Expanded Sceptile EX / Virizion EX

[Phototoxin]

Hi Pokébeach, my Girlfriend is getting seriously disillusioned with her deck at the moment. I think she's trying to cover all bases and ending up spreading herself too thin. Shaymins are too expensive for us right now but other cards easily considered!

Pokémon:

• 3 VirizionEX
• 2 Spinarak
• 2 Araidos
• 2 Regice
• 4 SceptileEX
• 3 M Sceptile EX

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums:

• 2 Ultra Ball
• 3 Max Ether
• 1 Crushing Hammer
• 2 Enchanted Hammer
• 3 Virbank City Gym
• 2 Silent Lab
• 3 Hypnotoxic Laser
• 1 Computer Search
• 1 Weakness Policy

• 2 Shauna
• 2 Team Flare Grunt
• 2 Lysandre
• 1 Pokemon Fan Club
• 2 Xerosic
• 1 Hex Maniac

Energy

• 12 Grass Energy
• 4 Water Energy

Strategy:

basically the idea is to accelerate as quickly as possible while disrupting key parts of the opponents deck with hammers/xerosic/team flare grunt, the main problem is lack of consistency.

I think it needs to have a think about trying to disrupt vs the virbank+lasers (though they do have synergy with sceptile) and being consistent.

Any help greatly appreaciated!

Use octillary because some form of non supporter draw is needed

Instead of what?

Would it be better to strip down supporters to 1 ofs except shauna and add in VS seekers?

Fan Club and Team Flare Grunt. Lack of Shaymin really hurts. Octillery wastes space and is inconsistent for getting out ASAP. It's more of a complimentary card for a very limited number of decks that need to refill their hand every turn like Magnezone/Raikou/Pikachu EX.

This is the issue we're facing with PTCG at the moment - every deck benefits from £60 for 3 shaymins which kinda sucks from a financial point of view.

Are you going Bornemouth Regionals. You could strip down supporters for a 2-2 octilary line.

Yes we are, I'm more or less happy with my deck though I don't know what the meta is like so it's hard to include meta calls, my GF is considering not going as with her deck as it stands she might get annihilated.

too many energies, also cut regice, not needed (you have no way to get this going except for 3 manual attachments [which is slow and not worth the effort])
Your sceptile deck needs draw support like Sycamore [4] / N [3-4] / Colress. [1-2] If you aren't going to play shaymins, this is VERY IMPORTANT to get resources.
Go down to 9 energies, play a super rod if you are worried about losing energies, and play a prof. letter to search them out.

From there you can work out your trainers and what you might need.
