Strategy: For those who are like... wait... what...? Theres a wobbuffet BREAK? And also for those who are like... wait... why are you running wobbuffet break?? I am going to answer those questions right now. For those who are unaware; Wobbuffet Break has 140hp and for one psychic and one colorless energy, you may do any damage back to your opponent that was done to this pokemon by attacks even if it knocks out this pokemon (then discard all energies attached to wobbuffet after). This card, while seems unfit for any competitive deck, may have some room as far as slowing down your opponent. Wobbuffet is a great stall to any deck, and adding 40+ more hp on it doesn't hurt and potentially knocking out your opponent as well. I have tried most variants (practically all variants at this point) and have found no contender to stand beside Primal Groudon's massive shadow. Carbink/Groudon was okay, but had nothing to stop greninja. Wobb/carbink/groudon was also tricky against greninja decks and the ever so popular fairy toolbox. I figure if I could revamp wobb/groudon duo once again, but in a way no one has thought of.

Essentially, a great stall to most counter decks. Greninja Break has some issues with this deck, because of the constant sniping from the active position, but with wobb it makes that job just that annoying. Essentially no shaymin for the opponent, and practically no abilities. I would love a lot of input on this deck. Explain to me what works and whats broken about this deck. I thrive on ya'lls input and much is appreciated!
 
I'm a competitive player who likes a variety of attack options when possible. I'm also a big fan of Wobbuffet (Bide Barricade) too. However, Carbink (Safeguard) has been such a solid partner to P Groudon EX, that I find it difficult to exclude it since it can "wall" opponents' EX Pokémon, as well as provide some energy attachment-acceleration. I've played against a variety of P Groudon decks, and found this Carbink to be quite annoying at times.

So, I'd suggest the following for your consideration:

-2 Wobbuffet
-1 Wobbuffet BREAK
-1 F

+2 Carbink (Safeguard)
+2 Carbink BREAK

By the way, since Carbink BREAK's Diamond Gift can recover discarded energy cards, should your Rainbow energy be replaced with actual Psychic energy? This replacement would also make your Professor's Letter and Super Rod more effective too. Should you incorporate Psychic energy, you may also want to incorporate 1 Energy Switch too.

Instead of 2 Max Potion, consider replacing 1 with Olympia for some (albeit meager compared to Max Potion) healing and switching the Active back to the bench. Fortunately, Olympia can be re-played via VS Seeker unlike Max Potion.

Why no Groudon Spirit Links?

I hope you find these comments helpful.

Saying you run 6 special energy, I would think that it would work out to put one of two (but no more) special charge into the list.
