The Truth EX

    The truth has always been an amazing defensive deck, using Reuniclus to spread damage across your field and Vileplume to trainer lock the whole field. With the relatively recent release of Next Destinies, it's only natural that the new EX's get incorporated in while we are still in this format. This is my personal version of The Truth which is by no means the greatest, but a standard Truth deck nonetheless.

    Pokemon: 25
    3-2-2 Reuniclus BW 55
    3-2-2 Vileplume UD 24
    2 Kyurem EX ND 38
    1 Mewtwo EX ND 98
    1 Kyurem NV 34
    1 Reshiram BW 113
    1 Zekrom BW 114
    1 Terrakion NV 99
    1 Pichu HGSS 28
    1 Cleffa HGSS 17
    1-1 Steelix Prime UL 87

    Trainers/Supporters: 23
    4 Pokemon Communication BW 99
    3 Pokemon Collector HGSS 97
    3 Rare Candy UL 82
    2 Sage's Training UD 77
    3 Twins TR 89
    2 Professor Oak's New Theory CL 83
    1 Flower Shop Lady UD 74
    1 Tropical Beach BWP 28
    2 Seeker TR 88
    2 N NV 101

    Energy: 12
    4 Prism Energy ND 93
    4 Double Colorless Energy HGSS 103
    4 Water Energy.

    I've tested this deck at least 10 times before uploading the list, and I've made some changes along the way. I've won most of the matches, because the opponent usually scoops and rage quits. I wouldn't use this deck at States, because of how long each match takes. Especially against another Truth Deck!

    Kyurem EX is the main attacker, because of the rising popularity in Fire decks recently. Mewtwo is my Mewtwo counter, Terrakion is my main attacker if I'm facing against Eelzone, but typically it stays benched. Steelix is my Chandelure/Vanilluxe Counter because those status effects annoy the crap out of me! The dragons are for outrage power and selective between the 3 for type matchups. Pichu and cleffa make excellent starters, as it will let me fill up my bench/get a fresh hand and then if it gets KO'd I'll just use twins to get the early vileplume/reuniclus. Tropical Beach is a very good card for truth decks, especially ones that run as little energy as I do. my only fears would be facing against Durant, a very popular deck in the format, a mirror match against the truth, and Scizor Prime because 2/3 of my energy are special energy.

    Well there you have it, review it, try it, any suggestions are welcome!
