We could discuss here what decks can be viable once Pokemon Catcher is released. 
Post-Catcher Decks
- Thread starter Riskbreakers
- Start date
Donkchamp *will* be BDIF, mark my words. It can kill almost any basic (aside from Zekrom and Reshiram, and I doubt every deck will be running evolite. In addition, when Donphan has at least one Machamp set up, it can use fighting tag to help recover from dragging out an unenergized pokemon, or if that pokemon happens to be Donphan, drop one energy and start attacking.
Well, it's obviously going to upgrade from the basic Zekrom in a Level X - like fashion as far as I believe. I hope this isn't a derp-ish post in the future. If it does upgrade, it HAS to have either identical or extra HP, preventing it from easily being knocked out by a Donphan and one PlusPower.
Because all EX's were good back in the day right? If you look at the EX's in this set you're views may be changed. I definitely hope this Zekrom EX is better than the normal Zekrom or has some sort of playability, but that's still kind of asking for a lot considering how good Zekrom is. (Or at least the energy acceleration it can take advantage of...)P0KEVORTEX said:
not sure if this thread could have any credibility since we still don't know about all of the cards coming out when catcher comes out (as far as I'm aware)

Well you could Bolt Strke once then catcher the basics for easy kills with outrage.

Also if we have threads about the impossible ban and speculating if it should be banned. This thread is also based on prediction on what we'll run.
How about Beartic/Vileplume? Shuts down Catcher and locks their attacker into paying their own retreat costs unless they have Dodrio TR benched for Retreat Aid. If they get Dodrio out too early donk it with Catcher or just have your Dodrio teched and use Cacturne to donk instead of having to Seeker Vileplume.
LostCario I think has potential, sure it loses to MewGar but in other matchups it can do really well. The trick is to Lost Zone your Pokemon quick enough to start doing damage with Lucario and Mew Prime plus they can disrupt your setup unless you have a way around it. Just get another Relicanth or Absol Prime setup to LZ Pokemon to rack up damage.

^I think he was making the comparison that Pokémon-ex are like Pokémon LV X because they're a (generally) better, more powerful version of the same Pokémon. Which is entirely true, except for how they're played, etc.
