Deck Primer

This deck can theoretically win on the second turn! 

This is a rough concept I threw together that I feel has potential... if that's what you call someting that wouldn't be much better than the Dialga VSTAR combo. Any suggestions here would be appreciated, especially if they're leaning towards boosting this deck's consistency!

The combo here has you obliterating your opponent's entire board through a combo with Cyrus Prism Star and Sylveon ex's Angelite attack. Cyrus cuts

The combo here has you obliterating your opponent's entire board through a combo with Cyrus Prism Star and Sylveon ex's Angelite attack. Cyrus cuts your opponent's bench down to 2, and Angelite deals with the rest. All that leaves is the Active Pokemon! You only have one turn to pull this off, so you have few options to work with. I opted with Dusclop's Cursed Blast ability to deal 50 damage and then knock itself out, as it can get a KO without attacking. Once you get enough damage on the board, use Radiant Alakazam to tweak the numbers and get your target to 10 HP. Use Hypnotoxic Laser to poison the active, execute the combo, and then it dies before your opponent's turn starts, leaving them with no Pokemon and a loss!

So yeah, I don't think this deck is all that good, but I do want some advice to optimize it!

Ohhh cool reminds me a LOT of the old sylveon GX(this is prob weaker sadly. GX needs easier energy allowing use of supports such as rats), that was crazy stoopid gimmick lmao. This is cool, Gibbon! 💯

Suggestions:

- Are you cooking something I don't know with horn?

- I don't think there's a need to go so fast with this combo. You could very well run rats and get away with a turn 3-5 win to maximize consistincy with the opponent's HP, but idk maybe it's part of ur religion to win early 😂. (Sylveon GX was able to do this better because they both shared triple accel energy) 

- If ur goin this fast me personally I would +1 Dedenne +1 Crobat. (I might +1 Lumin in exchange for random reciever because after suiciding some dusclops you will have some bench space for them)

- Ur only evolution search is aroma. Using some ultra balls can help crobat and also allow you to smoothly swap acro with bicycle in addition to maintenance bc you have a lot of non-expendable cards. Can also get an eevee evolved so you won't need to worry about discarding them later in the turn. (maintenance is a rly underrated card imo u r cool for using it)

- not a suggestion, but the OG sylveon GX used Keldeo EX + Float stone to activate Cyrus, but with the addition of the resonance Eevee, I believe that this version actually surpasses that of Keldeo bc evolving either one of them lets an eevee become water type, so you cooked with this one.

 

Feel free to listen to none of these (I'm curious abt horn tho) because what you have now is most certainly ok and very well built, especially for a gimmick deck. These are just my thoughts lmao 🤭

(if u reply I prob won't get back to you in a while bc of exterior issues)

Siegislash Thanks for the feedback! I feel dumb for not realizing that Sylveon-GX works the same, consdering I own a few copies of it. I'd honestly argue though that since Counter Energy will be active the entire game here, the ex is better than the GX here due to the added bulk, as Counter Energy and DCE are interchangeable. I'm unfamiliar with what you mean by "rats" though. Mind if you elaborate?

You know, rats. Alolan Raticate (Pokémon GO) (the old one is more nostalgic and cooler looking but whatever) The go to when you need the opponent at 10 HP. (You don't need to do it all in one turn, and works regardless of the opponent's HP, making great matchup consistency and overall consistency) 

Yes, you are correct for saying that DCE + GX has literally no advantage at all in your current build. Sylveon GX is a complete different build bc of the ability to utilize TAE (DCE is useless in GX and ex build bc neither rats nor Sylveon ex can use it efficiently) but the end goal is the same. 

Like I mentioned before, your current build is more than ok and has no reason to swap Sylveons. This is a different build in itself. I only mentioned Sylveon GX bc of that actually being an actually playable semi-donk deck back then bc everything you needed was standard lmao. 

 

What is horn for?
