Basic strategy is obvi... 1HKO ANYTHING put in my path. Catcher all the Ex's and play extremely aggressive.
This deck needs more room, but what to shave?

-2 Bianca
-3 Skyla

+4 Giant Cape
+1 Shaymin EX

This deck is shouting "TAKE MY PRIZE CARDS!" Add the Giant Cape so that your Pokemon don't get OHKO'd every turn for only having 60 Hp and Shaymin is for when they do.

80hp, that's why i play the aspertia.
giant cape will be tested, along with shaymin thx.

 

[Bo$$_89]

Ok 80, but wouldn't you rather have a 100 hp pokemon than an 80 hp?

Confirmed that Raticate has 60 HP. With Aspertia Gym, that's 80 HP. Honestly, I don't think that matters. I think the one tool you should include would be Exp Share. Keep in mind Raticate's attack costs three energies. This deck's biggest obstacle is streaming Raticates.

Oh yeah:

-1 Skyla
+1 N

At least use 4 N. It's a staple for a reason.

I completely agree, I was personally thinking exp share, and running like 6-8 pokemon searches so i could 100% get my raticates and amoongus up as fast as possible.

This is actually a really cool idea for a deck. I wish I'd have thought of it.
13 supporters is a lot, but I think the idea of only playing 2 Juniper is good. I think you should drop 1 Cheren, and 1 Ditto to make room for 2 EXP share.
- 1 Cheren
- 1 Ditto
+2 Exp Share

You should play the new trainer Poison Hypnotic Beam to KO without Amoonguss.

that doesn't come out until February.

 

[Mora]

Even with a Trainer, you're limited to four KO's... unless... Sableye..! Just kidding, that probably has more problems than Ammongus.

 

[Bo$$_89]

Yeah but when it does come out, you can use it T1, unlike Ammongus.

 

[Mora]

You can't use Raticate T1 either.

what i was thinking, it is fairly easy and more consistent to have 2 foongus on the bench and rotating devolutions and using the ability. i find that i can get a consistent 6 ammongus abilities a game. the problem is consistently keeping enough energized raticates in play. i still haven't tried exp share.

 

[Mora]

The only thing I can think of is Exp Share + Ether, but that's pretty desperate. Other than that, pray your opponent doesn't get a T2 Darkrai because if your opponent starts KO'ing Raticates T2 (or T3 if you go second), you are mathematically going to have to attach a DCE every turn to keep up.

 

[exdarkrai01]

Better then exp share is rocky helmet. After raticates attack they cant attack you without knocking themselves out

---

Running dusknoir is also a good idea ive seen

 

[Mora]

They'll be dead with Ammongus before they even get the chance to attack. Plus, they could retreat, or if they're Darkrai, Max Potion all of the damage off.
