I believe Night March has a pretty good matchup against Greninja. A Greninja deck requires a good start or will face a pretty easy loss to just about any deck. A Night March deck, however, almost always has an explosive turn one start. This puts immediate pressure on the opponent, regardless of...

NM and NM / Vespiquen are both great plays right now. The better of the two really just depends on the metagame at the time. Bronzong is not the most popular right now, mainly due to the inclusion of Puzzle of Time. With Puzzle of Time, recycling DCE is pretty easy and when your opponent uses an...

From play testing, I've learned that decks that rely heavily on discarding Pokémon in order to achieve explosive OHKO's (NM and Vespiquen varients), work most consistently with three Shaymin-EX. Having four Shaymin-EX only increases the chances that you start with that Pokémon, which is...

Malamar-EX has been a pretty successful tech to use that works super well with Darkrai-EX. I also play one Darkrai in my list. Hypno also works well, but with Archeops being popular in the metagame, it is a risky build. However, I still feel that having one Darkrai-EX in an Expanded Dark build...

Night March typically does pretty well against Manectric-EX variants, with Manectric / Bats being an exception. Even then, the matchup is not necessarily unfavorable, it is closer to 50/50. With that said, some NM variants are not playing any Dimension Valley; that would make it a very difficult...

My opponent, Mespritguy, never got in touch with me:(

We will definitely see Jolteon EX from Generations all over the place as soon as it is legal for play. I am expecting to see many max elixir / M Manectric varients out there. Not being able to take damage from your opponent's Basic Pokémon is a huge advantage.

Same here. Including a Target Whistle is also something to consider. You can always utilize it to get a Shaymin-EX on the Bench and simply Lysandre for the KO. Another easy Prize is using it to put a Joltik onto your opponent's Bench and then use your Crobat for the KO.

I believe that Wobbuffet would be playable as a tech. Having a Pokemon to power up on the Bench using M Manectric-EX is one of the advantages of that particular deck. Attaching energies to Wobbuffet is just unnecessary.

Based on my testing, taking out one Sycamore and adding one Miltank will be very beneficial. Miltank can deal 100 damage with just one energy and a muscle band. This is a great way to eliminate obvious threats like Regice and only costs one prize upon getting knocked out.

M Manectric-EX / Regice already requires two different Energy types. Adding Registeel would slow the deck down too much; you would find yourself having to search for specific energies too frequently. With the right card combinations, the deck could definitely manage, but not enough to be in a...

I would definitely incorporate one Miltank in your deck. Assuming you have a Crobat on your bench, a Miltank can quickly be utilized to deal 100 damage. All it requires is one muscle band and one energy. Furthermore, if taken out, your opponent only takes one prize.

I am not sure how many Shaymin you are running in your deck; however, most competitive decks average two of them. Yes-there are exceptions based on specific decks. So if you are running more than two, I would consider testing your deck with less, given that there are plenty of resources that...
