The deck also includes Hoopa UNM 140 to try and help against Malamar though the matchup still is dicey even with it in the deck. Nihilego LOT 106 can manage some massive damage if used right as well. In terms of Basic attackers, Buzzwole is solid as a choice against many Lightning Types, especially the big Tag Teams in the current format. Alolan Ninetales TEU 111 can outright shut down certain matches as well making it wonderful to use. With the flexibility of Ditto Prism Star having Blitzle to help with drawing cards (which helps shut down Pidgeotto Control decks) and Froslass to help destroy Fire Pokemon, you have solid tools heading into many major matchups. With this in mind, let's get started!Ī large part of this deck comes from the potential Pokemon you can evolve into. Still this a rogue deck that should not be ignored, so let's take a look at how these decks ran! We'll be showing these off in the order they placed which in our humble opinion is also from the strongest deck list to the weakest. Several winning matchup spreads with at least a 50% against other strong meta decks can't be ignored! However it does have a horrible spread against Malamar decks and fights at a serious deficit against Gardevoir & Sylveon-GX decks so keep this in mind. Won 50% against Quagsire & Naganadel decks.Won 50% against Pikachu & Zekrom-GX decks.Won 100% against Pidgeotto Control decks.Won 54.5% against Mewtwo & Mew-GX decks.Won 50.0% against Green's Reshiram & Charizard-GX decks.According to matchup data from Day One the deck: According to data taken from the event Spiritomb decks have an impressive matchup spread. Each player also used a slight different build and we'll be taking a brief look at them all to explain what makes them tick!īefore we get there, let's talk about why you might want to bring a rogue Spiritomb deck to the event. It's perfect timing that at the Cologne Regionals three players managed to place using decks based around Spiritomb! Brennan Kamerman, Teodor Skjaeveland, and Bernardo Dias placed 15th, 31st, and 60th respectively. It’s wise to save before interacting with the tower, as this is the only chance you’ll have to capture Spiritomb in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.Welcome to another edition of Going Rogue where we take a look at rogue decks that places well in tournaments and analyze what makes them successful! It's October which means it's a perfect time to show off decks that feature ghosts and Dark type Pokemon. If you’ve done everything correctly, the tower will yell and Spiritomb will appear for a battle. Once you’ve talked to 32 trainers, you can head back up and return to the Hallow Tower and interact with it. The only NPCs that are excluded from this are hikers. However, the remakes of the games now allow you to talk to various NPCs and not actual trainers. You now need to talk to 32 different trainers in the underground. Use the Odd Keystone on the tower and, after that, go back to the Grand Underground. The Grand Underground plays a key role in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. This object is called the Hallow Tower, which can perfectly fit the Odd Keystone. From here, you want to keep going along the route to Solaceon Town until you reach a small object in some sand. After you have the Odd Keystone in your possession, go to Hearthome City and then head to the southeast exit of the city.
