Today I have a combo for you that makes use of two cards from the newest set, Supreme Victors. These two cards are: Primeape and Chatot G.
I personally used this combo at the pre-release last weekend, and it worked wonders for me. This helped me win the game easily, however, I personally think this combo is very situational. Anyway, it is a pretty impressive combo and is absolutely amazing if you can pull it off.
SV Primeape’s first attack is “Top Drop”, for two C energy: Discard the top card from your opponent’s deck. If you discarded a Pokémon, this attack does damage equal to the HP of that Pokémon.
You may be thinking, “That isn’t very good…what if you discard the card and it’s NOT a Pokémon?” Yes, that DOES suck, you just wasted a turn. However, you cannot just base this game on luck alone. This Primeape needs a little help from…
Chatot G: This Pokémon has a pretty nifty power, “Disrupting Spy”. When you play Chatot from your hand onto your bench, you may look at the top 4 cards of your opponent’s deck and you can put them back on top of your opponent’s deck in any order.
With this power, you can look at your opponent’s top 4 cards! If a Pokémon is there, you can put it on top of your opponent’s deck and proceed to attack with Primeape’s Top Drop!
This sort of tactic worked wonders at the pre-release. I used this combo versus a Wailord deck. My opponent had a turn 3 Wailord and proceeded to rest stall until it was fully powered up. My pre-release deck wasn’t NEARLY strong enough to deal more than 40 damage a turn, for Wailord’s first attack for 2 C energy is Rest: Remove all special conditions and 4 damage counters from Wailord and Wailord is now asleep. So I brought out Primeape and played Chatot G’s Disrupting Spy and found another Wailord in his top 4 cards, put it on top, and 1HKO’d his almost fully powered Wailord. After that, my opponent wasn’t fast enough to recover and I easily won the game.
One thing that disrupts this combo (other than the fact that there is a possibility you’d find NO Pokémon or Pokémon with low HP with Chatot’s Power) is Power Spray. Power Spray is an annoying card and is very popular with the influx of SP decks running all over the place, so keeping track of how many Power Sprays your opponent plays is crucial. This combo is a great surprise factor and most people will not see this coming. Especially not something this risky.
Let us know what you think of this combo!
I was reading the article and I had a thought of a question I was wondering if someone could answer it for me. Would you cause damage if you used Top Drop and discarded a Legend card?

Terrible Deck idea
Terrible made article
1) Power Spray, top drop for 0… Thanks
2) Primate has 90 HP, +20 to psychic and no resistance
3) the most you can top drop for against an average deck is maybe 80 MAYBE
4) If your chatot g gets power sprayed and you Brick Break it does 40 damage and isn't affected by weakness… garbage
Yeah, you would.
Because of Power Spray, Mesprit running around and because Primate only has 90 HP, I don't think this deck could become top tier. However, I think it'd make an excellent tech because all it changes to ur deck is adding in a Basic SP, Basic Mankey and Primape. In addition, in a non-SP deck, it could work great because it's basic form, Mankey, is a great Luxray Counter.
and i dont know anybody playing mesprit and if he plays powerspray you can play poketurn so the combo is very good i think
== TOP DROP (Primeape – PL:Supreme Victors)
Q. If Primeape's “Top Drop” attack reveals a LEGEND Pokemon card with no HP printed on it, how much damage does it do (if any)?
A. No damage is done regardless of which LEGEND half is revealed by Top Drop, because even the half with HP written on it is not considered “a Pokemon” while in the Discard Pile. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)
Awesome deck indeed. lol thats all i have to say
