I've been tinkerizing with Cacturne for a while and I have gotten to the point to where I think I can show my list to you guys. Please help if you have Experience with donk decks! Thanks!

Pokemon: 10
  • 4 Cacturne
  • 4 Cacnea
  • 2 Shaymin EX
Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 42
  • 4 Roller Skates
  • 4 Trainers' Mail
  • 4 Professor Sycamore
  • 4 Muscle Band
  • 4 Acro Bike
  • 4 Super Scoop Up
  • 4 Forest of Giant Plants
  • 4 VS Seeker
  • 3 Professor Birch's Observations
  • 2 Ultra Ball
  • 2 Switch
  • 2 Lysandre
  • 1 Giovanni
Energy: 8
  • 4 Dangerous Energy
  • 4 Darkness Energy
Strategy:

The strategy of the deck is to use Cacturne to deal 30 with derail on turn one with Forest of Giant Plants. Derail discards a special energy from the defending pokemon. Only 30 is dealt, but in combonation with Dangerous Energy, Giovanni's Scheme and Muscle Band you can easily deal 80 and discard a special energy.
 
I've wanted to tinker with Cacturne for a while as well. The main issue I find with him is that you have no real form of damage vs Non-EX (well, technically vs EX either, but Dangerous Energy does help with that a bit). Also, things like Lucario EX and other fast attackers give you a hard time. Something that can counteract and/or race faster things would be a good idea. Unfortunately... I have no idea what would fill that spot well (which is why I haven't built the deck myself yet).

Still, it's something to think on.
