banuffin said:Cloggerdude - his trainer lock started on T2 at best? Then he's not playing Vilegar correctly. Vilegar should have a lock right off the bat, especially if you're playing Spritibomb AR and Gastly SF. You're bound to start with one of them at least most of the time and lock the entire game once Vileplume is setup.
I actually misspoke; he did have a ghastly on turn one and got the trainer lock up. What I meant to say was that he got Vileplume up on turn two. Now that I think back on the match, he actually had the trainer lock up the entire game, as I never bothered with attacking his Plume.
That being said, I did start with two Arceus and a Pokemon collector, so the trainer lock really wasn't that big of a deal. I drew into an Omniscient lvl. X, which also helped the cause as well. As I mentioned before, I've got a feeling that the result could/will be much different in future games.
