Hey guys. Haven't posted in a while. So yeah, I'm one of those players that's ecstatic about Victini/Cradily. I got this crazy idea, so check it out:

Victini EX - 3
Cradily 3-2
Eelektross PB - 3
Emboar (I.F.) - 2
Dusknoir - 1
--- 14 Pokemon

Fire - 6
Grass - 3
Lightning - 3
--- 12 Energy

Juniper - 4
Skyla - 3
Caitlin - 3
Cilan - 2
Root Fossil - 4
Ultra Ball - 4
Escape Rope - 4
Energy Retrieval - 4
Superior Energy Retrieval - 2
Max Potion - 2
Tool Scrapper - 1
Victory Piece - 1
--- 34 Tr/Su

Basically once set up, Eelektross is the main attacker. Lay some Energy with Emboar, then Crush and Burn. Later use your Retrieval cards to get the Energy back.
Rinse repeat.
Dusknoir is a fun 1of in this deck. Having control of damage is sweet candy. It's only 1of cuz it isn't intregal.
Some of you may be thinking "No Catcher? What is this madness?" With Dusknoir and maxed Escape Rope, I don't find them to be necessary. Besides, it's more fun without.
There's little I love more than healing shenanigans. Especially when my adversary is so close to a KO. Max Potion is one of may favorite cards, especially in a discard heavy deck.

Basically this deck is all about shenanigans. It's so much fun to play this deck; so far it has a pretty good track record.

Questions? Comments?
 
I'm building a different variation on the idea, and I was curious: Why only a 3-2 line on Cradilly?

I always have issues surviving the setup if I don't land Lifesplosion in the first 3 turns!
 
After testing against a few friends, I feel 3-2 is the optimal number. Not too many not too few. Plus it gives the deck some breathing room. Running a 4-4 line takes up precious deck space. Especially for a deck like mine. But I guess it really depends on what you're running. 3-2 or 3-3 is the best start for a Cradily deck IMO.
 
Hello no Twist mountain? thought that would be useful in this type of deck? Unless it does something else lol
 
Yeah but my friend plays this deck with some other cards thrown in and hes struggling to combo that. so maybe a good idea to have one or 2 twist just as backup maybe?

My friend have dusknoir and gardevoir and something else I think. Also even though you can discard them using ultra ball you have only 3 lileep out of 56 other cards to discard with so maybe one less ultra ball might be a good idea? if not I can see discards you dont wanna do :( and believe me when I say this coming from a weavile eggs deck.

not gardevoir, gallade sorry
