Hey beachbums,

So there's a Pokemon coming out of BUS that has peaked my interest:

Heatmor – Fire – HP110
Basic Pokemon

[C][C] Odor Sleuth: Flip 2 coins. For each heads, put a card from your discard pile into your hand.

[R][C][C] Searing Flame: 60 damage. Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Burned.

Weakness: Water (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 2

Want to get some input here because with all of the energy denial cards we have now, do you think it's possible to consistently hammer off all of your opponent's energy? Meaning, with Victini, you're probably going to be pulling at least one if not two cards out of your discard each turn. This means you will have a vast supply of crushing hammers, flare grunts, skull grunts, plumeria, e hammers, delinquent etc. that you can use to barrage your opponent with denial cards. I'm just wondering what you all think about the chances of this actually working? Part of me is thinking that there's no way, it just won't translate into reality, but part of me is thinking, that's a lot of hammers, this just might be viable.
 
I actually see the point, disrupt your opponent so much they can't get anything powerful off. Heck, use Shell Trap on Turtonator GX as a shield type thing.
 
Seems like too many flips. Sableye (DEX) made this work for a time (and quite well at that!) but it reliably reclaimed two cards, even if they both had to be Items.
 
Yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking too but there are SO many energy denial cards in the meta now....

Which begs the question... run more of those instead of Heatmor? ;)

The other issue is how long will Heatmor last even with the Energy denial?
 
And with so many single energy attackers running around (Greninja, Garbodor, Golisopod GX and that's not even counting the attackers that use DCE as their single attachment) energy denial can sometimes be futile.
 
In addition to single energy attackers...add in Aqua patch, Kiawe, Metagross GX ability, Lurantis (although not big in meta), and Solgaleo GX there are many options to get energy back.
