Flygon/Dusknoir/Celebi EX

[Flys Gone 2071]

I really like this deck. The idea is to use flygon's ability and vibrava's attack to spread damage. Celebi EX helps me use vibrava's attack and Dusknoir will move the damage counters. I run grass energy to use flygon's attack to paralyze my opponent. All comments will be appreciated. Please don't complain that this deck is slow.

Only 3 Candies are needed, since you only want to be using it on Dusknoir.

Though I don't have any advice for the deck itself, my I suggest putting the individual translations in separate spoilers and labeling them to make it easier to read?

Just take out the asterik.

I'm a little iffy on the Skyla. Have you been testing with it? I don't think it's worthy enough to have three, because most of your Trainers are kinda situational. I would run either two Cheren and only one Skyla, or just run three for greater consistency. The PokeDex/Ether strategy is interesting, and I kinda like it. This is why I suggest Cheren so you can PokeDex your top five and then Cheren the cards you need, you know? Also consider jacking up the Emolga line to three.

 

[Zaloog91]

I would actually lower your Juniper count in favor of more Cheren/Biance and Skyla. Juniper at 4 in a deck that runs 2 Stage 2 will often lead to situations where you either have to decide to either not play a supporter (If Juniper is only one in hand) or discarding key cards to your strategy. Skyla at 4 works really well in anything that uses stage 2's.

-2 Juniper
+1 Cheren
+1 Skyla

Do you guys think that it will be good adding landorus EX? Getting 60 damage on the field T1 can help alot.

I would, Those Eel decks are so popular. You can can OHKO them if they start with a Tynamo. And it does 30 to one bench. So it already starts your strategy, if you can lead with it then by the time flygon is ready there will already be some damage spread

Garbo-Garbodor

Not really it is not difficult against garbodor. Just spread damage early into trubbish and don't let them set up their garbo. What I really need is super rod and sometimes switch.

I'm sure you'll set up 2 Stage 2s before they set up 1 Stage 1, not to mention you don't want to be Candying Flygon. What you need is tool Scrapper. And I don't get why you run Landorus AND Emolga. They're both openers. Run 3-4 of one and 0 of the other.

 

[Flys Gone 2071]

It is not difficult a T3 flygon then you just get your dusknoir later. It can be get until T5 because you can spread early and then get multiple KO. Landorus helps me also mid-late game believe me. They set up garbo BEFORE flygo,:
Attack twice (with benched garbo). Catcher and hit garbo. Finifh with lando EX.
When you get a T1 emolga is a REALLY fast set up. With 4 comms and 2 lvl ball is easay to get vibrava and flygon attacking T3 and then you can set up dusknoir on T4 or 5 even. I have more problems when one part of my flygon line has been discarded/KO/prized and I just have a few damage on my opponents field to use lando good enough.

BUMP!!

 

[Gardevoir88]

I myself have play this deck before. Every game I have played, I have never got a chance to really abuse Celebi EX's ability to copy Vibrava's attack because of how slow the deck is and for the most part, you'll want to be rare candying the Trapinch straight to Flygon. Also, I found myself passing so many times because the is not one Pokemon in the deck that can do anything the first few turns, so I recommend running 1-2 Tropical Beaches. The biggest obstacle is keeping both Flygon and Dusknoir in play for a long period of time. The fact that your going up against EX Pokemon makes it really difficult to knock out multiple Pokemon, let alone knock out 1 beefy EX Pokemon.

There are 5 issues that hold the deck from becoming a Tier 1 Deck

1) Consistency
2) EX Pokemon
3) Darkrai
4) Rayquaza and Garchomp
5) Catchering up the Dusknoir


The deck has potential, it just needs the right build and figuring out how to make the list better and more consistent.

Here is my current list.

Pokemon (16)

3- Trapinch
2- Vibrava
3- Flygon
2- Duskull
2- Dusknoir
1- Landorus EX
1- Celebi EX
2- Ditto
