    I finally got my 3rd Kingdra today since i've been dying to try using this pokemon i decided to put together a deck. Seems like a lot of fun. Though i do lack Empoleon and max potion for the Kingdra/Empoleon. So i thought i would try something different. It still needs alot of work since i only just put it together today.

    Pokemon: 15 (9 Basics)
    3-1-3 Kingdra PF
    2x Keldeo Ex
    1x Kyurem Ex
    2-2 Electrode
    1x Miltank

    Support: 12
    4x Juniper
    2x Hugh (Only have 2)
    4x Skyla
    2x Cilian

    Trainers: 21
    4x Ultra Ball
    4x Rare Candy
    2x Catchers (Only have 2)
    2x Float stone
    1x Dowsing Machine
    1x Tool Scrapper
    1x Super Rod
    1x Aspertia City Gym (I need a stadium, but i have no idea what to use to counter frozen city, virbank, pokemon center. it also gives miltank + 20 hp)
    2x Superior Energy Retrieval * (Question Below)
    2x Rocky Helmet (atm taking up space, thought it would help but doesnt really ever help that much.**** Pokemon Communication (thought it would help, though i never seem to need it.)

    Energy: 12
    12 Water

    * Question: Can you Use Superior energy retrieval and not retrieve any energy, even if there is energy in the discard. The wording is usually interpreted to "up to" said amount, which for this one means 0-4 energy. Or does it mean up to 4 energy, but you have to take the energy if its in there?

    Anyway, the strategy is straight forward. Try to get as much energy in the discard as possible, and until i can land a clean KO, attack with tri bullet. I do that by using Cilan to put energy into my hand, and then using items or hugh/juniper next turn. I also never have to be weary of discarding my hand or being N'ed with Electrode with magnetic draw allowing me to go back up to 4.

    I use Dowsing machine in this deck because it allows me to discard up to 4 energy in 1 turn as long as i have an ultra ball in the discard without relying on a supporter. I dont use computer search, because dowsing machine allows an additional ultra ball or juniper, and doesn't waste the ones still in my deck to use at a later time.

    Miltank is also an interesting pokemon for this deck. I can stack energy onto it whenever i have a free energy attachment. Then discard all of it and heal one of my pokemon fully. Which makes me want to add in pokedex Ether combo. Though i think the pokedex is cycling out soon. Ether alone isnt very reliable.

    Anyway, any suggestions on what i should replace. I know i could replace.
    -2 Rocky Helmets
    -1 Pokemon Communication
    -1 Aspertia City Gym
    -2 Superior Energy Retrievals (If in fact it doesn't work the way i hope.)

    I could just go and abuse laserbank, though it wont work on grass types with Virizion Ex, which will already give my water deck a hard time, and basically wasting 6 cards.

    I know i could use 4 max potions and 2 more catchers. But those are really expensive. Though i hope to get 2 more catchers from my plasma blast box.

    Thx in advance.
