Here is a deck that I think will be great!!!

Pokémon 22

4-3-1 Tangrowth SF/GE
2-1-2-1 Sceptile GE/SF
1-1 Shaymin/Lv.X PT (Platinum)
2 Azelf LA
2-2 Claydol

Trainers 24

4 Bebe's Search
3 Roseanes Research
3 Rare Candy
2 Switch
4 Poké Blower
4 Poké Drawer
2 Night Maintanence
2 Premier Ball
3 Leftovers


Energy 11

11 Grass Energy


The basic strategy is to get out Tangrowth and Sceptile and start spreading and doing main damage. Then Shaymin Lv.X comes in and gives Tangy a nice 150 HP and now you can comfortably begin doing good damage whilst powering up the bench. Also a bonus is that it goes ace against Kingdra and a Tangela (most often) start means no Sableye donks!!

==========================================================================
Shaymin LV.42 – Grass – HP70
Basic Pokemon

[G] Flower Aroma: 10 damage. Remove 2 damage counters from Shaymin, and the Defending Pokemon is now Asleep.
[G][C] Damage Aid: 30 damage. If the Defending Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition, this attack does an additional 50 damage. Then, remove all Special Conditions from the Defending Pokemon.

Weakness: Fire (+20)
Resistance: Water (-20)
Retreat: 1
==========================================================================

Shaymin LV.X – Grass – HP100
Level Up

Poke-Body: Sense of Gratitude
Each of your Grass-type Pokemon in play (excluding any Shaymin) has its maximum HP increased by 40. This Body stops working if you already have another Sense of Gratitude Poke-Body in effect.

[G][C][C] Seed Flare: 40 damage. You may choose any number of Grass Energy in your hand and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like. If you do, this attack does an additional 20 damage for each Energy card you attach.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: Water (-20)
Retreat: 1
==========================================================================

Any ideas or problems???

Dialga G LvX could give this deck some problems. It shuts down Tangrowth, Sceptile, Shaymin, AND Cherrim's Poke-Bodies. :/
 
Ofcourse it's a great deck, Joe, because you're a real Tangrowth fan. ;D
But I'd advice you to Tech up VS Dialga G lV.X since it gives your deck some spasms and fits.
Don't know what could work against it in this deck. I guess you'd better Snipe it in a few turns ASAP.
 
As already mentioned Dialga G - X is going to ruin this deck's day. You should consider Sceptile SF and Tangrowth GE as tech's to the deck. Once Dialga G is set you bring up your Tangrowth GE move all the energy to it with Sceptile SF and snipe the Diagla-G. Also replacing the 2 Warps with Blower will be of some help. The deck has enough healing power with Tangrowth's body and Dawn's that Healer is of questionable value. So I'd drop it. Cherim's nice but you will find you won't have the bench space for it. If you plan to run 1-1 Shaymin you are going to need Azelf. If your draw engine is Uxie then you are going to want 3 and the Lvl X. Not sure that Claydol isn't better in this deck, but that's easy to try by substituting the Uxie Line for a 2-2 Claydol.

So as a quick fix:

-4 Pokehealer
-4 Cherim Line
-1 Tangrowth SF
- 2 Treeko GE
- 2 Warp Point
- 1 Grass NRG
===
-14

+1 Scepile SF
+1 Grovyle SF
+3 Treeko SF
+1 Tangrowth
+1 Rare Candy
+1 Azelf
+4 Pokeblower
+1 Uxie
+1 Uxie Lvl X
===
+14

Now if Dialga G comes up you can either Blower it up to the active and destroy it or use Tangrowth GE to snipe it. Have fun, this is a great deck -- without the Shaymin it went 21 - 3 in Cities.
 
-2-2 Cherrim
-3 Grass Energy
-4 PokeDrawer
-1 Tangrowth SF
-1 Switch

-13

+4 PokeBlower
+1 Tangrowth GE
+1-1 Skymin
+3 Call Energy
+1 Grovyle
+1 Uxie lv.X
+1 Uxie

+13

Now you can actually counter Dialga G Lv.X with Blowers and Tangrowth GE. Grovyle adds consistency, 3-1 Uxie is your draw engine, and Calls are your starters.
