Oh Vietnam, what have you done to me.
I'm running ZPS if you couldn't guess from the thread title. It's good I'd say 80% of the time in my local metagame, but drives a bit like an Alfa Romeo. It either turns over perfectly from the start, or with a splutter, at which point you know it's going to break down at some point in the near future.
With that in mind, here's the current decklist. The trainers might be off what with me reassembling the deck in the midst of some casual matches I was having, and thus working from memory. I think everything is there, but I've got enough trainer staples to swap out if I've missed anything:
Pokemon (10):
4 x Zekrom (BW47)
3 x Pachirisu (CL18)
3 x Shaymin (UL8)
T/S/S (34):
4 x Interviewer's Questions (UL77)
3 x Seeker (TR88)
3 x Dual Ball (UL72)
4 x Pokemon Reversal (HGSS99)
3 x Professor Juniper (BW101)
3 x Pokemon Collector (HGSS97)
3 x Super Scoop Up (BW103)
4 x Plus Power (BW96)
4 x Professor Oak's New Theory (HGSS101)
Energy (16):
16 x Lightning Energy
I might be up or down on a couple of things, but it's worked fairly well for me today.
Now in terms of adjustments I think first and foremost I should make the following clear:
I do not have a Yanmega playset.
I understand the role it plays, and trust me when I say that I'd love to get my hands on some, but the Triumphant boosters I have been purchasing of late have been fickle and/or weighed. Purchasing them is an option, and I appreciate that they would be a great asset to many decks, but it's currently weighing up if I want to purchase some Donphan, Yanmega or Magnezone. Either way, irrelevant. They aren't currently available to me.
Bearing that in mind, suggestions?
