I am working on a deck similar to this. Replaced Aegislash with Palkia.
Also took out a shaymin
and a seismitoad and added two glaceon.

Okay, so I have a question about Water Box. I'm watching the Seniors Top 4 livestream and seeing this ToadTina deck in action, but it has me wondering "Why doesn't ToadTina take a page from regular Water Box or Darkrai-EX / Giratina-EX and use Basic Energies w/ Max Elixirs?"

Would Water Box be able to work well enough if it went for more of a Giratina-EX build? I'm just curious now.

The answer is simple: No. Giratina does not work with all basic energy. Besides, Water Toolbox performs well enough already.

But you're using Double Dragon to pay energy costs regardless, and Manaphy-EX alongside it even gives it free retreat just for having Energy in general. If someone were to drop Garbodor for a Huntail line, they could pretty much mimic Darkrai-EX / Giratina-EX, only with better retreat options and a more annoying lock.

Wouldn't octillery be better than shaymin, i mean you can dive ball him and use rough sea for him to counter bench damaging opponents
