Strategy: Use Meganium and Nidoqueen to do massive searching. It greatly thins the deck to hit better trainers/energies while supplying you with a strong bench and Holon's Castform to provide energy. Meganium is amazing in the Empoleon/Lucario matchup, due to Meganium's resistance to Empoleon and its Delta Reduction attack (the most damage Empoleon can do is 10, meaning it would take 11 attacks to bring down Meganium). Meganium is also good against Blissey since it reduces Blissey's starting damage of 40 down to 10 while hitting for 70 with Meg's Delta Reduction. Nidoqueen is another strong hitter. The 1-1 Cloyster line is to tech against all of the sniping that is widely played in today's meta (Lucario, Empoleon, Dodrio, Rayquaza d EX, ect.).

Let me know what you guys think.
 
Queen and ganium seems like a little much search. You should choose between one of those 2 and focus on more of a main dmg attacker like flygon ex or somthin. Also the trainer engine seems to be lacking some draw power, get some more in there! Also playing one castaway is kinda pointless, try adding in one or two more.
 
You aren't playing lake boundary in this... why?

-1-1 Cloyster d
-1-1-1 Queen d
-1 Boost

+3-3 eggy d

fight fire with fire, not with a 1-1 line that can be shut off by cessation crystal, which almost all sniping decks play.
 
Okay, you're thinning your deck with massive search, in order to grab...

More massive search. Is there a point to this?
