Those are all just a little bit wrong. Do some play testing of your own instead of harassing US players and lurking the Gym and maybe you'd have a better idea of what's in these decks. Maybe you'd even find a new combo of your own?

Wow, didn't think it'd be possible but ALL FOUR of those are off.
 
No deck should ever play PokeBall. Victory Medal is superior since for the same odds, you get a choice of ANY card in you deck, including the Pokémon. If there is a TRUK engine it probably plays NO POTION, NO POKEBALLS, but maybe Pokedex Handy 910is and posssibly Pokenav. Even more likely it plays Castaway + Tools.

PokeBall has a 50% chance of getting you any Pokémon.
Victory medal has a 50% chance of drawing a single card.

Victory medal does have a 25% chance of searching for any card which makes up for the rubbish 50% single draw. However I'm not sure that you can conclude that Victory medal is better than PokeBall.


As to the whole TRUK thing with so many TRUKs it seems like the word TRUK has become meaningless and is just a synonym for DECK :(

How are the odds 50% to draw a single card?
 
Victory medal says flip two coins...so four outcomes

TT : Fails!
TH : Draw a card
HT : Draw a card
HH : Search for any card and then shuffle.

Two of the possible four outcomes are draw a single card. Which is 50%
 
From what I understand, your average Blissey-combo deck tends to use Castaway, Quick Ball (and sometimes Great Ball), Holon Mentor, Night Maintenance (and TSD if you have it), sometimes Pokedex Handy910is, Plus Power (seemingly a must in almost every deck), and your favorite Pokemon Tools (usually Strength Charm, although Cessation Crystal could be used in Blisscario and Pure Bliss decks) as Trainers and often abuses the Holon Energies (especially FF+:fire: and WP+:water:).

The purpose of the deck is speed. The Trainer engine can also be used in similar stage 1 decks, such as Kricketune and the upcoming Eeveelutions deck.

But don't take my word for it. Build a deck, test it in League and/or on Apprentice or Redshark, and tweak as needed. That's how good combos are born.

ah, ok
you could also call it 18 Wheeler (or something on the theme), since thats basically what it is once it sets up
 
and No... only the Japanesse play Pokeball..... Seeing as they have mad "I always get heads" skills

Japanese players normally don't play Pokeball that much, since Quick Ball is superior. The standard T2 Scizor ex build naturally had 4 Quick Balls in it, but for Worlds the Japanese players were not allowed to play their most recent cards, so they had to take out their Quick Balls. Pokeball was the only card that could replace Quick Ball's role in the deck. Quick Ball is a non-supporter card that gets you Scizor ex 100 % of the time (after a Mentor), while Poke Ball is a non-suppoerter card that gets you Scizor ex 50 % of the time. As close as you can get.

If suddenly someone forced you to NOT play MT at your next Battle Road, I'm sure you too would miss Quick Ball so much you'll start using Pokeballs. :p
