looks really good, but your troubles will arise against G decks. the chances of a G deck only opening with 1 basic are so small that youll never be that lucky and ive played multiple games against G decks and they run a strong donk as well. so if you go first it could all be over before it begins or if you go second youll have to be careful.

I don't think so. I OHKO's every card in a G deck, and if they don't T1's me, they have very little chances to win.

Toxicroak G has 90 Hp, and both Palkia G and Dialga G have 100 Hp. And with no way to add that extra damage I don't see you grabbing the upper hand if they start with one of these. Galactic's HQ or Miasma Valley can put a fair amount of hurt on you as well.

Don't be so quick to rule out SP decks.

thank you, spacing out. hes right you dont play any pluspower, so a toxicroak, palkia, or dialga opening would stop yuo dead.

uxie won't work any more. you drop it, they power spray, you just wasted bench space.

Ok, I was a little quick there, but you must agree that I 2HKO all G pokemon that is created so far (exept Palkia G Lv.X and Dialga G Lv.X with Unown E) - first with Iron Skull, and then with Mold Breaker. It does not stop me if it takes an extra turn, but if Rampardos begin to 3HKO, then you guys are right that I am struggling a bit. And yes, those stadiums would hurt me some, but I have 3 counterstadiums and a Cranidos that can discard stadiums in play, although it probably will not be used if I'll don't need it badly.

The only flaw in Rampardos is that it does 40 to itself. Yes it has amazing donkability, but if you do that, your done against toxicroak/skuntank. They hit you for 70 for one energy due to poison in between turns. That is 110 damage, and unless you retreat to get rid of poison, it is Good Bye Rampardos next tun.

Updated list. Now with Cresselia Lv.X.

If discarding stadiums is that important, play Memory Berry

against G decks all you have to do is send up a fossil and they're stuck doing 20 w/ Toxicroak or attacking w/ Weavile. i'd be running a couple Pluspower to 1-shot those toxicroaks, but that's just me.
