Yes yes, you heard well, this is a Lost Origin Spiritomb deck WITHOUT Cinccino. I know Cinccino is usually the way to get, but give this deck a try!

You can look in my profile, I've already done a Cinccino + Spiritomb deck and it was good, but the main issue was the important dependence on having a board of Cinccino quickly. It was inspired by LDF's deck. I like it, but it was not consistent when I couldn't get Cinccino early.

And here is my new version that feels so much better! Contrary to the Magikarp

Yes yes, you heard well, this is a Lost Origin Spiritomb deck WITHOUT Cinccino. I know Cinccino is usually the way to get, but give this deck a try!

You can look in my profile, I've already done a Cinccino + Spiritomb deck and it was good, but the main issue was the important dependence on having a board of Cinccino quickly. It was inspired by LDF's deck. I like it, but it was not consistent when I couldn't get Cinccino early.

And here is my new version that feels so much better! Contrary to the Magikarp deck, we only need to dicard 4 (and often only 3) Spiritomb so the Cinccino engin is not that necessary. Instead, I decided to rely on Bibarel to draw cards and to discard the Spiritomb, the Quick Balls and Ultra Balls are perfect. Ball Guy is the key here: Grab an Heavy Ball, grab a Level Ball, grab an Ultra Ball and discard your Tombs! 

Some tech I added in the deck:

- 2 Water Energy to have the option to attack with Greninja, especially in Single Prize matchup to take an additional KO.

- Spiritomb from Brilliant Stars has acutally saved my more than once. Both attacks are awesome. The first one is good against huge tank (Goodra, Stonjourner) with a lot of heal. Turning the weakness to Dark will help to OHKO them. They can retreat indeed, but at least they are wasting resources too. The second attack put 2 damage counters in anyway I like, which can help fix some maths.

- Shedinja is here especially for the PikaFly match-up. This bypass the immunity and bring them to 10HP. You can then deal the last 10HP with the second attack of Spiritomb from Brilliant Stars.

Don't hesitate to suggest anything.

I added the end of a matchup I had with the deck. It was an example of when Brilliant Star Spiritomb (through Ditto) really helped to fix the math.

This deck looks neat, I love when people on here don't just reconstruct a meta deck plus or minus a few items lmao. I was going to ask about the shedinja and how it gets into play, but I realized as I was typing this you're using the dittos. Nice deck!

Thanks! The Shedinja is actually a last minute addition after I got forced to give up against a PikaFly Vmax ahah Before that, I had a Baby Galarian Moltres. But to be fair, the Shedinja is so synergic here, it felt perfect the moment I added it in the deck. With Exp Share and Raihan, it is actually easy to do three attachments in a turn. And the fact that Brilliant Star Spiritomb put 2 Damage Counters wherever I want makes it even a better partner.

After playing for a little more time, there is one challenge I encountered: When I have my two Ultra Balls prized, I can struggle a bit to discard my spiritomb. I'm thinking of a solution right now, but I might replace the Evo Encense by a third Ultra Ball ou maybe add a Zinnia's Resolve or an Allister instead of Prof research
