Strategy:

With Machamp EX's second attack Crazy Hammer it does 80 more damage to the opposing Pokemon and removes the special condition from himself. The problem I see is the 10 HP you lose by being poisoned.

Thoughts?

You don't lose any health from being poisoned, poison is only added on in between turns. Crazy hammer states that you remove all special condition at the end of your turn.

Okay...I built this deck online and I am having some success with it. I made some changes that may speed up the play and ability to get cards out of your deck.

+1 Winona
+2 Tierno
-2 Shauna
+1 Korrina
-1 Psychic Mind Readings
-1 Forest of Giant Plants


As I said I am having some success with it. A lot of the online TCG players concede once I get Aridos and Raticate Break loaded. Octillery does come in handy at times.

Thoughts?
 
New tech idea of mine for this deck is BKP Heatmor. For 1 energy and a FFB you're OHKOing Vespiquen and 2HKOing non-Mega Fire-weak EXs such as Grass and Metal, which can otherwise counter Ariados (Metal with Steel Shelter). Maybe worth a look!
