Strategy:

This is just like any other Flareon deck list where you try to go through the deck as quickly as possible. But with the ban of the safety net in Lysandres trump card this deck is a little different. The deck plays 1 Tirtouga as well as 1 Archen from Plasma blast. Both Pokémon have the ability when they are in the discard pile you can put them in at the bottom of your deck, these cards become your new safety net so you will not deck out. The next question would be how do you get back your double Colorless energy to continue to power up attackers? The answer to that question is you don't get back your DCE's that is why this deck is less reliant on DCE's then most Flareon decks. The alternative is to play Blastoise with the Deluge ability as well as superior energy retrieval. If everything goes well you will never have less energy then you need and you will also never deck out with the two added prehistoric Pokémon. What do you guys think? Could a deck like this still make Flareon and even night march decks as quick as they are with Lysandres trump card?

If you're using those two fossil Pokemon as safety nets you need to run at least 2 stadium's, because if Silent Lab get's dropped it's GG.
