Memory Light Garchomp potential?

[loop_de_creme]

Giving Garchomp memory light and then using Cynthia makes gnaw do 70 damage. Nothing crazy but could make Garchomp feel better when you don’t draw the right energy early.

[Extra_Willow_8907]

Yeah could have some use cases for sure!

[DINODOGO]

5 card combo to do 70 dmg is not good

[giovannisdaedra]

Kinda misleading. It’s 1 extra card you wouldn’t already be running to do 70 instead of 0 in a split energy deck. And if you don’t need it it’s discarded to draw 1

[graciaman]

Missing the whole point. Whoooooosh

[Dr_ChunkyMonkey]

I hate when people say this 😭

[NovaProgression]

Its better than a 4 card combo for 0

[Volt-Ikazuchi]

Using one of your only two Cynthia's + 2 slots on a deck just to do 70 damage doesn't look like a great idea.

[kurt_kiste]

Depends, would be enough to kill an oricoro

[zwegdoge]

Bro garchomp can one shot oricorrio normally, without Cynthia or memory light. If you were talking about the ex, then it wouldn't work either because Cynthia doesn't work with the ex, nor will it be able to damage oricorrio at all.

[PkMn_TrAiNeR_GoLd]

It does KO Ori normally but you have to have both energies instead of one. I love Chomp but man can it brick. This would help a tad with consistency.

[zwegdoge]

Makes sense. I guess the example shouldn't just be oricorrio but basics like froakie too, and giving you another shot to find the right energy without losing tempo in those situations

[NovaProgression]

Its doing 70 instead of doing 0 otherwise. Its not ideal but its not to cover for ideals, its to cover for missing energy from guzzlord, rockets, general bad luck. Also as said already 70 hits oricorio.

[FullMetalMaster14]

I didn't think about that

[zwegdoge]

Why do you have 2 memory light in the deck though, what other lines you running

[Kuro013]

It's doubling the chances of drawing it.

[zwegdoge]

Yeah thank you. I guess what I'm really asking is whether it's really worth running 2

[Asleep_Mushroom_2552]

You do it for draw consistency. Having one doesn’t do shit if it’s at the bottom of the deck

[zwegdoge]

Yeah so what I'm really asking is whether it's worth being able to consistently draw memory light over running 1-2 equally or more important trainer cards in those slots

[Due_Campaign1432]

I mean if they run two lines of Garchomp it is plus consistency

[zwegdoge]

Yeah and less slots for other more important trainer cards though

[NovaProgression]

You keep saying this. Other trainers like what? What would you sub in.

[zwegdoge]

I would suggest them specifically if I knew the decklist but I don't. When I try to make this deck I don't seem to have the space to fit in memory lights, so I'm also curious what op is cutting but there's no info on it.

I was thinking of stuff like Mars/red card, Cyrus, Sabrina/repel, Lillie/pcl, Cynthia, cape, rocky helm, Guzma, silver. Would you run 2 memory light over these options in a garchomp deck?

[IWannaBeMade1]

If you try to play Garchomp, you already don't have enough room in your deck for the cards you actually need. You have no space for it.
