2 Shaymin UL
2 Pachirisu CoL
2 Darkrai-EX
2 Rocket's Raikou ex
3-3 Eelektrik
3 Sableye SF

3 Pokemon Collector
3 PONT
1 Luxury Ball
2 Dark Claw
3 Pokegear 3.0
3 Dark Patch
2 Pokemon Catcher
2 Level Ball
3 Computer Search
2 Switch
3 Junk Arm

8 Lightning Energy
4 Special Darkness Energy
4 Prism Energy


So the idea here is to start with Sableye to set up quickly using Impersonate (should I use more supporters?) or use the Pachi-Shaymin combo to power up Raikou quickly so it can start attacking. The CPUs and Junk Arms get energy discarded so that Eelektrik can attach them to Raikou, and the Darkrai allows for free retreat. The prisms are in there because they add +10 to Raikou's attack while at the same time forcing your opponent to switch out.

One idea I had was to fit in Vileplume UD and add more supporters so that I wouldn't get my Shaymins and Pachis being catcher'd all the time, while also taking more advantage of Impersonate. Raikou's power could keep them switching out when you want, and Darkrai-EX provides for a weaker version of switch with free retreat capabilities. Is this a good idea? If so, what should I take out?

Thanks for any help.
 
Hey, Rocket's Raikou ex is pretty cool, I used to use it in Modified when 70 for 3 off a Basic was good >_< Don't know if it could compete in Unlimited even if you use an anti Pory-donk / Sable-donk banlist though. Why no energy removal? Super energy removal would be cool as you often won't mind the self discard due to Eelektrik. One Lurxury ball should go in any Unlimited deck too.

If you play Unlimited "just for fun" have a look at this alternate version here: http://ns0.pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=163570
Pretty much any deck style is playable and the banlist/ex-list means the older exs like Raikou aren't obsoleted by the newer cards.
