Mm, it's the conflicting energy requirements that are a problem.
If energy weren't such a problem, and if Kabutops didn't mind the fact that Prinplup takes away from the most important time for it (early game), then it... ALMOST could work.
Of course, since Kabutops has to be Active as soon as possible, you want to pair it with... Basically a bench sitter. Hence why Ampharos seems like a much better partner [del]though the deck fails to work for me. Just a bit frustrating that Ampharos comes REALLY slowly in my games and energy even slower[/del]
