Commenting Etiquette

Be cool. That's all we ask. The writers and editors put a lot of time into bringing you these articles, so show some respect. It's ok to be critical, but please be civil about it. Don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone by making juvenile remarks because you may regret it later. If you have issue with someone, "Get a room." Nobody wants to see your childish back-and-forth banter. Think twice before commenting, use proper grammar, HAVE FUN, and thanks for adding to the conversation!

    i like the idea but i think deckout decks are not worth playing it just gets rid of the fun of playing if you just get locked and watch your deck just wittle down

    This would be a great deck idea except luxray gl l v x and garchomp c lv x are going to be a very popular combo and will be a really bad matchup for flygon lock. Good deck in theory just not good in curent metagame IMHO.

      There is a counter for everything; your point? And besides the SP’s have plenty to worry about at states.

    How is nobody mentioning Double Colorless Energy? I’m totally shocked that it isn’t included.

    Also, I’d max out the Call Energy. It doesn’t hurt anything and only improves consistency.

    Also, 1 or 2 Pokemon Communicator would work great with all the little techs.

    The Slowking idea is really cool!

    I agree with MatthewR, you should play a few DCE even though your strategy is mainly to lock. You might not be able to do that every game.

    i’ve been thinking in slowking too!, but it seems (at least to me) that flytrap variants aren’t doing so well by the time, the great renovation of many decks with Warp energy (such as gyarados,Dialgatank,and many palkia LvX + X thing Variants) force people to include 1 warp or 2 instead of switchs or warp points plus the 1 or 2 unown G, the seek and lock idea it’s very clever! discard one crucial card via wind erosion, i use a 3-2-2-2 lines of flygon, and people around the globe where impressed at that time (worlds 2009),IMO it helps lots if your main strategy is the deckout
    nice article man :D

    yes actually they are from previous sets in modified,
    Also many of the promos since DP are still playable nowadays,
    check your tournament decklist and find if the format in wich you’re playing allows you to do so,
    Good Luck!

    This is epic. No DCE, you will LOCK your opponent not attack them!!
    when spiritomb is played you want to play a dark energy.
    Mewtwo lv X is needed VS SP, because you can’t lock a smart SP player.

    Looooove the slowking idea, it’s really good. I’d max out on Call energy, though. No reason not to. One amazing thing with this deck is that if the opponent drops a Spiritomb, you can Restructure it to your opponent’s bench, drop a memory berry, and then later on in the game, restrcuture/sand tomb the spiritomb. you opponent can’t play warp point/switch because of Keystone Seal and it resist’s flygon so it doesn’t take any damage, so you deck out your opponent until you win. :-D

    Good idea on Slowking HGSS. You can have a Flygon X up with 1 DC and 1 of any other NRG then have the Flygon X and Memory Berry on it and keep doing Sand Tomb whille picking what you discard.
