Hi guys,
So nationals are tomorrow (in my country at least), and I was hoping to get some advice on my troll Zebstrika/ Garbodor deck.
Pokemon
3 Blitzle (BCR)
3 Zebstrika (NXD)
3 Trubbish (NVI)
2 Garbodor (DRX)
2 Mewtwo EX
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums
4 Juniper
3 N
3 Skyla
1 Bianca
2 Colress
4 Hypnotoxic
3 Switch
3 Catcher
2 Level Ball
1 Ultra Ball
1 Heavy Ball
1 Super Rod
2 Rocky Helmet
2 Rescue Scarf
1 Exp Share
1 Dowsing Machine
2 Virbank City
Energy
7 Lightning
4 DCE
Strategy? Well the main aim of this deck is to go for complete lock-down, meaning the opponent can't use any trainers or abilities thanks to Disconnect and Garbotoxin. The ideal thing to do is catcher out a Keldo EX / Deoxys EX, meaning the opponent will be forced to retreat using energies. It's really fun once it gets going, and a T2 Disconnect can be brutal for the opponent.
Now the main problem I'm having is against Darkrai. As soon as he gets 3 energies he becomes pretty much unstoppable since he can OHKO Zebstrika with one attack. So I was thinking....
-1 Mewtwo EX
-3 Lightning Energy
+1 Landorus EX
+3 Blend Energy
While this does allow me to lightly counter Darkrai, it also means that I will be weaker to Blastoise decks (if I start with Landorus) and Cobalion EX (more special energies can be discarded).
I really need your guys' opinion on this, I'm having a lot of trouble deciding and I don't have much time. Also feel free to comment on any changes you would make in general. Any reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
