Bench minimizing?

[Tsukeo]

hello. im trying to find a combo to win as fast as possible, but I need cards which can return one or more pokemon from your opponents bench to their hand or whatever, I know of drifblim UD and hunter, but I need more.

Mismagius GL returns Pokemon from the bench to the hand, but only if your opponent has a 4 or more Benched Pokemon in play.

You could wait until November for Palkia/Dialga Legend.

Does Palkia G LV X count?

How about sniping/spreading? All the cards that I can think of that get "cheap shots" by pulling cards away from the field are attacks or hunter. That does not make a very reliable strategy. You basically scoop on the sight of a collector. Try to play cards that spread damage. There are MANY out there. One popular spreader is are KGL (although I dislike it). IDK of any other DECENT ones...

Ditto from CatS will be a great card to use with this. Limit the bench, then remove the important attacker using Drifblim. Easy!

@gliscor I think you meant Mismagius from SF. The second attack does 40 and sends a poke back to the bench if there are at least 4 pokemon there.

@Zero Entei/Raikou Legend is a decent spreader.

^It really isn't a spreader. I consider it more of a game ender. It is too picky to be called a spreader. If my opponent's main mon doesn't have a power, it can't hurt them much. It is perfect as a game ender, but should NEVER be the main focus of a deck (running theme with legends).

Ditto is pointless. It gives the facade of doing something, but it is basically an easy prize if your opponent plays spread/snipe, and it holds a bench spot of yours as well. And sturtle, after drifblim, what will you do? You used a DCE and an energy to get rid of one of your opponent's mon. They will have an extra bench slot reguardless of what you do. There are a lot of decks that can get set up in 1 turn. That won't work as a main (or even sub) strat.
