      Deck Decription:

Reshiram

This is a deck I made myself in about 1 hour, slower than the last one. It is Based on The Truth in a way but yet has a total different strategy following Victini's ability that helps out Reshiram Ex. This is probably not going to be big even if by some chance this blog becomes popular.

Pokemon:

Donphan Prime:

This pokemon is the main attacker of the deck and is used for it's earthquake attack only but if you are facing a opponent with say an Ex you might need a heavy impact to help you. It is the source of this decks power and is a nice match with Reuniclus because Donphan's earthquake does 10 damage to each of your own benched Pokemon and Reuniclus can move that damage to non-attacking Pokemon. Overall it is by far the most important Pokemon in this deck.

Reuniclus:

This Pokemon is for moving around damage that Donphan can do to your bench. It is can also make it hard for your opponent to knock you out your Pokemon using it's Damage Swap ability. It can move the damage to: itself, Terrakion, Victini, Cleffa, and Sableye, which would be helpful because you can move a total of 280 damage to those Pokemon. That is alot of damage.

Terrakion Ex:

This is the only energy acceleration in this deck and is actually not supposed to be used on Donphan Prime. It is actually supposed to be used on Reshiram Ex. Its first attack actually is a very good attack for an attack that costs one fighting and one of any. It does 50 damage and does not apply resistance. It's second attack is even better, it does 90 damage!! But that is not all, it allows you to attach two basic energy cards from your hand to your benched Pokemon in anyway you like. Though this card has only come out in Japan, it will eventually show up in the new set mocking the Japan series. Called Dragons Exalted.

Terrakion

Reshiram Ex:

This Pokemon is the second attacker I picked for this deck. I first picked it actually because I thought that Donphan's weakness was grass and that fire would counter that. Now I realize that it's weakness is actually water ( the same with Reshiram Ex ) though I still like it's addition to this deck and I feel it goes very nicely with Victini's ability. It goes nicely with Victini's Victory Star ability because both of Reshiram Ex's attacks are coin flip based which is good because Victini's ability lets you reflip any coin flips from attacks that you did not like the result of. It is especially good with Brave Fire because you can do Brave Fire every turn for 150 damage with only a 25% chance of doing only 50 damage to itself. It is a very nice addition to the deck.

Cleffa: 

This card is for refreshing your hand at the beginning of the game. It is especially good because when it is asleep it can not be damaged. That is practically it for this card, it is very easy to use and is a very good card in this format.

Sableye:

This practically used only for it's junk hunt attack which is good for getting back Junk Arms if you already used them all. It is also good for reusing Super Rods and Rare Candies that you need. It can also be used for doing 10 damage if you have a SDE ( Special Darkness Energy ) attached to it. It will be used when HGSS is rotated out. So far it is a cheap card but I bet in a year it will be worth alot more.

Victini:

This is for help with Reshiram Ex. It helps it with it's attacks especially Brave Fire. It helps with it's ability but of course if you read this in order you would know what the ability is or if you know by memory. But I will tell you anyway, it's ability allows you to reflip any coin flips from attacks that you were not satisfied with. It can be good and it can be bad but in this case it is very useful.

Victini

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums

PONT:

PONT is the second hand refresher of this deck and is useful for an easy setup. It allows you to "Shuffle your hand into your deck. Then draw 6 cards." it is very good with this deck because you want to be able to get: Reshiram Ex, Victini, Donphan and Phanpy, a fighting energy, and a DCE or Fire energy ASAP and this will help you get that from nothing.

Junk Arm: 

Everyone knows what this card does. It allows you to get any trainer card from your discard pile into your hand, though it costs you any two cards from your hand. I only have 2 in the deck because I also run Sableye in the deck which works well with this card because there is two of them and Sableye can get them both back to use them again.

Pokemon Collector:

This is for getting the basic pokemon out of the deck. It works well with this deck because there are many different important basic Pokemon that run in this deck such as: Phanpy, Victini, Reshiram Ex, Solosis, Terrakion, Cleffa, and Sableye. It is important for a fast setup in this format and will be missed when HGSS is rotated out.

Shiny Reuniclus

PETM:

This card is very useful to get out Donphan Prime as well as Reuniclus, a Duosion. It can let you be able to have a fast start in the game by getting out Donphans early in the game. It is also really nice to get out Reuniclus early so your opponents setup is disturbed so you can easily take the first prizes. This card is not as popular as some other cards but is still very important in my eyes.

Ultra Ball:

This card is important for early game setup as well. It helps you get one of any Pokemon out of your deck. It does have the same cost as Junk Arm. It is also not a supporter so you could say use this to get a Duosion and a PETM to get a Reuniclus then in two turns, boom you have a Reuniclus. It is a good card but I only put one of them in this deck because of the cost of discarding two cards from your hand.

Pokemon Catcher: 

This is probably the card that is the most obviuos. I am not even going to say anything.

Sages Training:

This is the draw engine of this deck and is very useful. The only card that serves the same purpose as this card is Cheren which allows you to draw three cards. This card allows you to look at the top five cards of your deck, choose two of them and put them in your hand. Discard the other three cards. It is useful to get out say a Rare Candy and Reuniclus. You can just get out a Reuniclus right there. This is quite a good card.

Twins:

This card is practically for come backs and is very useful when you are behind two prizes because you can just Twins up a Twins and something else and then take a prize. The next turn you can just Twins again then take another prize. It is a very good revenge card.

Cleffa and Sableye

Super Rod: 

A lot of people know what this one is for. It is practically for getting important Pokemon from the discard pile into your deck. It is better than revive because you can get multiple Pokemon into your deck though you can not put them onto your deck.

Exp. Share:

This is for preserving the little energy that this deck runs. So if you have a Terrakion pumped up with fighting energy and it gets KOed then you gan simply get all the energy back. It is quite a good card because it is the only card in my deck that is ment for preserving energy.

Rare Candy:

This is for easy evolving and getting out stage 2 Pokemon possibly on your first turn, which is quite helpful as well as useful. This card is in probably every stage 2 deck out there and in most stage one decks, this card would not be useful at all in stage 1 decks. This is a very important card in this deck.

Switch:

This is a card to help with the fact that these Pokemon's retreat cost is a little high. It is very helpful in this deck. There isn't much more to say about this card.

This Deck probably took me the longest to make so far ( besides CSRT and eventually ESRT ) but might actually be the worst original deck idea I have had yet. All aside it still is amazing and will eventually see the light of day hopefully soon. Thanks yah'l for reading this!

Thats My Deck!!
