"Sceptank" Decklist:

12 Pokemon:

4 Treecko
1 Grovyle
3 Sceptile
2 (Land) Shaymin EX
2 (Sky) Shaymin EX


36 T/S/S:
4 Colress
4 Juniper
3 Skyla
2 N
4 Pokemon Catcher
4 Plasma Ball
3 Rare Candy
3 Level Ball
3 Switch
2 Plasma Frigate (Stadium)
2 Giant Cape
1 Gold Potion
1 Super Rod

12 Energy:
4 Plasma Energy
8 Grass Energy

Strategy:
Set up Sceptile with energy and tank with the combined abilities of Sceptile and Land Shaymin EX. Sky Shaymin EX is in there for late game and pairs well with Land Shaymin boosting its hp so it's not an easy 2 prizes. Plasma frigate is key in this deck to remove Sceptiles weakness by attaching a plasma energy. Not being 1 shotted by fire pokemon helps the strategy of tanking. Gold potion is also a great ace spec to put into this deck because it further helps the strategy of tanking.

Final Thoughts:
Another fun deck that I would love to play. The ability of Land Shaymin EX is similar to the Shaymin lvl x from the Platinum set, so once again I am taking old cards and using their strategies to fit the upcoming format. I also like how this deck would make great use of the new ace spec card gold potion, as well as the plasma frigate stadium. I used to play a similar deck by using Shaymin lvl X and Vespiquen from stormfront. I also think that Land Shaymin EX would fit for alot of other decks as well, such as Serperior and Celebi decks. This would finally give us a Terrakion counter too :p
