Base-Fossil: Venomoth Mr. Mime

Base to Fossil format

The deck is still being tweaked but I find the venomoth card to be compelling and charismatic, even if it will never realistically be a top threat in the format (although it can 1v1 anything if you just keep flipping heads.)

The deck is looking to chip with venomoth and flip lots of heads and then retreat for free into a mr. mime that can clean up pretty well and cover certain matchups. To get venomoth to hit for super effective damage (a whopping 20) as often as possible, we

The deck is looking to chip with venomoth and flip lots of heads and then retreat for free into a mr. mime that can clean up pretty well and cover certain matchups. To get venomoth to hit for super effective damage (a whopping 20) as often as possible, we want pokemon of every type. With grass and psychic covered, there are four other types to include (colourless doesnt work)

- Mankey helps us pick the right prize cards, can get techy with lass in grindy stall games, and could theoretically help clean up by attacking with one of any energy. I have used mankey to get KOs in other decks in niche situations. Peek is the main reason to play it though.

- Electabuzz is pretty bad but can theoretically attack for 10-30 damage in a pinch and helps against various birds and turtles

- Charmander likewise isn't a super threatening choice but can be used to finish off a scyther in a pinch, survives a decent number of non pluspower attacks, and attacks for a single energy (these last two are advantages over ponyta which can hit harder in a vaccuum)

- Psyduck can block supporters and evolve into golduck who can fight magmar a bit better than anything else in the deck. I expect magmar to be the main threat to this deck as it matches up well into basically everything, but especially mr. mime and venomoth, our most "serious" cards.

I need to playtest more to determine how legit this is and tune it to the matchups I want it to do best in.
