I have had a lot of cases where I haven't gotten the energy on redshark. Though, it feels as if this deck isn't "redshark" friendly.
This deck could get really good thanks to that +20 damage trainer.
The plus 20 damage trainer will be awesome, helps the deck allot. Helps Uxie's in generally.
This deck isn't a redshark friendly deck, it is fun to play physically all by your self. It is like playing a game of solitaire with a deck of cards. If you haven't got the energy, you haven't mastered the trainer play yet. There is optimal order of play each and every hand and after each uxie drop, and if you aren't decking yourself first turn or 90% of time, you are likely doing some things wrong, that is the fun part of this deck, learning how to correctly work through the trainers. Some times you might have 4 cards left, by no bench spots left, as long as you know you can get the uxie next turn, this will count. (I often won't deck myself sometimes I get a crobat donk on the bench, and have the KO to the active. I will just get the double donk, and hold back the remain resources.
The key thing is to know these things:
1. Maximise your Uxie draw drops. Uxie for 6 or 7 is great.
2. Unown R's are benched as reserve draw until you either draw into a Nite Maintence or you get deperate for extra draw.
3. Quick Balls - you play this card first, you see what fate brings you.
4. Victory Medals- Expect the 1 heads, and top deck. 2 Heads is just a bit of bonus.
5. Poke-drawers - DON'T GET GREEDY, If you have a hand of Uxie and Poke-Drawer, PLAY THE DRAWER for 1. You hold a single drawer as you play your other trainers, but drawer is for drawing one and empting your hand before a uxie drop.
6. Plus Powers and Crobats, if you have Plus Powers before your Uxie drop, you can "Park" them on a Crobat so you increase your uxie draw.
7. Night Maintainence - You obviously want to play it for 2 to 3 Unown R's. With the Unown R's on Bench, once you get the NM, you then use the Retire power to get the cards into hand, and then send the R's back.
8. Dusk Ball versus Pokedex, you play Dusk ball first , then pokedex. Look at 9 cards, rather than only 8.
9. SSU, you need to need 23 ish cards on the uxie drops, if you have all 4 uxie drops availabe to you can invest some of the SSU flips to the Crobats, If one of your Uxies are prized, you will need to use the SSU on the Uxies.
This is a fun game to play all by yourself folks, much like the game of Solitaire.
