I thought of a tottaly rouge idea. Have raikou and enti legend and have igglybuff and cleffa in a deck and also have the card twins and have rescue energys and rainbow energys and some indigo plateau's in a deck. The only problem i see with this deck is donphan prime. Well this idea can be very easy to set up because of the card twins and pokemon communcation and all the pokemon here have free retreat so pokemon catcher wont hurt this deck much. And you can get raikou and enti back in your hand with the card seeker and play it right back down. At the begining of the match you stall them with igglybuff or cleffa and when one is knocked with that can be easy to do you can play the card twins and set up raikou and enti.

I'm a bit confused. Could you explain what Igglybuff and ERL are for? ERL isn't that good, and if you seeker up ERL, it will take another turn before you can attack with it. Whats the strategy? Where's the synergy?

Also, if you only run ERL, then Samurott, Donphan, Magnezone, RDL, Badboar, Machamp, or even Basculin will easily take prizes. Tyrogue also will donk your babies.
 
Well ERL is the attacker The baby's are for stalling and i wouldnt worry about tyrouge you evan could put tyrouge in there instead of igglybuff. The babys are for stalling and just for baisc pokemon to start with.
 
Sorry, but this just wouldn't work. Babies are pretty bad at stalling unless you lucksack tremendously. And ERL is tough to get out, you can only run a 2-2 line, and it has weakness to Water and Fighting (and not great HP at 140). Donphan OHKOs with a PlusPower. Pretty much any competent Water-type rogue you'd run into OHKOs it. And that 90 damage isn't going to help a whole lot, or 80 to PokePowers (you really wouldn't get too many KOs this way - maybe on Magnezone or Pachirisu or Shaymin, and probably something else I'm forgetting, but still).
 
You can get the hp up with indigo plateau and you can also add in plus power's and you can add in some pokemon catcher's.
 
Great, so you can stall, and stall a bit more. But how do you win? The deck would have bad damage output, bad speed, I don't understand it at all.
 
See if you have reshiram and typhloshin your oppoent can just bring up typhloshin with pokemon catcher but with this deck that cant happen to you. all the pokemon have free retreat. With this deck you can get raikou and enti up to 170 hp with inigo plateau and this deck is good aginst yanmega and mew.
 
Um, yes we can Catcher your Pokemon. We Catcher your babies, and we KO them before you have a chance to retreat. Secondly, you have no answer to google.dec. SEl hits you for weakness, Donphan hits you for weakness, and you can't score any KO's at all on your opponent. The same goes against any Donphan variant.

Catcher will ko you basics not try to stall you. Merely Tyrogue could take out have this deck. Also, Iggybuff doesn't stall because 1 extra {C} doesn't do much against most deck. ZPST, Stage 1$, Donphan DCE, TyRam, MegaJudge, and any other deck with Donphan or Yanmega (which is most of the meta) isn't affected by Iggybuff.
 
You could also run black belt if they did try to snipe the babys. And im thinking tyrouge would be better than igglybuff so you could run tyrouge instead. And not many people run tyrouge and if they did you could have more than one basic at the start.
 
Yanmega could still ko all your babies while they are on the bench, and you'd need Black Belt, which is waste of your supporter, to ko Yanmega. Also, Ruins of Alph can take out Indigo Plateu, so ERL has 140 again, letting you ko it with Donphan + PP, Samurott, Basculin, etc.
 
Its not a very good idea to say the least. Stalling is never a good idea. Tanking however might work, but you can't tank in this situation.
 
But by then there would already be a prize lead (Don't say add Twins).

ERL has a bad damage output, and Magnezone along with many other things can ko it. There is no drawpower, and getting out legends can be hard. If you run babys and ERL, then there is a big chance you'll be donked.
 
Sure the damage out put isnt the best but you can have plus power to help out. And you cant disrupt this deck by bring up another active pokemon. And this deck can heal ERL.
 
How? Cleffa nor Igglybuff can heal. you'd need Serperior or seeker to heal and even then you won't be able to attack as soon as ERL is put back down.
 
Your damage cap is only 90 without PlusPowers, and even then since you have to discard Energy setting up another ERl is a pain without Typhlosion/Emboar.
 
Hey guys! I've got a deck idea! Set up a powerful card and win! *sarcasm* (Even though this doesn't even have the support to manage that much...)

Anyways, more seriously, this is going nowhere. Although the above was sarcastic, it's true. Your babies will get swapped out with Catcher and annihilated, leaving you only with an ERL that isn't yet ready to attack, which will then be easily taken out. OR, they Catcher up your ERL as soon as you play it, KO it (leaving you with a field of babies), and take every prize. OR, they kill all your babies before you even see an ERL. OR, you get donked. By anything that can manage 30 damage. Which is just about everything.
