Fun Control Deck (Deck for Thought) Slaking/Garbodor

[terrynum1]

In the upcoming format there are a lot of decks based on abilities. If one shuts down these decks abilities the decks fall apart.

This is a fun control deck for the upcoming meta.

I agree Garbodor's Dust Toxin is going to be game changing! The only problem I see with this deck is it would take to long to setup. Taking turn by turn to attach energy would be risky. Turn 2 Garbodor/tool + Slaking + two DCE is going to be hard to setup. All though you would be shutting down Dark Cloak, Dynomotor, and Flight Song as long as you have a tool attached. Maybe you could add Rocky Helmet and take out some of the other tools.

-1 Catcher
-2 Giant Cape
-3 Max Potion
-1 Energy Retreival

+2 Rocky Helmet
+2 Heavy Ball
+1 Switch
+2 Poke Communication

The key to this deck is to not allow your opponent to catcher and ko a Garbodor or Slaking. Rocky Helmet does not do anything to prevent one of the two from being ko. Max Potion is also in the deck to help the EX Pokemon stall for time. Nice recommendations.
