Pokemon: 16
Strategy:
This decks strategy is pretty straightforward. Get out as many Slurpuffs as possible, set up Gourgeist with ideally a Grass and Psychic Energy and potentially hit for the OHKO with the draw power Slurpuff provides. Dedenne helps get out the basics and can make short work of an Yveltal-Ex with Silver Bangle.
This deck does not run many of the traditional Draw Supporters because those will become useless once Gourgeist is up and running, with the exception of being a quick card boost after getting N'd down to 1-2 cards in your hand. With the large hand sizes I get, Caitlin becomes a very powerful draw support, literally replacing your hand with your deck. It also has 2 Lysandre's Trump Cards because the Slurpuff draw engine can get the deck down to the single digits pretty quickly and having my only copy prized has cost me the game plenty of times. Teammates is there for the double search, since this deck tends to sacrifice Pokemon quite a few times, and Xerosic is to counter Garbodor even under a Toad lock.
Scoop Up Cyclone is played because it can add cards into the hand as well as deny the opponent prizes. This deck has 4 VS Seekers because it runs plenty of single supporters which I might want to use several times, as well as to pick up Lysandre's Trump Card from the discard. Robo Substitutes help in stalling, and serve as a means to trigger Teammates.
Dimension Valley makes each Gourgeist a little more expendable, since it only needs 2 energy to attack. Rainbow Energy lets Slurpuff attack in clutch situations, and can let Gourgeist take advantage of the opponent's Fairy Gardens and Shadow Circles, the last letting it survive a hit from the opponent's Dark Pokemon.
