I dunno I thought about this idea a couple days ago and wondered what would be the best way to make use of this concept. Basically what you do is bring up Lumineon. Drop Seeker and force them to pick up a Pokemon to their hand. What this does is it not only guarantees that they will have a bench slot open to use the power but it also promises that they will also have a Basic in their hand. So with this knowledge you use Lumineon's power and take a basic from their hand and make it active then free retreat Lumineon to bring up some heavy hitter like Machamp to one shot the basic.

There has been some questions flowing around my mind though in some of the procedures to do this. Naturally an average Machamp deck would have to lose some stuff to fit this strategy in correctly. I'm thinking you would not even play prime and stick to normal Take Out Machamp. You'd also need to play some sort of switch card to ensure that you can pull this off every turn if possible. I'm also questioning how possible this is to get out early game.

You could use it with this and miasma valley maybe?
Or even Gengar prime

With its passive and second attack you can potentially lock your opponents.
 
I'd stick with Machamp SF. That Yanmega would take 2 turns to KO most things (honestly, your opponent will just pick up a lone Uxie/Azelf when you use Seeker), so not great; plus, you leave Lumineon as open game for your opponent. As for Gengar Prime, I don't really get it... sure, you can use Seeker with it, but that belongs in a separate deck.
For Machamp SF, I'd run lots of Warp Energy and Switch (not Warp Point; it just switches your opponents' Pokémon back too).
 
IM liking the idea with Gengar prime and Miasma Valley u can even tech in Ditto just in case there bench is already full.
 
I would do it with Machamp and...

Politoed!

^ because if they have politoed they can switch lumineon with machamp each turn for no cost. i never though of the gengar prime seeker combo...i guess its a pretty obvious one too. ive never seen that lumineon before and its pretty good.
 
To switch with Machamp, use the power, then retreat for free. Wouldn't be bad, actually, just a bit clunky.
 
The thing is that you can t always get a Seeker in your hands, and that is when I tried the Lostgar. Plus, if you only use Seeker, you will be very slow, as you are wasting a Supporter each turn. Wiht Claydol, it could be good but...
 
^Uxie. Every turn you get a Seeker, you can get up to 7 cards in your hand. Just use a good amount of trainer-power (which wouldn't be good vs. VileGar, but oh well) to get the hand-size down, and there you go.
 
i have a deck like this.
iv tried it and it works well all i needed was the consistency,

iv got

3-3-3-1 machamp
3-3 Lumineon
2-2 Dodrio UD
2 jirachi RR

4 switch
4 seeker
4 warp energy
4 VS seeker
2 judge



thats just my essentials the rest is just seaching supporters/trainers ENERGY
i stuck in a machamp LV.X incase they get a powered up pokemon out. they attack me its unlikely they will kill me in one. then i machamp LV.x Boomya there dead. then i still have 2 machamps to continue my strategy
