"The Toad's World"- A look at 3 different variations of Seismitoad!

     Hello to all readers!!!! Evan here and i apologize for no recent articles lately, I'm getting caught up with states. To day I want to talk about a deck that has been doing very well during Regionals and States in many variations, SeismitoadEX!!!!!!


                                              The Quaking Punch is real and ready for a lock!



     Seismitoad/Garbodor


     I want to talk about the classic Seismitoad/Garbodor deck first. It is a great combination that locks items and abilities and uses it to great effect. Here's the list (Here's the link: http://sixprizes.com/2015/03/18/lead-the-way-va-top-8-report-the-exemplary-player-and-my-top-three-plays-for-states/):

Pokemon-10                          Trainers-40                       Energy-10

4 SeismitoadEX FFI 20         4 Professor Juniper            6 Water

3 Trubbish LTR 67                4 N                                   4 Double Colorless

2 Garbodor LTR 68              3 Lysandre

1 JirachiEX PLB 60              1 Skyla

                                            1 Shadow Triad

                                            1 Xerosic

                                            1 Pokemon Center Lady

                                            4 VS Seeker

                                            4 Ultra Ball

                                            4 Hypnotoxic Laser

                                            4 Float Stone

                                            3 Muscle Band

                                            2 Switch

                                            1 Computer Search

                                            3 Virbank City Gym

Seismitoad/Slurpuff



                                                                     A pokemon that likes to taste the deck.

     ToadPuff is a very good, efficient, AND disruptive deck. It uses Cassius to shuffle back in a damaged SeismitoadEX and promote Slurpuff to draw 2 cards. It also relies on using wacky supporters and energy denial with Head Ringer. Here's my take on the deck (Here's the link: http://sixprizes.com/2015/03/12/the-champions-test-a-pokemon-progress-report-and-top-10-list-for-state-championships/):

Pokemon-10                            Trainers-46                                 Energy-4

3 SeismitoadEX FFI 20           4 Professor Juniper                     4 Double Colorless

3 Swirlix PHF 68                    3 N

3 Slurpuff PHF 69                   2 Lysandre

1 JirachiEX PLB 60                2 Cassius

                                              1 Colress

                                              1 Pokemon Center Lady

                                              1 Team Flare Grunt

                                              1 Lysandre's Trump Card

                                              4 VS Seeker

                                              4 Ultra Ball

                                              4 Hypnotoxic Laser

                                              3 Crushing Hammer

                                             3 Enhanced Hammer

                                              3 Head Ringer

                                              3 Muscle Band

                                              2 Float Stone

                                              2 Switch

                                              1 Computer Search

                                             2 Virbank City Gym


 SeismitoadEX/Crobat


                                                   Surprise! SeismitoadEX just got stronger with Crobat as his partner.

      SeisBats is a pretty cool deck. I like it because it uses multiple Golbats and Crobats to spread damage and to make it easier to knock out opposing pokemon. I personally think this is the best of the big three Seismitoad decks (Sorry SeismitoadEX/Jynx I don't think you're that good!) and here is my list:

Pokemon-16                             Trainers-36                             Energy-8

4 SeismitoadEX FFI 20            4 Professor Juniper                  4 Double Colorless

4 Zubat PLS 53                        4 N                                         4 Water

4 Golbat PHF 32                      3 Lysandre

3 Crobat PHF 33                     2 Colress

1 JirachiEX PLB 60                  1 AZ

                                                3 VS Seeker

                                                4 Ultra Ball

                                                4 Hypnotoxic Laser

                                                3 Muscle Band

                                                3 Super Scoop Up

                                                1 Target Whistle

                                                1 Startling Megaphone

                                                1 Computer Search

                                                2 Virbank City Gym


     The list above is really consistent. after 20 games of playtesting (Against different decks. And I won 18 games, the 2 losses were to both VirGen. ) I will go over the card counts and reasons because I made this list from scratch.

4 SeismitoadEX, 4 Zubat, 4 Golbat, 3 Crobat, 1 JirachiEX

     I think that is the perfect amount of attacking and damage spreading. The JirachiEX is crucial to the deck's consistency and out of 20 games I needed it 13 times.

3 Lysandre

     Some people might think that since there is a lot of damage spread that you only need 1 or 2 Lysandre, not 3. I like 3 because if you snipe a Pokemon on the bench you could Lysandre it up and KO it.

3 Super Scoop Up

     Without Super Scoop Up this deck might not be as good. I usually use Super Scoop Up to bring back Golbats and Crobats but I also use it for bringing back up a damaged SeismitoadEX. It also somewhat replaces Switch.

1 Target Whistle

     With 3 Lysandre, a 4-4-3 line of Crobat, Muscle Band, AND Hypnotoxic Laser and Virbank City Gym, a Target Whistle on a JirachiEX and getting an OHKO on it shouldn't be that hard.

     Well I hope you found some good information on here and thanks for reading!
