I've been using a variant of this since BreakPoint, and it's been fairly successful. Actually since the standard moved to PRC-on it's won a higher percentage of games. I've tried a few variations with Durant or mew, but this one has worked the best.

Strategy

The strategy is simple - mill your opponent's deck. I've added elements of energy removal to slow down opponents. 4 crushing hammers + 2 enhanced hammers + 2 flare grunt. VS Seeker & puzzle of time let's you put them back in the deck too.

Honestly decks of this type tend to suffer from stalling. I've done my best to avoid this with drawing cards. Using an octillery/sycamore just tends to draw lysandre slowing me down. So I've left them out. Plenty of Sycamore/Shauna. I don't use too many N, because often I don't want to give my opponent the ability to draw cards. Ace Trainer works well, since you're frequently losing pokemon. Scorched Earth + fire energy is an alternative avenue to draw & helps win the "stadium battle". Acro bike helps shrink your deck as well.

It's really the simplest deck you can play. I often have a game on TCG Online running while cooking dinner. Great for kids, too. Each creature just needs one fire energy. Mill every turn, use energy removal/lysandre to stall.

Obviously this deck suffers greatly against energy free decks (Greninja, Yanmega), yet somehow I'm .500 against these types of decks. Hope you enjoy!
