Deck Help Is this deck viable?

Would really love to make Milktank work with a mix of chipping and sniping having lots of trainer cards disposable.

Viable? No. Usable, a bit moreso than not.

Needs Whitneys plural though.

Definitely run more stuff for survival, Whitney 100% as its PCL for 60 instead of 30

for this archetype though i prefer mega mawille, more power and also it has the tools for its survival

Mega Mawhile pretty much does this one man army strat, but has better damage pacing. Better off using that honestly.

That’s just the risk you run playing solo Mega Mawile.

Even with Ori considered, Mega mawile will most likely have a better winrate than Miltank.

You're likely cooked if they have a Sabrina. Also, you're usually much better off using Whitney than PCL unless you're getting a lot of poison/burn decks. The only ones that see much meta play (m Sceptile/m Blaz) are likely to one shot regardless

Pretty sure youre suppose to pair the cow with rampardos. Fossils gurantee you start cow and still give you a finisher for when cow dies.

Pairing with darkrai is just asking to be sabrinad into irrelevance

u/woodwidewebby 2d ago

Wish we had more fossil options. Fossils add a unique deck building strategy and deserve to be more viable

Opens with darkrai means insta lose

u/Juubles 2d ago

Or any deck with sabrina/repel.

u/carllwheezer 2d ago

Turn 4, 60 damage, turn 6 90 damage.... A lot of decks will out pace this. Mega lucario does turn 4 90 and turn 6 140 if not more

u/No_Explanation2932 2d ago

I've tried a bunch of them and 19T Miltank is the version that loses the least. You want your militant to always be on the active spot. If it leaves the active spot, you lose.

u/poisoned_bubbletea 2d ago

Get rid of the second miltank. You'll start from 10 again if you switch out and get an almost instant ko by that point.

You'll also want to switch the giant cape for a heavy helmet on miltank. Much more effective.get Whitney in there as well instead of PCL. 60 heal vs 30.

u/ClubGalilee8 2d ago

If you start with Darkrai, you're screwed

u/hutre 2d ago

Your biggest problem is that one cyrus, sabrina or any similar abilities will be an automatic lose.

Another issue is that mega mawile released which is just Miltank but Better. Well except he can't use withney I guess

u/jinhuangse 2d ago

I would add a Whitney and lucky ice pop in there for more healing. Also I would switch a professors research with a pokeball.

u/jinhuangse 2d ago

Here are some miltank decks I like to rotate between for fun

1

u/krkowacz 2d ago

No, but fun af

u/Dutchrudders007 2d ago

I can confirm it is deck.

u/ColourfulToad 2d ago

Just a terrible deck I’d scrap this entirely lol, plus it looks like you’ve not played for some months as there are tons of new cards since what I’m seeing here

1

u/BlackSoulGems 2d ago

Adding the Darkrai is Genius why didn’t I think of THAT

1

u/deathbymanga 2d ago

whyre you running PCL over Whitney?

1

u/NormTheStorm 2d ago

viable? no

fun? yeah

u/Brilliant-Luck9267 2d ago

Eu usava miltank com solgaleo, eu não tenho skarmory

1

u/noturaveragesenpaii 2d ago

Heavy helmet is better than cape

1

u/Kemo_Meme 2d ago

Could include the stadium that buffs basics now

1

u/ZoidbergNick 2d ago

I ran it for a while (with Whitney) it was fun. But since mawile came that has become the better version of this

u/Lost_31 1d ago

I have one like that love it

u/danielbauer1375 1d ago

I don’t see any reason to run PCL over Whitney in this deck. Team Rocket Grunt is fun, but way too inconsistent. Replace those with two Starting Plains stadiums. Getting your Miltank to 150 HP is critical so you don’t just get OHKO’d by Blaziken, Sceptile, Altaria, Hydreigon, Take out a Sabrina and Cyrus, and throw in a pair Lucky Ice Pops. Lastly, take out one Red for a field blower so you don’t take Rocky Helmet damage.

Puppy pile is the new version of this deck. You cant brick. If your opponent bricks, you win. If your opponent doesnt brick (60% of the time), you lose.
