This is my deck, Jumpluccino, and this is my second post, and in case you're wondering why, my first thread became "stale", so I decided to re-post this deck so that it can continue to be rated.


Pokemon

2 Minccino (B/W)
2 Cinccino (B/W)
2 Yanma (Triumphant)
2 Yanmega Prime (Triumphant)
4 Hoppip (HGSS)
3 Skiploom (HGSS)
4 Jumpluff (HGSS)
2 Sunkern (HGSS)
2 Sunflora (HGSS)
4 Pichu (HGSS)
1 Combee (UD)
1 Vespiquen (UD)


Trainers

3 Copycat (HGSS)
2 Judge (UL)
2 Pokemon Reversal (HGSS)
2 (3-1) Junk Arm (Triumphant)
2 (4-2) Pokemon Collector (HGSS)
4 Pokemon Communication (B/W)
2 (4-2) Professor Elm's training Method (HGSS)
3 Rare Candy (UL)

Energy

3 (2+1) Double Colorless Energy (HGSS)
6 Grass Energy
2 (3-1) Rescue Energy (Triumphant)


Strategy: First get a full bench then spam Do The Wave and Mass Attack. Yanmega tech is so that I'm not auto-dead to Donchamp (But Jumpluff can take a hit from Donphan then kill him). Vespiquen so that I don't get sniped, Sunflora so that I can spam its ability, Sunshine Grace. Pichu so that I could use Playground and maybe catch a few newer ZPS decks off guard (when the full Pokemon TCG Online is released), and Rescue energy so that my Pokemon don't go into the discard pile.
 
Take out 1 Skiploom and 1 Rescue Energy for another Yanmega line, otherwise it isn't consistent enough.
 
I don't see why you run the Yanmega in the first place. It does less damage than Jumpluff but provides the same coverage. Jumpluff is a Donphan check in itself. Since you take that out, use PONT over Copycat. Add more DCE, because Minccino is pretty bad without it. YOu also may as well have recovery. All in all:

-1 Yanma
-1 Yanmega
-3 Copycat

+3 PONT
+1 DCE
+1 Flower Shop Lady

Test these changes and see if they help.
 
I'm down with the above. I'd also take out that Vespiquen line it's only gonna make you less consistant, and take out all four of your collectors for 3 Dual Ball and 3 Junk Arm or some other trainer you'd like maybe, just because running 4 Collector and 4 Pichu is overkill. Looks like a solid list otherwise.
 
Thank you everybody for your reviews, but I have a question, should I run Pokemon Reversal or Pokemon Circulator to counter Magneboar?

@Hipoke, wouldn't that make my deck more inconsistent or not? since Dual Ball is somewhat flippy, but I did take out 2 Pokemon Collector, although I do agree with your suggestion for Junk Arm.
 
If you're after Magneboar, definitely Reversal. Circulator means they can swap into RDL, another Zone, a Cleffa (if benched), Reshiram, or anything but Emboar. Reversal can fail, but Circulator will not drag out Emboar unless it's the only other pokemon on the bench. Even against something like Mass Attack, I don't see that happening often, as Zone getting KOed would mean bringing out Emboar, and Magneboar, or Reshiboar for that matter, will avoid that like the plague.
 
*bump*

Updates: -2 PETM for 2 Pokemon Reversal
-2 Pokemon Collector for 1-1 Yanmega
