I've found this to be a lot of fun but could use some help balancing it out.

They key is to be always discarding energy. Raticate and your hammers can do a ton of work while you power up Genesect or Dragonite, eventually one of those two with a FFB is your finisher, but against DCE decks Raticate can pack a punch too. Might need to rebalance my trainer cards a bit. I know there are better decks out there but I really wanted to make use of Evolutions cards and some of the more recent 20th anniversary mythics. I ended up adding slowking because of the combo he has with Genesect (you can push energy to a benchwarmer, then snipe with with Genesects #1 attack).

Any feedback or ideas are welcome. :)
 
Dragonite's Hyper Beam is a certain energy discard and only costs one more energy than Destructor Beam. Maybe it would be a better strategy to remove Genesect and add Max Elixer plus one more DCE. In my opinion Genesect promo is one of the best looknig cards ever, but both its attacks know better variants.

I've only recently encountered a Raticate from evolutions. Its first attack is really something. One enenerg for a certain discard can't be underestimated. After a few enhanced hammers it can even K.O. Pokémon. With all the support Rattata and Raticate from evolutions gave us it's not that hard to get a Raticate BREAK in play. I'm personally considering making a focused Raticate deck. Consisting only of Colorless Pokémon: Raticate BREAK 3-3-3, Spinda 2, Shaymin EX 2 + Winona

Spinda could also be a nice addition to your deck, it deals 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. The Celebi promo does the same for one grass. Plus has a nice ability.

I find Deliquent to be a worthy addition to disruption based decks. But since you're not running any stadiums or red cards that may not be the best inclusion. I wonder if Fisherman is really needed in this deck though. One Super Rod should suffice.
