How to WIN with this fun strategy :

1.) Get Gyarados Out and attacking as fast as possible.

(This is to mill your deck so only water energy remains as more water energy =       Higher Damage Numbers)  - Use Manaphy or other searchers to get this set up.

2.) Clean up with Avalugg or Kingdra. / Set up Frosmoth.
     - This will help with your Tempo.

3.) Use frosmoth to load Kyogre with energy so it can SNIPE for 250 /or Use Kingdra to SNIPE for 360. Or Use Battle Compressor to make your deck thinner so

     - This will help with your Tempo.

3.) Use frosmoth to load Kyogre with energy so it can SNIPE for 250 /or Use Kingdra to SNIPE for 360. Or Use Battle Compressor to make your deck thinner so you chances increase for hitting energy.

4.) With the recovery cards avaliable to you, load your deck with as much water energy as u can send back to deck.
      - Using Basclegion you can send all discarded energy back into deck whilst               usually hitting for a OHKO.

5.) Alternative strats, - Discard Fraligator and use Peony to get Archie into hand with anything else you want. - Then use Archie on your next turn to get either Basculegion or Fraligator for free just incase they are focused by your opponent or discarded by card effects.

- Fraligator is here so you can discard extra energy in hand because your attackers don't need much energy (except kyogre) so Frosmoth looses value in this senario and it just fills up your hand unnecessarily making your attackers hit for less DMG consistantly.

FOR POTENTIAL ADDITIONS. - CounterCatcher , More counters to bench protection, better recursion, (Floe Return) Dewgong who can fill Fraligators role, the new kyogre if u want (50/50) on it. Bench protection of your own, Intelion , Rapid Strike Starmie , Frostlass (Spiteful Sigh or freezing Shroud) , Ways to manipulate top deck (Academy at Night / ETC) ,Walking Wake as an alternative attacker. Better Supporters (Tag Call + Guszma Hala) , better draw support like Cynthia (sun and moon)

Regardless - THIS IS FOR FUN , but it has potential honestly i hope your able to make this better or at least enjoy your time using this off-meta strategy.

If yoy really want to make this more consistant - Cut Fraligator , Archie completely and replace it with IONO and Marnie. (Forgot to add this in the Primer).
