CHUMZ deck! (Cinccino Houndoom Marowak Zoroark)

[Haxorus3465]

This is my CHUMZ deck. It's basically a Stage 1 Rush, but with different and more Pokémon. My acronym doesn't totally fit, though. I need to find a Pokémon for the "U". Anyway, here's the decklist. All advice will help!

Pokémon: 24
2-2 Cinccino BW
4-4 Houndoom UD (Dark Roar)
2-2 Marowak TM (Bone Impact)
2-2 Zoroark BW
1-1 Starmie NX
1-1 Dodrio (Retreat Aid Poké-Body)

20 T/S/S
2 PlusPower
3 Communication
2 Interviewer's ???'s
2 Pokémon Center NX
2 Dual Ball
3 Energy Retrieval
2 Level Ball NX
1 Burned Tower
3 PETM

16 Energy
4 Special Dark
2 Basic Dark
2 DCE
6 Fighting
2 Water

STRATEGY: Simple. Set up fast, Do the wave for 100, Mega damage (up to 90) with Houndoom's Dark Roar, Foul Play or Nasty Plot if you're not fully set up, Starmie's underestimated Swift for a flat 50 damage on one energy, unaffected by Weakness/Resistance/etc on the defending Pokémon, and up to 80 damage on two energy if a stadium is is play. And this is all free from retreat thanks to Dodrio's Retreat Aid... but it would only be the cost of one anyway for all but Starmie with no cost. This is a pretty solid deck if I do say so myself, but it lacks HP. The Pokémon with highest HP would be Zoroark with 100. So, other than that, I'm done flippin' my fingers.

i need a reply soon... unofficial tournament is today! :)

My primary concern is the same as your concern: the lack of HP, especially compared to the titanic basics that've taken over the format.

 

[Haxorus3465]

yeah, and there aren't any ways to boost HP, are there? aside from maybe Reuniclus to keep things evened out, and Blissey Prime to remove it all, or Espeon to move some over to the other side of the field. And then I remember there's a card that will do damage to each of the opponent's Benched Pokémon that already has damage on it... This is actually starting to go somewhere! :)

 

[donavannj]

Now you're thinking! But would those cards be worth it? Reuniclus isn't worth it if you're already lagging behind the decks you play. In that case, N and Twins would be good Supporters to insert.

Ursaring prime is a stage 1 that begins with U... Not too sure how well it would work in the deck, but it sure helps with the acronym :)
