2 Ghetsis
3 Eviolite

4 Hypnotoxic lasers
2 Cheren
1 Life dew
Energy

  • 4 Double Colorless energy

Strategy
Pretty obvious. Just set up raticate ASAP, use Dynotrics to acclerate energy to raticate, use Hypnotoxic laser and then Super fang for a OHKO.
 
ALL RATTATA FROM PLASMA FREEZE!!! And Skyarrow will be completely useless here.
-2 Ghetsis
-2 Ultra Ball(everything is Level Ball'able)
-2 Ether
+4 Ditto
Try to never play any Rattata or Tynamo, instead place Ditto in T1 and place both Rattata and Raticate/Tynamo and Eelektrik at once in T2.
+2 Pokemon Communication

But it's safer. A Landorus-EX can snipe donk a Rattata on T1 perfectly easy, but on the other hand Ditto has 70HP, way more relyable. Me, personally, disliked Ditto from the deep of my soul when it first came out, but it was because I didn't understand how useful it was. Just give it a try and you'll see it will be easier to set up. ;)

Hmm... All right, so Ditto will be like a meat shield so the others can set up?

Kind of, it's just that playing a 30HP basic it's too risky, Ditto just helps getting them a bit more safely, knowing that you won't be donked.

That makes sense! Thanks! Why did you leave the ghetsis out though? Or you needed room?
 
Because of both space and the fact that(for me) Ghetsis' only use in on Trainer Lock decks(Gothitelle, Zebstrika...) to discard the items stacking up on the opponent's hand.
 
-2 Virbank City Gym
-2 Eviolite
+2 Aspertia City Gym
+2 Giant Cape

Can't complain about a little bit of bulk when Raticate is so damn frail. Not to mention Eviolite will only really work with your Sableyes (or Dittos as mentioned above) so Giant Cape still works with evolved Pokémon.

And also that Virbank is useless as Super Fang leaves the defending with 10HP.

LOL
This deck is missing Cobalion-EX and Durant,with the help of Ditto of course (ROFL)

With the eelektrik/Sableye set up,this is good. I would however lower your Raticate spread and -1 Sableye


I built this deck. I called it "prelimbic cortex"

4x Ditto (eventually i took it out,i think? lol)
2x Sableye
3-3 Raticate
4x Durant NV
2x Cobalion-EX
===================
3x Enhanced Hammer
2x Crushing Hammer
1x Super rod
2x Skyla
4x Team plasma badge
(Forgot the rest sorry :( )
==================
4x DCE
4x Plasma energy
5x Metal energy
2x prism energy
(I think thats how i had it)

Well,it's a start.

Yep! and it was great. The idea is to make the other player run out of energy and cards from there deck.

What you do is: Use Cobalion-EX for your starter to discard plasma/special energy from there active card.After you take out there energy,start using Durant to discard there deck. once you get Raticate built up switch him as your active and let Raticate do its job.
With the enhanced hammer you can get a boost if you need to take out there bench.

This deck works well if you are up against Kyurem/Deoxys-ex
I have seen others use Snorlax PS with Raticate/lasers
