States 2010 Previews: Gengar Spiritomb

About the Author: Adam

After playing this a few games, I feel it may actually be the most well rounded deck choice for the first weekend of States:

Pokemon-25
4 Gastly SF
2 Haunter (your choice)
2 Gengar AR (“Curse”)
1 Gengar SF
1 Gengar AR Lv.X
4 Spiritomb AR
2 Baltoy GE
2 Claydol GE
2 Mr. Mime MT
1 Mewtwo MD
1 Mewtwo LA Lv.X
1 Uxie LA
1 Azelf LA
1 Unown G GE
Trainers-23
4 Roseanne’s Research
4 Bebe’s Search
1 Luxury Ball
2 Looker’s Investigation
2 Cynthia’s Feelings
2 Expert Belt
3 Rare Candy
3 Moonlight Stadium
1 Night Maintenance
1 Palmer’s Contribution
Energy-12
8 Psychic
4 Call

Gengar AR Arceus 16I haven’t used the deck that much, so I’m sure the list could use a little work, but it’s a start. I do think the Pokemon are solid (though I’m not sure Gengar SF is needed); Trainers and Energy need the most tinkering.

Using 2 Mr. Mime MT is going to help a lot against Gyarados for sure, and probably Jumpluff to an extent, too. If you don’t think you’ll see any of those decks, you could try a tech Dusknoir DP or Nidoqueen RR instead.

Mewtwo Lv.X tech will help against Shuppet and SP. If you can get a Gengar Lv.X on the bench with Mewtwo Lv.X against against SP, you can shuffle away their Dialga Lv.X tech if they use it, and pretty much have your way with them.

Gengar LV.X Arceus AR 97I don’t know how a lot of matchups for this deck go, but with Mewtwo and Mime bolstering your Gyarados and SP matchups, I don’t see how this deck can be bad. And of course, Spiritomb is a nuisance for almost any deck to deal with. It seems pretty well rounded despite its somewhat slow setup.

I like Gengar/Spiritomb over Magnezone/Spiritomb mainly because of Gengar Lv.X. Being able to shuffle away your opponent’s Lv.X’s is huge, and “Compound Pain” is a great attack to get your last few prizes in one turn if you effectively manage your damage placement with “Shadow Skip” and “Curse”.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for the list and any input on matchups. :)

  • good!it’s very useful!thx!

  • This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is multi-colored, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you rapidly see associated cds, tracks, or other users related to what you might be playing. Clicking on one of them will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by related performers, tunes, or users. By the way, the Zune “Social” can also be good fun, letting you locate other people with shared likes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist developed depending on an amalgamation of what all your buddies are hearing, which can also be enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to find out it is possible to stop the public from seeing your individual listening routines should you so choose.
