I want to make a Raichu deck for the season, but here's the question what are the basic lines you NEED in a Raichu deck?
 
RE: What do I need?

Well i would think wrong tread but of well :)

Any who

4-3-1 Rachui X (MT Pickacu)
2-2 Electrivre

And night mantnince. Thats all i can think of at the momant sorry. :(
 
RE: What do I need?

I knew I would somehow post this in the wrong thread. :p

Dr.E: Should I use Pichu?

Ryuu: Thanks for the info. :)

Okay here's a few more questions before I build the deck. Does it need Claydol? How long will it last, without a counter? Will it still be able to live once Claydol goes down? How expensive would it be to make a good one?
 
RE: What do I need?

the only thing that's really necessary is probably the riachu line and energy's, while techs include everything from rayquaza to bronzong.
 
RE: What do I need?

Okay so far I'm thinking for the pokemon,

4-4-3-1 Raichu line
2-2 Bronzong Line (which bronzor do you think is safer?)
2-2-1 Electivire Line

For the trainers,

4 Night Maintenance
4 Roseanne's
4 Energy Switch
4 Energy Link
4 Bebe's

What's missing in here that is absolutely needed, and what's in here that absolutely needs removed?
 
RE: What do I need?

lol for your information that line was the same whole idea as mine!I tech'ed in an azelf to avoid my precious raichu X prized
 
RE: What do I need?

2-4-3-1 chu. You don't need 4 pichu ever. 2 is more then enough to have the option of pika's power at any time. Vire or bronzong, not both. Vire is probably you're safer bet, because you should be able to net 2 energy easily. Claydol>bronzong. 15-16 energy. Trainers:
4 Roseanne's
4 Bebe's
1 Luxury ball
1 Permier ball
2 Night Maitence
2-3 CQ
Draw cards
Warp Points, pokedrawer+, etc.
 
RE: What do I need?

This sounds real stupid but, what was CQ again?

I want to make this deck last for next season to, since I never seem to have much money to make a good deck. So do I need Claydol? How expensive is the deck when ranged? And which one will be better for each season Bronzong, or Vire?
 
RE: What do I need?

CQ is... I have no clue.

Claydol is one of the last things you should put in your deck. Bronzong should be used if you want to use Voltage Shoot, and Electivire is for Explosive Orb. Completely your choice.
 
RE: What do I need?

Okay thanks for all the advice so far. :) But my main question I've been asking is how expensive is this deck?

Sorry for asking so many questions but there's also one more. Should I use TSD?

Conductive Quarry from Stormfront. It's a Stadium card...

If you are looking to just buy the deck then you will end up paying a price as Raichu is one of-if not the most expensive Lv.X ATM. Claydol also costs quite a bit but with less and less Claydol around than before you shouldn't have any trouble buying a couple for 20 or so...

If you are looking to trade and buy the packs then you could in theory end up with a better cost for everything. If you are willing to trade some Lv.X's then you could probably get a Raichu quickly from someone who isn't playing it. The Claydols always vary when trading at leagues and such. I personally wouldn't trade my Claydols for a human heart, but I have seen Claydols go for as small as a 1-1 Raticate from SW.

TSD is an option for this deck. Either way you end up having similar consistancy in your ability to cycle. I would say yes unless you add in another Premier Ball. If you want to keep the cost down then you could live without TSD.

This deck isn't AMU or anything but getting the cards will cost a pretty penny. I would say that you could try to trade away some cards to make this deck. Good Luck.

Okay thanks for all the helpful advice everyone. :)
