Hi guys!
Recently, I bought a promo Shiny Silvally-GX card (so pretty!) and I tried to make a deck with the resources I have at the moment. I'll be participating in a Regional Championship here in Brazil in two weeks (for fun actually, bc I'm returning to the competitive play and I'm still getting used to it again) and I'm in doubt about
which deck I should use.
I made a "staple" Garchomp/Lucario/Cynthia deck with Lycanroc-GX (midnight) which is actually good to play (I'm still adjusting it, but it's fun to play in general), but Silvally-GX felt so much funnier that I'm considering taking it to the Regional.
Can you give me some suggestions?
Actual Decklist
Pokémon (14)
4 x Type: Null ULP 115
4 x Silvally GX ULP 116
3 x Registeel CRI 68
1 x Magearna UPR 91
1 x Dialga GX FLI 125
1 x Cobalion GX TEU 168
Trainer - Supporter (10)
1 x Professor Kukui
3 x Sophocles
1 x Cynthia
1 x Cyrus Prism Star
2 x Lillie
2 x Sightseer
Trainer - Others (23)
3 x Nest Ball
2 x Timer Ball
2 x Choice Band
2 x Energy Loto
1 x Rescue Stretcher
2 x Adventure Bag
2 x Fighting Memory
2 x Psychic Memory
2 x Fire Memory
2 x Water Memory
1 x Grass Memory
1 x Electric Memory
1 x Sky Pillar
Energy (13)
4 x Double Colorless Energy
9 x Metal Energy
Strategy
The star of the deck is Silvally-GX, so I structured the deck to make me use the full potential of the Memories and hit for Weakness (240 damage).Sophocles/Sightseer is here to help me filter the deck: after seeing the Weakness of the opponent's deck, I discard the Memories I won't be using and draw some cards for it, and discard Energies for Silvally's acceleration too.
I included a Cynthia if I need to refresh my hand but can't discard any cards at the moment, Cyrus Prism to disrupt the bench (and utilize the Steel-typing of the deck), Kukui for a bonus damage and Lillie for a chance of a good first turn.
For the Items, I included Nest/Timer Balls but I'm considering to switch them with Pokémon Communication (bc of the rotation). Choice Band for any other Pokémon than Silvally-GX, Adventure Bag to bring me the Memories, Sky Pillar for a chance to remove the opponent's Stadium (and boost the damage of Cobalion-GX). Energy Loto is here for a chance to bring me the DCE when I need it.
At last, for the other Pokémon, I chose Turbo Arm Registeel to compliment the Energy acceleration provided by Silvally-GX, Magearna to switch tools, Dialga-GX bc of the GX attack (that helped me A LOT when I was playing with my friends, and it can be powered up by the attacks of Silvally-GX), and Cobalion-GX for a situational use when facing status condition-based decks like Celebi/Venusaur TTGX and Alolan Muk/Muk TTGX. They are all Basic to take advantage of Silvally's Ability too.
The number of memories is based on the main decks of the format (Zoroark, Blacephalon, Steel-based decks, etc).
Thanks for the help!
