Standard Toxicroak / Vileplume Deck

[Zamuron]

Hello, i been pondering around with Toxicroak lately, and thought i would make a Deck list.
The stratgey is to not get damaged at ALL with toxicroaks ability, to either slowly KO your opponent, or Deck them out.
We use vileplume, so they cant use, switch, escape rope, or such, since toxapexs ability only country if reatreting. So basically solgaleos ultra road is the only thing stopping you.
We also use ariados to poison our enemies, and chaos tower so we dont get poisoned using it.

Pokemon:

4x Croagunk Steam Siege

4x Toxicroak Steam Siege

2x Spinarak AOR

2x Ariados AOR

2x Mareanie SUM

2x Toxapex SUM

2x Oranguru SUM

2x Oddish AOR

2x Gloom AOR

2x Vileplume AOR

24x Cards


Trainer:

4x Ultra Ball

4x Level Ball AOR

2x Professors Letter

2x Switch

1x Field Blower GAR

1x Choice Band GAR

2x Super Rod BreakThrough

4x Chaos Tower Fates Collide

4x Sycamore BreakPoint

24x Cards


Energy:

4x Strong Energy Fates Collide

8x Fighting Energy

12x Cards

Please give feedback, and tips for how i can improviseret this deck!

Not enough draw supporters, way too many pokemon, I would suggest wally AND evosoda cause you want to get your pokemon out as soon as possible

A few thoughts for your consideration:

• You are planning to run 1 Stage 2 and 3 Stage 1 lines whose setup are inherently slow. This setup is further impeded due to no Trainer's Mail to facilitate accessing Items that you could play.
• Also, to get Vileplume into play quickly, FoGP Stadiums were used by those players. Needless, a T1 'Plume is a great way to signicantly disrupt your opponent's setup.
• Garbotoxin Ability, Hex Maniac, Olympia, Pokemon Center Lady, etc. are just a few "outs" opponents can counter your proposed "trap." Another, would be to Lysandre your Vileplume to the Active position and stall and/or KO it since you are not running any cards (e.g., Float Stone) to easily get it back to your bench.
• Why no Lysandre?
• The 4 Professor Sycamore are woefully insufficient for being your only card-draw support too.

IMO, you have too many Pokemon and insufficient card-draw support (due to perhaps all the Pokemon you want). Your deck needs to be streamlined to be more effective. Consider reviewing decks posted/reviewed on the PokeBeach's main page.

I hope you find these comments helpful.
