set w/ promos and the 44 cut cards from the original HG/SS set.

Leafeon is the best pokemon of the two by far, but Metagross has awesome trainers (read: Rare Candy). I'd go for Metagross.

Leafeon...doing over9000 damage for one energy is great. Metagross is pretty kewl, but too slow and the psychic weakness really hurts. Also, needing only psychic energy, makes him not using call energy.

I'm quite liking both, using the current venasaur deck take out sceptile down grade venusaur then fill the gaps with leafeon line and extra's (maybe a shaymin tech), but that devolving jirachi does look fun

Although I think Leafeon is better, I would recommend getting both, as some cards in the Metagross deck (Mismagius) would really benefit the Leafeon deck.

K, looking at like Good rod, just pair that w/ like 4 goods candies, and you can just have such good consistency. Add plus powers or expert belts to the mix of trainers you can choose. Leafen really is the better deck here...

Does anyone think there's any chance we get these decks as is the online service too? That would be awesome!

 

[Seth1789110]

IMO, I don't think so. I don't think the Pokemon Company would do something that cool, because it would take a lot of advertising and effort and it would be confusing to little kids(which is all they seem to pay attention to. If you read up on those articles they post, you will see what I mean. OMG that Sceptile can do a possible like 140! ZOMG!), which would cost them money. It would catch on to the older groups of fans, but why on Earth would they do something for us? No I don't think so, but only time will tell.
