Torterra Tank/Regen

Hello all, this is my first deck posting here :S have read all the rules so hopefully I can get this right! This was the first deck I ever built with the help of a good friend. I used it to play while I traded and built up my cursegar / blastgatr decks and now I want to re-vamp it! can't pull it apart for sentimental reasons :p

Pokemon
4 / 3 / 3 - Torterra (Giga Drain torterra)
1 / 1 - Cherrim (Sunny Heal)
2 x Uxie
1 x Shaymin (energy movement)
2 / 2 - Sunflora (sunshine Grace)

Total = 19

T/S/S
2 x Rare Candy
1 x Flower Shop Lady
2 x Pokemon Communication
2 x Pokemon Reversal
1 x Judge
2 x Super Scoop Up
3 x Dual Ball
2 x PONT
2 x Interviewers Questions
2 x Switch
2 x Expert Belt
1 x Copy Cat
1 x Twins
1 x black belt
2 x Bebe's search 2
1 x Pokemon Collector

Total T/S/S = 27

Energy
DCE 3
Grass 11

Total Energy = 14

Basic strat is to get torterra out, belted and tank it getting back 60hp a turn, or 100 if it's safe to do so. Sunflora there so I can grab whatever I want. Uxie obviously for draw / refresh cards, Cherrim is for heal (and I had nothing better to replace) Shaymin is to move energy's off a torterra if its about to die (always have spare on bench) Blackbelt is there to up the life steal attack to 100 for 1 turn (if things get desperate) or to drop 140 dmg attack if its a critical point in game

Any suggestions ? I know the T/S/S is abit of a mess :S I put all the good stuff towards my blastgatr / cursegar so I never got to update this deck! Most obvious Idea I have is to drop the 1 - 1 cherrim line for shaymin Lvl X (+40 hp to help tank)
 
Bump

Any help at all, I know its a pretty noob deck but I don't want to split it up couse it was my first and I want to make it abit stronger, a 2nd attacker would be nice, any ideas on what to use ?
 
Any thoughts on how to tackle Tyranitar Prime?
This deck was beating 70% of the decks in my area, almost took down a scizor prime deck with it :D but tyranitar prime deck my friend was running just hits for to much damage, can't regen fast enough (giga drain only does 60 with e-belt and tyrnaitar hits for 120 without any special metals or e-belts)
 
I'd say Toxicroak G DP41 is a good bet. It needs psychic energy but can hit for weakness. or just tech in the sf torterra?
 
Alright, imma gunna overhaul your deck a bit here...Ive been playing it in one of the redshark tournaments here on the beach....

sorry for the funky layout, i just copypasted from redshark....

The main changes I have in there are that I took out sunflora completely (it isn't needed) However I have a 3-3 Cherim line. This allows you to heal 80-90 dmg. Adding in Shaymin X gives you 180 hp (200 with expert belt). and prevents your cherim from getting snipped. As for a fighting pokemon...the SF torterra is a great tech! If you have a bunch of unevolved on the bench as well, his power allows you to grab a bunch of evolutions.

The main problem with the deck is dependent on how popular lost world will become with the high pokemon count.
 
i would say sunfloras are essential to boosting torterra's speed. 2-2 line is prob the best

add in Shaymin lvl x Land forme to boost HP

1-1 cherrim is fine.

SF torterra is also great. belt one with DCE and it can OHKO un belted T-tar primes, as well as KO luxray X. it also also evolve all ur grass with its power.

take out the reversals, judge, switchs and dual balls for more consistency boosters. i would suggest 2 more collectors and maybe one more pont.
 
Thanks for the overhaul :D looks good ;)
Yeah I like your healing idea, I have been looking my ass off for a shaymin level X but it's hard to find one down here in little old new zealand, but I am going to be buying a platinum box soon hopefully, so might get some luck with that!

Other than that, I think I have pretty much every card on the list (not the BTS thou but hopefully platnium box solves this to)

Thanks! will proxy the cards I don't have for now and see how it runs like this :)

@ fantasy freak - Yeah I thought Sunflora's were a must have aswell, but will test a few games without, see how it goes

Is it worth running more blackbelts? If I had to cherrims on bench, I would giga drain for 60 Hp, cherrims would replen 20 more hp, and if I droped a blackbelt at a critical point it would add another 40, making total life steal of 120
 
Well I have two in my list.....any more, and they're just sitting in your hand not doing anything....

The one problem I had with my list, was that it seemed to be low on energy....you may want to incress it to 9 or 10 grass
 
black belts i dont find too necessary in my playtesting. a lot of times you can't use it, or when u actually can use it, you cant find it. I would drop black belts all together.

as for energys. I only run 5 grass and 4 DCE in mine. with a 3-2-2/1 line. each UL torterra only need 1 grass to use giga drain. another can be attached for land crush but thats only for certain situations. so 9 to 10 is way to much. i suggest just using 5 grass. with maybe 2 interviewers and a couple PONTS if you need some energys
 
Allright, well I have made the changes posted above with the redshark decklist! Can't play any games untill sunday morning @ my local, so will see how it goes and let you all know :D Had to proxy the shaymin, and bts's and poke collectors but don't think anyone will mind! not like it's a competition just play testing before I commit to getting the cards
