Stage 1 Toolbox (Cinccino/Zoroark/Yanmega)

[godzillab10]

This is by far my new favorite deck I've made. It runs smooth and it's nice and speedy.
The strategy is simple. Swarm with high-power stage one. Bench Stays full 99% of the time and hardy ever gets less than 3 starters so getting Donked is rare. Sableye (UD) gets your DCE back with Pullout. (he's in there until Recycle comes to the US). Judges and Copycat provide Yanmega Support. I only run 2 collectors. I dont know what it is about me but if I use more than 2 they flood me, guess it's just my luck but 2 does me well.

Total 60

Pokemon 19

3-3 Cinccino
2-2 Zoroark
2-2 Yanmega
2 Bouffalant (Revenge)
2 Cleffa
1 Sableye UD

Energy 12

4x {C}{C}
4x Sp.{D}
4x {D}

Tranier/Support 29

2x Prof. Juniper
2x Poke Collector
2x Seeker
2x Copycat
3x Judge
2x Elm's Training Method
2x Oak's New Theory
2x Junk Arm
3x Plus Power
1x Dual Ball
2x Switch
3x Poke Communication
2x Super Scoop-Up
1x Energy Exchanger


I can't help but think it's missing something though. The deck does fine but has too many close calls. (DonChamp obviously is an auto loss and until Pokemon catcher is released Scizor is a big problem.) Just wanting tips on what to do when Emerging Powers comes out as well as things I can do in the meantime.

No Donphan prime? I think you should add it like this:
+3-3 Donphan prime
+5 fighting energy
+1 Cleffa
+1 Tyrogue
-2 sp darks
-3 darks
-1 Bouffalant
-1 sableye
-2 Elms
-2 Juniper
-1-1 Cinccino

I will add the reasons later.

It sounds like you have good luck`with the build you have but I usually run 4-4 CinCinno in my build for more consistency. I will look over your deckbuild again to give you recommendations on what to remove if u are interested.

P.S. i would recommend first off that you respectfully decline someones suggestions instead of being so hostile when someone offers suggestions for your deck. u did post your build on a public forum so u are bound to get suggestions u dont like. I dont see many more people posting if u continue doing such.

EDIT: Possibly remove one PETM (I run it like the new luxury ball so I treat it as such in my decks running one) aand either one darkness nrg or superscoop up to add the extra Cincinno and Mincinno to your line.

yea i didnt mean to snap like that. I've just had Donphan suggested so much and no matter how much I say that I know it's a bad idea because I don't need Earthquake killing off my low HP Pokemon, it just keeps coming back like a cold.

I do extend my apology to Tyranodon. and I thank you for trying to help.

I actually had it at 4-4 originally. and it did ok. I took it out to put the Sableye in there so I can get 1 or 2 DCE back and the other space went to the Energy Exchanger for obvious reasons. I thought about removing one of the Judges so I think I may try that as well as removing a PETM and go back to 4-4 and see how it does.

Have you considered Unknown Dark from Undaunted? Grab that needed special dark nrg in a pinch. Just a thought and it only benifits you for more pokemon on the bench.
Also, I think you are crazy(to put it soft) that you dont run 4 Collectors in a Cinccino build. But hey if its working for you then I guess I cant convince you other wise.
