DISCLAIMER:

Please note that this deck is made for the a japanese FRLG-on environment and includes all cards released thus far and available in this format.

MAIN IDEA:

The deck is built to combat the current weenie rush environment. In essence it constitutes a turn one disabler. The main idea is to start with Grimer or Eevee and evolve turn one to shut down their Poké-Powers. Both basics have the abilities to support a turn one lockdown. Turn two or one the evolved basic attacks to lock the defender in the active position. Further slow the other side with energy removal to ensure that the own team remains ahead in terms of resources on the battlefield.

SPOILER:

Eevee
Basic Colorless Pokémon

You can use this power once during your turn when you attach an energy card from your hand to Eevee. Search your deck for an evolution card that evolves from Eevee and is also the same type as the energy card you just attached, and play it on top of Eevee, evolving Eevee. Shuffle your deck afterwards. You can't use this power if you attach energy to Eevee as an effect of an attack.

In case you want to use Big Stump to take your damaged Umbreon out of play, or shut off Dark/Metal/Colorless Bodies you may want to put in 1 Battle Frontier.

Nice post, btw.

Hi bulbasnore,

Thanks for the review. Nice catch on the stadium. It was indeed ment to discard an Umbreon Ex close to death and also to counter Frontier and Shrine. Both tend to hurt Umbreon and thus an essential part of the disabler tactic somehow.
