Typhlosion/Charizard Deck [Revised]

Hey guys. :) I am open for suggestions! Strategy at the bottom.


4 - 2 - 4 Charizard AR (10)
2 - 1 - 2 Typhlosion Prime (5)
2 - 2 Ninetales CoL (4)
1 - 1 Infernape 4 lv x (2)
4 Spiritomb AR (4)

Pokemon: 25

3 Broken Time Space
3 Pokemon Collector
3 Rare Candy
3 Energy Search
3 Switch
2 Expert Belt
2 Fisherman
2 Pokemon Communication
2 Professor Oak's New Theory
1 Palmer's Contribution

T/S/S: 24

11 Fire Energy

Energy: 11

Basic Strategy with this deck: Fill up Bench with {R} types, and let Charizard do the dirty work. ( {R} energy for 80 damage, {R}{R}{C} for 130. o_O) This deck relies on Ninetales for drawpower. Spiritomb AR is obviously here to help set-up Charizard, Typhlosion and Ninetales. It also reduces the importance of Pokemon Communication in this deck, allowing for a lesser count. Pokemon Collector/Broken Time Space/Rare Candy are self explanatory.

I LOVE Infernape 4 lv X. It serves as a Pokemon switcher without wasting your turn in contrast with Blaziken FB.

I am currently looking for a better energy accelerator. Energy search have a sub par effect, would like to see a better option!

Any other thoughts are welcome.
 
RE: Typhlosion/Charizard Deck

^I disagree. Typhlosion is there to get back the energy you just discarded. The Blaziken FB X is the thing you do not need in here. There is absolutely nothing to get it set up, so you can make a 3-3-3 Charizard line, and add 4 Spiritomb AR. It is great for locking your opponent and getting set-up. The no weakness helps too.
 
RE: Typhlosion/Charizard Deck

you can only have 4 of the same name of the card 3-2 blaziken fb all share the same name replace 1 blaziken fb for expert belt
 
RE: Typhlosion/Charizard Deck

-2 Flower Shop Lady
+2 Fisherman

For set up with Ninetales, and you already run Palmer's.

-3 - 2 Blaziken FB LV. X
-1 - 1 Heatran LV. X

You should be attacking with Charizard quickly.

+2 - 2 Ninetales HS

Really fast set up.

-1 Interviewer's Questions
+2 Bebe's Search
+2 Cyrus' Conspiracy

More consistent.
 
RE: Typhlosion/Charizard Deck

You wish you could run a 3-2 line, but unfortunately, you can't. If you want to run Blaziken FB it has to either be 3-1 or 2-2.
 
RE: Typhlosion/Charizard Deck

^Or less. This is because each Pokemon has a Lv. next to its name, and for some Pokemon it's a number, while for others it's an X (As in the Pokemon LV. X). The Pokemon that are Level X are the same Pokemon, and so are restricted by the 4 Cards in a deck rule, but are just different cards of the same Pokemon.
 
Editted! Feel free to post better ideas and comments!
Thanks everyone for the quick reply! The Deck list is now revised.
 
Too many trainers, too few supporters to fetch your key evolutions. Also, I find in this deck Warp Point > Switch, but that's me.

My suggestions:
-3 Switch
-3 Energy Search
+2 Warp Point
+2 Bebe's Search
+2 Fire Energy

In the days of trainer lock, energy search isn't worth it. I also believe Looker's > PONT but that's again a matter of taste. The option of disrupting seems worth the card to me.
 
I for one would like to know why you run Energy Search. Any even obvious or simple reason. Just one.

Also replace all Switches with Bebe's Searches.
 
I have not really play tested with this deck, but I usually run 14ish energies. I have 11 in this one and it feels like a bit thin. I'm afraid that I won't be drawing enough energies. Also, it should be able to help in conjunction with Ninetales' pokepower. Like I said in the original post, is there a better option when it comes to drawing energies?
Ninja Edit: I only have 11 Fire energies in my possession atm. (lol) :(

Also, I am aware of Bebe's Search. I was initially thinking of using it, but the deck is already running with 3 Pokemon Collectors, 2 Pokemon Communications, 4 Spiritombs. Aren't these cards enough for consistency?

Yes, I do agree with -3 Switch, +3 Warp Point. I just don't have enough Warp Points atm. :( Will definitely take these into action!

Thanks a lot for the awesome feedbacks! I'm still open for more criticisms and suggestions!
 
toffeefi:

When is a good time when you would like to draw an Energy Search? A hypothetical situation is what I'm looking for.

Also, to answer your question frankly, no. It is not.

Finally, Fire Energy are easy to trade for if you need to play in an official tournament, but if you aren't then you can just put in any other Basic Energy and just let your opponent know that all of the Basic Energy are Fire Energy. This is a form of Proxying.
