Just post any new techs from Rising Rivals that you think not everyone can see just like that.
New Techs: Rising Rivals Edition
- Thread starter leafeon lord89

Flygon: Most see this as a new archetype deck, but a 1-1 line can serve as a great tech, given room, to give basically anything free retreat other than flygon. Kinda cool and takes up less space than weavile/palkia lvX if you already carry some rare candies.
Beedrill: Under the same roof as flygon- this little guy seems to be delegated to speedrill decks, but he could make a nice 1-1 tech in any grass deck to help its ability to find pokemon.
Nidoking: His pokebody let's you get some extra damage on the opponent whenever you get attacked. Combine with any other damage addition stadiums/abilities as you wish, though keep in mind the affect cannot be stacked.
Nidoqueen: Extra healing lets you last longer, can't be stacked.
Machamp GL: Mostly his second attack that lets you shuffle the defending pokemon back into their deck (assuming they have a bench), but takes a lot of energy to build up. If you have room though, it's a nice scare tactic somewhat similar to dusknoir DP.
Infernape 4 lvX: Forces your opponent to switch anytime during your turn. A lvX tech can be a little tricky sometimes, but the free retreat helps and the benefits can be great.
Washtom: Need a quick heal? Wash rotom is your dude. One energy, 3 counters off every poke on your bench for an attack.

Lucario GL, for those decks who want a Lake Boundary to go with their *insert stadium here*.

Weezing will be nice. It can do a nice chunk of damage in the first few turns, risk free.
alakazam 4 + vibrava for a on-hit-wonder!

I don't know what you're talking about. Dont' use it with colorless pokemon? Use one of the MANY colorless energies available?
Flygon's retreat isn't important here?

I see a HUEDGE energy accel
^ a few sum1 said Machamp GL is nice, bit it takes up too much energy.
Watch:
Energy --> Flint's --> Brongzong g --> Energy Gain
A bit un-likely but you just got it 1st turn
I personally see Rampardos GL as an under-considered TecH, maybe in combination with Manectric. 1 {F} Energy (+ Energy Gain) for Max 150 damage output on your opponent? Yes please.
Too bad it's all flippy, and it can hurt you as well.
Also, I doubt it'll actually be TecH'ed, but maybe Electrode G can be considered as a TecH, either to spread or to go for a finish, or heck, even go for both!
