Hello,
Maybe you can help me on this one.
I've been doing well with this deck.
I've won 2 tournaments in my
place.. and I've lost only 1 since I
started using it... However, I
felt that I need to reconfigure it,
specially with the new power cards
from Neo.. I've tried battling a
Steelix deck.. and somehow I ended
up short of winning. I don't have any
problems with most theme decks, as
Clefairy or Wiggly (my main boys)
usually deal with them easily.
Tell me what I need to tweak.....
Thanks...
Clefa-Wiggly Combo Deck
Pokemon: 19
3 Scythers
3 Rocket Scythers
3 Gligar
3 Clefairy
3 Wigglytuff
2 Clefable
2 Jigglytuff
Trainers: 22
1 Ecogym
2 Chaos Gym
4 Elm
3 Professor Oak
3 Computer Search
3 Lass
2 Gust of Wind
2 Nightly Garbage Run
2 Item Finder
Energy: 19
4 Double Colorless Energy
2 Full Heal Energy
7 Grass Energy
6 Fighting Energy
Basically my Scythers, Gligars,
and Rocket Scythers are there to stall
the enemy while I build up on
either Clefable or Jigglytuff. Gligar is
good since he can deal damage at
the same time poison to anyone, and
then I can retreat afterwards and
place Rocket Scyther in front, who is
great with his Shadow power, plus
he can deal a significant amount of
damage as well. I use Chaos Gym is
my card, since I use this to lock my
oponents so they'll have a hard
time playing trainers. Ecogym is there
to help me against energy removal
decks. I placed Lass instead of
Rocket's Sneak Attack, since I
think it is more effective overall, and
since I only have 22 trainers, it
doesn't hurt as much... Anyway.. tell
me what I need to tweak on this
one.
Thanks,
Edgar
Hiya Edgar! Nice detail and organization.
You have a bit too much Pokemon here. Let’s drop the Jungle Scythers because the Gligar has free retreat and Rocket’s Scyther has better attacks than Jungle Scyther. Still a bit of Pokemon, I’d recommend dropping the Clefable line if you can, if it really helps you though, you could put it back in. Try adding in a Cleffa in case you get in trouble with a Trap or Slowking deck or you can combo it with Lass.
Hmm, I wouldn’t recommend running Chaos Gym in a Wigglytuff deck, as they’re trainer reliant. And you certainly will need a Gym to counter Sprout Tower, so we’ll up the EcoGyms to 3. Since this deck is trainer reliant, using Elm isn’t a very good idea, especially if you already have NGR in it so we’ll drop those for some Bills. Bill is still a pretty good card. Add in an Oak to maximize your card drawing. Add in 1 CPU Search and 2 Item Finder to make sure you’re able to get your gyms out ASAP in case of a sprout tower or to get your Oaks quicker. You might want to add in 4 RSA to make sure your opponent can’t go trainer crazy on his/her first turn if you get to go first. As I’ve seen, in a Wiggly deck, Switch can help a lot in the very end, so we’ll add in just 2 for emergencies. I don’t think you’ll need Lass that much anymore, so we’ll drop that 1.
