It's such a good idea to use Arboliva in this list. However, since you're not running the stage 1's of Skeledirge and Arboliva, Boost Shake only works with Armarouge. This also means you should be running 4 Rare Candy to maximize your ability to evolve throughout the game. The 270 dmg that Skeledirge does will KO basic V's and ex's, but anything bigger will need another hit, or some additional help. I recommend Vitality Band to bring his dmg up to 280, and utilizing the power of Radiant Heatran to accelerate to with Magma Basin (instead of Artazon) and hit anything for the KO. You don't have any draw supporters and Rotom V really only works on your 1st turn, so we need to add 6-8 draw supporters (Professor's Research, Iono, Avery). You can remove your healing trainer cards; you have that covered through Arboliva. Forest Seal Stone is great, but this deck struggles with finding spots for V pokemon. For consistency, use at least a 2-2 Bidoof/Bibarel line, and use 4 Ultra Ball to empty your hand and find the right pokemon for the situation. You could add 1-2 Exp Share to save energy, and a Super Rod to recover your Arboliva late game if needed. Lastly, I don't think Capturing Aroma is necessary, nor do I think it will help you like it does in Lugia VSTAR lists. What will help you is a way to find your Battle VIP Pass, if you wish to run it, which can be done through Celebrations Mew. I know this was a long-winded post, but adding these suggestions will improve your game plan significantly.

MindTrickNick you made some excellent points, I agree with the magma basin and Heatran. However I still think that there nees to be more than arboliva to heal. You made some spectactular points so please message me on Discord @Photoblast. or continue to messgae me here.

Edited your deck, check out my profile. Remember, you can't get use out of Boost Shake, and you need to set up first before you can heal anything. Consistency is key. Faulkner isn't consistent when you're only running 2 stadiums. Cutting Rare Candy isn't an option when your Skeledirge and Arboliva have no other way to evolve.

@MindTrickNick  Boost Shake skips a stage so yes I can get use put of it, don't need manaphy no one bench snipes, don't need two mews and it only matters if you use 4 battle vip passes. Super rod ain't worth it. Also unpopular opinion proffesors research is bad. Discard your hand are ypu kidding me. I do agree adding in another Magma basin

I didn't like discarding my hand either but this is how you cycle through your deck. Duplicates allow you to discard your hand because you have more in your deck; being willing to discard your cards for better ones is the difference between a beginner and a veteran player - see lost box. Speaking of which, lost box, Chien-Pao, Giratina Lost Zone, and Rapid Strike Box all run bench snipe; its a stretch to say no one does. Pokemon you discard you can recover with Rod.  Reread Boost Shake man. Nowhere does it say you can skip a Stage.

MindTrickNick Boost Shake in fact does because it says find an evolution from the pokemon the clue is it never doesn't. Look it up and I am a veteran player I have been playing since I was 8, I'm 17. I still don't like proffesors research. It seems like a waste. Also about Bench Sniping yes some run it but most don't and most are easy to counter I know I ran multiple.

Lycanroc-Your Mom avatar

I looked it up again and your right about Boost Shake. My bad g

I'm just trying to help. Notice how I changed the Charcadet in the deck? I used the one from SVI with 70hp and 1 retreat. This makes it so all basics but Radiant Heatran have 1 retreat. No one wants more healing in these decks than me, but this is still too much, coming from someone who tinkered with Heatran VMAX. Running a 3-3 line of Skeledirge is recommended not to clog up the deck, but to ensure you can start and finish with one. Prizes remove 1/10 of your deck, and you have no control over what is prized and what you pick up from your prizes, meaning we need more of our best cards. 

Lycanroc-Your Mom avatar

I know your trying to help, and I do see the charcadet thing normally I just go for higher health but retreating is nice. Also I normally run a 2-2 with my main attacker because I have a decent few others, as I do here. And like I said I am a veteran player on here alone I've made 35 decks. I know about prize cards. The chance is just low that both are prized and it does clog up deck. I would say use the bibarel line or a 3-3 skeledirge line

MindTrickNick sorry again forgot to ping in my last comment

faulkner is a bad supporter. even if you arent willing to pay professor's research, ive seen lists play colress's experiment, prof.research, and iono to draw. 4 Rare candy is a must. i suggest more bidoof/bibarel or even the kirlia engine from silver tempest. bravery charm is useless because skeledirge ex is a stage 2, and you need 1 more fuecoco and skeledirge ex. try to run 4-4 nest ball and ultra ball for consistency, and if you want to use the kirlia engine, run level balls too. Also, i like the use of arboliva, but i would suggest trying out cheryl instead.

NEEETH avatar

and also Lycanroc-Your Mom the amount of decks you made doesnt make you a veteran. I joined like last month and ive alr made 22 decks. Defo consider adding prof. reserach, more fuecoco/skeledirge and more bidoof/bibarel. also if you use Bibarel, run 1 nest stash skwvet. also defo cut sweet honey bc its not a great card. you can run 1 lucky ice pop if you really want to.

Lycanroc-Your Mom avatar

NEEETH Sure the amount of decks doesnt matter but most of the decks ive built on this website ive spent 5+ hours on each,and i thats not even all the ones ive built. Additionally I've been to around 50 tournaments as well. I've been playing since I was 8. Also bravery charm is for heatran. No not useless, let's me put more energies on him not having to heal him. I do use Cheryl. Proffesors Research is a bad card don't need more fuecoco or Skeledirge's 2 is fine.i only need 1 pair of bidoof or bibarel. Faulkner isn't necessarily bad. I have 4 rare candy. And sweet honey is way better than ice pop. Don't tell me what I need to run or what I can run. And finally I do run Cheryl.

Lycanroc-Your Mom avatar

NEEETH I did however take your advice with Faulkner for now at least and added in a Cheryl and a nest ball

NEEETH avatar

OK sorry if i sounded really rude, but i would defo add more lines of the important cards so you have more consistency through out the game.

Lycanroc-Your Mom avatar

Sure I understand that. It's just not how I run decks because for me and my decks they just clutter it.
