VileGar reborn...

Now with one fewer 's'

Everyone remember VileGar last season? Yeah, this is the same thing, except with a different Gengar...

Pokémon (23):

4-4-4 Gengar Prime TM
3-1-2 Vileplume UD
2x Mr. Mime CoL
2x Spiritomb TM
1x Cleffa HS

T/S/S (29):

4x Pokémon Collector
4x Twins
4x Seeker
3x Sage's Training
3x Professor Oak's New Theory
2x Professor Juniper
3x Pokémon Communication
3x Rare Candy
2x Lost World

Energy (9):

9x Psychic Energy

Strategy is to set up Vileplume and Gengar and Hurl Into Darkness the opponent's Pokémon (through Mr. Mime to look at the hand for Pokémon, Spiritomb to make them shuffle-draw, and Seeker to force them to pickup a benched Pokémon). Since Gengar has 130 HP, it works really well with Vileplume against decks that cap at 120 without PlusPower (cough dragons cough). Gengar shouldn't get OHKO'd where damage is capped, as it has a really useful weakness (the only Dark-types in the meta are Zoroark and to an extent Weavile, but neither can capitalize on Weakness). Obviously, Magnezone OHKOs as can Gothitelle, but that's just a problem that will have to be dealt with. After 6 opponent Pokémon are LZ'd, Lost World FTW.

I'm really liking this list and I feel good about the space, but obviously, any extra help is much appreciated. Let me know what you think. If you think the proportions of the 8 Supporters are off (3 Sage-3 PONT-2 Juniper), let me know, I'm still trying to work on that.

Also, if anyone has any super bright ideas for including Reuniclus, that would be fantastic, but I scrapped it due to lack of space for it to be able to run in a timely manner (and also the fact that it can't play well without Tropical Beach, which I'm not going to get).

So yeah. If you ignore the random tangents, you might be able to get what I'm saying. C/C much appreciated.
 
I see what you are trying to get at here, but you simply wont be capitalizing on VileGar without Reuniclus.

Being a Haunter fan I have been trying to make LostGar work for quite some time. I'm not going to post my entire VileGar deck, but how I fit Reuniclus in is by adding in a bellossom to remove damage each turn and a dragon to throw the damage on to either outrage or seeker. Time is a problem because you probably wont be set up on T2, but it is really the only way Gengar can last against it's worse matchup, ZPST. If thats what you fear as well, here is my suggestion.

- 1-1-1 Gengar
- 1 Mr. Mime (i always found 2 or more too many, a very bad pokemon to start with)
- 2 Spiritomb
- 2 Juniper (discarded energy is never good in this deck)
- 1 Sage

+ 3-2-2 Reuniclus
+ 1 Dragon or Bellossom (to help manage damage counters, Bellossom is a bit risky though)
+ 1 Oak
