Poison your opponents and keep them poisoned! Spread out bench damage while collecting cards. Knock them out quickly and efficiently. Even the most powerful opponents will fall!

Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar really run the show. Sinister Fog attack secures that every benched opponent has a damage marker. When Gengar with the Gnawing Curse ability hits the bench, you can almost guarantee Gengar with Creep Show attack can clean it up.

Muk ability ensures that poisoned opponents early game get no reprieve and for just 1 energy, can speed up your Creep Show Gengar.

Mareanie is great in the start spot at the beginning of the game and Toxapex ability can really let that poison linger. When combined with Muk, ensures everybody keeps getting damage.

Proper utilization of Arezu and Evolution Incense not only let's you find Gengar, but also find Weezing quickly, which is just as important.

Discarding Weezing with the Roxie supporter card can guarantee the bench damage spread while also filling your hand faster than your opponent. Ultimately setting up Creep Show Gengar even faster.

Dust Island Stadium card combined with Toxapex ensures that there is no escaping poison damage. 

Level Ball really shines in this deck allowing for a 2nd turn Haunter find or even Grimer or Mareanie on the bench. When used with Arezu, Evolution Incense, and Fog Crystal correctly, you can get your team on the bench and your enemy poisoned by 2nd or 3rd turn. 

This deck is meant to shock and awe your opponent who have decks that take several turns to setup to full capacity. There is not a lot of room for error, but missing a piece of the puzzle will not ruin your experience.

Poison them early any way you can. Keep them poisoned with Muk, Toxapex, and Dust Island. Use Weezing with Roxie to add up those damage counters. Clean everything up with Creep Show Gengar. Adding Gnawing Curse Gengar early makes your Creep Show Gengar that much more dangerous earlier. Laugh yourself silly knocking out pokemon with only 30 damage on them.

I cannot get this deck to work. Its so slow. I even took out the mareanie line and added more card draw and still nothing. Its just too much set up the way the current meta is and poison in expanded is even easier to dispell.

Thank you for the feedback! I have made some adjustments because of it.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to turbo the deck while keeping it within expanded format.

I agree that this deck has no business in the current meta, I created this deck with a "No Rule Box" format in mind. Or even a more casual setting against a Level 1 deck.

Hopefully with the inclusion of Escape Rope and Boss's Orders, eliminating some of those pesky bench protection Pokémon will be a little easier.

Even when utilizing Roxanne before the adjustment, it was accelerating into a brick wall. With the inclusion of Avery and Serena, I think the deck has a little bit more purpose after the initial first 3 turns... Once again. Thank you for your feedback.
