Ok now, Before you take one look at it and think that I'm some kind of Newbie with no sense of Deck Building Skill, I'll remind you that this is for Fun and was built to test my own In-Game Playing ability.
This deck is as Fun as it is Challenging!

The point of the deck is to take rarely ever used Pokemon and use them successfully in a deck together!

I actually started this Deck with the Idea of Reviving old Fossil Kabutops and Omastar but got so Side-tracked that this is where I ended up!

Now, It may not seam logical to use the Both water and Fighting together the way I did but I intended to Add Wooper and Quagsire as well but I figured they wouldn't hold up very well with these other guys!

Prehistoric Wash-out!

Pokemon:
Omastar x2
Omanyte x2
D. Omanyte x2
D. Omastar x2
Kabuto x2
Kabutops x2
Corsola x2
Cleffa (Promo) x2
Magby x1
Ditto x1
Total: 18

Trainers:
Mysterious Fossil x4
Fossil Egg x4
Pokemon Breeder x2
Pokemon Trader x2
Energy Search x3
Rocket's Secret Experiment x3
Energy Flow x2
Sabrina's Gaze x2
Lucky Stadium x1
Pokemon Tower (Promo) x1
Total: 24

Energy:
Fighting x7
Water x7
Rainbow x4
Total:18

The Stratagy is to get Get out Kabutops as fast as I can with help from Mysterious Fossil, Fossil Egg, Omanyte's Power, and Pokemon Breeder. I did want you Put in Pokemon Breeder Fields too but I didn't know where to put it!

If you're wondering why I have Promo Cleffa, Magby, and Ditto in this deck I can explain. When I first built this deck, I didn't notice that Corsola was my only two Basics. Imagine trying to play with that first hand!!!
So I decided to add in a Cleffa but I didn't have anymore NeoGs. Then I remembered I wanted to add in a few Bills too then it hit me, Promo Cleffa still gives me a Staller and give me to free cards! It might even work better then NeoG Cleffa!
I added Magby to do away with Powers that don't help me and it doesn't interfer with my Powers either since all of my Powers are once per turn anyway!
I also added ditto for two reasons: 1. Because I needed another basic and 2. I've never used him before!

All my trainers are for getting out my Final Evolutions and the energy to power them!
I also added a Card or two to slow my Opponent down!

I wasn't sure about how much energy I needed so I just added 7(F), 7(W), and 4 Rainbow, Just to balance them!

Believe me, If you like Evolutions, Flips, and Challenges, this deck will be a lot of fun!

making decks for fun is great, isn't it?! i love making decks just to battle with my friends and such, not to be pressured by the common archetypes present in the league nowadays.

i have a water/fighting deck too, and as u suggested Wooper/Quagsire don't go well with those guys. so why not make a whole different deck out of it?

i currently have a Quagsire/Dark Vaporeon deck, which concentrates on ER but still does decent damage. that deck can stall and kill at the same time. add in some ER and SER, since i just play with friends, not at the league yet, and u have a deck to be reckoned with!

as for ur deck, u have way too little basic pokemon. i suggest u just concentrate on either Kabutops or Omastar (Neo Discovery are good) and add ur support pokemon. don't play both in the same deck, they don't compliment each other.

that was my 2 cents. don't steal it or anything, it's just 2 cents, nothing more...

I originally Intended to make It all Prehistoric Pokemon Only But being limited only to M. Fossil and Fossil Egg took the fun out of that.

Also, I guess I didn't provide enough info for my Choices in which Pokemon I used either!

Pokemon:
Omastar(ND) x2
Omanyte(ND) x2
D. Omanyte(NDi) x2
D. Omastar(NDi) x2
Kabuto(ND) x2
Kabutops(ND) x2
Corsola x2
Cleffa (Promo) x2
Magby x1
Ditto x1
Total: 18

I forgot to mention, Even though I started with Fossil Kabutops and Omastar, I did choose Neo Discovery Kabutops and Omastar when I finished!

Also, Having so few Basics do help in one aspect! I can get my much needed Fossil Eggs and M. Fossils much faster! Getting the Pokemon out isn't very hard at all! It's Powering them up fast enough that is the Problem! Kabutops uses only one Energy well enough but the others tend to need them coming much faster!

yep, powering up is basically ur problem. but that's why u have Kabutops! for 1 energy 20 damage is great, and Hydrocutter offers up to 120 damage for only 3 energy, with no confusion, etc (not like Vileplume).

that gives me another idea: stick with Kabutops. ditch both Omastar and D. Omastar. support it with Wooper/Quagsire and Gligar. that should give u a strong deck that is quick enough for ur tastes. let me try to make a deck list for this one:

Pokemon (19):
3 Kabuto (NDis)
3 Kabutops (NDis)
4 Wooper (either)
3 Quagsire (NR)
3 Cleffa (NG)
2 Pichu (NG)
1 Magby (NG)

Energy (18):
8 Fighting
8 Water
2 DCE

Trainers (23):
4 Elm
4 Bill
3 Focus Band/Gold Berry
2 Secret Mission
2 Lucky Stadium
2 Mysterious Fossil
2 Fossil Egg
2 Pokemon Trader
2 Rocket's Secret Experiment

ur main attacker here is Kabutops, with his 3 energy-120 damage possibility, and it isn't fighting type, not applying resistance to fighting-resistant pokemon (a bit redundant, isn't it?) Quagsire is a good staller, with Whirlpool attack (which still does 40 damage, not too shabby)

u only have 2 Fossils and 2 Eggs coz once u get a Kabuto, u can get them out without the Eggs or Fossils (with the Power) Breeder isn't too good here coz there are only 2 Fossils and 3 Kabutops. Elm, Bill, and Lucky Stadium are for drawing, making this deck quick and strong. Trader if u need a quick Kabutops, and only use Rocket's Secret Experiment if u are desperate to get a Mysterious Fossil or Fossil Egg out. use DCE for Quagsire's Whirlpool for even quicker charging up.

wow, i really like this deck. mind if i make one like it? [Bounce]
