Pokemon (10):
This deck idea has been floating about the community for a while now so I was hoping we could come together a bit and make it a thing. With the advent of Mega Turbo, if you try to run a deck with both Landorus FFI and Mega Turbo, you'll mostly find yourself only being able to attach one energy a turn, or Landorus will be sitting there not doing much at all. With the power of super speedy decks such as Raymin on the horizon, what better lead Pokemon than Wobbuffet! Wobbuffet is about as bulky as Landorus, while shutting down Shaymin namely while not significantly slowing down energy acceleration. Raymin decks will be loathe to put down Shaymin cards before removing all Wobblys on your side, making them take a while to find the Benched Pokemon needed to power up Rayquaza, and potentially prevent Turn 1 MRays due to slowing down the deck.
Now, there are several concerns with my deck list
- 3 - 3 Primal Groudon EX
- 4 Wobbuffet FFI
- 2 Korrina
- 2 Lysandre
- 1 Lysandre's Trump Card
- 1 N
- 4 Professor Sycamore
- 3 Battle Compressor
- 4 Mega Turbo
- 3 Robo Substitute
- 2 Switch
- 1 Scramble Switch
- 2 Ultra Ball
- 3 VS Seeker
- 4 Scorched Earth
- 2 Fighting Stadium
- 3 Groudon Spirit Link
- 4 Strong Energy
- 9 Fighting Energy

Now, there are several concerns with my deck list
- I'm not sure about Robo Sub. While it does allow for some stalling if required, MRay would love nothing more than being able to Lysandre it out and shut off Bide Barricade. Obviously, it's still possible if I end up with Groudon on the bench before the Mega for Raymin to either just play a Lysandre or Battle Compressor and VS Seeker a Lysandre, but it'll definitely help.
- I'm not sure about ditching Korrina completely in favour of another couple of Ultra Balls.
