I agree with Kamato, I don't think we will see much of a difference until after rotation. But I am intrigued on what is going to happen post-rotation. I haven't played competitively for long, so this will be a complete change for me.
I personally think you are going to want more than 1 or 2 Float Stones, just because Volcanion-EX cannot attack on its second turn. Being able to rotate them out would help you if you have to attack with them. You are going to want 4 Trainers' Mail - that has become a staple for any deck. I...
I guess I'll bring the thread back to life for a second. I'm newer to PokeBeach, so I'm going through some of the older forums. Nice to "meet" you all!
When I was a teenager I broke my ankle from slipping on ice. I broke it up the bone instead of through it, and did a lot of nerve damage. That is (thankfully) the only break I've ever had. It still gives me problems though, which is annoying.
I tried to run this deck pre rotation and I had the hardest time making it viable. The concept is beautiful, but it is just hard to do - especially with Garbodor. I went against a M Alakazam deck with Garbodor (they ran it with Ampharos from SS which I thought was interesting, and I had a hard...
Four things about this:
1. That Alolan Muk is super cool looking.
2. Kommo-o is totally going on my team for the Elite Four.
3. Ribombee is adorable.
4. Can this game just come out already? I'm tired of the suspense!
I love the M Slowbro-EX and Slowbro-EX artwork! Slowbro is so cute. I don't see it getting much competitive play, but if it does I want to see it paired with Walk-Off Homer Slowbro for giggles.
The artwork is super different. It will take some getting used to, but I still think it's cute. I hope to see Meowth still with Jessie and James! I'll be really sad if he isn't in the new anime.
I kind of like Bisharp in that deck, because you can still attack with it if you have no other choice. That and Galvantula. Do you run the Vulpix-Ninetails line?
Right now my main deck is Darkrai/Giratina/Garbodor, and it has been doing a really good job for me. I usually rank in the top 3 with it currently (going solid 3-1 or 4-0). I have a Gardevoir Despair Ray + Giratina deck built up as well, but I am waiting for Evolutions before I drag it back out...
