Hi guys,
I have my first LC of the season in just over a month, and it is gonna be expanded, unlike most of the other LCs. So I have made a rough list of what I intend to play for the event.
Pokemon (13)
2 Yveltal (XY; 78)
2 Yveltal EX(XY; 79)
2 Yveltal(BRT; 94)
1 Gallade(BRT; 84)
1 Archeops(NVI; 67)
1 Shaymin EX(ROS; 77)
1 Jirachi EX(PLB; 60)
1 Darkrai EX(DE; 63)
1 Keldeo EX(BW; 61)
1 Darkrai EX(BRP; 74)
Trainer (36)
4 Battle Compressor(PHF; 92)
4 Dark Patch(DE; 93)
4 Ultra Ball (DE; 102)
4 VS Seeker(PHF; 109)
1 Computer Search(BC; 137)
1 AZ(PHF; 91)
2 Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick(PRC; 133)
3 Professor Sycamore(XY; 122)
1 N (FC; 105)
2 Lysandre(FLF; 90)
2 Silent Lab(PRC; 140)
2 Float Stone(PF; 99)
1 Ghetsis(PF; 101)
1 Colress(PS; 118)
3 Trainer's Mail(ROS; 92)
1 Pokemon Ranger(StS; 104)
Energy (11)
7 Darkness Energy(XY; 138)
4 Double Colorless Energy(ND; 92)
Strategy:
The usual Maxie's Yveltal list. The aim is to hit first turn Archeops / Gallade as often as possible, with the decision being down to the deck opposite me. Meanwhile, use Oblivion Wing Yveltal to accelerate energy alongside Dark Patch to Yveltal EX to come in and clean up. Fright Night Yveltal is a great option to snipe the bench, but also blocks tools in key match ups. Darkrai EX from BRP is there as a back up attacker, DE for free retreat.
Trainer line up and energy is pretty standard.
I'd like to run 1 more Archeops or Gallade, but I am not sure what to drop. I'd also like space for Fighting Fury Belts.
And Silent Lab or Hypnotoxic + Virbank? Silent Lab feels odd with the Keldeo, but has really shut down games on T1 alongside Archeops.
