Is there a card to put in eel decks to stop this card from Koing all their Eels from the bench? acatually, is their a card that can stop this in its tracks in general?
 
Wow, you seriously deleted the original thread because you disagree with other people?

ONCE AGAIN: MIRROR MATCH.

Nope. I wanted to stop the arguing. I just want a card. Not a deck.

Wanting to end an argument is not a valid reason to delete an entire thread.

Anyways, that's a discussion for another day. But in seriousness, Raikou probably doesn't need a counter. Just aggro the bloody card in about most decks, and if you're able to fit it to counter Eels, use Terrakion.
 
Ok, I'll take that into consideration. Sorry for deleting the ENTIRE thread, I just got mad. But I kinda want a card that can constantly do the job of Murduring raikou.

Feel free to keep discussing here, but I have found my partner. terrakion EX.
 
I know. But now it isn't! with the help of terrakion Ex, and a couple of prism Energy cards, you can have a instant, constant, Lightning Counter! And, as a bonus, it helps with energy acceleration!

Terrakion. Noble. Victories.
 
Why does it need to be countered. Other than sniping eels, it is no threat. It will take to prizes and give up 2 prizes. Even Steven.
 
The Eels player won't be using Raikou EX on you unless you're playing Eels. If you are playing Eels, you can respond with your Own Raikou EX. Without 2 Eelektriks, they cannot power up Raikou again.
 
Raikou EX is outclassed by Catcher. What's the point of sniping for 100 when most EX's can just use Catcher and do 150 for less drawbacks?
 
Raikou EX, countered by Groudon EX, Terrakion (EX and NV versions), Catcher (catcher the Eels and kill them), Eviolite hurts this sniper bad and Landorus + Plus Power, it's not that broken. Keep your bench free of small things (100Hp and less) annd you'll be fine, simple

Because with Raikou you don't have to have Catchers, or you can save them for a later time. Raikou is just more flexible.
 
You can get the same effect by upping your Catcher count. If you really want to take out the Bench that badly, run 3-4 Catcher. It's not really more flexible, because you can either waste 3 Electric energies that you have to find a way to get back or add two extra trainers that you can also reuse with Junk Arm. The only time Raikou EX is really better is against lock decks, but even then it would take two attacks from Raikou to KO a Vilelume.
 
Let's try this. Which is easier to get out: a searchable Basic Pokémon or a Trainer card? While you can make the argument that running a higher Catcher count can substitute Raikou, a Basic Pokémon is always MUCH to get out, and you can save your Catchers for when you need it more.
 
sniping gives more strategy options, u can catcher up something Fat and then KO sumthing on the bench.

I agree with this. Catchering an Eel and then sniping the other one is pretty disrupting.
