Hey guys. Been working on this deck on PTCGO and have had a lot of success so far. Was wondering how you all felt about it and if you had any suggestions.

Pokemon:
  • 4 Manectric EX
  • 3 M Manectric EX
  • 1 Shaymin EX
  • 1 Hoopa EX
  • 1 Dialga EX
  • 1 Aegislash EX
  • 1 Heatran (PHF)
  • 1 Registeel (AOR)
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums:
  • 4 Professor Sycamore
  • 2 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 2 Shauna
  • 2 AZ
  • 1 Tierno
  • 1 Lysandre
  • 1 Team Flare Grunt
  • 1 Xerosic
  • 3 VS Seeker
  • 3 Ultra Ball
  • 2 Professor's Letter
  • 2 Battle Compressor
  • 1 Switch
  • 1 Escape Rope
  • 3 Manectric Spirit Link
  • 1 Head Ringer
  • 3 Roaring Seas
  • 1 Steel Shelter
Energy:
  • 3 Double Colorless Energy
  • 1 Flash Energy
  • 4 Lightning Energy
  • 5 Metal Energy
Strategy:

Dialga is a great heavy hitter, but also his Chrono Wind attack can be a great starter and give your opponent some headaches. Aegislash gets some easy energy from DCE or M Manectric when there's an opportunity for his use. Registeel is a new addition, and the second non-EX attacker is so helpful. His attack can be a great T2 against Toad and Sceptile.

Your trainer line is spread thin, your thinking more about match-ups and less about the consistency of your list losing to those matchups due to lack of consistency, also 1 flash energy? The fact that you can't actually search for special energy just makes it more of a blunder in the typing matchup, even if you have the graces of god if you play the matchup 6 out of ten times minimum you'll lose due to not drawing the energy, 2-3 or 4 not 1 there is just no consistency.


  • 3 Professor Sycamore
  • 3 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 2 Shauna
  • 2 AZ
  • 1-2 hex maniac
  • 1-2 Lysandre
  • 2 Enhanced hammer (better coverage against multiple match-ups)
  • 4 VS Seeker (needed for consistency)
  • 4 Ultra Ball (needed for consistency)
  • 1 megaphone
  • 1 Professor's Letter
  • 3 Switch
  • 4 Manectric Spirit Link (most of the time you would rather AZ cards back to your hand, the healing function is convenient for mega man)
  • 3 Rough seas.
I put in more item cards and combo'd it with hex maniac, in truth if vileplume is an issue in your standard format this is the best way to counter it, if giratina is an issue, more hex maniac and more e hammer, it really isn't a hard deck to beat. Why less sycamore? because you don't need to burn through your hands that often, same with battle compressor there is no reason to discard energy or supporters when you can easily do that with 1 profs letter and 4 ultra ball which offer better search synergy and a faster hoopa or shaymin search.
