Rocket Boss's Deck Fixes

Dragon Fury Deck
April 14, 2009

Hey there,

 

I have a deck that I think is pretty devastating once started but I was wondering what it needed for it go a little smoother. Here are the cards.

 

Pokemon: 21

 

Garchomp Lv. X x1 MD

Garchomp x2 MT

Gabite x2 MT

Gible x2 MT

Salamence (SW) x2

Shelgon x2 (SF)(SW)

Bagon x3 (SF x2) (SW x1)

Lapras x1 GE

Arcanine x1 SW

Growlithe x1 SW

Palkia G Lv. X x1 PT

Palkia G x1 PT

Altaria x1 PT

Swablu x1 PT

 

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 19

 

Warp Point x1

Switch x1

Broken Time-space x1

Super Scoop up x1

Pokemon Rescue x1

Premier Ball x1

Luxury Ball x1

Bebe's Search x1

Pokedex Handy910is x2

Level Max x1

Memory Berry x1

Professor Rowan x1

Cynthia's Feelings x1

Roseanne's Research x1

Team Galatic's Mars x2

Felicity's Drawing x2

 

Energy: 20

 

Water x10

Fire x10

 

The strategy is to hit anything anywhere hard. Salamence and Palkia G both do that well but at the expense os discarded. Palkia G does a nice job of softening the bench with Pearl Breath and then hitting with Hydro Shot or let Salamence Dragon Finish anything. Garchomp Lv. X I use to bring back Salamence I either discarded with Felicity or that have been knocked out. Arcanine is used for a quick switch and dealing the swift KO's to finish the game. Altaria can heal my heavy hitters or try to net a fast KO with Midnight Eyes+Perish song. It's good but it sometimes doesn't run to smoothly. If you can give me some tips on what you would do to make it better that would be nice.


Hello there! Rocket Boss is here once again with a Dragontastic deck fix, a promising set-up that needs a bit of focus.  In order to provide focus we'll eliminate all of these Pokemon: Lapras, Swablu, Altaria, Palkia G and Palkia G Lv. X.  You mentioned that you use Palkia G and Swablu for quick KO's, but if you have such thin evolution lines and nothing to drive them then you'll often times be left with either part of the evolution line and not the other, with this room we'll add another Salamence, Growlithe, Arcanine and a 2-2 Claydol line, for the obvious reasons that I'm sure we all know of by now.  Both Salamence cards have advantages and disadvantages, so it's entirely up to you how to run them, I recommend 2 of one and 1 of the other, experiment with them and see what works best for you, it all depends on the metagame in your area.  The trainer section of this deck is incredibly scattered so I'll just show you what should work best in this deck:

 

Warp Point x2

Switch x2

Broken Time-space x3

Premier Ball x1

Luxury Ball x1

Bebe's Search x2

Professor Rowan x1

Cynthia's Feelings x1

Roseanne's Research x2

Team Galatic's Mars x2

Felicity's Drawing x2

 

With this set-up you'll be able to search what you need Pokemon wise with the supporters and the trainers, use the Switch/Warp Point to help with Leveling up Garchomp and retreating those hefty Salamence if Arcanine isn't available and with the overall metagame as of late, you need 3 stadiums regardless of how you run the rest of your deck.  The energy here are fine too considering you'll need either 3 or 4 for every big hitter in this deck, but we're over by 2 cards so we'll pull one of each color, which leaves us with:

 

Pokemon: 21

 

Garchomp Lv. X x1 MD

Garchomp x2 MT

Gabite x2 MT

Gible x2 MT

Salamence (SW) x2

Salamence (SF) x1

Shelgon x2 (SF)(SW)

Bagon x3 (SF x2) (SW x1)

Arcanine x2 SW

Growlithe x2 SW

Baltoy x2 (GE)

Claydol x2 (GE)

 

T/S/S: 19

 

Warp Point x2

Switch x2

Broken Time-space x3

Premier Ball x1

Luxury Ball x1

Bebe's Search x2

Professor Rowan x1

Cynthia's Feelings x1

Roseanne's Research x2

Team Galatic's Mars x2

Felicity's Drawing x2

 

Energy: 20

 

Water x10

Fire x10

 

As always, a little more focus can go a long way.  This deck, "Dragon Fury" should prove much more of a force to reckon with.  Rocket Boss is Blasting off again!
