Staraptor - Colorless - HP130
Stage 2 - Evolves from Staravia

[C][C][C] Wing Attack: 60 damage.
[C][C][C][C] Strong Breeze: Shuffle the Defending Pokemon, and all cards attached to it, back into your opponent’s deck.

Weakness: Lightning (x2)
Resistance: Fighting (-20)
Retreat: 1

With Scramble switch and a T1 Thundrus could this work? If you did get it up and going by T2 it could be pretty devasting I think.

How is shuffling a Pokémon back into the deck T2 from a stage 2 devasting?
 
Maybe if you had broken time space, Porygon 2, Seeker and VS Seeker then sure.
Otherwise not so much.
 
You could do the same thing more easily with Pokedex/Ether/Carnivine. Probably still not a top-tier idea, but it requires fewer cards.
 
Well, as for me, I'd like it more if people sat down a played games instead of trying to find ways to not play. Just take all 6 prizes.

Your comment makes it seem like you're new to the game. There are actually multiple ways you can win a game of Pokemon! None of these methods are more or less legitimate than the other methods. All of them are win conditions, and once you've satisfied a win condition (or if you satisfy more win conditions than your opponent), you win the game! Amazing.

WINNING THE GAME
You can win the game in 3 ways:
1. Take all of your Prize cards.
2. Knock Out all of your opponent’s in-play Pokémon.
3. If your opponent can’t draw a card at the start of his or her turn.

You thin think I know this...
 
Guys, I think you misunderstand the idea. The target is not to donk (which would be completely naive to focus on since it comes T2 and everyone plays balls etc) but to instantly get rid of all threats from T2 on and hope the opponent can't keep up.

It still doesn't work imo, but that's the point (yes, the thread title is misunderstandable). It's not game denial. And Carnivine wouldn't do the job since it sends the Pokémon to the opponent's hand instead of his deck.

Oh, that's an important distinction if you're not trying for the donk, true. :) Although wasting one or two of your opponent's attachments, or wasting an evolution/candy, is still helpful.
 
With The supporter that gets rid of your oponents trainer cards they wont have access to balls to get out more pokemon and if you can clear the field of Pokemon you win
 
Obviously it's not a donk deck, the OP just used incorrect terminology...surely most of you can see that. Seems like a good idea in theory, though a stage 2 AND 4 energy attack (or 2 with DCE) is a hard to imagine as a strong deck. Set up Staraptor and try and run your opponent off the field - sounds like a fun concept.

Well you cant Donk T1 but you can T2. You still win if your opponets have no pokemon in play, IT does not matter if you draw a prize or not.

Anytime a player looses when they get fewer then 3 turns I personally consider it a donk.

A few weeks ago in CC. I started with a Landros EX and my opponent started with two Piplups.
I wont the toss and went first. I attached and hit both for 30. He drew and played a Cheren and said Good game.
He showed me his hand he had a Rare Candy and an Empoleon. Yea I KO'd both both Piplups and won T2. I consider that a donk win. I dont know how it can be considered anything other then that.
