Hello all, I’m back with another fix. Today’s fix
comes from Aziz. Before I start, let me say that I’m
not receiving as many emails as I’d like.
Please send in your decks. Remember, I’ll do
Unlimited decks. Anyway, here’s the deck. This is a
Crobat deck.
Hi Kyle! My name is Aziz.
I'm trying to make a good Crobat deck, that has free
retreat, and this is what my friend and I came up
with:
Pokemon - 24
4 x Zubat (HL)
2 x Golbat (HL)
2 x Crobat (HL)
2 x Crobat EX (DX)
2 x Pidgey (FRLG)
1 x Pidgeotto (FRLG)
2 x Pidgeot (FRLG)
2 x Natu (SS)
2 x Xatu (SS)
3 x Dunsparce (SS)
2 x Jirachi (HL)
Trainers - 20
3 x Prof. Oak's Research (FRLG)
2 x Steven's Advice (HL)
3 x Celio's Network (FRLG)
1 x Low Pressure System (DR)
1 x Space Center (DX)
4 x Rare Candy (SS)
2 x Mr. Briney's Compassion (DR)
2 x Swoop! Teleporter (TRR)
2 x Surprise! Time Machine (TRR)
Energy - 16
16 x Grass Energy (RS)
About the access to cards, I have pretty much every
Crobat-related card, and I have all the "standard"
trainers these days, so you could reccomend
anything, basically. This is a modified deck, and
this is the main
strategy:
Turn 1:
Move 1 - Put Dunsparce active
Move 2 - Attach Grass Energy
Move 3 - Strike and Run (Search for Pidgey,Zubat and
Jirachi) Move 4 - "Run" with Jirachi (now Jirachi is
active)
Turn 2:
Move 1 - Attach Grass Energy to Jirachi
Move 2 - Either evolve the Pidgey or Zubat to
Pidgeotto/Golbat (if you have them in your hand)
Move 3 - Make a Wish (evolve Pidgey to Pidgeotto)
And then you continue from there. It should result
in a turn 2-3 Pidgeot.
If you could please help me improve this deck it'd
be really appreciated!
Okay, I like the idea of a Crobat deck. It seems
pretty simple, yet fun.
Let’s break it all down, shall we?
Pokémon
The Pokémon line seems pretty solid, but I don’t see
much purpose of the Xatu line so let’s drop ‘em.
- 2 Natu
- 2 Xatu
As for the bats, everything looks good, but you
should definitely run the Deoxys Golbat. Free
retreat is far better than auto-confusion, as Golbat
will rarely be active. When it is, Spiral Drain is
decent, allowing Golbat to take a few hits for the
team before retreating. Let’s also lose 1 Jirachi,
as Rare Candy does the job superbly.
- 1 Jirachi
Now we’ll add a Dunsparce and we’re good to go.
+ 1 Dunsparce
Trainers
Here’s where we’ll do the overhaul. Your draw engine
has the right idea, but needs strength. I really
like the Steven/Copycat combo, but if you prefer
Research, that’s just fine. Regardless, max out your
Steven’s Advice.
+ 2 Steven’s Advice
Let’s also run another Celio. It provides great
searching.
+ 1 Celio’s Network
The stadium idea is also nice, but the only real
threat in the form of Poké-bodies is Wobbuffet,
who’s gonna be dropped soon, so trade the Space
Center for another Low Pressure System. We’ll also
scrap the Swoop! It’s not very good, in my opinion,
for this deck. In their slots, we’ll tech in a VS
Seeker, great in many Modified decks, and ATM Rock.
- 1 Space Center
- 2 Swoop! Teleporter
+ 1 Low Pressure System
+ 1 VS Seeker
+ 1 ATM Rock
Energy
We have 1 extra energy slot so tech a Multi Energy.
Why? Because I said so! Don’t question my tech or I
won’t share any more of my tech with you :-).
Your final count should look like this:
Pokémon: 20
[4] Dunsparce
[4] Zubat
[2] Golbat
[2] Crobat
[2] Crobat ex
[2] Pidgey
[1] Pidgeotto
[2] Pidgeot
[1] Jirachi
Trainers: 23
[4] Celio’s Network
[4] Rare Candy
[4] Steven’s Advice
[3] Professor Oak’s Research/Copycat (You pick)
[2] Surprise! Time Machine
[2] Mr. Briney’s Compassion
[2] Low Pressure System
[1] VS Seeker
[1] Ancient Technical Machine [Rock]
Energy: 17
[16] Grass Energy
[1] Multi Energy (Don’t question the tech…)
So that wraps it up. Next up is a neat Unlimited
Sleep deck. Keep reading, send in your decks, and
have fun.
Well, that covers it. I hope this deck serves you
well. Enjoy.
