Strategy:
Generally uses donphan prime for quick knock outs, hitting your bench at least once while setting up a machomp/machoke. Eventually play Machamp Prime, to switch out Donphan for the Machamp, moving all energies to him, and attaching a DCE for his first attack, but his second attack for 2 fighting and 2 colorless hit for 100+ 10 for each pokemon on your bench that has damage on it. Crobat + Poketurns to finish off pokemon that Donphan doesn't OHKO.

I'm not sure if you like this idea or not, but Sandslash SV might help.

Not really a fan of Sandslash.

Alright, just keep it mind plz. Also, have you tested this yet or are preparing for test?

I'm waiting for the card to come out, honestly. I just wanted some feedback. After a second look, I might consider the sandslash. Just Sandshrew start would suck.

To be quiet honest, starting (in my opinion) is the hardest part of the game. I like running about 15 basic pokemon and still start with 1 for a good majority of those matches. So I dropped the number some and just got more t/s/s's and started doing better. point- starting is only for a moment, and once it's done, you should only do better.
