The reason why Zekrom is being down hyped is because of this one very deck. Its supposed to be a secret because of its huge advantage over SO many decks. Well, without further ado, here is the secret deck list:
3-3 Wailord
2-2 Donphan
2-2-2 Renuculus
3 cleffa
3 pokemon collector
2 petm
3 seeker
2 copycat
1 engineer
4 ssu
2 junk arm
3 pokemon communication
4 dual ball
2 switch
1 Flower shop lady
4 rainbow
8 water
2 fighting
This deck is actually a few weeks old . The main idea of this deck is to set up a Reuniclus and a Wailord with the 4 energy on it for 100 every turn. Reuniclus is used to move any damage onto a benched Wailord which is then brought up with a Seeker or SSU. Cleffa's are used to set up of course. The Donphan is put in as a tech against Magnezone and Zekrom, however it is still a very close matchup.
Now this deck is mainly built on losing a few prizes early on but once it is set up, only Zek and Magnezone pose a real threat. This is why people are trying to keep these decks down.
As for matchups:
:metal:Yanmega Varients - 55/45 slightly favorable
Drop both Solosis at the same time so the Yanmega can only kill one. Once you set up the Reuniclus you can begin to move damage onto your Wailord and begin attacking. After you set up against Yanmega, which is fairly consistent, then you're opponent will almost never take another prize card. The late game advantage is huge here.
MewGar - 40/60
This is a little bit of a harder matchup because it has quite a few Pokemon. However, you would set up quick with Donphan and begin killing Mews on turn 2. As far as getting Pokemon out of your hand, you want to lay them down asap and use Junk Arm to dispose of the rest. You dont want to really ever search out Pokemon unless you are planning on keeping them from your hand.
Zekrom - 50/50
This is a difficult matchup because of the quick set up for Zekrom and the slow set up and weakness of Wailord. Granted, you will have Donphans ready to take out Zekrom. This is the deck that can wipe out Wailord completely if it is set up fast, however.
MagneBoar - 55/45 Slightly Favorable
Use Donphan as the main attacker but build up a Wailord as well. While Magnezone can still OHKO a Donphan, it uses 4 energy to do so. With Flower Shop Lady, they are looking at 12 lost zoned energy for only 3 prizes which is a pretty big problem for Magnezone. Wailord is there to take care of Reshi and Emboars and can literally stop Magnezone in its tracks. The set up is about as fast for both decks.
Any other Deck -75/25
Unless you are just unlucky with prized cards, Wailord/Donphan/Reuniclus stops every deck not listed here with ease. It is phenomenal how powerful it is and how devastating its late game can be against many decks. Just remember, it will lose 2-3 prizes in the beginning to set up, but once it is there, it cannot be taken down by anything other than Lightning types or a Machamp with a full bench and 3 Plus Powers.
