You need more switches than that, considering litleo's retreat cost. Also, take note that it's very hard to use blacksmith when using a supporter engine.

Butterfree is still a good idea. However, the deck should not remain as a one-trick pony; that's why I added dusknoir, and if not for space, I'd bump it up to 3-1-3, although I can drop the max potions for them. Another idea, if you don't want to include candies, is bronzong and lasers. It...

No he's not. Victini still works with Malamar. Confirmed by TPCi via pokegym.

Maybe if you look AWAY from Butterfree, you'll solve those problems? Like y'know, Dusknoir or Empoleon? Miltank doesn't always 2HKO. People play healing cards for that reason. Dusknoir as the stage2 support is far more convincing with miltank than butterfree, who just sits pretty once its out...

Try gardevoir. It's slow because you need two energy on a pokemon that is guaranteed to die at the end of the turn. I ran a gourgeist/gardy/bronzong deck with tropical beach as a benchmark and the deck shone with flying covers. Sadly I don't have any real beaches, but it just proves the deck...

Why not max out the red card? The red card/ghetsis combo doesn't really work unless your opponent draws a hand without supporters. One supporter is really all one needs to restart the ball. Also, what's to stop the next card being a lifesaver? Unless you can chain 2 shovels minimum every turn...

So this is an extension of Hammertime that I created for fun, wasn't supposed to win, but actually turned out to be pretty darn good. I went 2-5 at my last regionals where 4 of the games I lost are due to time. I edited the deck list a bit, so here's the most recent version: (11) 3 sableye DRX...

I find this funny, because in my 20+ games of testing, I have missed a T2 klinklang a total of TWO times. Yes, it is that consistent. Try 4 heavy ball and 3 skyla with a 3/1 klinklang split. Works like a charm.

Try this instead. Pokémon: 14 3 Tepig 2 Pignite 3 Emboar (Ability) 2 Fliptini 3 Reshiram EX 1 Cleffa Trainers/Supporters: 33 4 Collector 4 PONT 3 Sage's Training 2 Juniper 3 Junk Arm 2 Communication 2 Heavy Ball 3 Rare Candy 3 Rocky Helmet 3 Pluspower 1 Energy Retrieval 1...

NO. Skyarrow bridge locks out your own catchers, which you use to stall by forcing them to waste energy on retreat. Playing it effectively gives most, if not all, your opponent's pokemon free retreat, or at least giving them an easier time to retreat after you catcher stall them. Battle City...

This is the best way to beat durant. Another way is to have two self-sustaining attackers (two zeks, a thundurus), NOT Mewtwo because Mewtwo needs a crazy FIVE energy to just kill one ant with evioite. Unless you can charge it up safely. 2 bench is the optimum number because of seeker.

@27th wonder: You don't ever remove revives. That's like removing pachi and shaymin in a ZPST build. -1 alph4 (seriously?) -1 defender -1 N +2 pokegear +1 hammer Pokegear is absolutely needed for consistency, and durant is all about consistency. Alph4 is only used to get a prized durant early...

Well jerome's reply puts things in perspective :\ Though you did say you don't have many cards before NV, which could also implied you didn't have much before HGSS included, or that you just started the game. Saying you stopped before the format change would've been better. In which case, yeah...

I LOVE the idea of bellossom. That said though, I'd drop a kyurem and a terrakion for another regigigas and pokecomm. Also, it's just me, but I'd drop a few rainbows for basic energy, probably fire. It counters your feared scizor AND durant in one shot. Also highly recommend you fit in FSL...

I like how you consider energy to be part of the engine :rolleyes: And I especially like how you disregard the part about spare cash. *shakes head* Losing is part of the game. The important thing is to enjoy the game and community. Being cut-throat itself is not fun. And c'mon, it's a...

Just an input. With 5 pokemon with round attack, seismitoad already does 150, enough to OHKO anything not EX. Following that logic, I fail to see the need of catcher other than for destroying setup, in which case two is the max needed; in fact, even circulator may do the job just as well in...

Um, no idea what that meant, but thanks. It's just my policy to not used the most overused deck in that format, meh. Besides, consistent 4-2 in most tournaments with speedpluff is pretty good.

Yeah, had that thought too. But as I said, space is a serious problem. I already dropped BTS as candy solves the problem, and trainerlock decks will play all the BTS I would need anyway.

I am not playing Luxchomp. I am not playing Gyarados. My main deck for the last year is Speedpluff. My nats is MD-CL, old rules. So now that's outta the way, my decklist: Pokémon (18) 2 totodile HS 1 croconaw HS 2 feraligatr prime HS 2 palkia G PL 2 palkia G lvx PL 2 uxie 1 azelf 2...

You should have at least one flare blitz emboar as a counter for bigger tanks like T-tar and machamps. Personally, I run only 3 reshirams and one flare blitz, paired with 2 pokemon rescue for recyclability. You also need energy retrievals and/or fisherman depending on your build.
