US Nationals 2012

I'd almost guarantee the tier list will be this for Nats-
Tier 1
Eelektrik w/ Raikou or Zekrom or both
Fighting deck w/ Terrakion+EXP Share+backup attacker(not empoleon, sorry to shoot down that idea but i haven't had any positive testing w/ it yet)
Tier 1.5
CMT
Darkrai
Durant
Tier 2
Empo Variants
Zone Variants
Tier 3
Trainer lock-when someone can show me one that doesn't rely on fliptini or Reuniclus i'll pay attention
 
Yeah, I'm keeping with Zekrom Eels but I will probably swap out the Zekrom EX for a Raikou EX, what do you guys think?

Poor Vileplume...getting thrown into Tier 3 because of lack of support. Anyway, why throw CMT into Tier 2 and not Tier 1 or 1.5?

Both, maybe 2-3 each. 3 Raikou EX, 2 Zekrom EX. Thats what I would do.


I have an idea (Warning, rogue idea alert), maybe Empoleon+Leavanny? Leavanny would get rid of Empoleons weakness, so he couldnt be taken down so easily. Plus it could use Tornadus or Tornadus EX to take out other pokemon, and its {L} weakness would also be gone.
 
^That is way to many EX's IMO, but I will probably do 2 Raikou EX and no Zek EX

Not really too many, you dont have to play them all. But running a bunch makes it easier to get them faster. Only using 2 Raikou makes it harder to keep up a swarm unless you run Revive.

can you enter the TCG regionals and still do tghe VG as well?

TCG Regionals have already ended, sorry. :(

You could do that this year, though. The top cut for TCG just overlapped with the VG swiss.

P.S. This probably should have been asked here or as its own thread in the regionals section, not in a thread about Nationals. :p

I disagree with both, it's waaaay to clunky. Raikou needs more room for Skyarrow, whereas the Zekrom EX build doesn't need it.
 
So a Raikou deck that counts on being able to use Raikou's Volt Bolt attack turn after turn should only use 2 Raikou? I think it should at least use 3 and maybe 2-3 Revive incase they get discarded.
 
There shouldn't be a build based around Raikou. Why would you ever use a sniper as your main attacker when you can just use Catcher? It's only good as a tech.

^Agreed. I never said you shouldn't run 3 Raikou, although now I am lol. If it counted on using Volt Bolt every turn, it'd be pretty bad. Think about all of the setup needed there. 2-3 Eels, Raikou active, Raikou benched...We're talking about a format where most decks run 4 Catcher.
 
I think that Raikou Eels (while a fun idea) is just really ONLY a fun idea. Because again, 3 eels constantly. CATCHER PEOPLE
 
Finally know what I'll be wearing.
A black Tee with a blazing Hunger Games Mickingjay pin picture on the front with jeans. Also will have a Dusknoir pin on the front.
Try to find me :p
 
I'll be going, anyone from pokebeach make sure you say hi

Imma goin. 2nd time, first time I failed. But now, I won't Mwahaha. And I will donk Glaceon Round 9 so he gets pushed out of cut. Revenge.
Probably going to play either:
ZekEels
Something Rogue I suppose.....
and I actually may play KFV2 for the lolz. Still considering.
 
aw man this sucks, I wont be able to go due to lack of funds :(

oh well, I watch live battle videos from nats at least...
