The idea of this deck is to get a conkelldurr with rocky helmet, a reuniclus, a roserade, and vileplume out. This is a lot, but it is practically unstoppable afterwards. Shaymin is in here for moving energy off roserade and when a conkelldurr with many energy is down to 10hp move all the energy and it dies with over 200 damage on it! and a jacked conkelldurr gets set up. Roserade poisons and confuses them to make your job easier and wins late game with Power Blow.

EDIT: Roserade also helps with cobalion/vaniluxe a lot.

Tried this with T-Tar during BRs, and it was very inconsistent. It was literally the same deck but replace Shaymin with Tornadus for the Donphan matchup and the 1-1 Roserade with a 1-1 Zoroark for Dragons.

What I ran into was being forced to set up Vileplume first, which made it really hard to set up a Reuniclus and Tyranitar

That said, if/when I set up I would annihilate any deck but DonChamp.
Suggestions based on experience:
- 1-1 Roserade
+ 1-1 Blissey Prime
Blissey will heal off that 200 damage on Conkeldurr instead of having to lose a prize by moving damage to vileplume/reuniclus

So I definitely recommend this attempt, and I hope it goes well. If you have success I might remake my T-Tar decklist based on yours

But.....then blissey discards the energies

You use Reuniclus to move the damage to your bench. Say you have a Conkeldurr with no energy, a vileplume, reuniclus and gloom on your bench. That's 390 damage you could heal off without discarding any energy to your active.

But, then what is the point of conkelldurr. THe reason this deck is, is because Conkelldurr has tons of hp to absorb tons of damage.

What do you do against cobalion, or beartic, or vannilux? These days just being to absorb damage won't cut it

Then why run Reuniclus? Its purpose is to move damage off the active

But, with Reuniclus you can keep it so Conkelldurr can have a lot of damage on it, but still say out of KO range.

The only thing I would say is -1 rocky helmet because 3 in trainer lock is probably too many and add beach (only suggesting beach cause your sig says you went to worlds) or maybe an extra draw supporter or energy if you traded you beach or whatever. Really nice list though.

Yes, I still have beach. I think that 3 Rocky helmet is too high, but I felt that it would be easier to get out early game. I think I'll make that change and some other ones too.
