Crafting Yveltal for US Nationals (and a Nod to Toad/Bats) “Seismitoad/Crobat has without a doubt been my favorite deck in recent memory. I have played it for one Regional Championship, several League Challenges, and a handful of other local and unsanctioned tournaments.

I obviously think the deck is very good, but the format is wide open and I will admit that there are a whole lot of choices, many of which I can’t label as outright incorrect. I’m sure the majority of readers understand how this deck works; it’s been in the format for a while and has had tens of…
