Strategy:
To save you the time of going to the Furious Fists scans asking, "what the heck does Poliwrath do?" here they are:

16-poliwhirl.jpg
17-poliwrath.jpg
18-politoed.jpg
19-glaceon.jpg
Ok, so the strategy is to set up a Politoed and bench CelebiEX as soon as possible, then start attacking with Poliwrath/whirl/wag. A good pattern is a one-two punch using Poliwag's second attack then Poliwhirl's second attack. If you had a Silver Bangle attached the whole time, it can hit 180 damage total. Before you're set up you can use Glaceon to get some damage on the board and shield any not yet evolved Pokemon. The spread from Blizzard also helps with Poliwhirl's attack.

Really, the deck struggles against anything but Pyroar and Donphan, which is an easy match once you wipe out any Wobbuffet. But if your meta is absulutely 100% Pyroar and Donphan, you'll have a good time with this deck :p
