Standard Tapu Koko (non-GX)/Team Magma's Base/Wide Lense/Honchkrow GUR

[CaptZero]

But also, they would take damage from Bursting Balloon and between 4 stadiums and a Field Blower you should be able to take out their Rough Seas. If they have all their Lapras's on the Bench, and they took damage from Team Magma's Base and one Tapu Koko attack they will have 10 damage all over the bench, and then when they attack into a Balloon they'll have 80 damage which takes three turns to heal off and the total of 120 damage per turn from Honchkrow, Lapras isnt an autoloss. Rough Seas will slow you down but it won't finish you completely.

You may be able to take out a few of their Rough Seas, but as long as they can hunt it down during their turn they will be healing. Add that to the energy denial structure of Quad Lapras, and Fighting Fury Belt, and it's going to be a really rough match up for this deck.

Here's my list and explanation: -CLICK-

People have raised some good points about Lapras. The opponent could sit behind 1 Lapras + Rough Seas and easily discard your DCEs before you can do any respectable damage. On paper, it sounds like an autoloss. You'd only have Captivating Poke Puff + Team Magma's Secret Base and Tauros-GX's Mad Bull GX as game-swingers.

EDIT:

Signs point to "probably" but I've only seen inconclusive answers in my research.

@Vitiel I researched the Captivating Poke Puff + Team Magma's Secret Base combination last week when I was putting a list together for this deck. It turns out that it does work. The ruling for Fin Luser + Miasma Valley should be used.

Thanks! I've decided on some things that are going to be in the deck to help the Lapras matchup.

-1 Honchkrow
-1 Murkrow
+1 Tauros-GX (Lapras can't one shot this, unless they use a Choice Band which would be weird)
+1 Captivating Poke Puff (I think these will be much more helpful than I first thought. Thanks to @Vitiel for suggesting them!)

Do you think those would help the matchup? It will still be a rough matchup but I just can't accept an autoloss to anything.
