Deck Primer

I was challenged to make a good deck that has Magikarp as a vital part of the deck (not including it being the prevolution to Gyarados). So, I decided that I could use the Gyarados that does damage based off of all of your damaged Magikarp. On its own, Magikarp is immune to damage on the bench, and Big Parasol attached to your atcive Pokemon also makes them immune to effects, so no worry there!

In order to get the damage is to do the damage stacking loop with Klefki, Reuniclus, and Weavile. The bench might seem a little crowded, but a single Magikarp at 10 HP with Luxurious Cape attached brings Gyarados to 390 damage! Happy trolling!

Maybe find space for something that can recycle Dew, that sounds really toxic on the Dos. The Klefki/gapejaw/damage swap combo is very clever as well.

NoGoodNames The first thing that I can think of is Lana's Fishing Rod (Cosmic Eclipse) to recycle tools. However, the main issue I found with this was the lack of card draw and an engine, and the limited bench space is also an issue. Do you know what an effective engine would be for this deck?

I also didn't think of the bog/Klefki/Reuniclus combo, as I saw it being used in an Unown Damage deck a while back.

Depending on how much use you actually get out of Weavile, that could make space for Bibarel or something. I don't really know Expanded, but I do know lots of solid cards.

NoGoodNames Weavile is used to put Klefki backj into your hand when it turns into a tool, letting you reset the loop and stack more damage.
