the best LeafRade deck "Unlimited" (Leafeon and Roserade)

Here is my LeafRade Deck, based on the combination of Leafeon and Roserade:

Pokemon 24:
4 Eevee (MD 62)
2 Leafeon (UD 17)
1 Leafeon LV X (MD 99)
2 Roselia (SF 72)
2 Roserade (UL 23)
2 Houndour (UD 54)
2 Houndoom Prime (UD 82)
2 Shaymin (UL 8)
1 Shaymin LV X (PL 126)
1 Shaymin LV X (PL 127)
1 Bronzor (SF 55)
1 Bronzong (SF 13)
1 Azelf (LA 19)
2 Espeon (MD 18)

T/T/S 22:
3 Pokemon Communication
3 Pokemon Collector
3 Professor Oak's New Theory
2 Seeker
1 Flower Shop Lady
2 Expert Belt
1 Luxury Ball
3 Energy Exchanger
2 Bebe's Search
2 Interviewer's Question

Energy 14:
5 Grass
3 Psychis
4 rainbow
2 Call Energy

Total = 60

Basic Strategy:
The main strategy is to get Leafeon and Roserade to play as soon as possible. Roserade's Energy Signal Poke-Power can increase Leafeon's Miasma Wind attack greatly. The point is to get the opponent "suffer" by multiple special conditions so Leafeon will be able to 1HKO or 2HKO most of the opponent's pokemon for 1 energy.

Techs:
* Houndoom Prime line is for its Fire Breath Poke-Power, to add one more possible special condition to affect the opponent's defending pokemon.

* Shaymin (UD 8 and PL 127) are great for moving energy to Roserade to foison & confuse the opponent on 1 turn. Shaymin (PL 127) is also a great revenger with its Revenge Seed Poke-Body. Shaymin (PL 126) adds 40 HP to all of my main attacker lines with its Thankfulness Poke-Body. Shaymin (UD 8) can also heal all pokemon that have energy by 30 damage with Energy Bloom.

* Bronzong is good for searching for energy (no need to add much)

* Azelf is to find key pokemon that are hiding in the prizes area (just in case)

* Espeon adds 20 HP to leafeon (it will be so awesome when on the bench with Shaymin LV X PL 126)

* Call Energy (to call the basic stages of the key attacker lines or useful techs)
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

Please add "Unlimited" to the deck title.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

Because the default format for any deck posted in this deck garage is Modified, i.e. HGSS-on. Your deck is in the MD-CoL format, which was last year's Modified format, and is now part of Unlimited.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

Ok I changed it :) But do you have any comments or suggestions for the deck itself?
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

Why not use rainbow Energy instead of Grass/Psychic? It does both actions at the same time and you can still attach more energy.

-2 Grass
-2 Psychic

+4 Rainbow.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

what do you say about -2 Broken Time-Space and -2 grass for 4 rainbow? (I think BTS isn't a really good card in this deck especially against magneboar deck or any deck that has vileplume in it)
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

Why? Then it would take more time to set up your stage 2s and techs. If you seeker up blissey without BTS then it would take 2 turns to use it again.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited"

Ok... But it also speeds up trainer locks and magnezone's arrival or other strong pokemon of the opponent It could be dangerous
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

...why run Miasma Leafeon? The RR Leafeon's a lot better in pretty much every way, because of how much of a tank it is. That way, you can focus more on that, and you won't even need to run Blaziken (which really looks like it's taking up space), and possibly even nix Roserade. Then again, Roserade's a good card regardless.

And because of Leafeon RR's healing effect, you might not even need to run Blissey. I've seen this deck before with Leafeon, and Expert Belt actually works very nicely with it. Surprisingly enough, so does Feraligatr Prime (so you can Rain Dance, and after that Verdant Dance will just destroy everything).

If you want to keep with the current strategy, however, I'd trim Blaziken down to 1-1-1 (or 1-0-1), get rid of the DCE and Psychic for Rainbows (for Roserade), and have all the Eevees as the MD variety (Call for Family to fill up your Bench with Eevees? Yes please). There are other changes possible but those are just a few I mentioned.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

I like leafoen UD 17 better because it can do a lot of dammage for 1 energy. And if the defending pokemon doesn't have any special condition Leafeon UD 17 can put it to sleep. (Roserade and Blaziken lines can help too with their poke-powers)
And the other type of Eevee can help me get Leafeon and Espeon more easyly.

I'm trying to make a few changes to the deck and I will publish it when I'm done
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

And if the defending pokemon doesn't have any special condition Leafeon UD 17 can put it to sleep.
If the Defending Pokemon is Confused or Paralyzed, Asleep will override that regardless. Poison and Burn are independent of sleep also.

I agree the RR one is good, so you might want to go either 3 MD-1 RR, or 2 MD-2 RR. Any more RR would be wasted space.
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

I will included that in my changes. Thanx for your help :)
By the way, if I attach to Roserade UL ainbow energy can I still activate its Poke-Power?

Edit:
Here are the changes I've made in my deck:


Pokemon 21:
3 Eevee (MD 62)
1 Eevee (RR 59)
2 Leafeon (UD 17)
2 Leafeon (RR 45)
2 Budew (SF 33)
2 Roselia (SF 72)
2 Roserade (UL 23)
3 Cleffa (HGSS 17)
2 Houndour (UD 54)
2 Houndoom (UD 82)

T/T/S 25:
1 Misama Valley
3 Pokemon Communication
3 Pokemon Collector
3 Twins
3 Professor Oak's New Theory
2 Seeker
2 Fisherman
1 Palmer's Contribution
3 Roseanne's Research
2 Copycat
2 Judge

Energy14:
4 Grass
4 Psychis
2x double colorless
4x rainbow

Total = 60

Is it better? I added the Houndoom line to add one more special condition to the deck to max Leafeon's Misama Wind attack.
Edit: I've played this deck and it's really good but it has a low HP problem. How can I overcome that?
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

By the way, if I attach to Roserade UL ainbow energy can I still activate its Poke-Power?
Yes. You activate its power at the time of attaching the energy card to it.

I really think you could get rid of Fisherman. I don't believe Fishman is needed considering the deck doesn't really discard Basic Energies for the most part. That is more of a card you would put in a deck that has Reshiram in it since it discards many Basic Energy Cards. This would allow you to be able to run 4 Seeker so you would be able to use Roserade's Poke-Power more frequently with Rainbow Energy. I also think the Judges could be replaced with VS Seeker. This lets you get a Supporter Card back from your Discard Pile. I'd also recommend changing the 2 DCE's to Call Energy for increased consistency. This will allow you to search for up to 2 Basic Pokemon and place them on your bench. It works great even though using that effect ends your turn.

Take Out:
2 Fisherman
2 Judge
2 DCE

Add In:
2 Seeker
2 VS Seeker
2 Call Energy

I think this deck is a little heavy and full of techs but I find them all helpful for the deck strategy..
What do you say?
 
RE: What do you say about this deck? "Unlimited" (Needs main Pokemon from deck in title)

You need to put the updated decklist in the first post.
