Plasma / Garbodor

[SynxS1N]

I recently went to a locals and saw this deck being played. This is my first run at a possible list.

Pokemon: 9

• 2 Thundurus EX
• 3 Kyurem
• 2 Garbodor DRX
• 2 Trubbish (70hp)

Trainers: 39

• 4 Professor Juniper
• 3 N
• 3 Skyla
• 2 Colress
• 4 Pokemon Catcher
• 4 Hypnotoxic Laser
• 4 Float Stone
• 3 Colress Machine
• 3 Ultra Ball
• 2 Silver Bangle
• 2 Tool Scrapper
• 2 Switch
• 1 Dowsing Machine
• 2 Virbank City Gym

Energy: 12

• 4 Prism Energy
• 4 Plasma Energy
• 4 Blend Energy WLFM

Strategy:
Use Thundurus to set up Kyurem and swing like any other Plasma deck, but you also have the use of Garbodor to shut off pokemon abilities.

I think it's an interesting concept and I'd love to know what you guys think.

RE: Plasma w/Garbodor

interesting idea. Though the reason TDK does so well is because Kyurem can hit really hard with deoxys support. It does like 120 + Bangle or laser + deoxys. So it can OHKO Exs pretty often. The lists that also include Keldeo + Float stone also allow for consecutive blizzard burns.

With this list, you can do 120 every other turn unless you burn a switch or something. But since you have both laser and bangle you can also hit for 180 if you have all you need.

Maybe try to squeeze in more switches for consecutive attacks, when used with float stone.

I was thinking the same thing. With a lack of Keldeo and Deoxys there are definitely some drawbacks, but that's the exchange for running Garbodor and having an edge against ability reliant decks.

Very solid feedback, I agree that more Switches would serve this deck well but I can't find space for the life of me lol.
