The general idea of the deck is to disrupt-stall your opponent until you set up M Audino


Switch: set-up a TREVENANT-EX Galvantula or a Pokemon similar to the attack/cost-effect of Electroweb to "lock" the defending Pokemon in

Lock: bench a Garbodor with the usual float stone/item

with Garbotoxin in place
disrupt with some crushing hammers, Enhanced hammers, team flare grunts, lysanders and escape rope.

Set up a M Audino EX and do whatever

however the deck is good only in theory except the ability to Garbotxin away rush-in's and Electroweb a strong Pokemon while keeping their active clear of energy until you are ready or set up M Audino EX and start hitting their bench with supporter tech.

the theory was built on that you narrow their potential useful card pool from anything with rush in or DCE for retreats to switch/escape rope only while strategically using ban-hammers ect.

help with everything how to balance setup with utility and stuff that would benefit me more, meta wise to combat tier decks ect., i would like to try this for Some Competitive play and would appreciate you all for you comments, opinions, and advice.


Thank You in advance.

I've always liked the idea of a deck like this but have found that between Olympia, Escape Rope and Switch, there are normally a good number of outs for the opponent.
I don't see how a deck like this would deal with Volcanion for example. If you want to persist with the locking idea, Trevenant Ex has a colourless attack for a single energy which can lock which has the added benefits of it a) not being a stage 1 and b) being more robust (as opposed to Galvantula)
