Deck Primer

My own version of the post-rotation Slowking deck that has been seeing some competitive play in japanese City Leagues.

*The original japanese version has more "raw" draw power, but burns a lot of resources in a very risky way. I tried to create a more consistent and reliable list, with less risky choices. It still needs more testing and some minor adjustments, but it should already be working pretty well.

*Drayton and Hassel are great inclusions, being very flexible ways to find the resources you

My own version of the post-rotation Slowking deck that has been seeing some competitive play in japanese City Leagues.

*The original japanese version has more "raw" draw power, but burns a lot of resources in a very risky way. I tried to create a more consistent and reliable list, with less risky choices. It still needs more testing and some minor adjustments, but it should already be working pretty well.

*Drayton and Hassel are great inclusions, being very flexible ways to find the resources you need.

*Counter Gain and Exp. Share should improve the "energetic consistency" of the deck, something that was lacking in the original list, which relied only on Xatu for that.

*The original japanese version spent a lot of deck slots with the "Kyurem/Regigigas stuck as your first active" issue, which is obviously a serious problem, but I think they went a little too far on that... Here, we are running less options to solve such situation, but it might still be enough, I guess.

Wouldn't Crabominable Work better then Conkeldurr with Hyper Aroma?

I see this a lot and Question why? Now let me say- they both do the same exact damage and their effects do the same (You use Slowkings move Seek Inspiration and not Crabominable's Haymaker- Technically you can use it as much as you want as you would with Conkeldurr) BUT- my Question again wouldn't it be more useful to use it with Hyper Aroma then using Conkeldurr?
