1 Shiftry (LM)
3 Mew ex
3 Bulbasaur (Gouge)
2 Ivysaur
2 Venusaur (POP2)
2 Venusaur ex
2 Eevee (CFF)
2 Espeon ex
2 Holon Magneton

Energy 13
4 Rainbow
9 Grass

Trainers 23
3 Rare Candy
4 Stadium
3 PETM
2 Steven's Advice
2 Rocket's Admin
2 Holon Mentor
3 Holon Trainciever
1 Holon Scientist
2 ATM Rock

Strategy:
Well, I waited until the last minute (totally forgot the deadline was today) to do this and suffered a computer crash during the first attempt. Anyways, I decided to go with something totally off the wall.
Start with Mew, play Seedot and use it's attack through Versatility to get an extra energy attachment. Hopefully by T2 you'll have Nuzleaf, Venusaur ex or POP2 Venusaur out. The main focus of the deck is spinning tail-type bench destruction with Wide Solar Beam. Use wide Solar Beam repeatedly early game and cripple your opponent's set up by targeting their key cards. Feint Attack and Tail Snap make for good sniping attacks to pick off threats.
Venusaur ex isn't totally necessary, but I liked the idea of having his first attack at Mew's disposal and the energy transing ability. Espeon ex is in there for the cheaper snipe attack (besides the fact it applies weakness to the active if necessary) and to help keep the opponent's bench down.
Shiftry is in there because Seedot is. I like the attack on the DX one as well as the active switching power, but the new LM one is nice to because you can return Espeon ex for another use.
I decided to throw the Holon engine in, since there isn't a real good basic getter in the deck. I considered Dual Ball and Great Ball, but it seemed that too many Pokemon were needed too quickly to just rely on good flips.
I realize ATM Rock can't be used by Mew ex, but there are plenty of evolutions in the deck that can use it when the time is right (besides, Devo Flash+ATM=1 devestated legit Pidgeot/any stage 2 ).

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Whoops. Copied that list from the wrong file. xD 4 Stadium should be 4 Battle Frontier. I would edit it, but it won't let me. So double post! Go bump eliminator!
