290 with magmortar if you play a stage 1 box with hyper and play Volcarona for burn…maybe Zoro as a draw engine and you play Air Balloons? Also if they fail the coin flip, 340 ko’s all non mega stage 2’s and a few mega stage 1’s (or all but we have 2 of the 4 stage 2 megas and Abomasnow or Manectric could have more). This could work, burn box did get day 2 at regional and maybe you adapt this to work with that playstyle
Mega Camerupt ex and Mega Kangaskhan ex from “Mega Brave” and “Mega Symphonia” Revealed!

Oh you also could do 320 I guess if u have 2 mag’s in play
I smell the ash of Wela Volcano Park between its humps. 
i like the kanga, i will make it work
Wow Basic Camerupt?
Using Wally or Turo with Mega Camerupt ex is a very real possibility due to its lower attack cost… or even just playing Switch into extra Mega Camerupt ex to force your opponent to find Gust effects before you can heal. (Also, running Volcanion ex and Latias ex might be more consistent than running Volcarona, though it DOES leave you with more liabilities.)
This. Glad somebody noticed the Latias ex synergy. Not sure if it necessarily replaces Mew ex, though… it’s more like Oranguru V, only for decks that aren’t built around daisy-chaining abilities to create complicated Brute Bonnet-enabled board states turn 1.
We ended up getting M Camerupt EX and M Sharpedo EX promos released alongside the Primal Clash EX prints in $40 premium collections at the beginning of 2017, with full art versions appearing in an even larger box.
Kangaskhan ability is nuts on a basic with Latias and Pecharunt in format. Ignore the crappy attack. This will definitely see serious play
The camerupt isn't that bad, there are ways to create the burns without an extra sstage 1's by building the deck with switches and volcanion. Two stage 1 is still doable, adding magmortar on top of that is not tho.
There is also the possibility of using the second attack (R + triple energy) with victiny and the -30 for stage 2 stadiums to hit 320 which is a number it needs to hit.
The khanghaskan is in the same boat, but i think the damage output is very unreliable for 250 and it will never hit relevant numbers without major luck. The only good thing about it is that it is 350HP (with charm) Which makes it funny.
Neither card deserves to see much play either tho. Camerupt needs max belt for the 3 prizers & khanghaskan cannot be fixed, is just sheer luck, even as a draw engine with latias ex, it is not good

Is a 3 prizer that can be OHKO'd relatively easily.
Latias and pecharunt are just two easy prizes too. You have 5 prizes right there, is easier and more reliable to just use fezandipiti Ex and have more limited draw (but not much tho, because let's ne honest the main use is like pivot khanghaskan after a Ko, then set-up your next attacker & retreat, otherwise you need switch cards).
Maybe next format if boss is indeed cycled out of the meta that kind of set-up is more viable (still i would rather use fezan or zoroark ex). But right now, is not worth it, is too much of a risk for two additional cards
But it being a 3 prizer is fine, if you're only playing two prizers, cause they still need to KO 3 Pokémon to win, stuff like bolt is gonna love this card
They aren't going to love this. I don't see a practical application, like at all. You are not going to be OHKOing anything with this reliably, has no easy way to be loaded up in bolt either (crispin takes two turns) and doesn't support triple energies.
Also, the implication of the original post was "it will see serious play" which it won't; seeing niche play (not in bolt) is not the same as "serious play", is much better in stuff like blissey ogerpon, but that begs the question of if blissey ogerpon is even good to begin with.
If i'm going to play a 3 prizer, is not going to be a basic one that does 200 for 3 energies and maybe 250 sometimes, especially not with 210 or less HP two prizers in my deck as support (as munkidori is in format and thanks to that pult and grimsnarl punish them quite often; fezan is risk/reward, anything else is usually never worth it).
I'm going to play a very bulky one with healing options, a basic with very low cost high damage for the cost attacks or one that i can play until very late into the game, to finish the game up like mega garde.
youre not attacking with this thing, youre using it to draw extra cards each turn after a knockout, it allows the deck to get more set up making it more iono proof
I said “ignore the crappy attack” in my original comment. No one will be playing this for the shitty attack. Draw 2 is a very strong ability in this meta, and as Cyndaquil said, because you’re almost entirely 2 prizers, going on odd prizes is not a big deal if they gust and kill. Putting charm on this thing bumps it to a monstrous 350 which is more than any Stage 2 anyways making it very hard to OHKO in this meta. They would probably just gust up Squawk or Latias or Fez instead, depending on the board state. The question isn’t if this card is good in big basic, it’s how good big basic decks will be when Gardevoir is meta king in a few months. Either way, I would be shocked if it sees no high-level in the next 2 and a half years of its standard legality.
