Zekrom donk deck (ZPST). Please help.

RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

year it might be an idea with Switch... Unfortunately I can't play against a Beartic deck before BR, so I'll just see if I am able to use it during play.

-1 Energy Retrieval

+1 Switch

Four days... BR is getting closer...
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

I really think that third Pachirisu is unnecessary because if you tested this deck enough you'll learn after the first Pachi/Shaymin drop you don't need or have the bench space to drop another. I'd like to fit PokeGear-Collector engine in there, but you look like you have enough consistency supporters that it really isn't needed. I also like defenders, especially for the mirror, I'm not sure what I'd take out, but just my opinion. I've tested with 4 SSU before, and they weren't really working enough for me. I'd take those out, but again that's up to you, this list is pretty solid already.

I don't like sages in this deck... I would prefer energy search. they are actually really helpful in this deck. They are an energy you can Junk arm for. So I would replace the three sages with energy search
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

@hipoke
I see your point about the Pachirisu and as I remember it havn't been that necessary. I don't think that PokéGear would be necessary either since I don't use supporters that could mean "life or death" like Collecter, but only three "booster" and eight hand-refreshers. Though Collectors are good I don't run them because they are supporters and because DualBall can be Junk Armed. Yet I havn't thought of Defenders, but I see that they truely might be helpful, so I'll see if it works. I like those SSU since they have been very helpful.

- 1 Pachirisu

+ 1 Defender

@ Sleeping Snorlax
Personally I think that Sage's is fine. I think that it is a bit much using Junk Arm for one energy.
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

three days left (Yikes I use up a lot of space with this countdown...)
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

two days...
I found out that I sometimes have a problem with getting energies when I need them. Do you think that I should try the Energy Search or use an other card (and which card(s) to take out)?
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

I think energy search would be a good idea, its helpful because you can junk arm it
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Okay I'll try out Energy Search. I'll try taking these cards out:
- 1 Sage's Training
- 1 Professor Oak's New Theory
- 1 {L} Energy
I thought that the Defender might not be able to protect me enough alone so I'll try to put in an other.
+ 2 Energy Search
+ 1 Defender
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

When Noble Victories comes out I would

-2 SSU
-2 Defender

+4 Eviolite
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Eviolite is a great idea for Zekrom Donk so I'll keep that one in mind for when Noble Victories comes out. Unfortunately I can't use it for BR.
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

So. Now is the last chance before BR. It's in seven hours. But of cause you are also welcome to post your idea(s) after BR :).
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Now I'm off for BR. Wish me good luck :).
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Good luck with your BR, I hope you'll do well! :) Tell us how you did with your current list! ;)
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

So now I'm back with good news :) We were around seven players (in Denmark there aren't many playing Pokémon TCG)(so we played without thinking of age divisions until the prize giving). I won 3 of 3 (with one bye), which means that I won in my age division.
Thank you for your help everyone. I couldn't have done it without you :).

I just wanted to show an imagine of a Victory Cup :D
My webcam isn't good so I just "lent" an imagine from Pokebeach.
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Remember that you are still more than welcome to help me with my deck :)
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZPST) for BR friday the 21. Need help.

Just wondering, what division are you in?

If your expecting Gothitelle, you might want to consider a tech.

Also, I play 3 Collectors/3Dual Balls.

Hope this helps

I'm master, but not long time ago I was senior. This BR was my first turnament (spelled?) as master.
Earlier I was against Collectors because of my many supporters, but with the supporters I have in the deck atm it truely might be an idea with some Collectors. Also because I had a rather amusing experience at the BR: In my "by" I trained against the leader of my league (he aren't allowed to compete). Then I somehow ended up getting eight tails in a row in one game. EIGHT TAILS!!! I'm happy that it only happened in that game... :D
I think there is no need to have both Dual Ball and Collector so I'll try to do like this (my Zekrom-Donk-playing-friends only need three Collectors so I guess it should be the same for me):
- 4 Dual Ball
+ 3 Collectors
+ 1 Switch
I thought that another Switch might be an idea since it doesn't only have to be a Beartic counter. It could also be used for retreating damaged or unlucky active pokémon.
I'm keeping Junk arm, that was really helpful for Dual Ball since it can get helpful for re-using cards like SSU, Plus Power and Energy Search.
 
I thought that Rocky Helmed might be useful against Gothitelle. Unfortunately it must be attached to Zekrom before Gothitelle gets out. When Gothitelle attack Zekrom, Gothitelle will get the 20 damage, and then I can knock it out with Bolt Strike. Gothitelle must attack first. If not Reuiniclus will just remove the damage, but it shouldn't be able to move the damage from Rocky Helmed before it's too late. Rocky Helmed also might be useful against other decks.
I'll put it into my deck when it may be played (even though I already got two, which should be enough...)
 
RE: Zekrom donk deck (ZTPS). Please help.

Since Noble Victories is now released I will add some eviolite. I'm still not sure about Rocky Helmed...

-2 Defender (I don't really need those since I got Eviolite)

+2 Eviolite (I only add two because they can be Junk Arm'ed (and isn't a one-time-use-card)
