I've been running 4-4 Scizor 3-3 Cherrim (Really, any more than that is unnecessary and slows your potential T2 Scizor down.), 2 Unown Q, 2 Unown G.
I've been getting Scizor out T2 every game with my new trainer line.
I personally don't see the point in running evolutor. You should be trying to fill your deck with possible draw cards as opposed to wasting space on evolution when you should have multiple ways to have Scizor out immediatly.
Dusk Ball > Poke Ball. With as few pokemon that you run in the deck, the chance of getting at least one of what you need is actually much better than you might imagine, especially if it is well shuffled, is much higher from 7 on the bottom than it would be to just flip a coin and get nothing out of it at all.
Dawn Stadium is also not needed. Usually when you want to use the effect of Dawn, you won't even be needing to attach any additional energies to them because you will already have both the energies you need.
I also like POV over Bucks and don't even bother with Pluspower. You'll be two shotting mostly everything in format, and anything you don't get rid of you knock off with Accel.
I've been able to keep up with some really tricky decks with this nasty thing.
That's not true at all.
If you already have a scizor out, and have 3 decked, and have drawn 10 cards, with 6 prizes, that's 16/60 cards, leaving 44. If you try to dusk ball that's looking through less than 1/6th of the deck for only 3 outs, which is less than 50%. That's for scizors, and the less you run of a pokemon (cherrim, unown Q, etc) the worse the odds are with dusk ball. It's really bad when you only have 1 or 2 of the pokemon left- dusk ball will hardly ever get it.
30 cards in deck with 2 scizors, that's still not even fifty percent. 1 scizor with 20 cards remaining? If a scizor or scyther is prized and 1 is KOd and you have 2 scythers with a 35 card deck? Good luck getting it with dusk ball.
Pokeball is better than duskball. Dusk ball is just a trash card to clean your hand. It will rarely get the exact pokemon needed.
