The idea of this deck is to do decent, cheap, and fast damage with either spread (Lucario), or disruption (Pidgeot). At the same time, Crystal Beach stops the opponent from countering with Scrambles and DREs. Pidgeot d is being tried in here (thanks Russell!) to shut down annoying powers like Telepass and Cosmic Power, which slows down the opponents even more.
This deck needs work, so any suggestions would be great.
Remember, premier ball cna get lucario lv x out of the discard pile.
The deck looks very good just the way it is. Good job!!! All that I can suggest is taking out x1 Fighting Energy for +1 Holon FF.
Apart from Speed Banette, is there a deck that isn't screwed by a turn 2 Gardy?
Crystal Beach helps out a bit.
I know this isn't tier one, and it usually loses to the top decks, but it's a fun casual deck and it can surprise people. Pidgeot is an underrated card: its attack works like a mini Sonic Blade, plus it has resistance to Fighting which makes it a tough KO for Gallade.
I'm confused...how does this lose to turn 2 Gardy? They 2hit Lucario or 3hit Pidgeot, but t2 Pidgeot means they take 50 and switch. And you don't have any powers besides Stance, which you won't use that early anyways.
The Pidgeot d looks nice but clunky. Maybe try Cess Crystal instead?
Pidgeot d IS a bit clunky, but with all the Pachys running around, and Pidgeot having :lightning weakness, Cess just didn't seem such a good idea.
I have been testing this out against a good (CC and BR winning) GG deck, and it can just about hold its own. Crystal Beach hurts GG a lot, and Whirlwind makes using Bring Down a problem for them. The Magmortar match up is way more difficult.
I'm not sure what you are saying. Do you mean I shouldn't use a Pokemon that can get donked by a T2 Gardy with DRE?
Lol. Im Not Saying That If Anything, Reduce Riolu By 1. Then I Recomend Upping Warp Point just Incase You Start With Riolu. Unless They Play Absol Ure Good TO Go.
Yes, I agree with that. Maybe I'm just the biggest #1 GG hater In the universe.
