Deck Primer

Take an unlimited amount if turns in a row with this strategy... so long as you're in RNGesus' good graces!

This deck is very gimmicky and inconsistent, so please keep that in mind when playing this.

Liepard has the unqiue trait of being able to copy any of your benched Pokemon's attacks on a successful coin flip. Yeah, I know that Will (Cosmic Eclipse) exists to instantly rig a coin flip, but you'll see why I can't use it in a moment.

The strategy here involes using Dialga-GX as a vessel

Liepard has the unqiue trait of being able to copy any of your benched Pokemon's attacks on a successful coin flip. Yeah, I know that Will (Cosmic Eclipse) exists to instantly rig a coin flip, but you'll see why I can't use it in a moment.

The strategy here involes using Dialga-GX as a vessel for abusing Timeless-GX over and over again to take several turns in a row through Liepard. But wait! You can only use one GX attack per game, right? Well yes, but actually no. Misty and Lorelei allows water Pokemon to use their GX attack again even if you have used it.

This may not seem like much for a Darkness-Type Liepard, but did you know that in terms of multi-type behaviour in Pokemon, Vaporeon is the most compatible option to make this strategy work? Its ability turns all of your stage 1 Pokemon into water types in addition to their usual types, so that means Liepard can use multiple GX attacks through Assist!

The only issue is the stiff cost in playing Misty and Lorelei, requiring you to discard a fat FIVE cards form your hand for the secondary effect. Luckily, Exeggcute can be recovered from the discard pile as many times as you want during your turn, despite what the ability says (it's complicated why, so I won't get into it now). This also makes them SUPER easy to acquire when using Battle Compressor. If you have all four in your hand, you can discard them and one other card for the Tag Team effect on the supporter (on a side note, I'm using Aurora Energy since it can be targeted through the main effect of M&L while usable as a darkness energy on the cat iirc).

And that's pretty much it for the main strategy! In order to boost success rates on coin flips I have Victini and Glimwood Tangle, and because of the high liklihood of starting with something useless due to the large amount of tech in this deck, I'm using Scoop Up Cyclone as my ACE SPEC of choice. If you think this deck needs anything, please comment!

Happy Trolling!

Been looking for a use for the vaporeon MandL combo; this is a pretty good use of it. (Liepard is kinda underrated as a card)

- Personally I'd go with another victini and no glimwood tangle, stadiums are easily wiped out and they cannot stack. (ptcgo doesn't stack so I don't think tournaments will let you either)

- Couple cards you may have simply forgotten - hisuian heavy, quick ball, also be sure to take advantage of how you can infinitely use discard costs with the power of exeggcute. 

- GandH aren't crazy good in this deck, yes you are running special energies, but there's nothing that GandH can search for that is crucial for the deck. 

- I'd add a 4th seeker just cuz you have so much compressor

Hope this helps! 🥰

You have a cool strat... 

but ur deck is ****. Also I'm a good 70 percent sure it doesn't even work because if you take a look at M&L's description, "can use their GX attacks even if ... " This means it has to refer to Liepard's GX attack, which itself doesn't qualify as a GX attack, using another card's GX attack would qualify as another Pokemon's. I sure hope I'm wrong and if I am, here are my suggestions:

 

-Bro forgot draw. Yes I see ur thinking, its a compressor engine with exeggcute covering discard costs but still, outside of dedenne, are you rly gonna survive off of 1 card per turn? highly doubtful.

-Most of the stuff Siegislash said is correct, hisuian heavy and quick ball are crucial for consistency, also I know she said G&H are bad for the deck, but honestly keep 1, its a discard cost and finds at least decently useful things, also add a chaos swell if tangles are gone.

-Your energy acceleration could use some work, but honestly assuming your plan works, there's not that much of a need for it anyways since you have more than enough turns to attach energy.

- Use Piers (Darkness Ablaze) if you're worried about not finding energy. 

 

Ye like I said, the strat surely was well thought out but its just too hard to get cooking that it ends up being **** deck. (GIMMICKY tier on Siegislash's tier list)

Thanks for the advice! This deck just has sooo many moving parts for it to be worked on, and yes, I completely forgot the draw engine for this deck :(

I think I saw the strategy used on PTCGO something like 5 years ago when Cosmic Eclipse first dropped, which is where I got the idea from. I'll probably either burn this deck or put it in the back burner for a while until I get it more refined.
