Pokemon: 17
Set up Trevenant to try and item lock the foe ASAP while I find the pokemon in my deck that can best counter the matchup thrown against me and power it up to meet it, using a checklist to do so:
1. Does the foe's pokemon hit for weakness against Gengar-EX/Trevenant? If so, I will find a way to get Trevenant out, whether by Stand In, Mystery Energy and/or Float Stone, and either use M Mewtwo-EX's Psychic Infinity for KO, or if the opposing bench is full, use Zoroark to Jack the threat out. If not...
2. Is the foe's pokemon a quick threat to my team(M-Ray/Vespiquen) and/or immune to EXes by any means(Regice/Hippowdon/Beautifly)? If so, I will use Zoroark(whose Stand In ability means sleep status and/or attack and retreat lock can be cancelled out w/ one Float Stone attachment)'s ability, and either Jack Regice/M-Ray out, or retreat back to Trevenant to attack and damage bench, whatever brings the target closer to KO range. If necessary, I will try to take a non-EX KO so that I don't give up more than 1 prize, and then strike back to either equalize the prize trade, or pay back double by KOing the foe's EX.
3. If neither of the above is met, I will power up and use Gengar-EX's Dark Corridor to get poison on target before switching back to Trevenant(if only by way of attack effect), and proceed like a Gengar/Trevenant deck would...
Skyfield is in list to get my EXes in faster, but when my pieces are in place, Dimension Valley could be used to discard my listed Shaymin-EXes and Hoopa-EX before they truly become Lysandre game-ending bait...
^ What suggestions do you have that will improve the above deck? Any comments?
edit: Oh. I forgot the translations for BREAKThrough cards. As they're yet to be released in the States, I cannot forget to add them... So, here they are!
