Silvally is my favourite Pokemon, and it isn't close. I've been meaning to make a deck around it and its interesting type-shifing mechanic. But now I have!

Kabutops from 151 is the answer I've been looking for, as it's ability grants you a weakness enhancer without the need of a tool! At first I thought that Supereffective Glasses would do it, but then you wouldn't have the tool slot available to actually change the type lol. Anyways, Silvally GX being its own draw engine is really convinient,

At first I thought that Supereffective Glasses would do it, but then you wouldn't have the tool slot available to actually change the type lol. Anyways, Silvally GX being its own draw engine is really convinient, making it so you don't need a Bibarel sitting on the bench at all times, and the fossils Archeops and Kabutops provide your damage and energy acceleration. On its own, Silvally GX does 200 damage for 2 energy when hitting for quad weakness, but if you play a supporter card during that turn, you're hitting for 480! Don't have any supporter cards? Grant makes for an easy way to get one back when you need it. Even better if you're running a fighting-type Silvally GX! When not going against a weakness deck, just use the other memories as discard fodder for Grant and Ultra Ball. I'd also suggest playing as either the fighting or water type set so you can benefit from Grant or Wash Water Energy. Have fun!

(In case you can't tell, this was made to be usable within Live's current expanded format, so when suggesting, please keep them within the SM cards. Thanks!)

Pokémon research lab is a very consistent way of putting the fossil Pokémon onto the field. And if you want to be mean then there are some very toxic fossil Pokémon like omastar and another one I can't remember that lock supporters and items.

Marco_Ne was considering it, but wasn't sure if it would clash too much with Towns Store, or if it was worth ending the turn for. The other fossils also require either having less Pokémon in play or needing the active spot respectively to work best, none of which are the focus of this deck. Thanks anyways!

I really like this idea! I was meaning to build one of my own but never got around to it. The main issue is that there aren't memory disks for enough types to make it really work and this deck also loses to the standard Dragons with no weakness. You need a way to assign a weakness, such as Star Cipher or Conversion 3.

Tangent Yeah, they needed to make disks for the other types. If I were to assign a weakness, it would make the deck slower and it's gimmicky enough as is. So I just went with adding a backup strategy in case they're not using a type that's weak to one of mine.
