Who's Yo Nidoking Daddy! (Masters, Cities)

[Mous Arishi]

3-2-3x Nidoking (RR-RR-TM)
3-2-3x Nidoqueen (RR-RR-1TM/2RR)
4x Spiritomb (AR)
2x Uxie (LA)

Total Pokemon: 22x

4x Bebe's Search
3x Pokemon Collector
2x Professor Oak's New Theory
2x Interviewer's Question
1x Palmer's Contribution
1x Flower Shop Lady

3x Broken Time Space

3x Rare Candy
2x Warp Point
2x Expert Belt

Total T/S/S: 23x

5x {F}
2x {P}
4x Rainbow Energy
4x {C}{C}

Total Energy: 15x

So this list is just a rough stab at Nidoking, so lots of comments and suggestions would be appreciated!

Basically the strategy, is uphold the Nidoking Dad principle and lay down the law. Use Spiritomb to set up Nidokings and Nidoqueens. The aim is to always have 2 Nidoqueens and an Expert Belt, giving Nidoking a 200 hp health. Nidoqueen makes for a great back up attacker. Venomous Horn is awesome in that I can use it with Expert belt to OHKO most SP Lv X's and K.O. Gengar while bypassing Fainting Spell.

Some thoughts I had for the deck were putting in Seeker and Lucian's assignment.

Again, Comments and suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

I've tried this deck before and it's REALLY slow. For one getting 2 Stage 2's setup in time for Nidoking's
Poke-Body is going to be a pain, you also consider the fact that it's weak to {W} x2 meaning it's Gyarados bait despite the type advantage it has on Luxray GL Lv. X which is most likely going to setup much faster before you get out either Nidoking or Nidoqueen.

Then there's the problem with Trainer lock with Spiritomb AR and Vileplume UD, let alone Dialga G Lv. X being a threat shutting off Poke-Bodies and since it got reprinted as a Target Promo that makes it even easier to get ahold of as well. This format is about getting your deck speed on par with your opponent's and Venomous Horn with Nidoking seems like it's going to take 3 turns to setup.

As for deck fixes I would throw in Dodrio UD for Retreat Aid incase you get Trainer Locked but it might depend on what decks are being played in your metagame. If VileGar is seeing the most play then definitely stick with the Dodrio UD tech otherwise utilize on the Warp Points but even then MagneGatr is becoming popular so you'll need to watch out for it as well. You're missing an Azelf LA for Time Walk, and Seeker might come in handy...
