3-3 Tangrowth BCR
2-2 Whimsicott BCR
2-2 Accelgor DE
2 Shaymin BCR

Pokemon:16

4 Juniper
4 N
3 Skyla
2 Bianca

Supporters: 13

4 Level Ball (Accelgor, Whimsicott, and Shaymin)
4 Pokemon Communication (A lot of pokemon)
2 Catchers (Budget is ehh..these are expensive, see if I can get more)
2 Switch
3 Float Stone
2 Hypnotoxic Laser
1 Super Rod
Scramble Switch/Computer Search (can't decide)

Items: 19

12 Grass Energy

Energies: 12

Strategy:
This is sort of just for fun,so please don't completely rip me a new one for it :). Tangrowth is the main attacker with hundred furious lashes (3-4 energies for 90-120 damage). However the backdrawl is that it can't use that attack the next turn, so float stone and switch is used to get it out of the active spot. Accelgor use deck and cover to deal damage as well as paralyze and poison, so this will keep the opponent in the active spot and allow tangrowth to finish the job..except for the random Keldeos that show up and completely ruin that haha. Whimsicott is in here to use fluffy tag to add 40 more damage to hundred furious lashes. Shaymin is used to get out basics.

A few things that may hurt me:
-I think I may have too many pokemon, but they all seem so neccesary.
-This deck seems to be an attack every other turn which will hurt against big basics. Tangrowths 130 hp does help, maybe I'll use gold potion as the Ace Spec instead of the other two I have up there.
-This deck has very little energy acceleration, but Virizion EX will fix that from PLB. Was also thinking of using Shaymin EX as well, because it could be a great late game attacker.
-Accelgor and Whimsicott are very frail, but again that seem neccesary to help out Tangrowth.

Any suggestions? Could really use some pointers.
 
You may consider replacing Pokemon Communication since it's being rotated in August... T.T And you can play at least a copy of Virbank City Gym to enhance Accelgor's Deck and Cover.
 
Try this.
-2 Commuinication (you are losing 4 pokemon)
-1 Bianca (Colress is better)
-2-2 Whimsicott (He is ok and you have to much pokemon)
-2 Switch (you know have Keldeo EX + Float Stone)
+2 Keldeo EX (so you can Hundred Furios Slashes every turn. If you have a Keldeo EX Float Stone you Rush In Retreat with float stone. And when Tangrowth goes to bench all effects go away so it is legal.)
+2 Virbank City Gym (Pluses Accelgor's Damadge and when you use laser it is 30 damadge between turns)
+2 Hypnotoxic Laser (if you have virbank out it is 30 extra damadge between turns)
+1 Ultra Ball (took out Pokemon COmmuinication)
+2 Colress (Great late game and great with Shaymin)
(you could if you want +1 Bianca and -1 Colress)
 
Thank you for all the suggestions, I'll probabaly take out all the PCom's and throw in 3-4 Ultra balls. If I had to choose, I would have taken out Whimsicott as well. I did give Virbank Gym some thought, and I think I will put that in as well. I did consider Colress as well, I'll keep that in mind. Finally, I completely forgot about the rule that when a Pokemon goes to the bench it loses the effects, so Keldeo EX will definitely be making its way into the deck.

Any thoughts on which Ace Spec I should use?
What about using Shaymin EX or Virizion EX when it comes out?
 
Unless you have Shaymin EX do not buy one. Because Virizion EX is so much better.
And yes when Virizion EX comes out you should put atleast 3-4 and maybe take out Accelgor.
For Ace Spec I say go Scramble Switch. (The only bad thing about going Scramble Switch is that if Gensect/Virizion is going to be popular. Then people may start playing alot of Fire Type pokemon which will OHKO Tangrowth so if people do start playing Fire type pokemon then go Computer Search or Dowsing Machine.)
