First of all sorry for my bad English and this is like my first thread in this year. I am very bad with good trainer mix so I am looking forward for advise.

  • 1 Shadow Triad
  • 1 Skyla

Strategy:

The main idea is to kill off any pokemon with the right combo( laser and super fang) . I believe this is more efficient than any other deck wihich required you to have specific amount of energy to do specific amount of damage, it treat the toughest pokemon equal with joltix.

if I was lucky, it is possible to get a turn two death wish with dimension valley and mew ex. Sometimes I even manage to utilised sky return when mew ex is low, switch a Ratata to active and saved 1 prize. Futher more, one thing this deck really shine is free retreat for Raticate and sky return for Shaymin ex, start with them is never painful. For this deck, there is one fancy trick/card which normally help to improve the consistency, team mate. this is due to the fact that this deck is a combo deck, you only need a few condition to OHKO opponent pokemon( a Raticate in play, mew ex, DCE, dimension valley stadium, and laser) and with teammate, u can easily get two of them to recast the combo again, even if you do not have any energy in play.

Eg. I have a Raticate and dimension valley in play after the turn my mew ex or Raticate get KO, I only need 3 card to counter KO my opponent, that's means if I have one of the with either a vs seeker or team mate, I will be manage to pull off the combo. assume I have laser and team mate/ vs seeker with me, I can teammate mew ex and DCE, retreat the Raticate and counter KO. I believe this is where the deck really shine, you do not need to bench mew ex for the risk for 2 prize, it happened many times, I just hold the mew and DCE in my hand as a back up plan, team mate laser and vs seeker for recycle.

That's all my thought on this old rouge deck which I used to play during plasma era. Somehow I realiseed dimension valley and teamate and others new cards can improve this deck. I am bad with choosing the right composition of my trainer cards, please help me out guys.

There is 1 remaining slot for trainer, I forgot what is my my deck, mayb it's better you guys to suggest the right kit in it.
I did not run wally because it made the deck not consistent when I try it out, the odds to get the right cards to utilised wally also very bad.
I run 2 team mate because as I discribe, how powerful it is in a combo deck and 2 lysandre for how important it is to kill the right target as the laser is limited and can be prized
