Shifturne (shiftry+cacturne d) plz r/f

[Rambo1000]

POKEMON (18)
4x Seedot (lm)
2x Nuzlead (cg)
4x Shiftry ex
4x Cacnea
4x Cacturne d

TRAINERS (28)
2x Giant Stump
3x Cursed Stone
4x PETM
4x Rare Candy
3x Dual Ball
3x Adventurer
2x Windstorm
3x Copycat (legal in next set)
2x Scientist
2x Mentor

ENERGY (14)
3x Holon's Electrode
4x Dark
5x Fighting
2x Dark Metal

Strategy: Get quick and easy damage on my opponents with Cacturne d, then snipe their bench with shiftry ex. Shiftry has a free retreat so i can just bring him back when i need to, plus his pokemon power destroys metanite and other good archetypes relying on them. Downside, he has 2 weaknesses to two popular types; grass and fighting. Good thing though, he has a resistance to psychic.

I think your better of with a Seedot from DX cause it has Collect.

 

[Rambo1000]

the one from lm lets me search for an energy though, so i can get a darkness ready for shiftry.

A friend of mine used Jolteon EX and Espeon EX and the entire evolved form of the deck had free retreat, but you can also use Houndoom in this next to Cursed Stone..

 

[Rambo1000]

i love the houndoom idea! thanks man i didnt think of it! i gotta get some more houndooms, all mine are in my Boom deck (banette/houndoom)... thanks!

Great Ball over Dual ball.

 

[Rambo1000]

alright can do.

 

[HITMAN]

What are you replacing with Houndoom...and why??

 

[Rambo1000]

possibly minus 1-1 cacturne plus 1-1 houndoom, but i doubt it. ill just throw houndoom in instead of cacturne and see how it does.

 

[zombieminun]

-1 shiftry ex, +1 shiftry DX(fan action)

but's that's just me...

 

[Hatter™]

^he plays cursed stone, dont think DX one would be a good idea

 

[Kenshin's Garde]

wait, cursed stone with cacturne d? :/ maybe bannete, but cacturne? i don't see the combo.

 

[Rambo1000]

im not planning on using all 4 cacturnes, just one until i get a shiftry or 2 powered up. i can get damage on their pokemon and when cacturne gets knocked out, play cursed stone.

 

[Sandslash7]

If you aren't planning on using all 4 Cacturne drop a 1-1 line and add a Shiftry LM.('cause he can bounce a Shiftry ex) Cursed Stone + Cacturne d isn't all that good, cause Cacturne gets hurt by it. You could toss in a surprise Cacturne ex or 2 to finish sweeping a hurt bench. (if you do that, leave the 4th Cacnea (CG) in.)

 

[Sketch]

Acctully, Cacturn Ex is a good idea because some many decks rund special energy(aka Holons casform, Holos trode, DRE). But i would hounestly put in Jolteon ex because heas a turn 2 that can wipe out most pokemon(expecially if you drop 2 on the second turn)

 

[Rambo1000]

yea im thinking about jolteon actually, thanks.
