Pokeballing The Meta: VvV(Vanilluxe/Victini/Vileplume)

Today I am gonna look at one of the more interesting and fun looking decks and one that i am going to be testing very soon, VvV. this deck is a solid deck choice because quite simply you can lock your opponent down so fast with the combination of Vanilluxe and Vileplume. this is just a sample deck list I made myself with the cards i have.

Pokemon 17
3 Victini (2 Ability, 1 V-Create)
3 Vanillite
2 Vanillish
3 Vanilluxe
2 Oddish
2 Gloom
1 Vileplume
1 Cleffa

Supporter 14
4 N
3 Sages Training
3 Pokemon Collector
3 Seeker
1 Professor Oak's New Theory

Trainers 15
3 Rare Candy
3 Pokemon Communication
3 Junk Arm
2 Pokegear 3.0
2 Pokemon Catcher
2 Super Rod

Energy 14
11 Water
3 Fire

Pokemon
This is the basic pokemon list (minus 1 Vileplume since i only own 1). Vanilluxe when paired up with Vileplume can easily lock your opponent out of  attacking using Double Freeze to paralyze them and do 40-80 damage, while Vileplume locks them from playing Switch or Super Scoop Up to remove thier paralyzed Pokemon from the active slot. Victini and its Ability Victory Star are in the deck cause it gives you a second chance should the possibile two tails happen. Now I have included 1 V-Create Victini in this deck for your Cobalion/Scizor Prime/Steelix Prime or any other random Steel deck that will stand in your way as Vanilluxe will die horribly to them. and Cleffa supplys support for bad hands and to send up after something dies to give you more options.

Trainers
Again in Pokemon the Trainer/Supporter/Stadium line is almost always the same for every deck out there, it is important to note that for a deck running Vileplume i am running more trainers then i really should be, However i am only running one Vileplume right now so there shouldnt be to much interference there right now.

Energy
the Energy line here is pretty basic, 11 Water is probably to much , but i have yet to playtest this really so we will see. The 3 Fire Energy provide consistency with your V-Create Victini, which in turn provides you with more of a chance against decks like 6 Corners, CaKE, and Chandelure/Vileplume variants that run Cobalion.

Overview
This deck has the potential to be a strong contender with several good matchups in the current meta, being able to set up both a trainer lock and an attack lock to keep your opponents options limited. With the hyped return of Pokemon EX, this deck could find itself thrust into the spotlight as a deck that can completely counter the meta should it be taken over by The EX Pokemon.


As always this is just my opinion and is by no means how everyone should run this deck if you have ideas or aruments please feel free to comment. Later
