Pokemon(Main Core)
This is a deck that utilizes Lifesplosion for the purpose of countering G-Booster-using Genesect by attempting to deprive them of the tools and/or items they need to bypass Silver Mirrors to KO foes past such Plasma-pokemon repellants. First, get out and restore Lileep ASAP, then evolve her to Cradily, hopefully by Turn 2, and finally, it shall be sent in to use Lifesplosion, sending out Stage 2 Dragonite and Gallade/Torterra to bench w/o any worries of evolution from their pre-evolved forms, use Emerald Slash to build up their energy, then let their foes cower in fear that they can't use any items or tools to help them out due to Deafen. Once Genesect-EX is gone, or if there's enough prize cards already taken to take victory on the next KO before the foe can use items again, Gallade's Powerful Storm/Torterra's Rumble Stomp shall be sent in to take the cake. Depending on certain situations, this strategy can be modified, to make life easier for the Stage 2s, by using other pokemon to deal with the situation, like, for example, Dialga-EX: If you need a item from the discard pile, hope for luck, and it can be remedied. It also works w/ Plasma Frigate, although Shadow Triad is there to deal with that, but if it's in the discard pile, Dialga-EX can serve in lieu of that supporter. Another example is Chatot. In the absence of a non-discarded Tool Scrapper, it can be used to destroy all tools outside of Silver Mirrors. One final example is Tornadus-EX. If you need cards to deal with a situation that could otherwise interfere with your strategy, shuffle the cards you currently have back in deck and Windfall six other cards into your hand. There are other examples of situations that don't necessarily involve using other pokemon, such as Scoop Up Cyclone: If your Stage 2 is going to be KO'd next turn, use it to rob your foe of a prize card and send a more healthy pokemon out, and that is where another item comes into play, as you then need to do all things in your power to get that stage 2 back in your deck by using the discard pile as a springboard for your Super rod getting your desired card in deck, and, after the rod is used, if the game is still going at this point, use another lifesplosion to get it back on bench, and rinse and repeat until game over. There are more scenarios in this deck than I can count that could be mentioned if there was text room, so I'll leave it here..
^But what do you think of the above strategy?
Any changes that I need to make?
