Energy: 10

  • 4 Fighting Energy
    4 Strong Energy
    2 Double Colorless Energy

Strategy:
The strategy is to get the Donphan in play and use his first move "Spinning Turn", which cost only 1 Fighting Energy and switches to one of the bench Pokemon. It may not be exciting at first, but if you add a Strong Energy, Muscle Band, and Fighting Stadium, you can do 100 damage with one Energy and switch to one of your benched Pokemon. It is all about stalling and 2HKO many EX's. Robo Substitute allows me to use it like a 30 HP Pokemon, except that your opponent can't take a prize card. Hawlucha is in the deck as a free retreater, but once in awhile you will use him for attacking. Wobbuffet is in the deck to shut off abilities for a turn, which can slow down quite a few decks. Sigilyph is in the deck as another stall card just in case you go against any strong EX's. Zekrom and Kyurem are counters and also can collect damage making Outrage more strong.

Any opinions? I am running this deck for Cities.
 
No bump.
The outragers and the 3rd DCE are useless imo, as most stuff OHKOes anyway and you'll be using Spinning Turn more than Wreck. Run 2 only if you drop the outragers.

Switched. Is 2 VS Seeker and an extra Sigilyph good replacements?
 
Yep, but I really don't see the point of 3 DCE.
Also, how's Bicycle working out for you? I never drew enough cards from it to make it worth a space.

Oops, forgot to edit out the DCE. Bicycle is good because I can Korrina for it, but I almost never draw it when I need it. Also I realized I don't have many attackers, if all my Donphan are KO'd then I am screwed.
 
You still have Hawlucha. Also, if they knock out ALL of your Donphan (isn't really likely to happen), you're screwed anyway :p

Just curious, have you had the thought of running Trevenant?

Yep, but the darkness weakness is very scary (pun not intended), and I have to make room. If I can find room, I will add them in.

The exact same deck you see up there is the deck I ran if that is what you were asking.
