Pokemon: 10
Strategy:
Kyogre - P M Kyogre - Manaphy - Rough Seas - Kyogre Spirit Link - Dive Ball - Archie's Ace in the Hole
Stall with Manaphy/Spiritomb or Kyurem or suicune for 2 turns while you get down enough Kyogres on the bench to advance later on in the game. After your opponent likely KOes you on T2, you send up a Kyogre, Primal De-Mega-Level up-ex evolve that guy, double attach waters cuz why not lets break the rules, and slam down 150 damage and hit all benched EXs for 30 each! Then, escape rope that P Kyogre into another one and whammo you suddenly just took 4 prizes lol.
Cards/reasons: Archie-because 3 vs seeker and why not??? I'm going to try him out, but I'm not expecting great results.
3 VS seeker-For the 1 lysandre and the lack of draw in the deck
Comp Search- I feel that much more is needed from the deck rather than the discard, but I'd have to play it to see what I like.
3 Catcher- I think that having 3 VS seeker can give me more room for catcher here. I don't have to escape rope into another Kyogre if I flip a heads. I may up the anty to 4 and drop a rope because a 3-3 line is just OK I think. This is also the reason why I might run dowsing.
1 Ultra ball-incase if a dive is prized/discarded and to search for whatever in the deck without a supporter.
1 Max Potion-With the 2 turn attachment, the healing can be really beneficial to the deck.
3 Rough seas- So my opponent doesn't virbank/fighting stadium me, but I'd like a better stadium replacement so I don't help out Manectric and Toad decks...lol.
1 DCE- Good for Kyurem/suicune...but also helps Kyogre with the hefty retreat if needed. Also, counts as an energy attach with alpha growth.
Want to add room for:
- Manaphy spot
- More switching cards
- More Energy Switch/energy retrieval cards
- Lysandre's trump card?
- 1-2 Muscle band for suicune to OHKO sigilyphs
-1 Megaphone
3 Kyogre EX
3 P Kyogre EX
2 Suicune
1 Manaphy (PMC)/1 Spiritomb
1 Kyurem LT
4 N
4 Juniper
2 Colress
2 Skyla
1 Lysandre
1 Archies Ace in the Hole
3 VS Seeker
1 Computer Search
4 Dive Ball
3 Pokemon Catcher
1 Ultra Ball
3 Escape Rope
3 Kyogre Spirit Link

. The reason I suggested 3 Manaphy is to ensure the deck starts with him. In my test runs Primal Kyogre Ex needs two turns until it starts to roll and you need someone active that can do same work in the meantime with low to no retreat cost. Most of the time you will only use one or at most two of them. Simply iscard the remaining ones. Kyurem was chosen because I wanted a non-Ex BBP that can help me to conserve Primal Kyogre Ex when needed and force a seven prize match. there have not been that many options in water. You could also try out the Plasma version instead. The split stadium has not been a massive problem for me. I always used to run split stadiums in several decks with the tech stadium as a one-off. I feel that Silent Lab would be more benefitial than Rough Sea but the latter is still nice to have in certain matches. Silent Lab also combos well with Flare Tools to hold back Genesect who can ohko your Primals with Muscle Band due to weakness. Flare Tools and Silent Lab make it a lot harder for VirGen to function as intended since you take off their tool attachment and their ability to gust your guys around with Plasma Energy attachments. Since Primal Groundon and Primal Kyogre are both weak to Grass some people may be tempted to run VirGen despite the availability of Silent Lab and Pokémon Tool F. A turn one Head ringer slows them down and may even lure out Tool Retriever. Since that card is most commonly a one-off you now have two more Flare tools for Genesect. Just be sure to allows attach one at a time until Tool Retriever has been used. The Flare Tools also help to slow down the other new Mega evolution decks that can dish out ohkos. Just some thoughts. Would like to hear your opinion on this issue.
