Crustle/Reuniclus

[Profen]

After trading for a Crustle last week, the bug pokemon trainer in me decided to build this deck since the only thing i was missing were 2 Crustle and 2 Reuniclus. Fairly cheap to pick up at my local card shop. Like $5 in total.

Pokemon:16

• 2-1-2 Reuniclus BW
• 3-3 Crustle BCR
• 1 Cresselia Ex
• 1 Mr Mime PLS
• 1 Virizion Ex
• 1-0-1 Serperior LT

Trainers:34

• 3 Professor Juniper
• 3 N
• 3 Skyla
• 3 Shauna
• 2 Roller Skates
• 3 Rare Candy
• 1 Max Potion
• 1 Tool Scrapper
• 2 Evosoda
• 2 Level Ball
• 2 Switch
• 2 Muscle Band
• 3 Ultra Ball
• 1 Super Rod
• 1 Professor's Letter
• 1 Computer Search

Energy:10

• 4 Grass
• 6 Fighting

Strategy
Use Crustle's ability "Sturdy" to survive any hit with 10 hp. Be it G-Booster, Black Ballista, or anything else that usually means a OHKO. Use Reuniclus' ability to move damage around between my pokemon. Serperior's ability heals 10 from each of my pokemon between turns to get rid of damage. Cresselia Ex heals an additional 10 each turn and is somewhere to put excess damage counters before i get set up. Virizion Ex prevents status effects.

Muscle Band turns any pokemon into a 2HKO (aside from megas).

The main goal is just to set up asap and then a slow grind to a win.

Either way any suggestions on how to make this deck more consistent or faster? And yes there are a few cards that outright counter this deck. But teching for them may not be super helpful since it still would normally mean a loss.

Garbodor would almost instantly beat it and Latias Ex would also be an instant loss.

Have you tried running this with a full playset of Evosoda?

 

[Profen]

i dont particularly like evosoda. I mean it works in this deck since Crustle is just out of range of level ball. But if i were to add a playset. I would also have to add more duosion as well. Or it would be a waste.

Get rid of the muscle band, there is only one EX in the entire deck, you should play the bangles instead.
