This deck is built on tanking Bastidion G. Use Jirachi to get the deck set up. I don't see why people hyped a little electric squirrel that could fill your bench, and not this. This thing is awesome. It can search out cards in your deck, can duplicate already strong supporter effects, and has a nice 2-for-twenty attack. Nice HP, a rare weakness, and free retreat. It even has resistance to one of the most-played types. What's not to like?

If you draw a Cyrus, use it, and get a SP radar, an energy, and a roseanne's/flint's spirit depending on how set up you are. That way, you get a pokemon, an energy, and another supporter for next turn. If you have jirachi, duplicate it, and get same; just grab an energy gain, power spray, etc. instead.

Once jirachi dies, you can use weavile to power up a bastidion, or you can bring up uxie x and give them a good Zen Smack. In the end, you'll have a bastidion ready to go, one way or another, using manual power, flint, or weavile.

Now, using bastidion, go crazy with it's second attack, doing serious damage. With weavile, you can be doing 80 per shot, healing 10, and with the metal, reducing 10. By the time Bastidion's got a lot of damage, you can just scoop it, and bring up another. (which is where your opponent screams in frustration and the judge comes over and smacks him/her)

This deck isn't perfect, however, and has a few big weaknesses. The lack of stadiums can be pretty bad here, and since Bastidion has a rather large retreat, special conditions are a nuisance. This deck doesn't snipe, either, so hiding behind worthless sacrifices is a good way for opponents to set up. If they do that, power up and get that wall out of there. NEVER let them get up a big hitter like machamp or something, they are particularly hard to take down.

This deck is good against virtually all g decks, laughing at toxitank because bastidion is a g pokemon too. All you have to do is set up a bastidion with 1 energy gain, 1 sp metal, 2 sp dark, and have a weavile on the bench, and you'll tear through them amazingly fast. Just watch out for the power spray on your weaviles or uxies.

However, this deck is somewhat bad against kingdra and machamp, owing to the fact that kingdra is fast and machamp OHKO's everything. Against kingdra, sp metals are very important, not so much the dark, seeing as weavile is gone in four turns. Speed is key here.

Blaizekin is a huge problem, so if it's popular, don't play this. For matchup, see machamp.

If I missed anything or anybody has changes, PLEASE post. All help is welcome. Thx.-Bug

Ummm... Well, if you're going to use the Weaviles, then why not use Moonlight and get Free retreat while you're at it? I mean, if you've got it, use it. Secondly, you should probably through in an Unown G or 2 in case of Machamp. Thirdly, In order for Jirachi to search out any card, it kinda has to die. It's great for replicating supporters and the search is good, but that effect can't be activated at will. Pachirisu was so good because unless I'm mistaken, no other Call for Family attack can get 3 pokes. Also, with SP decks running rampant, Energy gain is everywhere. Pachirisu's second attack gets rid of the opponents tool card then lets you look at their hand to get rid of all tool cards of the SAME NAME. Depending on when you use that, you've just cut the speed of an SP deck by at least half.
