RE: Why Seismitoad in Yveltal
No one plays lugia or pyroar now ...they are forgotten decks (mainly because of manectric). Also pyroar is not as hard as it seems , you can always lysandre when their are litleo ...you know, we dont have broken time space in format xD. And if they don't put any...
RE: Why Seismitoad in Yveltal
1- Float & Darkrai: Darkrai is never redundant, since darkrai is not only an ability, but a great attacker, specially thinking that it has another weakness than yveltal 10 more hp (sometimes that hp makes a huge difference), and is the only one in the deck capable...
Its not the same thing for every country... in argentina, for example, you must first win an event like league challenges,cities, states, regionals...
in most of the other countries, i think, is an open thing, and you only must pay the inscription.
Im seriously thinking about adding leafeon to my yveltal deck.
Primal kyogre = grass weakness + 4 energy cost
Seismitoad = grass weakness
Primal groudon (not the most playable) = grass weakness+ 4 energy cost
Gardevoir= darkness resistance + needs almost 5 energy in play (+ muscle band)...
About the fairy thing.. the best option is always seismitoad. They can't max potion, then next turn death by evil ball. Loading so much energies in one yveltal is a high risk you can't affort without dark patch.
i would make the deck more focused (only a preference)
4 xerneas (you really want to start with him)
3-3 gardevoir
3-2 aromatisse
im not sure about birch... the average draw would be 5,5 and the max 10 , is not as good as colress IMO
also you really want dowsing machine in this deck, since you...
yveltal Ex isn't by far the biggest problem of this deck
zekrom+hard charm makes magic numbers, yveltal needs 4 energies + muscle band +laser + virbank for only one prize (hard charm because without it he can y-cyclone+band+laserbank)
your biggest problem is darkrai-ex , there is no consistent...
manectric EX is such a good card, since we have tools that can be attached to the opponent pokemon
and yveltal keeps going strong in metagame
120 for just 2 energy is very cheap, also you can start setting future KOs with overrun + muscle band (add laser for magic numbers)
M manectric is great...
