Victini-EX is what he's talking about.
I've played this deck a couple more times, and what seems to be the most difficult for me to deal with are Bouffalant, Kyurem, and Victini EX.
Has anyone tried playing 4 Deoxys EX in this deck? The extra damage could be helpful for 1-shotting the above pokemon with Megalo Cannon.

I wouldn't play it unless you run Lugia-EX and even if you did I'd only play 1 or 2.
I have been looking for a deck that makes use of Forewarn Musharna and long distance hypnosis munna. I think this might be a viable option.
3 Genesect Ex
3 Virizion Ex
3 Tropius
2-2 Musharna
With this set up. I can use long distance hypnosis every turn as long as my active has grass energy. Hopefully putting my opponent to sleep. Also i can make use of forewarn and draw one card from the top 2 cards of my deck. Not all that great. But i do want to also throw in a few ethers into this deck. So if i ever have a skyla in hand and forewarn shows me one of my grass energy in the top 2 i can ether it onto one of my pokemon. Thus having more options for energy acceleration. Lack of energy always seems to be a problem these pokemon.
Not really sure if these changes would help much, any thoughts on this variation?

You really don't need 3 Tropius. I would only use 1, if any. Yes, its attacks are good, but you really won't be relying on Return that much. That's what running Supporters and Musharna are for.
I would take out 2 of the Tropius and put in 1 more Virizion EX and devote the other space to a Float Stone or Switch to help out with Musharna.
in the first deck i threw together i had 2 torpius in it. I ended up attacking with it more than my genesect using its second attack. But then again, most of my games were against a trubbish deck, and it was just too dangerous to leave genesect out with trubbish running around.
Here is the most interesting list I have made yet.
Pokemon - 12
2 Virizion EX PLB
3 Genesect PLB
3/3 Drifblim (1 PLB 2 DRX)
3 Victini EX PLS
1 Absol PLF
Tainers - 28
4 Catcher
4 Switch
3 Ultra Ball
3 Plasma Ball
1 G-Booster (Ace Spec)
3 Enhanced Hammer
2 Bycycle
1 Energy Search
4 Juniper
4 N
3 Skyla
2 Colress
1 Shadow Triad
Energy - 15
4 Blend (GFDP)
6 Grass
2 Fire
3 DCE
Victini as my energy accelerator and a 3/3 Blim line for the Plasma matchup. DCE for G-Booster.

You do realize you can only search for the Grass and Fire right..? I don't see much point in Victini-EX. The fact you need Fire destroys your consistency.... You don't need Absol either. Also I'd only run DCE if you ran Lugia and even then I find it questionable.

Re-read it. It can only search for basic energy and the only basic energy in his deck is Grass and Fire.
camoclone said:Oh... I thought you meant that it could only search for firePokewiz1999 said:.
Lol no
Anyone think Abomasnow is good in this deck? I've had someone say I should add it and my friend's apparently running it. I personally don't like it.
There's 8 Basic energy in there. That's plenty to power up Genesect and other attackers.
Blueinvader said:
Account for how many are prized and in your hand or discard after Ultra Ball/Juniper.
Plasma Frigate is also alright against Victini and company. It can be difficult to get Plasma Energy on your Pokemon sometimes, but it's just 1-2 cards, as opposed to Abomasnow which is 3-4. Bouffalant can be a bad starter if you don't run DCE, but it's better in other match ups. It also doesn't work if they play Stadiums.

I really don't think you need to be worried with victini. It's been said time and time again but unless you can make a god-like meta call and predict a ton of genesect/virizion decks it simply shouldn't be played. In my opinion it's just too much of a liability and the card falls to a lot of the meta. Keldeo destroys it, Plasma kyurem destroys it, and darkrai does a pretty good job taking prizes against it too. It's really not a solid choice except MAYBE as a tech in hydreigon if you expect a ton of genesect/virizion and feel comfortable playing it.
