Deck Primer

A deck I made as per request of a friend guess what pokemon they like ;p

STRATEGY:

use celebi to search for necessary pokemon (priority should typically be Ogerpon, Turtwig, Torterra, Grotle, Shuckle, Celebi)

rocky helmet should ideally be used on torterra or ogerpon (depending on who is able to be set-up) 

area zero is used to boost torterra's "Forest March" to a maximum of 240 (precious trolley can be used to speed up bench filling)

if area zero is removed from play lana's aid is used to return

if area zero is removed from play lana's aid is used to return the pokemon to play the next time area zero is back in play

ideal final set up should have torterra being healed by shuckles, rocky helmet applied and one or two shotting opposing pokemon

Hi! Big Gen 4 fan here so I had to take a look at a new Torterra ex deck!

I think you should consider removing Area Zero Underdepths since there's no tera pokemon in this deck. The point of that card is to increase the bench capacity of a player using tera type pokemon. It doesn't really make a lot of sense here. I would also sugguest looking for other cards to fulfill the roles of arven, technical machine turbo energize, and rocky helmet. All three of those cards will be exiting the standard format very soon and I think if you want this deck to last even longer for your friend then you should consider other cards.

My suggestion would be to replace arven with lillie's determination for draw power, rocky helmet with lucky helmet, and replace area zero underdepths with more forest of vitality. Probably 3 or 4 forest since stadiums can be difficult to search out. I see you have celebi which is cool for searching out stadiums but seems like a hard pokemon to run? Not sure. Might need to try it myself.

Last thought is that Shuckle at 3 seems like a lot. The hypothtical 90 damage recovery per turn sounds nice and works as a soft counter to munkidori but 3 just seems like a lot.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Thank you for the heads up about the cards leaving rotation, I'll probably update the deck once they leave (lucky helmet is a good shout btw). I also agree that the 3 shuckle is alot but I couldn't find many other basic grass pokemon that could stay on the bench and participate, if you know any that might fit better lmk :p

Area zero underdepths does still work since ogerpon is in the deck, although I wouldn't blame you for missing it.

I just think that it can't do enough damage to make a large impact on other meta decks like dragapult (also you should remove some shuckle and maybe put in another ogerpon)
