my first deck -- whitesqual

[scar1et]

this is my first deck, please tell me what you think

the goal of this deck is to never discard anything and not to rely on coin flips

4x piplup --- diamond and pearl
3x prinplup --- diamond and pearl
2x empoleon --- diamond and pearl
1x empoleon lv.x --- DP black star promos
2x floatzel GL --- rising rivals
1x floatzel GL lv.x --- rising rivals
2x suicune --- secret wonders
18x water energy
3x holon's electrode --- ex delta species
4x celio's network --- ex crystal guardians
4x wally's training --- ex sandstorm
4x holon farmer --- ex delta species
2x night maintenance --- mysterious treasures
4x fluffy berry ---ex unseen forces
3x switch --- diamond and pearl
2x glacia's stadium --- ex power keepers
1x here comes team rocket --- ex team rocket returns


empoleon is the main attacker
suicune for taking pkmn out of the discard pile and as a backup attacker
floatzel gl x for reviving empoleon/suicune
holon's electrode as a extra energy card in place of double rainbow energy
celio's network for searching for pokemon and lv.x's
wallys training instead of candy because it also lets you search for the pkmn
holon farmer and night maitnence for taking cards out of the discard pile
fluffy berry and switch as an alternative method of retreating pokemon
glacia's stadium for removing weaknesses
here comes team rocket for revealing prize cards

I missed most of the EX sets so I will take time to make myself familiar with the cards before I suggest changes to supporters.

My initial thought is that is lack draw power. Most decks will run Uxie (LA) and/or Claydol. See if you can acquire one or both.

My other initial thought is that if you plan on not discarding anything 18 energies seems alot. I'd probably play around 10 and [ut some more trainers/supporters in. I will get back to you with something in depth when its not bed time!

Like the idea though... but I have a soft spot for Floatzel! Always a winner ^^

There's one specific change I'd make.
- 1x Water Energy
+ 1x Empoleon DP

The biggest problem I see here is the lack of draw power. No Claydol? No Uxie? In that case, I would suggest using this Pokémon line, since you're playing unlimited:
3x Piplup
2x Prinplup
3x Empoleon
1x Empoleon Lv.X
2x Nidoran (female) Delta
1x Nidorina Delta
2x Nidoqueen Delta
2x Floatzel GL
1x Floatzel GL Lv.X

Nidoqueen can really help with the speed of the deck if you can get it out fast, and it's not a bad start since you're running Switch. I would also consider adding two or three Castaways to the deck. A Castaway engine is one of the most broken engines in HP-on Unlimited.

I believe he is a moderator of this forum. Im not sure but correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Jackolas]

Politoed is the resident card game master on Bulbagarden... He knows ALL!

He is also a moderator, yes

but, back to my question,:spin:

couldn't corsola from ex unseen forces be used instead of nidoqueen?
wouldn't that be better, since corsola is a basic, not a stage 2?

No, because in the early game, you waste an energy attachment to make it work. In the late game, it will probably get OHKOd as soon as you bring it up. Nidoqueen works over and over again, and can also function as an attacker.

:idea: wouldn't pidgeot(firered and leafgreen) be better than nidoqueen delta?

im changing up my empoleon line a bit:
-3 prinplup --- diamond and peral
+3 prinplup --- majestic dawn

i was thinking about doing something like this, does this look like a good idea to anybody?
-2 suicune --- secret wonders
-6 water energy
+4 steven's advice --- EX hidden legends
+4 team glactic's mars --- secret wonders
