							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!
