Yeah, why not Wynaut? :lol: Ha Ha Ha I made a funny! :lol:
Not really -- no offense, but we've heard that one before. BTW, I was considering Wynaut, specifically in place of Mewtwo ex. Are you saying you think I should do this?
 
Yes because trainers are essential. In this format, A no-trainer first hand could be the end! With Wynaut, you can search for the trainers you need, and evolve into Wobbufett.
 
I think either wynuat or arrurill can help I try to put them in all my eon decks oh yeah you also might try marril for a free retreat and multi energy
 
Hm. A free retreater would be nice, but I really don't want to change the Energy structure -- what I have has worked very well. In any case, for now at least, I've dropped the two Mewtwo ex for Wynauts. Also, I dropped the two Energy Switch for Power Charge. Any more suggestions (other than Gardevoir ex, which I can't do)?

Made a bunch of changes to this one, too, and here's what I came up with. As always, comments, suggestions, and fixes (based on this latest version) would be appreciated. Please do not suggest Gardevoir ex -- I don't have any, nor do I really want any here (it's the rogue in me). If you want to suggest cards to add in (and I hope some of you will), PLEASE also suggest what to take out for them.

Pokemon (20):
4 Ralts (SS)
3 Kirlia (1 SS, 2 Life Drain)
2 Gardevoir
1 Chansey ex
3 Eevee (SS)
3 Espeon (SS)
2 Wynaut
2 Wobbuffet (SS)

Trainers (24):
2 Oracle
2 Juggler
3 Copycat
1 Town Volunteers
2 Power Charge
2 Rare Candy
2 Star Piece
4 Energy Restore
2 Switch
3 Moo-Moo Milk
1 Ancient Ruins

Energy (16):
12 Psychic Energy
4 Boost Energy

Notes: With the changes I made, not only is Gardevoir probably just a little more likely to show up than it was in the last version (due to the 4th Ralts), but my Supporter count is down to 8! In such a Supporter-heavy format, that's pretty wierd, especially since this isn't an Armaldo deck. I figured that, since my Supporter count is so low now, and most decks in E-on aren't, I'd add in Ancient Ruins for a little more draw power. I also still have only one Pokemon-ex (Chansey), so Wobbuffet's not as troublesome as it is for a Gardevoir/Gardevoir ex deck. Strange things to be proud of, but I think they're good things.
Main strategy is still the same as the last version. For those who don't want to look for that post, here is the basic idea. Gardevoir should come out, preferably on the bench, as soon as possible. Gardevoir's Psy Shadow is used to power up my Pokemon quickly. Main attacker is Espeon, with Wobbuffet as backup, Chansey ex as cleaner/anti-Dark (although its main job is actually healing), and Gardevoir as a late game attacker.
Trainers should be more or less obvious, but I'll explain anyway. Ancient Ruins, the newcomer, is card drawing (perhaps the only non-Supporter drawing in the format). Draw/hand changing is also provided by Copycat and Juggler. Moo-Moo Milks help out after a Psy Shadow or two. Rare Candy and Star Piece are evolution assistance, especially (in the case of Star Piece) when combo'd with a Psy Shadow. Switch is obviously for changing my Active. Energy Restore, Power Charge, and Town Volunteers help get cards out of the discard pile. Oracle is deck search. Actually, it even combos with Ancient Ruins, to let me draw both cards on the next turn if I have no other Supporters in my hand.
Boost Energy can help Espeon attack quickly, or can basically act as a triple PlusPower for Gardevoir. If absolutely necessary, I can use Boost on Wobbuffet, but I'd call that an emergency situation. The low Energy count shouldn't be a problem -- Energy disruption is not popular in E-on (although it is available), and this deck's Retreat and attack costs are all pretty cheap (my most expensive attacks cost (P):colorless :colorless, and other than Chansey ex [3], Wobbuffet [2] and Gardevoir [2], my Retreat Costs are all 1).

I never did use Xatu, and Espeon's too good an attacker to take out. How would you suggest going about putting in more healing and Copycats?
 
but if you use copy cat then it will be back in your deck you also might consider more than 1tv for energy purposes
 
Well, notice I have a Town Volunteers, 2 Power Charge, and 4 Energy Restore. That ought to be enough, wouldn't you say? Also, it seems that I don't have another Town Volunteers.

After taking another look at the decklist, I don't really see Oracle helping much (this deck's gonna be shuffled quite often once it's set up), and HYPER EEVEE made a good point about Juggler, so I'm going to make these changes:
-2 Oracle
-2 Juggler
+1 Copycat
+1 Moo-Moo Milk
+2 Pokemon Fan Club
 
Again, posting an updated decklist. This one reflects all the changes I've made since the last time I posted a decklist.

Pokemon (20):
4 Ralts (SS)
3 Kirlia (1 SS, 2 Life Drain)
2 Gardevoir
1 Chansey ex
3 Eevee (SS)
3 Espeon (SS)
2 Wynaut
2 Wobbuffet (SS)

Trainers (22):
4 Copycat
1 Town Volunteers
2 Power Charge
3 Rare Candy
2 Star Piece
2 Energy Restore
2 Switch
4 Moo-Moo Milk
2 Ancient Ruins

Energy (18):
14 Psychic Energy
4 Boost Energy

Strategy: The strategy is the same as it's been for the last few versions. Espeon is the main attacker. Wobbuffet is a backup attacker and anti-ex. Gardevoir powers my Pokemon with Psy Shadow, and comes out late game as an attacker if it gets enough Energy on it. Chansey ex is healing, stall, and cleaner, in that order.
The Trainer engine's a bit unusual for E-on, but it actually works quite well. Copycat and Ancient Ruins are my draw power, and both work quite well for me (having only 7 Supporters really helps out for Ancient Ruins). Star Piece is a combo with Gardevoir -- attach to a benched Eevee, Ralts, or Kirlia, Psy Shadow onto it, and let it evolve between turns. The other Trainers should be self-explanatory.
