Notes & Combos

Ever since I tried using this deck, it has been free win after win against Arceus and Darkrai decks.

Why this Pokémon explained:

• Regirock: Amazing tank, can take Dialga hits all day with the help of Shaymin and could even take an Arceus full power hit with cape. Also, decent against Darkrai and Weavile (takes 2 turns to take down Regirock). Good target for your rocky helmet.
• Shaymin: Really good to have in the bench, good excellent against Dialga alongside Regirock. It just helps break so many damage breakpoints in defense.
• Rhyperior: The star of the deck, exceptional tank with an attack that just gets the job done, and it does perfectly. It can 1 shot all capeless basic EX Pokémon like Dialga, Darkrai, and Palkia. It can also 1 shot Arceus, even with cape, which is huge in this matchup. With the help of rocky helmet and/or Giovanni, you can 1 shot a lot of cape'd EX Pokémon, like Darkrai, Weavile, Dialga, Palkia, Leafeon, the legendary birds, among others. You can also tank at least 1 hit from all the 'mons mentioned above, which is huge if you get the first hit, as you can just go in and 1 shot 2 EX in a row with a single Rhyperior.
