Pokemon 9
Strategy
Updated:
Changed stuff around based on suggestions. I decided to have at least 1 Genesect just in case my G Booster is prized in the Safeguard or Klingklang matchup. I decided to go with plasma freeze Tornadus EX since he is already a Team Plasma Pokemon and does not have the fire weakness. I can also accelerate him quickly with Colress Machine.
The strategy is simple, use Virizion EX to power up my attackers and protect them from lasers. Genesect EX is the main attacker, and his ability allows me to use more catchers, essentially. Genesect is a tech against Suicune and Sigilyph, and call for family is helpful too. Tornadus is a tech against fire decks and Haxorus. Genesect and Tornadus are also good attackers that ignore Silver Mirror. In terms of Supporters, I maxed out on Juniper because it is simply the best card, and Skyla since this deck is reliant on trainers. Caitlin is a pretty good supporter as it allows you to put stuff you don't want on the bottom of the deck instead of shuffling it back in the deck. That way you know you won't end up drawing the same cards again, which could happen with N. However N is a necessity, if only to mess with your opponent when your opponent has few prizes left. I have Shadow Triad mainly to get back G Booster if it is discarded, but in a pinch could get me another Plasma Energy or Genesect EX. I thought that G Booster would be the best Ace Spec to use since this deck has lots of ways to search, and G Booster is needed for crucial knockouts and helps in case my techs are unavailable. 4 Catcher and Ultra Ball are obvious, and I decided to add an Plasma Ball since a little extra search never hurt. Tool Scrapper is important for Silver Mirror, Silver Bangle, Float Stone, and G Booster. Super Rod is good when I'm running low on energy. Since Emerald Slash gets grass energy from the deck, it is preferable to something like Energy Retrieval. Skyarrow Bridge is crucial, as it gives everyone free retreat. All my attackers have a retreat cost of 1. Verdant Wind protects from paralysis and sleep too, so I have a lot of freedom when choosing who I want to attack with.
I fixed your formatting of the deck list. Please use this format in the future.~KA
