Standard Chesnaught V / Eldegross - Any help is appreciated

Hello folks!

Yeah i know, Chesnaught is not competitive is this meta but I like the concept of it.


"Bring me down and I might take you with me"

Strategy:
- Most of the time I'm going to get as much Chesnaught into play as possible (3 is optimal)
- Eldegross + Gardenia for accelerate energy placement on my Chesnaughts
- Kricketune V: draw card
- Kricketune: supporter pokemon for extra hp paired with cape of toughness which gives chesnaught +90hp
- Most of trainer cards: get chesnaught asap and switch whenever in need of doing so.

My opinion:
The deck looks fine but lacks a second attacker imo to defeat meta decks like Lugia and Mew
Sometimes I find myself stuck at the beginning of a match because I dont get enough resources to get at least 1 chesnaught...

I have been playing Chesnaught V at my in person league and it is super fun. I run a very different list and hadn't considered Kricketune V which is neat. I'll just share some thoughts:

-I like 1 or 2 copies of Forest Seal Stone. You can even attach to your Kricketune V so it doesn't impede on Chesnaught V getting Cape. Can get you out of a situation in a pinch.
-I run Radiant Tsareena and a few Switch Carts to constantly be pulling the Chesnaughts out of active to let them heal. I know bench space is a big issue in this deck and this may only work because I don't run either of the Kricketunes.
-I think you can cut a few level balls since you are running Turffield, vip pass, and quick ball already
-I think you can cut the Scoop Up Nets. You have plenty of switch cards and air balloon and the space can be used for something else
-Consider Serena. You don't have any gusting cards and it can help you fix a dead hand
