-4 Pokedrawer
-1 Lucario GL
-3 Dual Ball
-1 Aaron's Collection
-4 Metal Energy
-1 Honchkrow G
-3 Volkner's Philosophy

+2 Poke Turn
+2 Pokemon Collector
+1 Crobat G
+1 Dialga G
+1 Cyrus' Conspiracy
+2 Power Spray
+2 Energy Gain
+1 SP Radar
+1 Palmer's Contribution
+3 Special Metal Energy
+1 Warp Energy

Most of the additions are for the basic Dialgachomp strategy, to tank. Maxing out your Special Metal Energy does that, allowing Dialga to reduce 40 damage per attack. Running one Aaron's and one Palmer's is for the sake of recovery, where 4 cards is not enough. No Dual Ball and Volkner's, and with the SP Engine Volkner's isn't necessary and Dual Ball is covered by Collector. Warp is for switching Dialga with Garchomp without the need of Poke Turning all of the SME's away.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Thanks Gliscor! The problem is, I don't have these cards:

Poke Turn
Cyrus' Conspiracy
Power Spray
Energy Gain
SP Radar
But I'll try to get them.

Update.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

I suggest switching a Uxie to a Smeargle so if you don't have any supporters in hand you can use one from your opponents hand.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Smeargle has to be active for it's pokepower to work, and it has a retreat cost of 1 energy. If it was free retreat I'd do it.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Take out the Chatot G for a Unown Q.
Problem solved right there and you can attach it to Uxie if you want.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Ok, I'll test it out. If it work I'll update it. Should I add a Uxie X?
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

I dislike uxie Lv.X in Dialgachomp.Unless Mahcamp is played alot in your area I wouldn't use Uxie Lv.X.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

How about Warp point or switch?
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

I notice how many metals you have, switch two of them for another Warp and DCE.This is way off from regular lists because you don't have certain cards but these should help.If you have any SSU currently take out another 2 Basic Metal for 2 of those to replace the other 2 Poke Turn you don't currently have.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Drop:
1 Honchkrow G
1 Uxie
1 Chatot G
4 PokeDrawer+
2 SSU
1 Volkners
3 Communication
2 Warp Points
2 Basic Metal
-17 total
And add:
1 Uxie X
1 Unown Q
1 Bronzong G
1 Promocroak G
1 Cyrus's Conspiracy
2 PokeTurn
2 Power Spray
1 Energy Gain
1 SP Radar
1 Warp
1 DCE
1 Psychic
1 Driflim FB
2 PONT

All of these will help stratagy/consistantcy/power/speed/disruptiveness.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

I don't have any SP cards (like Cyrus but I'm getting them). I think promocroak isn't needed Along With driblim fb. I may add uxie x and the unown q though plus the energys
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

I wouldn't use promocroak, I never use it and I do well.I would add in a Ruins of Alph for Luxchomp matches and also Conductive Quarry to get back discarded Sp Metal.I have never tested Drifblim FB so i can't tell you much with that.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Why wouldn't you run Promocroak? Luxray ruins Dialga and prettu much the only way to kill it is Croak since it has resistance.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Should I add a 1-1 of starapter fb x? This would make it easier for me to get the SP trainers I need. I would take it out once I get the poketurns and energy gains though.
 
RE: DialgaChomp for Cities. Senior

Update. Added Bronzong G + Starapter FB. I think that Drifblim FB is better than promocroak so I'll try that out. Sadly, I didn't get many cards I needed at league.
