Main Strategy-
Get Plume ASAP, then Reuniclus. Cleffa and Pichu for basic setup, then Whimsicott and Dodrio. Swarm with Outrage users, Donphan, Whimsicott. Donphan is to make Magnezone's life much harder, and is a general hard hitter. Whimsicott will be explained in greater detail below.
Whimsicott serves what purpose?
Whimsicott is a great tech against Victrebell. You get two Whimsicott (or a Whimsicott and a Dodrio line) up, and since they can't OHKO you, you just keep up an endless U-turn loop. You can also use U-turn to bring up a Zekrom or Reshiram (as long as Dodrio is up) to use as a damage sponge, or to prep outrage next turn. (After Damage Swapping) Also great against others that cannot OHKO Whimsicott, and Encore is a nice feature against the bulky Wailord (since they can't easily retreat) to force for some stalling for you to get setup. Encore doesn't have as much effect vs. Sharpedo or Mew since they can free retreat out.
Dodrio?
For retreating Zekrom, or basically anything else. Is a great assets to the deck.
Some of the TSS lines...3 Collector...3 Candy...PETM?
3 Collector+Pichu is perfect. I'd bet my 100 games of testing with that engine on it. 3 Rare Candy is all thats needed since once Vileplume is up, they are useless. Communication is for fast, pre-Vileplume search. Elm's is for Post 'Plume, for Whimsicott, Donphan, and Reuniclus. 4 PONT is good with the 4 Twins we have.
Quick Explanation on Energy-
4 DCE, good tool for Outrage, and retreating without Dodrio.
4 Rainbow, for attacking with most of our Pokemon, and using the potential Blue Flare/Bolt Strike. Also helps to place damage to KO one of our babies to use Twins.
Basic Energy-Attack!!!
Match ups-
Wailord/Reuniclus/Porygon Z
Trainer lock hurts them a substantial bit. It makes Porygon-Z's power useless, and locks the Rare Candy's they need to get a setup. If they get past that lock, you really need to use Zekrom for Outrage KO's on Wailord, then use Donphan/Whimsicott for the rest. Also, if needed you can load them up with Damage until they can no longer hold it on the bench, since they can't use Max Potion.
55-45 Your Favor
Victreebell/Weavile
Watch out for Weavile drops. If you can get an early 'Plume this gets easier. If you get no setup through the Weavile's your in a spot. Get your Cleffa out ASAP if you sense yourself getting into a bad spot. Once you do get a setup, either get up your Dodrio to negate Victreebell's Pokebody, or start to swarm with Whimsicott. Once you do that, they don't have much of a way to win, since they can't KO anything.
50-50, because of the potential lack of KO, and then the fact they could lock you from the game with Weavile.
Magnezone/Slugma
Get out Plume or forever regret it. You need him to Slow/Stop their setup. Once thats done, go crazy with Donphan to kill Magnezones, and then use Whimsicott, and use Outrage KO'ers. The occasional Blue Flare/Bolt Strike may be necessary.
45-55, you need Plume and Donphan to swarm them for this matchup.
Sharpedo/Mew/Vileplume
They can do a nice job of locking you out of a game-so get out your Cleffa!! Let them set up the Plume this time, and since they won't run catcher, you only need one Solosis. Use Donphan to basically sweep for 6 since they can't fight much. However, if they hit Strip Bare, you could be in trouble unless you get Cleffa to refresh.
If they hit a Strip Bare early-
50-50
If not-
40-60.
Thats all I have, and thank you for reading my entry, and judging this contest!

Vegeta ss4 Challenge touny
round 1 redwater vs Magnechu
this match up will be fun
his higheramount of basic in is deck would more often set up my mew turn 1 more often then his.
vileplume would be a easy ko bring it up with muk then attack with crobat with a low energy count and no switches he be forcus to let it be ko
if sharpedo got lucky (25%) and flip 2 heads i do have alot of draw card in my deck so i would not be stuck with no hand for long
My Umbreon would 1hk his mew and forcus him to attck with sharpedo
match would be 80-20 for me and in sudden death i would have the upper hand.
1-0
round 2 redwater vs Hatter
this match would be very easy because my deck would set up faster then his so i can take the 1st prize
Umbreon is the star in this game because the only pokemon that has a strong attack with out a power or body is magcargo
which can be 1hk with a Bouffalant and a plus power or crobat which would forus him to retreat or muk to bring him up before he his charge.
match would be 85-15 for me and in sudden death i would have the upper hand
2-0
round 3 redwater vs Cyrus
this match would be the hardest out of the 4
i would need to lose the 1st prize because i can used twin and black belt to return these 1hk with anything he has intill he can not set up another
1hk will i would take the lead bouffalant would help me alot this game and umbreon can help me stall victreebel. His deck is slow to set up turn after
turn of being 1hk with black belt. weavile would be a bit annoying but with a high deck it not that bad.
for a sudden death I would have the upper hand because his deck is slower then my deck
match would be 65-45 for me with a upper hand in sudden death
3-0
round 4 redwater vs Cyrus's clone
This would be a fun one to play out
with my deck being faster then his i can take a prize lead
muk and crobat will help this match up the most to bring up waillord that still not fully charge and slowly kills them and with no switch and heaviy retreat
he forus to stay up their. after i have about a 2 card prize lead the game switch to taking turn taking prizes from me bring up reuniclus when he get him out.
zekrom would need to be brount up my muk so he be not be as great as a threat.
match would be 90-10 and a upper hand in sudden death.
4-0
