Strategy:
Use Aerodactyl to get you some fossils in the hand. Then bring up Kabutops to do 70 for 1 while discarding fossils from your hand (good thing). Once your out of fossils or if Kabutops dies bring up Omastar to clean things up.

Only one Uxie for draw support? Add in Claydol. Also 16 energies is way too much. Try something around 12 since Kabutops only need one energy. And why 4 Switch?

Thanks Soul!

Edited first post.

A possibility is to switch the AR Omanyte for a MD Omanyte. It has a flippy Poke-Power, but if you're lucky, it adds a Fossil back into your hand, allowing you one more shot with Kabutops's first atack at full power.

Besides that,
-1 Fighting
-1 Water
(or any combination of the two)

+1 Fossil Excavator
+1 Night Maintenance

Your lack of recovery is terrible. You'll need at least one NM and Fossil Excavator is a must.

Thanks PokeChamp! I think Ill stick with the PA Omastar...not sure why. Think it will work better. Also you're right about the recovery.

I updated again!

You're in a tight spot if your opponent spiritomb locks you, so you might consider running one or two cyclone energy as a counter.

Actually Omanyte MD's Call Up brings a fossil onto your bench so it's not quite as useful but still useful. IMO it's better than the PA one anyway. However you could use Marley's Request to bring back fossils (or other T/S/S) directly to your hand and if you pick 2 different fossils you automatically get one in your hand.
