I'll begin by saying that I am relatively new to the current TCG, seeing as up till a few months ago I hadn't picked up a Pokemon Deck in 9 years, roughly 12 years old. I've got a good grip on what's to be used if you want to compete on a Worlds level, but I just can't bring myself to just use one of the same 5 decks everyone else is using. I started with the Royal Guard deck because Nidoking has always been my favorite Pokemon, and although I know it's slow and can't go toe to toe with the meta, I still want to make a modified deck with him while he's still in rotation. After going through old TM/RR Monarchy lists, I've come up with this, but I'm sure there's at least some room for improvement. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
3-1-3 Nidoking
4-2-4 Nidoqueen
2 Cleffa
19
8 Fighting
4 Psychic
4 DCE
16
4 Rare Candy
3 Communication
3 Catcher
4 PETM
3 Black Belt
3 Collector
2 Twins
2 Switch
1 PONT
25
Strategy: Basically, swarm Queens, letting them do as much work as possible while setting up a King (maybe 2). As slow as the deck is it's almost a guarantee that I lose a couple prizes early so Queen can hit with 80 with Prize Count. Let a Queen do as much as it can, then bench it before it gets KO'd, thus reserving it to boost King's HP when his time comes.
