A weird deck that sprung from another deck discussion.
I call it Burning Musical Chairs, since it needs a funny name to go with the funny deck.
Pokemon
  • 3-3 Ninetales DRX
  • 2-2 Volcarona DEX
  • 3 Heatmor PLS
  • 1 Victini Ex

  • 4 Professor Juniper
  • 4 N
  • 3 Skyla
  • 1 Bianca
  • 1 Shadow Triad
  • 2 Virbank CIty Gym
  • 4 Hypnotoxic
  • 2 Level Ball
  • 2 Ultra Ball
  • 2 Tool Scrapper

Strategy

Basic strategy is to start off with Heatmor and use luring flame to spread some damage while making my opponent burn switches and energy to retreat and get out Volcarona to increase burn damage. Then bring out Ninetales to finish everything off with hex flame powered by burn, and hypnotoxics.

Main issues are the top tier decks of course. Darkrai with free retreat, Keldeo for free retreat, and virizion to prevent status effects. Not to mention any water deck for that matter.

I feel like this deck could really use Victini Ex and victory piece. The ability to OHKO virizion is a great help.

Either way any thoughts on this awkward deck?
 
RE: VolcaronaDEX/NinetalesDRX

This looks surprisingly familiar....

You have 2x Max potion listed twice. Are you running 2 or 4?
 
RE: VolcaronaDEX/NinetalesDRX

Oh I did post it twice. lol thx. Also I told you in your thread, I liked the overall deck idea that spawned from yours and that I was going to make a thread for it. I think that Arcanine and Volcarona are pretty good cards and seem like that they have good synergy. But the main issue is the energy requirement of Arcanine. Its just too high without energy acceleration. Sure you can hide behind Arcanine, but burn damage isn't too threatening since it requires flip and they could just mow down Arcanine and then switch next turn.

Just to let you know, status effects are generally not good to build around in this meta. The 3 of the most used Exs remove or are immune to status effects. Without being able to use Garbodor. This deck just flops against those.

Either way
-2 Max Potion
- Dowsing Machine

+Victini Ex
+ Victory Piece
+ Fire Energy

I could probably use another Victini or 2.
 
RE: VolcaronaDEX/NinetalesDRX

I don't disagree, like i said mine is just to attempt to make Arcanine playable.

I would recommend dropping the DCE, you only 1 fire energy to get your main attacks off. I only had them in my deck for setting up moltress (who I have dropped) that'll give you the space for the other victinis you want.
 
RE: VolcaronaDEX/NinetalesDRX

I end up having to use volcarona as an attacker quite a bit. it needs that DCE. This deck is far from being good atm. lol. Its just kinda funny. Could work in the catcherless format soon to come. Or well less useful catchers.
