The idea is to get Victini and Cofagrigus out as soon as possible. Using collector to fill my bench with Chikorita, Yamask, Victini, Exeggecute, Cleffa, Celebi (any 3 depending on situation) evolving them and using Meganium to stack grass energys on Exeggutor. And with Victory Star, I can deal more damage with Exeggutor if I don't get a good dice roll (necessary with that many energy attached) I used Magneboar as an inspiration for this deck, as Meganium serves as the Emboar, Exeggutor as Magnezone, Cofagrigus (w/o ability) in combination with the Cofagrigus with the ability to move all my damage counters to the opponent as my main attacker.

I don't see how the ability Cofagrigus helps out the non-Ability Cofagrigus. I think what you're trying to achieve by that would require the Reuniclus instead, but that would take too much focus away from the main event here, that being Meganium and Exeggutor. The main problem I see with Exeggutor is its relatively low HP.

Well ability Cofagrigus can stay alive on a coin flip and have 10 HP left. I can switch him out for non ability Cofagrigus and move ability Cofagrigus's damage counters to the opponents active Pokemon. I would love to put reuniclus in if I had him, but sadly i don't.

Yeah it's a shame Exeggutor has a relatively low HP, but I can always retreat, seeker, energy retrieval.

They need to make a grass pokemon with an ability to lay down as many grass energys as you want, much like Emboar, or Feraligatr. I will be very happy :D

The main problems I see with those is that it's possible to be too easily knocked out and then you're stuck without a Pokemon to do damage with. And they have high retreat costs so you'd need a Switch every time.

I suppose that's one way to go about it.

I think there were some in the past... but I can't remember which ones they were.

Ultimately, I decided to just stick with an Ice Deck, as I've had the most success with it. It's beaten reshiphlosion a lot, Magneboar like 3 times, and it even beat zpst once!

Of course an Ice deck is going to have success against those decks! They're weak the the card type ice Pokemon get grouped with!
