Wailord Tank? (Masters, Cities)

I took this from the Player's Sandbox forum.. We've been discussing the idea of a Wailord tank deck.

3-2-3 Feraligatr Prime
4-4 Wailord Triumphant (SV Wailmers)
1-1 Blissey Platinum
1-1 Bronzong Cycler
2 Spiritomb
2 Uxie (LA)

4 Bebe's Search
2 BTS
2 Expert Belt
2 Cynthia's Feelings
1 Interviewer's Questions
3 Seeker
3 Super Scoop-Up
2 Warp Point
1 Pokemon Collector

16 Water Energy

Get Wailmer and Totodile down on the bench early. Once you get to Feraligatr and Wailord, it's all about getting energies. Interviewer's Questions is a good idea, but I kinda like sending a Wailmer/Wailord out there to tank and die to use Cynthia's Feelings as an extra method of card draw and energy gain. I don't have access to an Uxie X or a Floatzel GL X, or I would consider those. I've playtested this a lot on Redshark, and once Wailord gets fully energized, he takes out at least two pokemon every time. Are there any cards out there (hopefully, a trainer/supporter) that returns all the energies from my active to my hand? For instance, if I know I'm about to lose a fully-energized Wailord, take his energies and ready another one to come in once he dies? Just a thought.

As someone who runs Steelix Prime, I thought this would be easy: just swap out the Pokemon and you have the same deck, but with Wailord's "Moo Moo Milk" attack, accompanied with Warp Points, Seekers, and Scoop Ups, I feel like all those healing cards aren't really needed.

Thoughts? Thanks for all the help.[/align]
 
if you are running BTS and feraligatr, i would definetly suggest running floatzel gl x so when 1 wailord dies him and all cards attached to it are returned to your hand.
 
Consider running 4 Spiritomb for a higher chance of starting with it, and a 2-2 Wailord line, because Wailmer has a painful retreat cost if you start with it. You'd have another 2 slots which I recommend filling with PONT for consistency or some more healing cards.
 
so ive been playing around with a list as well. not to far off from yours.
3-2-3 gatr prime
3-3 wailord tm
1-1 bronzong sf
2 uxie
2 unown return
/20 poke

3 bebe
3 seeker
2 collector
2 interviewer
1 lucians
2 bts
2 dawn
2 expert belt
2 warp
2 ssu
2 communication
1 luxury
/24 tss

13 water
3 cyclone
/16 energy

instead of discarding cards with blissey to heal i use unown return and dawn. ssu and seeker make for multiple uses of uxie/unown or to get a damaged wailord back. in testing it has set up quick enough. if i cant get wailord set up, then set up gatr instead and 2 shot anything
