Strategy:

Hopefully start with Dome Fossil and attach for Kabuto. Then try to get t2 Kabutops and kill their trainers and thus setup.

Aerodacyl is for killing Claydol's, Uxie's, anything with power; I also find him better then Amphy because I dont have to use rare candy and I can get old amber with Kabuto's "Ancient Guidance"

Regirock+Stark Mountain is for placing two energy on Kabutops a turn, thus making t2 Kabutops possible.


This has a good matchup on Kingdra, Raichu anything with lots of trainers. It two hits mostly anything (zomg, watch out for Wailord.Dec :O)

I'm thinking Unknown G would fit somewhere? Gotta protect stuff from Gengar/Dusknoir?

Any thoughts?

No way to get your fossils back from the discard is going to be an issue! Excavators.. need them!

I know this is completely against the entire strategy of your deck, but I would advise having some sort of back up pokemon with kabutops just incase he doesnt get out so fast.

I would suggest something like

Yanmega (free attack to spread 10 to everyone)

or my personal favorite Gliscor

because you can paralyze, burn, poison (when you level up)

then bring up kabutops and they cant attack, so you get two free attacks against them since they cant play switch or warp.
 
I like this list a lot. The only thing I might do differently is fit in some fossil excavators. GL at cities!
 
Yeah looking back at fossil excavator, that'd be a good idea, combined with some feedback from pokebeach Ive decided:

-1 Rose
-1 Uxie

+2 fossil excavator
 
I have a couple of questions/concerns:

How do you intend on getting :fighting: energy into the discard to do your Regirock/stark mountain/t2 kabutops trick?

Strangely enough, I don't think you need rare candy for this deck. With kabuto rock reacting t1, and evolving to kabutops t2, the only aid a rare candy drop would do would be to have a single turn earlier lock on trainers.

Spiritomb is rather useless too, as Kabutops needs an initial dmg counter on someone in order to spread. Without something else to aid in your spreading, I would say take out the tomb. Otherwise he is just prize bait.
 
You can only Stark's once per turn. I don't see the point in playing Buck's. Drop Spirtomb it's a waste of a bench space. Maybe play Felicity's for draw.
 
yeah, I guess I do need felicitys for discard. I miss TVR :( lol

I still think bucks is really important not only for draw but the +10 damage has won me games.

Good point on the rare candy, but some should still be there for t1 trainer lock methinks.

-1 RC
+1 Felicitys?

idk about spritomb, should I put in a zapdoes?

-Spritomb
+ Felicitys?
 
Yeah, I used to use amphy, Its kinds hard to get out though.

Areo is a stage 1 and you can get old amber out with Ancient Guidance.
 
go fossil excavators they help you get your fossils from your graveyard and your deck its a must to make it faster
 
Bump from the past but with info,

Today at league I won 4/5 games with the exact list above.

I beat Glacy/Leafy, Geng/Dusk, Raichu, and random.dec.
Lost to Glacy/Leafy when we had a rematch.

just fyi... lol
