^lol, gues I forgot which deck I was posting in XD Nah, that was just an example of it actually happening I wasn't suggesting it for this deck. Good luck Hatter.
 
I was sooo close to making top 8 with a 4-2 record, but I still had a good time. The deck did awsome, and the only 2 things I lost to were Magmortar/Blaziken, and and some kind of Empoleon deck. Beat a Banette round 1 too, but final round was the toughest. I donked my way to beat a Plox.
 
I got top 16 at my regionals with this. Lost to mirror in finals due to horrible hands. This is the most fun and competitive deck out here at the moment.

This deck got 2 Top 16 spots at St. Louis Regionals :)

I <3 this deck so much. I would play this at Nats if I was going. Seriously.
 
Well, considering I did this well with the deck, that essentially garuntees that its a beast deck. The rise of Skittles is at hand!!!

My list is pretty radically different from Hatter's, but for a few reasons. I had zero luck with Pachi in the deck, and found it to be completely dead weight. In its place, I used Furret. Furret was an AMAZING card in this, letting me set up my Togekisses like nothing and search out the key cards I needed to get just enough damage to KO big HP Pokemon like Gallade. Tech really depends on your metagame. I was expecting more Mag, but I didn't play one the whole day, so Crawdaunt didn't do quite as much as I had hoped. That said, being able to do 80 out of nowhere with a Boost is nice. Cessation would've been a nice touch, stuck on an aggro togekiss or something, just so you can shut down important powers like Telepass for a turn or two. I decided to play only 1 night maintenance instead of 2, and though I used it almost every game, I didn't feel like I needed a 2nd one.

I'm glad that this deck made a big showing at regionals all over, and I hope other people screwed with the list as much as I did and had success. Hopefully people will use whichever variant they like better, since they're both great.
 
Oooooo Furret looks yummy here. Back when I was testing with the fishing engine list, I tried Furret and really liked it. The only problem I have with it is that it makes you really vulnerable to Wager...was that a problem at all for you? I might also drop an energy or something for Roseanne's #3 since you don't have Pachi.

Congrats with your finish! Methinks that this might have just broken the meta open along with Arithmetic.
 
I switched night before regionals from Pachi/Claydol to just Furret. I was thinking that my bench was tight and was having Dusknoir nightmares. I also added 2XHolon circle to let me unlock one turn for Kiss. I was only wagered once in 8 games. Went 5-2 in swiss but was eliminated T16 by Mag Dusknoir. (I have to make room for WP.)

Thanks Hatter!

The few times I was wagered (2 times in top 4 for sure), it was already too far into the game to make a huge difference. Now obviously being wagered right after a furret would suck, but chances are they would run out of wagers before you'd run out of furret. ;)

I didn't really use this deck, but I did use a Togekiss/Ho-Oh deck, and got fourth place at Mid Atlantic Regionals. My deck has Sableye SW instead of Pachirisu, trainers instead of supporters, and no Holon energy or Claydol.

that makes it:

1 1st
