I'm pretty new to the TCG and built this Gengar/Crobat combo deck a couple days ago. It's a fun deck and seems like it could be pretty decent. I know it's not the greatest thing ever, just looking for some pointers on making it function a little better.
Ok so here's how it looks right now:
Pokemon (23)
It's a bit of a pain getting everything going, but once it does it works pretty well. I put Octillery in to help move things along, but not sure if he's the best choice. With Dimension Valley only Breakthrough Gengar's attack costs any energy at all. Crobat and Breakthrough Gengar both have no retreat cost, and with mystery energy, neither does Gengar-EX. Super Scoop Up and AZ can get Remoraid or Octillery out of the active position if they're your only basic at the start, as well as letting Crobat reuse his ability and healing Gengar-EX.
So, yeah my biggest problem is actually getting everything going consistently. Maybe that's a pipe dream considering all the evolutions.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Edit: I took out Sacred Ash, 1 Skyla and a Sycamore and added in more bats, it seems to have helped.
