Toxicroak from steam siege with bats and vileplume

[Petzz]

Here is the decklist:

Pokemon

• 3 croagunk
• 3 toxicroak
• 2 spinarak
• 2 ariados
• 2 oddish
• 2 gloom
• 2 vileplume
• 2 zubat
• 2 golbat
• 2 crobat

Trainers

• 3 sycamore
• 4 N
• 1 lysandre
• 3 AZ
• 1 pokemon center lady
• 4 ultraball
• 4 levelball
• 2 vs seeker
• 4 trainers mail
• 2 float stone
• 2 forest of giant plants
• 2 chaos Tower

Energy

• 3 fighting energy
• 3 strong energy

Strategy:
Set up fast with trainers mail, forest og giant plants and N/sycamore. get the pokemons out on the field and itemlock the opponent. Then use the bats to damage the bench while Toxicroak stops the opponent from attacking. AZ picks up the bats or other pokemons stuck in the active spot.

It would be better with some focus sashes in the list, but they will rotate out (crobat and AZ will to but i think they both will be reprinted).

Are you trying to make a deck for the new format? Cause if so, Crobat and AZ are being rotated.

I see no reason AT ALL for bats also where's Dragalge (FLF)

He is making this for the new standard after rotation so Flashfire will be gone

oops my bad, I just assumed since he ran Croat and AZ that it's expanded

crobat probably but I don't see AZ coming back

Either super scoop up or AZ. We cant lose both. Shaymin would be much worse with being stuck on the bench for the rest of the match.

I think you're going to find the deck not consistent enough to get Vileplume out T1. Not to mention a 2-2-2 line and only 2 stadiums, gonna be tough. I like the idea though.

Thanks, i have considered dropping the bats and taking in two gallades and maxies instead, with 1 team flare grunt and another forest of giant plants.
But i think it would be too difficult to get up gallade. Then i need maintenance wich is useless when itemlocked

Maxie and Archie are going to be a lot more difficult to pull off now with Battle Compressor rotating.
