As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may attach 1 [W] Energy card to 1 of your Pokemon. (This doesn’t use up your 1 Energy card attachment for the turn.)

Squirtle – Water – HP60

Retreat: 1

Keldeo-EX – Water – HP170

Once during your turn (before you attack), if this Pokemon is on your Bench, you may switch it with your Active Pokemon.

Search your deck for a Trainer card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).

Computer Search – Trainer
Item

Discard two cards. Search your deck for any one card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.

ACE SPEC: You can’t have more than 1 ACE SPEC card in your deck.

You can use any number of Item cards during your turn.

Escape Rope – Trainer

Your opponent switches his or her Active Pokemon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokemon, if any. You switch your Active Pokemon with 1 of your Benched Pokemon, if any.

You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn (before your attack)

Why use Dunsparce when you could use Virizion NVI? They have the same attack, but Virizion has higher HP and a better weakness. The only good thing I see about Dunsparce is the free retreat, which is useless with escape rope and Keldeo's ability.
 
The list looks pretty standard. I like it a lot. My only suggestion is to throw in super scoop ups, so you can pick up the heavily damaged Pokemon, like Keldeo. Then you rain dance, and bring out the fresh Keldeo, like nothing happened.
 
To be honest I don't think skyla will ever be a good card more like a waste of a supporter the n is for early game consistency to get set up kp this isn't Durant all decks use n knowing the late game risks and tbh u could get away with three in this deck if u dont need/don't want later in the game ultra ball it away if you choose to take out skyla I also recommend taking out the random receiver as it has not much value (imo) in a deck with 11-13 draw supporters. You could replace them with tool scrappers
 
I have 3 Skyla and Virizion helps a lot with draw. idk what to toss to fit in a couple scrappers though

You don't want to use Virizion just for draw, that is just insane and inconsistent.
I could take those cards out for stuff such as Heavy Balls, and things to search out other cards (that isn't a supporter)

Unless I'm mistaking, Skyla allows players to search out about half of their deck, so I don't see how that's a waste of a supporter... With that said, I think the max I'd ever run are two, outside of maybe Magnezone decks...

Skyla is too situtational.
If you need catcher for game, you can just run Roserade...
WAY MORE CONSISTENT.
And a 1-1 line > 1 Skyla
 
I think im gonna keep the skyla. with my list it allows me to get a candy to evolve to blastoise a turn sooner, search out any pokemon, get 2 waters out of the discard, use escape rope, and search for any one card.

From testing i just think its too useful i was even considering trying to max it. I was gonna probably toss and escape rode cuz of keldeos ability but garbador gives me problems. I was thinking like:

-1 Escape Rope
-2 Random Recievers

+1 Skyla
+2 Tool Scrapper (also grabbed by Skyla)
 
I plan on running the same thing. This is my current list.

Pokemon (12)
2 Mewtwo EX
3 Keldeo EX
3-1-3 Blastoise

Item (19)
1 Computer Search
1 Super Rod
2 Eviolite
2 Bicylce
3 Ultra Ball
3 Pokemon Catcher
4 Rare Candy
4 Energy Retrieval

Supporter (15)
3 Skyla
4 N
4 Professor Juniper
4 Bianca

Energy (14)
4 Double Colorless Energy
10 Water Energy

Your list gave me a lot of ideas though! Back to the drawing board!
