Strategy
This deck is set for the new format change for catchers needing flip.

Empoleon strategy is pretty basic fill bench and attack for 1 energy and heal with max potion. However i included Aerodactyl for increased damage and twisted mountain to get Aerodactyl out. With 3 Aerodactyl out and bangle equiped and full benches on both side. Empoleon can hit Exs for 180. Granted thats probably not going to happen more than once per game, if at all. Its still an interesting possibility.

Anyway the Aerodactyls help compensate for a low bench on my opponents side, if they try to limit their bench. Without catchers being so common it is fairly safe to bench Aerodactyl. Level balls also help bring out Aerodactyl when i have twisted mountain.

1 Exeggcute, as bad as a start as it may be, is for this deck. Being able to diving draw over and over without discarding my resources is pretty great. With Ns and Colress, i can keep using diving draw as much as i want and then shuffle everything back in when i get close to decking myself out. Giving me access to most if not all of the cards in my deck mid to late game.

Obviously not a top tier deck but fun concept. Any comments or suggestions?
 
RE: Empoleon/Aerodactyl

In my empoleon deck I don't run any juniper. If you can get a few empoleons out, you really don't need any more help. Then you can put Caitlin in the deck, then put in old amber, it just synergizes well.
 
RE: Empoleon/Aerodactyl

Idk i usually run juniper in ever deck. I dont want to draw into caitlin early on when i have no other cards in hand. Juniper helps early on to set up. I may put in colress over a juniper or something but no way i would put in caitlin.

Also i dont find the old amber all that helpful. Unlike the newer fossils pokemon. aerodactyl does not go back to the bottom of the deck when in the discard. With only caitlin able to get it to the bottom, its just better to put in 3 twisted mountains instead of 3 old ambers. At least that is my opinion.
