ok, so the strat is to beef up scizor's first attack so you are 1-2 shotting everything and getting immuntiy every other turn. Cherrim boosts your pokemon's attacks by 10 for each one in play, so if you have 2-3 on your bench, Accelerate is doing 50-60 damage a turn w/o buck's training. Add in Shaymin's hp boost, and you have a 140hp tank smacking for 50-60 a turn for 2 nergy w/ immunity to stuff every other turn. and if you need a little extra fire power, Push through does 70+10 for your shaymin/bucks. You cant use pokemon with powers in this deck, so why should you let your opponent? Aerodactyl makes sure that those pokemon take a well deserved beating for being so rude. if your opponent is running claydol, they have 4 Cosmic powers before it dies on them. you would be surprised how many powers you use in a turn and the aerodactyl damage will start to add up. you have ALOT of room in this deck to mess around with the trainer line. your start will want to be something not old amber, preferably scyther. 4 call energy and 4 TM1 make it so that you can have a good start out of any of your pokemon.

You're running 20 Pokemon, not 12, which puts you at 68 cards, or 67 if that 1-1 Aero included the Amber in your trainer list. Might want to reconfigure things a little.

I don't think Aerodactyl is going to do anything here since that lone Old Amber is likely never going to see play, unless you Pokedrawer for it and even then you'd have to draw into two of them, which you will probably not do with any consistency with only Buck's as your draw power. Also, even with Aerodactyl, Wager is not going to be worth it because w/out your own Claydol for recovery, you're really making a dangerous gamble, and if they lose, taking 20 from Aero assuming you even were able to get it out is a small price for them to get back on their feet.

I think some Roseanne's Research are in order here, even with Call and Quick Ball. You could drop the Wager for 3 of them, and then use that 4th Wager spot for a PlusPower. Then you could drop a Warp Point and a grass energy for two more of those. The Aero and the Old Amber could be ditched for a 4th PlusPower and a Time Space Distortion. One of the Night Maintenance could also be dropped for a 2nd of these. In a deck like this, TSD > NM, since it provides instant retrieval of at least one part of one of your key lines most of the time and possibly both parts of one other times. Your energy requirements max at 2 (excluding Shaymin level X, but you wouldn't be attacking with it anyway), so one less NM to grab energy is no big deal.
 
yeah band camp! And when the set with all these cards comes out, luxury ball also comes out. So drop one of the quick balls for it. Drop a Night Maintenance for a TSD and maybe find space for a 1-1 claydol.
 
hmmm.... A very good point. Next time I should probably read the card. In that case you definitely need some more draw trainers. Bucks training is good but it's only 2 cards. Maybe some POV or felicity's.
 
I still think you are going to want PlusPower to be able to have the potential to OHKO 130 HP stuff such as Empoleon, Kingdra, Magmortar lv. X, etc. with Scizor. Something like Empoleon can OHKO you with relative ease, with or without Shaymin Level X in play (they can get an early Aqua Shower/Splatter + Brine/Dual Splash in then follow up with a Surf Together later with a full bench, dealing 140 without even activating Scizor's Body, and if the Level X isn't in play... well, you know, just one full Surf Together). Having the ability to do the same back to them just seems like it would be a perk.
