This deck has been built to counter poke-powers/bodies, and coin flips.
It works well, because I haven't seen a good deck that doesn't rely on them.
Umbreon protects itself from pokemon that have them, and Shiftry stops the defending pokemon using them.
Here's my current decklist: (work in progress)

Pokemon(19):
Eevee UD47 x1
Eevee MD62 x1
Eevee RR59 x2
Umbreon UD10 x2
Espeon UD02 x1
Vaporeon RR34 x1
Seedot RR78 x2
Nuzleaf RR x2
Shiftry RR x1
Slowpoke HS81 x2
Slowbro HS52 x1
Slowking UD85 x1
D&C Legend top TR99 x1
D&C Legend bottom TR100 x1

T/S/S(21)
Luxury ball SF86 x1
Sage's Training x2
Team Rocket's Trickery x2
Prof Elm's Training method x3
Prof Oak's New Theory x1
Looker's investigation x2
Interviewer's Questions x2
Energy Exchanger x2
Poke Ball x2
Bebe's search x2
BTS x1
Burned tower x1

Energy(20)
Special darkness x2
Psychic x6
Darkness x9
Water x3

Chances are with this deck you'll start with an Eevee. (The only reason they aren't all RR is cause I only have 2. Plus if I end up with MD, I can get my RR Eevees onto the bench.) Then I signs of evolution an umbreon and either espeon or vaporeon. (Again, I only have 2 umbreon, and I'm trying to find an Espeon Prime so it can moonlight fang aswell.)
If I start with Seedot, I Harden until something else comes along, and try to shiftry it as soon as possible. Conform does 40 and confuses if we have the same number of cards (currently looking for judge + Copycat) which is why I run Lookers (UP TO 5) plus seal off stops the defending pokemon using pokebodies/powers. Slowking is for extra drawing, plus backup attack. Slowbro's somewhere to put all my spare psychic energy, plus for 3 energy (W,PP) it can OHKO a Donphan Prime. D&C Legend I'm getting rid of, I'm just not sure what to put in instead. Prof Elm is for Eeveelutions/Shiftry/Slowking. Sages training gets my cards out quick, and I can discard my energy because I have so much, and because of burned tower.

This deck is actually more consistant than you'd think, and the only reason I don't run Uxie is because I don't own it.

All comments or improvements welcome.

PS if anyone has any Shiftry, I may be interested, same with Espeon prime and Uxie.



don't ask me why.

Actually, most good decks don't rely on coin flips, which is the reason this deck wouldn't work in competitive play. However, if you're just playing around with friends who use lots of coins, this could be a fun concept.

You might want to thin down your Pokemon lines a little. Try to fit in some additional drawing/searching effects, such as Pokemon Collector, Pokemon Communication, and Bebe's Search.
