Deck Primer

I am NOT such a big fan of rogue decks anymore, but get a load o' this!

 

This Zacian deck is untested, but looks SO fun to play! You want to use Iron Valiant, Munkidori, and Rocket's Venture Bomb to KO a weak Pokemon. (dreepy, ralts, hoothoot etc.) Then you gust up a Pokemon in range of your Zacian's attack, and swing, This can easily take 2 or 3 prize turns with the Valiant engine. Here are some notes about the deck:

 

.I feel a shaky Dragapult matchup here, because you can't use their slowness

Here are some notes about the deck:

 

.I feel a shaky Dragapult matchup here, because you can't use their slowness against them. That's why I teched in a Clefairy.

 

.Some lists play 3 to 4 Bands and/or Postwicks. It's not right though because the whole damage control thing is better.

 

.You COULD swap the Rod for a fourth Stretcher, but I find 3 straight Pokemon and Energy getting slapped into the deck better.

 

.Last, Prime Catcher is OK here, but with 4 Switch, a Dubwool, Bundle, and 3 Bosses, I figured Stamp would work. (I also didn't want to have to take out the prime from my bolt deck lol)

 

 

Yeah, I stopped with the whole rogue deck thing. Now I just play whatever I consider the BDIF. I was just playing Pult a few days ago, and got 4th at a League Challenge, but now I'm building Bolt. I don't think Palkia, Chien-Pao, Armarouge Box, (yes, I know) and Luxray ex did me very well. But if I get the chance,  I'll build this for sure!

Enjoy! :3
