So I have been messing with a deck for the past couple weeks with a pokemon lineup consisting of:
2 Coballion EX
2 Skarmory EX
2-1-2 Klingklang
2-2 aromataisse
1 coballion- from LT
1 Kyurem EX from PB
Coballion and Skarmory are used as my main attackers - Coballion to counter pyroar, suicune, sigs, etc. and being able to discard special energy, and Skarmory to deal good damage and remove tool cards from defenders.
Klingklang to give protection to all my metal types from EXs and Aromataisse to move my energy around
1 coballion to use against Yveltal and Keldeo/Blastoise decks that use energy attachment for lots of damage, and breakthrough for defensive situations.
The Kyurem EX is primarily there for countering fire decks because that is what I have problems with. I like him because he is water (great for targeting the weakness of fire types), and since he is colorless, it is no problem to use my fairy/prism/rainbow energy with aromataisse.
However, I repeatedly get stomped by Charizard decks with Pyroars. It only takes 90 damage (before my metal type weaknesses) to 1HKO all my metal types and although I can use Coballion EX to still attack Pyroar, I simply cant compete with the blacksmith/stroke/fiery torch combos where they can usually attach 3 energy per turn and I am left with only attaching 1.
It seems I always get 1 turn away from loading up someone on my bench to come in and knock out someone important (like a Pyroar) with my metal type, and then here comes the Lysandre to pull them out and 1HKO them with 1 energy discard.
So with that said, does anyone have suggestions for my pokemon lineup (or any other cards) that would help me counter these types of fire decks better? I realize any deck wont always win, but I feel like there is definitely room for improvement.
