What known rogues are there that are:

1)Highly playable
2) Commonly looked over

Just a reference guide!

As of 12/18:

- Rock Band (Beedrill + Claydol swarm)
Get them out fast and attack. Doing 120 for 1 is a biggy by any standards. Just keep on attacking and get your trainers right and you have an awsome deck.

-Butterfree w/ cherrim etc (Swarm)
Use Butterfree's first attack to heal and do quick damage. Once you begin dont let up as the oponnet will have no chance against a 120 beast that heals 30-70+ a turn.

-Roserade
"Roserade's Strategy is absically: Toxicroak (MT)+ Weezing[GE]+ Roserade (SF)
Basically, poison by getting attacked with Roserade, then Toxicroak stops evolution heal, and Koffing adds mor damage. Deep poison finishes the job." -Joethegreat1

-Mothballz (Gyrados-Mothim-Unknown P maybe w/ Cressy X)
Simple. Learn how to add and play the game at the same time. Load some damage on, and attack, or move them around. Can become a really complicated game

-Name XXX (Bronzong-Froslass spread)
Spread damage around, fast! Get the job done and do it well while the damage counters start to stack up across the field.

-"Here is another rogue: Mamoswarm

Like the name of the deck suggests, you just try to get as many Mamoswine out, then keep on KOing your opponents' pokemon. "-Deck tester

-"MT Feraligator/GE Claydol/SF Bronzong.

Search your deck for energies constantly and keep dealing high damage."-Zyflair

Give a reason as well. And this post will be updated.

[edit 1]:Strategies with each rogue

[edits]: Found some more. Still looking, and in desperate need of posters. Also, take a guess at some of the names. It will allow for some more info for the user.

[Edit 3]: Adding another rogue. Also, anyone interested, please come up with a new title as it may become a problem at a later note.

Thanks!

Roserade's Strategy is basically: Toxicroak (MT)+ Weezing+ Roserade (SF)

Thank you. Adding now.

Also please help with spelling, or any grammer issues.
 
RE: Rogues: A helpfull list on the diffrent

Here is another rogue: Mamoswarm

Like the name of the deck suggests, you just try to get as many Mamoswine out, then keep on KOing your opponents' pokemon.
 
RE: Rogues: A helpfull list on the diffrent

You are aware that the phrase "known rogues" is an oxymoron, right? :p Non-meta doesn't automatically make it rogue.
 
RE: Rogues: A helpfull list on the diffrent

^ You're so right. I hate it when people call under-played decks that are obvious rogues. Here's an article I've written on this that I feel is much more thorough and explains everything better:
http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=45673

I mean, essentially what you are doing is establishing a list of under-played decks that are supposed to be good, without (no offense intended) explaining anything more than their strategy (I mean, if they were really that awesome, a lot of people will play them.)

Completely agree, but maybe not. See there we go again.

@ You and BaseBall- Yes i understand your point. I am using this title as 1) lack of a better name(which i would love for both of you to come up with something better and 2) becuase it helps show what this thread is about.

I plan on making a list of possible decks for people to try out to spice up their game or their competition. This title 'Known Rogues' techincilly is not an oxymoron as a Rogue can be a rogue hidden or known. So not only are you inncorrect, in the nicest way mind, but i hope you agree to my reasoning.

If you can come up with a better name, be my quest. Until said time i believe the title shall stay.

@Tester- Just swarm? Is that the whole strategy? Would that just be 4-2-4 Swine and 2-2 claydol? What makes it fast? Please allow me to understand this deck a tad more, but i will add it!

Well, for starters you could spell the bad title correctly, "Rogues: A Helpful List On The Different". How does it help show what the thread it about? This has nothing to do with rogues at all. As for an accurate title, you could choose, "Seldom Seen Decks, and the Reasons Why". If you want to work on decks and their structure, take it to the proper place, the deck garage.

One of the central components to a rogue is the element of a suprise. The dictionary I have defines the word rogue as, "a deceitful and unreliable scoundrel". According to Pokegym, when rogue is used to describe a deck it's, "A deck that not only isn't an archetype, but is deliberately trying to do something different and unexpected." Deceit nor suprise can be acheived if you (and probably half of the other players on the planet) already know about them. I fail to see any "reasoning" behind what you wrote. From what I can tell, all you have done is stated an incorrect impression of the meaning of the term. Of course, I mean that "in the nicest way mind". You can see 21 other people agree with me here:| http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=45134&page=2 |.

So yes, it really doesn't make sense, and irregardless, you're posting in the wrong place to begin with.
 
RE: Rogues: A helpfull list on the diffrent

^Thank you.

Ok, i disagree, but you have helped me understand a few things better. Allow me to change the title.

Babeball if you dont see this as any bit helpful please say so, as i value people like you, i would just delete it.
 
This is not pointless, but if you are going to cover Rogues, I believe I covered a lot more than this ever will. If you are going to talk about underplayed decks, at least be a bit more elaborate.
 
I played this last season, so it is not legal, but it is unique and performed very well =)

Crantacles: Cradily HP with Scizor MD and Porygon2 GE, with no less than 17 supporters. It was really a combo of GG counter and Cradily awesomeness, plus Porygon2 setup.

I'm glad I could help. Now that people know what the discussion is about, it's more than fine.

Exactly.
 
Hurricane never showed up.
