Steelix Prime

Alright. So here's something you should probably read before you skip to the deck. It just so happens that I have to move for an extended period of time (Until Dec 13. I go back here on the 28th of December. We wanted to spend the holidays at home) and in that case I'll most likely not be able to go at home for cities. Why does this matter? Well, where I'm at, nobody's competitive. Why does THAT matter? Well, because I'll get nothing out of playing a competitive deck at league. There's no point in proxying out a solid deck only to be hyped (Because of the proxies lol) and undefeated. I won't be learning anything about matchups. Back at home I rarely went a day without at least seeing someone play Chenlock, Sablock, DialgaChomp, etc. Even some of the masters here aren't all that experienced (With the exclusion of the members on here, such as dragonexpert). So that's why I want a cheap, fun deck that somebody actually gets. So I don't want to hear "Well you might want to tech against _________." And, don't be upset if I don't take your suggestion because I don't have the card. I'm normally not like that. If I don't have any more of a card I'll put a * next to it. So here we go:

Pokemon:

3-3 Steelix Prime*
1-1 Scizor Prime*
3 Skarmory UD*
3 Uxie LA
1 Azelf LA*
1 Skuntank G

(Also, I don't have Blissey PL, but I do have 1 Blissey Prime)

T/S/S:

2 BTS
2 Conductive
3 Moomoo milk
4 Pokehealer+
2 Expert Belt
3 Bebe's Search
4 Collector
3 Communicator
1 Lux Ball
2 Exchanger
2 Twins*
1 Palmer's

Energy:

4 DCE
4 Sp. Metal
5 Metal
2 Warp Energy*

Strategy: Abuse Sp. Metals, Moomoomilks, and Pokehealer+ (Works great with Twins) with Steelix Prime while hitting 100 damage. Scizor Prime is for Special Energyers and for times where I can't set up Steelix quick enough. Skarmory is to start with, for quick energy acceleration for a T3 Gaia Crush. Skuntank G is for abusing Steelix Prime's body.
 
My favorite way to make this work is Lucian's and warp effects. Healing is always good while you stay up, too. Working off of Lucian's, Energy Exchanger makes Warp Energy and Special Metals so much easier to get. I'm glad you don't play Interviewers. Engineer's Adjustments here would be fantastic. No Conductive Quarry, more potion or healer+. Skarmory is pretty nice, but the requirements for it as a starter aren't that good, in my opinion. Warp Point is always useful, but Warp Energy is always just as good, plus the searchability, but if you're looking for gusting, it'll still work fine.

So you're saying Conductive for Potion/Pokehealer, and Skarmory for maybe 2 Lucians and an Engineer? However, Skarm gets me set up by T3, but I'll try it.
 
Well, originally I thought that, but the way I run this deck (without Blissey) makes it so that I can't Energy Stream quick enough. If I had Blissey PL I'd ditch Skarm :/
