Pokeballing Deck Analysis: Looking at 6 Corners

Hello Pokemon world today i am gonna go over a decklist for one of the most talked about decks to explode out of our noble victories set, 6 Corners.

Pretty much this deck is built to counter anything you will see and play off of your opponents turn. If played right this deck should always be hitting for weakness.

here is a sample decklist submitted by Jonathan 21810 from the pokegym forums

Pokemon:
3 Virizion (NV)
2 Cobalion(NV)
2 Terrakion (NV)
2 Kyurem (NV)
1 Reshiram (BW)
2 Shaymin
3-3 Electrode Prime

3 Pokemon Collector
3 Sage's Training
2 Professor Oak's New Theory
2 Professor Juniper
2 Natural (Aka N)

1 Super Rod
1 Plus Power

Energy:

Strategy
So like i said before the whole point of this deck is to counter whatever your opponent is playing to always be hitting for masssive damage to score quick KOs. Now being an all basic deck this should be easy to do as you require little actual set up. The 3 Virizion are meant to be your starter (the ideal pokemon you wanna have as the game begins) as its Double Draw attack will let you gain quick advantage by drawing 2 cards a turn and its Leaf Wallop is a very fast hitting attack that over 2 turns can hit for 120 damage. Cobalion is your Vanilluxe and Kyurem counter, plus it also shuts down the very powerful ZPST deck (Zekrom/Pachirisu/Shaymin/Tornadus) as the deck can only really produce one solid attacker at a time. Terrakion is your Magnezone Prime counter hitting it for 180 with Retaliate after one of your pokemon have been KOed. Glaciate makes Kyurem a solid starting attacker after Virizion has been KOed as it can spread multiple 30 damage across your opponents field and then destroy there active with outrage after a few turns of damage. Reshiram is your Cobalion and more importantly your Durant counter, as it will hit them both for super effective damage with Outrage. Now your probably sitting and asking yourself how does this deck work it seems so slow with all these high energy attacker. This is where Shaymin and Electrode Prime come into play. I have already done a review on Electrode Prime so i am gonna talk about Shaymin, which is really the star support of this deck being able to use Celebration Wind to move energy around always making sure you have a fully charged threat on the field. There isnt really anything in this list that stands out as worth mentioning as most decks run pretty much the same line of trainers and supporters these days. Energywise this deck will run a energy line similar to what your Pokemon line is. Rainbow and Double Colorless are a must in this deck and remember Rainbow Energy will not deal the 1 Damage Counter if attached through Energymite
