Seismitoad / Garbodor Skeleton List:
Pokémon: 8
Strategy:
The goal of this deck is to immensely slow your opponent down with Quaking Punch, Garbotoxin, Crushing Hammer, Head Ringer, and many other annoying cards. They can't play Items, they can't use abilities, their attacks cost more Energy, and their Energy is being discarded. With just Energy and Supporters, some decks may have trouble handling Seismitoad EX. With Muscle Band, Hypnotoxic Laser and Virbank City Gym, Seismitoad EX's little 30 damage attack is doing a decent amount of damage. Seismitoad EX's biggest weakness are Pokemon that accelerate Energy, and decks with a heavy Supporter count (not Items). If your opponent has tons of Energy in play, they can usually overwhelm a Seismitoad EX, and a high Supporter count is sometimes enough to get them that many Energy into play. But most decks won't be able to set up, and crumble to pieces slow and painfully.

Seismitoad / Slurpuff Skeleton List:
Pokémon: 10
Strategy:

They can't play Items, they can't use abilities, their attacks cost more Energy, and their Energy is being discarded. Slurpuff allows you to draw these cards much faster, then you can use Lysandre's Trump Card, shuffle them all back in, then draw them super quick with Tasting. With just Energy and Supporters, some decks may have trouble handling the constant barrage of disruption Items.

Seismitoad / Crobat Skeleton List:
Pokémon: 15
Strategy:
Eliminate your opponent's item usage with Quacking Punch as soon as possible. Use Bats to deal a ton of damage to your opponents field. Target high priority threats with Bats to make them easier to knock out when they become active. The Bat, Hypnotoxic Laser, and Muscle Band damage really adds up.
