Seniors BR Machamp-Donphan Deck

[13ulbasaur]

Hiyaz! 13ulbasaur here!

All of my TCG life, I've only ever made custom Grass type decks for the sake of fun, yet since they were my only decks I always used them in premier leagues like the nationals and stuff.

Well I have now decided I must make a real competitive deck and one mainly to kick those people who use things like LuxChomp (the deck I've never beaten before!) since from what I gathered a lot of people are going to use that deck for the BR. So I decided to try and make up a deck list, but me still being me and kinda bad at these real competitive deck lists, I thought I'd come here for some advice before I start trading with others to get the cards needed. <3

Here's the list~

===============Pokemon=====
3-2-3-1 Machamp SF
1-1 Donphan Prime
2 Ambipom G
1-1-1 Nidoqueen RR
2 Uxie LA
1 Azelf

Pokemon Total: 19 Cards


===============Trainers=====
1 Luxury Ball
4 Pokemon Communication
3 Pokemon Collectors
4 Bebe's Search
1 Palmer's Contribution
3 Super Scoop Up
3 Warp Point
3 Rare Candy
2 BTS
1 Pokemon Contest Hall
1 Stark Mountain

Trainer Total: 26 Cards

===============Energies=====
2 Call Energies
6 Fighting Energies
2 DCE

Energy Total: 10 Cards


------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

Well, like any Machamp deck, you'd want to throw Machamp onto the field before the opponent evolves his or her Pokemon.

This deck's main strategy is to beat the crap out of LuxChomp since I hate that deck oh so much, but of course I'll try to beat up other SP decks as well. Ambipom is there in the situation should Machamp not be ready yet, since most people use 1 Energy Gain and 2 Energies, in most cases the Garchomp C lv X would have no energies attached to it, letting Ambipom hit for 60x2=120 damage. Or if I'm against some evolved Pokemon with a weakness to colourless.

Donphan is there to mainly attack a leveled up Luxray G, which can use Earthquake for another 60x2=120 damage. But no need to fear about the damage counters, for Nidoqueen will be there to Comfort the Pokemon with Maternal Comfort. Plus of course Nidoqueen helps to keep Machamp alive. XD Other than that, Donphan can also help to attack other Pokemon that have already evolved since it's generally quite strong.

Uxie of course for draw power and Azelf for the possible 'Pokemon in the prize cards' moment. Stark Mountain in case I need to switch energies between my Pokemon, particularly to Machamp and Donphan. Pokemon Contest Hall to grab Pokemon in the case I would need help. DCE to help with Machamp Lv X and Ambipom G.


Uhm... any suggestions or advice? I'm still fairly new to real COMPETITIVE PLAY since I've mainly only played casual fun games. XD

Thanks everyone~

ambipom is overkill since machamp would already knock every sp out, so garchomp should never be a problem. sp is not the only deck that's around so you better concentrate on donphan (3-3) so you can also kick other decks with speed and donkpower then use a 2-2-2 line of machamp (for would you encounter an sp deck) and play 3 bts (also good against trainer lock). nidoqueen is not needed and will slow you down (you must play on speed with machamp and donphan and try to knock them out before you would be) and 4 bebe's and 4 communications is also too much better use 3 of each.
also leave the other stadiums they will do you no good since you must concentrate on bts and speed for this kind of deck
also dce and call are of no use
this deck needs alot of work you overdo some strategies and mix different styles of play.

you should
3-3 donphan or 4-4
2-2-2 machamp + if you really want the lvx add it but i wouldn't
3-1 uxie lvx

also
4 collector's
3 oaks new theory
3 bebe's
1 palmers

3 communication
3 bts

the rest is up to you

Thanks lots for your advice!

Yes, I fully understand what you mean.
One of my IRL friends also suggested kicking out Ambipom, which is exactly what I will do. And I suppose getting more Donphans would be good as well, now's the problem of getting those cards. XD

I'm not sure about getting the Uxie lv X, it's amazingly hard to get here. But once again, thanks lots for the advice.
