This is a deck that I just thought up of right when I saw the new Slowking. My set up should include 4x Slowking on my bench and then a Primeape in my active position. I use 4 Item Searches to get the tools I need and then Toss 'em at the opponent, dishing at least 120 a turn. Once I flush my deck of tools, I retreat for free and then let the Aftermath begin for 80 a turn. I'm not really good at making decks, but I thought the strategy was pretty cool.

Pokemon(16):
4x Primeape
4x Mankey
4x Slowking
4x Slowpoke

Trainers(28):
4x Wally's Training
4x Mary's Request
4x Magnetic Storm
4x Cursed Powder
4x Sitrus Berry
4x Solid Rage
3x CopyCat
1x Scott

Energy(16):
8x Psychic
8x Fighting
 
The strategy is cool, and I had a similar idea, too, but I found that you'll need at least 16-17 tools so you can draw them naturally on a consistant basis as well as get them with Slowking. Also, Wally's Training is a waste of space, you should use Celio's Network since it can find basics and you won't need Wally's unique power of evolving on the first turn in play. Don't play any stadiums either. That should free up a few more spaces. The last thing you need to do is drop your energy. Since Primape's primary attack costs only colorless energy, the energy in your deck should be primarily psychic. 3:1 ratio in Psychic:Fighting should do nicely for now, but you might find you want to change that later. 16 is too high, try anywhere between 12-15 and see how it does.

Hope this is helpful! =)

If you're not going to play any stadiums, you surely don't need to use 3 Scotts. I would suggest using a couple stadiums, though, as they would prove to be very helpful. 2 Desert Ruins seems to be the way to go, or maybe even Battle Frontier. Also, Primape's HP is very low for a main attacker, so I'd advise dropping 2 Sitrus Berry and a Protective Orb for 3 Energy root. They raise Prime's HP to 90, if needed. Also, why not consider using a couple Double Rainbow Energies, they can help you out even more, and keep a 4 tool throw doing enough damage to OHKO Medicham EX. Maybe not the best idea against some other decks, but meh.

Thos are just my two cents.

So many choices for the Tools now....

Energy Root is a nice idea, definately. However I wouldn't go for Protective Orb or Sitrus Berry in this case, since they won't do anything against 80+ damage attacks, which most archetypes can dish out pretty easily. Solid Rage is a nice choice as well, but I feel working in some Pow Hand Extension could be a better option (or both if there's room).

The draw's looking a bit too thin as well... could use some Prof. Birches.
 
Maybe this list...

4 Slowpoke(FRLG)
4 Slowking
4 Mankey
4 Primeape

14 Energy
10 Psychic
4 Fighting

30 Trainers

4 Energy Root
4 Curse Powder
4 Mary's Request
3 Exp. All
3 Prof. Birch
3 Fluffy Berries

-2 solid rage (because if u ever wanted to use it, it only adds 20 and discarding it does 30 and it only can be attach to evolutions)
-3 birch
-1 primeape, if u think about it 3 primeape will easily use all of the tools
-1 mankey
-4 fighting, double rainbow are better in your situation
+4 double rainbow
+4 plusle
+3 copycats, i just prefer to use these
-2 other tools
+2 fluffy berry

u should get some brineys in there and ER2/Reversal if u have room
 
Keep the solid rage, But maybe some strength charm for when you go ahead on prizes? Fluffy berry is a nice idea too.
