Deck List Dump: Palkia Lock

WARNING: THE BELOW LIST IS UNTESTED, AND MIGHT BE BEYOND HORRIBLE IN A REAL GAME!

WARNING: PALKIA LOCK IS A PROVEN ARCHETYPE FROM THE PAST, BUT MAY BE HORRIBLE FOR STATES, EVEN IF THE LUCARIO VARIANT IS SUPER-GOOD!

(Is that it? Is that Palkia G?!)
[I don't think it is…Damn…]


The idea is pretty simple: use Mesprit's Psychic Bind to repeatedly assure a power lock for the whole game by means of Super Scoop Up and Seeker. The list could definitely use some hand disruption to make things extra cooler: Giratina PL, Judge, and/or Looker's Investigation are all awesome choices.

This is definitely atypical for SP, and – as qualified – could very well be terrible beyond belief. However, it's pretty easy to make tweaks to make this a more standard SP. It may take some work to do it, but you can feasibly fit 3-1 garchomp, 4 Double Colorless Energy, and an Ambipom G and/or Dragonite FB to make things work.

Also, to accommodate for your presumably horrid Lostgar (Gengar Prime Triumphant/Lost World Call of Legends) matchup, you might consider running Absol G LV.X, Chatot G, and a Lost World or three of your own.

(There…That's better.)


'Til next time,
