Deck Idea im workin on....

[Brokepoet666]

Trying to take a different take on the Plasma Deck. Here's my basic set up atm
Pokemon 16

• 4 Deoxys EX
• 3 Genesect EX
• 3 Moltres EX
• 1 Keldeo EX
• 2 Salbeye
• 2 Tropius
• 1 Absol

Supporters 11

• 4 Professor Juniper
• 3 N
• 2 Skyla
• 2 Colress

Trainers 17

• 3 Pokemon Catchers
• 2 Enhanced Hammers
• 2 Tool Scrapper
• 2 Team Plasma Ball
• 1 Ultra Ball
• 3 Colress Machine
• 1 Silver Bangle
• 1 Float Stone
• 1 Silver Mirror
• 1 Sky Arrow Bridge

Energy 16

• 4 Blend PFGD
• 4 Prism
• 4 Plasm
• 2 DCE

Strategy
Looking at the otherside of the Plasma Pokemon this may be viable if I can get enough feedback. This makes Deoxys a more viable attack and allows you to use the Sableye abuse if you need to get an early lock with hammers. Genesect and Moltres are in for damage support. I may think about a Thundurus to help the energy engine if needed. But please tell me what you guys think.

Edited to match rules.~KA

I feel like Deoxys isnt really all that helpful in this deck. WIthout team plasma badges. All it does it boost moltres and genesect. If you just toss in G booster, genesect doesnt really need increase damage, that and the difference between 100 and 140 damage almost seems negligible. Sure you get a few more OHKOs on certain pokemon. You still cant OHKO most Exs. Moltres also only does like 80 damage max unless you slap on plasma energy, then it can do anywhere from 120-160 damage. Still 10 points shy of the 170 that most EXs have. So it seems like most of the times, the deoxys wouldnt change much. It leaves a lot of 2HKOs at 2 hits. It is also a huge vulnerability when it comes to Haxorus and anything with mewtwo.

In the normal plasma decks. It helps thundurus hit from 30- 70 damage with its 1 energy attack. Greatly increasing its damage potential. It also allows Kyurem to hit from 120-160 damage and it can also equip a silver bangle, that will allow it to hit the 180 damage that will knock out nearly everything in the format with one attack.

You can see the difference between the your use of deoxys and its use for TDK decks.

I also think Moltres is kind of a bad card in general. It's attacks are really expensive for what they do. If the first attack didnt have to flip or its second attack didnt require plasma energy to hit 120 then yes it could be a good card. But it is both those things so its relatively not useful for a 2 prize attacker. It would be better to replace it for Thundurus. But the problem there is that thundurus only attaches energy to plasma pokemon. making it only useful for genesect, Deoxys and absol. If you include G booster, then Deoxys would lose some of its reason for being around since you would be hitting for 200 damage regardless. But then Thundurus would be able to attack the energy from the discard back to genesect. Thundurus would hit for less, but it still does the job of charging up genesect.
