[4te]

below is the current list of official copies that I own within the deck.

1 Mewtwo EX

1 Super rod
3 Pokemon Communication
2 Level Ball
2 Ultra Ball
4 Rare Candy
3 Hypnotoxic Laser


Supporters 9

2 Colress
2 N
3 Skyla
2 Juniper

Energies 12

9 Darkness
3 DCE

Current Play Test:
3-1 against Keldeo variants
2-2 against Darkrai/Sableye
1-1 against Hydreigon
1-0 against Garbordor
N/A against Klinglang variants


Status:

3/2/13- Chances of mulligans, 68.75% (actual math here). Consistency has improved but turn 1 starts are still bad at times. Dropping energy for supporters.

3/6/13- Solosis... why is your HP 30?! must find a third Solosis or hope they make one with 40HP. Teching in one super rod/revive

3/10/13- Togekiss is able to appear at most times turn 2 or 3. Rare cases have been turn 4. Reuniclus on the other hand is iffy. When together, Togekiss takes a lot of work to be K.O. by opponents. Replacing Zekrom for Kyurem avoiding fighting type weakness.

What's the strategy? And don't say tank with Togekiss since literally half the format OHKO's you.

I completely agree with [member]Mora[/member]. This deck is worse than Gothitelle, and Gothitelle is TERRIBLE!!!

If he were going for tanking, wouldn't he just go with Regibliss or Cresselia Sigilyph? O-o

sadly yes. it is somewhat of a tanking tactic but with some force. The idea with this deck is to move damage off of togekiss to Reshiram and/or Zekrom for outrage. At first glance this deck looks bad and a very odd setup, but it has proven itself decent. once switched out for my main hitters, I'm an open book to be written on by catchers, HTL's, escape rope, etc.

You are correct that roughly half of the format can OHKO me (especially turn one) that is why I ask for your help.
This deck has been tested and its main problem as of now are turn one setups.

RE: Togekiss for states

I would just take out Togekiss for Regigigas. He's big, and he benefits from having damage on him. Without Togekiss, you're open to Catcher. You can choose to either accept that and run a lot of recovery and things like Rescue Scarf, use Gothitelle as the main attacker over Togekiss, or not run Reuniclus altogether. Regardless of what you do, it should involve taking out the Togekiss, which would free up some space for Supporters and consistency. I would at least add 2 N, 1 Skyla, 1 Juniper. I would also swap the Super Scoop Ups for Max Potions.

No. Blissey Prime rotated a very long time ago, and Cresselia as a main attacker? Hardly seems viable. Most people would think Darkrai/Hydreigon with tanking, but of course there is room for creativity, and the creativity here is appreciated.
