Hi! I have a deck that I would like you to take a look at.
I have played this deck for a while now at league and in some local
tournaments. Its very good!!! I have taken out many of today's top
decks with it and I still cant understand why it never gets mentioned on
pojo.com. I've beaten Espeon, Kingdra, Entei/Magcargo, etc. and many
others with it. Still Im always trying to look for ways to improve it.
It is for the current neon format. Heres the deck:
Pokemon
4
Larvitar (Neo Destiny)
4 Dark Pupitar
3 Dark Tyranitar
1 Shining
Tyranitar
3 Murkrow
2 Cleffa
2 Elekid
Trainers
4 Prof.
Elm
4 Bill
4 Gold Berry
3 Rockets Hideout
3 Double Gust
2
Focus Band
Energy
17 Fighting
4 Darkness
Strategy:
Dark Tyranitar is great! His attacks are so
flexible. I have multiple ways to win with this deck. I can deck my
opponent. Or I can draw prizes rather quickly with Mountain Smasher or
Fling Away. Fling Away is great for killing babies. Shining
Tyranitar and Murkrow are my backups. Shining Tyranitars first attack
works great with the decking theme. And Murkrow works well with the bench
damage. Sometimes i just stall until I have a pile of fighting energys on
my Dark Tyranitar and then go to town. The deck is very powerful and
underrated. The problems I have are some of my trainers and my other
basics. Im not sure about the number of Focus Bands and Gold Berrys.
I dont know if i should take some out in order to make room for other
stuff. And im not sure about Elekid and Murkrow either. 3 Murkrow is
sometimes too many. I was thinking about Igglybuff, Magby, or Pichu
instead of Elekid but again Im not sure. Please take a look at this deck
and tell me what to fix. Thanks!! :)

Hello, this is a cool deck to use indeed. It's just a tad off
from being a major contender as of now for the current MMF situation which
starts this Saturday. Grass Pokemon are just gonna be big-GER IMO once Pokemon
Expedition comes out later this fall. Anyways, on to the deck.
First we
have the Pokemon: The Dark Tyranitar line looks good. You have a good count and
the line is balanced. I don't like Shining Tyranitar. I mean it's just too much
of an energy hog. It's not a personal favorite of mine. So drop it; it realize
that it's a part of your deck theme, but it's just not worth it, IMO. Three
Murkrow is too much. You only need two. Murkrow is your supporter, and two is
plenty. Also, you need to add another Cleffa in there. It's just a staple for me
whenever I play, I play three Cleffa. I don't like Elekid personally, it's only
really good against Horsea/Squirtle EARLY game. You should rather play some
anti-Slowking so you don't have too much of your speed cut down via Trainer
loss. So swap the Elekids for Igglybuff. Also for some status you could tecH a
Gligar from Neo Genesis.
Next we have the Energy: You're playing way too
much energy IMO. You don't need to play that much Fighting Energy. I realize
that you play the Fighting to discard the cards off of the top of their deck.
But you really shouldn't load too much energy on a single Dark TTar because if
that TTar is KOed, you don't have an attacker. So you can cut five Fighting
Energy. Sixteen energy is enough.
Finally, we have the Trainers: I
personally, am adding Trainers from the upcoming Pokemon Expedition set just for
practice for myself. I will include a Translation for the cards that I will have
you use for the future sets. The Elms are good. You cut a Bill and the Focus
Bands for three Professor Oak's Research. You have five spots from the earlier
cut energy, add three Pokemon Traders. Oak's Research and the Traders give you
additional speed. Cut a Rocket's Hideout as well. Add in two Warp Point, using
Warp Point along with Double Gust balances out using multiple Dark TTars and
their retreat costs. And finally, you need Time Capsule to get back lost Energy
and Pokemon. So here's how the deck looks:
Mountain Crushing!
Modified Formatē
Pokemon: 19
4 Larvitar (Doesn't matter)
4
Dark Pupitar
3 Dark Tyranitar
3 Cleffa
2 Murkrow
2 Igglybuff
1 Gligar (Genesis)
Energy: 16
12 Fighting
4 Darkness
Trainers: 25
4 Professor Elm
4 Gold
Berry
3 Pokemon Trader
3 Professor Oak's Research
3
Bill
3 Double Gust
2 Warp Point
2 Rocket's Hideout
1 Time
Capsule
Nice deck. I just had some slight tweaking and such. Thank you
for reading and visiting my Garage.
