So I seem to always get deck ideas during work for some reason, and after getting this idea in my head, I spent pretty much half the day thinking about it.
4 Druddigon
2-2 Roserade UL
3-1-2 Vileplume
2 Unknown RETURN HGSS
2-2 Leafeon UD/COL
1 Cleffa
1 Magby
Pokemon: 22
3 Pokemon Collector
4 PONT
1 Juniper
2 Cheren
2 Twins
2 FSL
2 Seeker
2 Rare Candy
4 Pokemon Communication
2 Eviolite
T/S/S: 22
4 DCE
4 Rainbow Energy
3 Grass Energy
3 Psychic Energy
Energy: 16
The focus of this deck is to get a preferably eviolite equipt Druddigon out front with Roserade and Vileplume sitting in the back. Using Druddigons ability and the fact that he doesn't have a weakness and can benefit from eviolite, as well as his attack which prevents the opponent from retreating, in combination with Roserades pokepower to poison and confuse when attached to and Vileplumes pokebody to trainerlock. With each attack from the opponents active, Druddigon puts 2 damage counters on it, and by preventing the opponent from retreating, you can use Roserade in combination with Rainbow Energy or Grass/Psychic energy to Poison and Confuse the active, increasing the time Druddigon remains alive by potentially forcing the opponent to fail attacks or choose not to attack. With Vileplume lock, it also removes the opponents ability to catcher your bench or switch their active out, completing the retreat lock. Pretty much all you do is stall out your opponent with Clutch keeping them active and Roserade keeping them Poisoned and Confused until the pokemon eventually gets knocked out from the combination of poison/confuse tails and the 60 from Clutch. Leafeon is here for a quick 100 damage to OHKO weaker pokemon or deal alot of damage to higher HP pokemon and letting Poison/Confusion take the rest.
Unknown RETURN is a tech for Roserade to let you keep recycling its energy.
Suspected Issues:
LOW HP. Even with eviolite, Druddigon can be OHKO by the dragons/flareboar/magnezone/4energyGothitelle.
Damage Mitigation. With Vileplume, damage mitigation is impossible without running Reuniclus (which really isnt viable with low HP such as Druddigon since it can be OHKO so easily) or Blissey Prime (which isn't viable because Druddigon uses 3 energy).
Benefits:
No Weakness. No need to worry about getting donked.
Clutch/Special Conditions/Trainerlock: Getting the most out of your special conditions by preventing the only ways for the opponent to get rid of them. No retreat, no switch, no life herb, KO in a few turns.
