    A small thing I've been testing for a while, NMF (Nintendo MF)...

    Pokemon (22):
    4 Mudkip
    3 Marshtomp
    4 Swampert
    3 Wailmer (RS)
    2 Wailord
    2 Wailord ex
    2 Zigzagoon (EX2)
    2 Linoone (RS)

    Trainers (19):
    3 Copycat
    2 Juggler (Aqua)
    4 Switch
    3 Pokemon Fan Club
    2 Fisherman
    4 Rare Candy
    1 Undersea Ruins

    Energy (19):
    4 Retro
    15 Water

    Strategy: Get out at least 2 Swampert by turn 2 or 3 by different combinations of Rare Candy and Marshtomp, with a Wailmer down somewhere, a Linoone in wait, and a Wailord ex in my hand. Evolve, and trash the opponent. When Wailord gets 100+ damage, then use first attack for Linoone or something, next turn, Retro Energy and Rare Candy into Wailord, who is now attacking for 70, and NO EX RULE!!!!! If I see Green, I don't even drop Wailmer, and just go for straight KO using Swampert and Switch, and hoping that the sleep flips will go my way.

    Problems: I find that this deck tends to run a little slowly, not getting out a Swampert until about turn 4 or 5. Also, there is the reliability issue, with so many combo cards in this deck, it's virtually impossible to draw them all with random draws. I tried to solve this with Linoone, but he's not always a good alternative to some good searching trainers. Help!!!
     
    Hmm.. I haven't actually *played* with the EX rules, but I shall choose the raindance starter deck as t he next one I buy and test it out for you.. ^_^

    take off your 4+retro energy and put 4+recycle energy
     
    your deck is good but it's need something

    switch your retros with warp energy and switch your switches
    with 2 oak and 2 computer search
     
    continue

    take off your copycats and put professor elms
     
    Kenny:
    The Retro NRG are the key to this entire deck. Read over the strategy before actually making a post. Also, Recycle energy is illigal in the new format (unless Nintendo re-released it in their sets...) I just plain like Copycat better than POR. In the new version of this deck, there are a couple of POR, but I think that Copycat is plain better.

    Teemu:
    Again, the Retros are the key to this entire deck working out. Oak and CPU Search are illigal in this format.
     
    Ok..a modified deck...

    Once I got my Wailord Ex at the league I instantly though of making a deck similar to this one, except it was unlimited with Blastoise as main and using the Pokemon Center-Energy Flow Idea..

    Well anyway, if I was you I'd drop 1 or both of the regular Wailord, drop 1 switch, for perhaps 2-3 Prof. Elms Method or Prof Oaks Research or more Juggler and Copycat...

    feedback?

    BOO ya!
     
    does it really matter?

    I have a bit of a dilemma. I just got back from the Dragons prerelease tournament, and I just found out about the Gyarados from that set. Here are some stats for Gyarados:

    Gyarados
    100 HP
    Weakness: [L]
    Resistance: (none)
    Retreat: [CC]
    Attacks:
    [W] Dragon Crush
    Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each Defending Pokemon. Discard an Energy Card from each Defending Pokemon.

    [WCCCC] Aqua Sonic 80
    This attack's damage is not affected by Resistance.

    I'm wondering if I should switch out the Wailord ex line for a Gyarados line because of this. Thx for answering.
     
    That might not be bad Idea, you would just have to be faster than usual cause you can't leave a magikarp out. And you might even want a boost energy with that one...

    BOO ya!
