Deck Primer

This deck is based on weakness! Use Kabutops and Mirage Gate to guarantee OHKOs with Kecleon. If you have trouble with decks featuring Pokémon with abilites where they have no weakness, you can include cancelling cologne. You can use Porygon as a tech against Dragon types, but since I have a Psychic Energy, I can run Sableye and play like a normal lost box.

Start with Comfey and Colress's Experiment and Battle VIP. We want to use mirage gate and have Kabutops ready ASAP to start destroying

This deck is based on weakness! Use Kabutops and Mirage Gate to guarantee OHKOs with Kecleon. If you have trouble with decks featuring Pokémon with abilites where they have no weakness, you can include cancelling cologne.

Start with Comfey and Colress's Experiment and Battle VIP. We want to use mirage gate and have Kabutops ready ASAP to start destroying with Kecleon. Radiant Greninja can be used to discard unneeded types of energy to draw more cards. With this deck, OHKOs are guaranteed. Ho-Oh V is an emergency option which can be discarded using ultra ball and Thortoned into Kecleon.

You could add more Lost Zone oriented cards, such as Cramorant, but cram is just inferior to Kecleon due to weakness. Mirage Gate is just the best way to power up Kecleon.

If you want a better version check out my Water Kecleon deck!

Have fun with this weakness based deck!

I love this deck! I've been using Keckleon/Kabutops for a while and it's good now that more people know that it exists, lol! 🙂

Also, maybe consider Ho-Oh V. You can use it's ability while Porygon is active, and can get quick energy onto Keckleon.

Tangent avatar

Thanks for the suggestion! Ho-Oh V can work well as an emergency option.

What about using Thorton on HoOh to change to Keklon?

SpiredCrescent avatar

Im not familiar with Ho-oh butt how you would get it into discard without losing 2 prizes?

Here is an idea for you using 2 articuno from pogo allows cram to hit radian greninja for 130 taking the KO. Also with water energy it puts the damage of kecleon with super effective glasses at 330. Also you could take out the energy retrieval and energy recycler for 2 super rods. Manaphy protects the bench which is a necesity. The kabutops is a bit clunky and doesn't work well, I have tested it when 151 came out. This is just my personal preference that has done well for me in tournaments.

SpiredCrescent you have a good point. I could play Ho-Oh and then Thornton it, but that's a bit clunky. I should add some Ultra Ball to improve consistency and allow discard options.

Tangent avatar

MazBan that is a great idea! I'll make another deck like that and tag you!

I would personally play one less grass and one less fire as you don't need more than 1-2 and put in 2 more water to be able to snipe little guys with radiant greninja.

Tangent avatar

Hmmm that's a good idea. I keep underestimating the power of Mirage Gate.

NoGoodNames avatar

Doesn't have enough switch to get high enough quickly, and doesn't have very many ways to pull the HoOh out of the discard without using Thorton on it.

TrainerLou avatar

Urshifu VMAX is weak to psychic.

Tangent avatar

NoGoodNames I will add more switch. I noticed that too, but haven't got around to updating it.

Wow I didn't think this could be in a lost box

Tangent avatar

BidoofIsGod the lost box is just to active Mirage Gate, which is an insanely powerful way to power up Kecleon. You can make Kecleon without the Lost Zone, but Mirage Gate is simply too powerful!
