No, it is a supporter. All the discard draw 7 cards are technically the same card even though they have different names (for the same reason you can't run 4 Oak and 4 Sycamore or 4 Sycamore and 4 Juniper). The most recent printing is Professor Sycamore, which is a supporter. So when you are...

I really don't like the 3-2 Bannette line. It means at most you can only use Bannette twice before having to Super Rod it, and if it is prized or 1 of your Bannette's is, then you are screwed. It also significantly reduces the chances of being able to play it turn 1. I would also cut the Mega...

I don't play unlimited, but as far as I know if a card isn't a supporter or a stadium then it is an item.

That assumes Lysandre isn't reprinted. And even if it isn't Pokémon Catcher will still be around.

The deck is very neat although it runs into serious problems if anyone ever gets a Hex Maniac, Switch, or Pokémon Ranger off (and it is killing so slow that any deck that runs either card will likely be able to use them). Because of that I would try to focus on getting as much damage as possible...

Sableye is awesome at milling, but it is Expanded. Malamar is basically a much weaker version. Sableye is nice because you can just spam 2 Trick shovels every turn.

IMO Doublade is a better Expanded option because of Steel Shelter (although it makes any steel mirror a nightmare), Hypnotoxic, and Trick Coin (and you don't have to wait 1.5 months for Victini), but it certainly has a massive speed upside. When I've run poison based decks (expanded Doublade and...

Vespiquen is good in Expanded, but it has really weakened in Standard with the loss of Battle Compressor. I just don't see how you will be dealing enough damage. Also IDK how popular it will be, but one of the new Oricorio cards absolutely destroys Vespiquen (the attack is for 1 Colorless: put a...

Personally I would cut the Doublades and run more Ariados. Raticate is an extra stage, but not having the coin flip and not taking damage from Poisonous Nest makes it much better than Doublade. It would also allow you to cut the Metal and Rainbow Energy. If you feel the stage 2 is too slow you...

If Talonflame is really vital to the success of your deck, then you really want 4. Currently he will only show up in about 22% of your starting hands. Accounting for mulligans you will only see him about 25% of the time. Running 4 would up the chances of starting with Talonflame to 45%. if...

I'd cut the EXP Share for Max Elixirs, the problem with TTar is that it is super slow and clunky, so you need all the acceleration you can get. Another option would be Oblivion Wing Yveltal for acceleration. I'd cut the rainbow energy for basic dark energy, as was mentioned before TTar is your...

A few things. First, Charizard and Arcanine aren't Standard (or even Expanded) legal, so they need to be taken out of the deck. I don't really understand the point of running Fennekin if you aren't running the evolutions, so I'd take them out. Incineroar is also very weak considering it is a...

The problem with Dragonair is that it is an attack so you need to get it active and will likely have to sacrifice a prize card for 1 turn of unlimited energy. Blastoise could at least be gotten through Archie's, and you only needed it to be on the bench to get the effect. It also applies the...

Geomancy requires Fairy Energy, cards like Rainbow, Wonder, and DDE only give energy when in play, so they do not qualify as Fairy Energy. Geomancy failing for those Energy types has nothing to do with those cards being special (if Wonder Energy counted as Fairy Energy at all times you would be...

Technically there are cards that won't be KO'd by a 250 damage attack. Crystal Wall Kyruem, Wailord EX with FFB and any Pokémon with 240 HP and hard charm, but considering those 3 combos see approximately 0 play in any decent deck it doesn't really matter. As was mentioned before we don't know...

Tapu Koko's ability does not specify basic energy, so electrode works with it.

I don't understand the point of the hammers or field blower. They might as well be blank cards in this deck. This deck is screwed if Vileplume doesn't get out turn 1, as most decks will have more than enough time to set up by then. So you will never even have a chance to use them. Remove them...

I'm not too worried about milling myself to get Plume out, since I will be able to use cards like Birch's Observations or Shauna to replenish my deck size while my opponent will not (assuming I can keep Sableye up). I can see however that it might take too long to mill the opponent to be able to...

I used to run a deck that was just like this but with bats instead of Decidueye. I find it to be incredibly slow and clunky. Once Mega Alakazam came out I switched to that and had way more success. Clawitzer might make it fast enough though.

I would cut down most of the 1 ofs you have as having a lot of 1 ofs hurts the consistency of your deck. Here is what I would change: Pokémon: Remove: 13-14 Stoutland - very weak considering it is a stage 2. Many more powerful cards that are Basics or Stage 1s meaning you can save cards and...
