Ok well, I usually like to make decks that aren't popular so I thought of mega shrimp.

Pokemon 15
3 Mega Shrimp EX (Mega gyrados)
3 Shrimp EX (Gyrados)
3 Palkia EX
2 Regice (Ancient Origns)
2 Shaymin ex
2 Manaphy ex

Trainers 33
4 Trainers Mail
4 VS Seeker
4 Ultra Ball
4 Sycamore
4 Puzzle of time
3 Rough Seas
3 Mega Turbo
3 Gyrados Spirit Link
2 N
1 Lysandre
1 hex maniac

Energy 12
3 DCE
9 Water Energy




Strategy is to power up Mega Gyrados with palkia or mega turboes, manaphy provides free retreat. We can also use Gyrados to attack and try attach the energy from there. I haven't tested this out yet, but if some1 has the cards that would be cool if you could test, also feedback?
 
List looks good however, with that many Ex's a Hoopa makes sense, or you can put a couple dive balls in there. I don't it's necessary but it would help get specific pokemon a little better.

Mega Shrimp is a very unexplored card, 240 HP is nothing to ignore w/Rough Seas.

It may be hard to get consistent Palka starts, I would suggest
-1 Regice, -1 Manaphy +1 Switch/Olympia +1 Hoopa-EX
-1 Mega Turbo +1 Skyla

I'd say try and shoehorn in 4 max elixir, and drop the DCEs into water energy. Would be easier to stream the energy.
 
With most Mega Shrimp lists I see, they run 0 DCE, and around 13 Basic Water Energy. This allows full use of Palkia and full damage from Mega Gyarados' attack. In addition, I would also consider a Glaceon EX tech, running maybe 1 Regice and 1 Glaceon.
 
Ok, what I think I will do is -1 Regice, -2 dce - 1 mega turbo -1 manaphy and I am considering getting rid of the Puzzle Of Times
+ 1 hoopa +2 Water Energy +2 Max elixir, if i did get rid of the puzzle of times, I would: Add 2 Max Elexir, 1 water energy, and either a glaceon EX or a hoopa ex. Thanks for all the help guys!
 
the main problem with mega shrimp is that shrimp needs so much food, it can eat your whole deck. i would suggest some super rod to get more food for shrimp, cut a water energy or mega turbo for it. at least 1 super rod is needed or you can put yourself in serious risk of running out of shrimp food.

Ok, I will try doing that then.
 
Why DCE? Honestly, you don't need them. Also drop one thing for a pokemon Ranger. Also, max elixir will be awesome.

I tried to make this deck back in April I think. My list had 4 palkia and no Shaymin. I built it because M Gyarados was a tank with rough seas. I thought it would work out like primal Groudon because they have so much in common. But the problem was M Gyrados would get killed by being Lysandred up, and unkind primal Groudon it's not protected with a ancient trait.
Just my feed back, and in case you are wondering how it worked for me, I don.t own one Palkia or Gyrados Ex now. But try your luck, it will be safer now without night March hitting you for weakness.
 
I'm building mine but it's different from this build. You should add Ranger, max, about 12 water energy, one hoopa, two mega turbo, two palkia, no puzzle of time.
