Why this low rating? With Sudden Delete, you can send 1 of your opponents benched pokemon to their hand, so all energy cards attached to it have to be attached again, which takes a few turns. With Time Control, you can put 2 cards at the prize cards so they have to beat Palkia and Dialga or 2 random pokemon to take the prize cards and then it’s like they didn’t get any prize cards for beating this pokemon because they still have the same amount of prize cards as before you did this attack. If you do this 3 times when the opponent has 1 prize card left, they have to beat 6 pokemon to win instead of 1.

PDL gets one-show WAY too often for it to work. Not to mention it gives up two prizes.

I wish they had a attack with damage. But putting extra prizes for the opponent is pretty awesome too.

My favorite Vileplume counter, and also used to be a fun mill deck with Heatran X or Lightning Magnezone SF.
Also, did someone ever have the genius idea to make a Lightning Magnezone SF deck with Magnezone Prime? I remember Magnebox, but what if you cut the Lv. X and Metal one to focus on Lost Burn?

I was thinking that I want to make a for-fun deck with a pair of these, all Modified (HGSS-on).
Seems like Klinklang is a perfect match, plus I think Shaymin EX for late-game cleanup could be a bunch of fun!
Energy balance seems odd, as Prism cannot be used for LEGEND. I would need a system to recover Metal Energy. Once PDL goes Active, I would want to keep it there for a few turns before it gets KO’d. If I could add 4-6 prize cards to the opponent, then I would win that prize card exchange. Shaymin EX counts the number of prize cards “taken” and will then revenge kill for 90+ from the get-go. :)
Besides energy, I need to think of a functioning Trainer engine that searches out the LEGEND pieces. 4-4-4 PONT-N-Random Receiver could work here for hitting key cards.
What Stadium could help? I was thinking perhaps Ruins of Alph to save myself from big Electric hits, or Indigo Plateau for +30HP?
Any ideas? I’m so curious! :P

Ruins of Alph is -Resistance, not -Weakness.
Your best bet is probably Electrode.

haha. Yeah I realized this once I dug the card outta my overflow binder. :/
Also, you speak of Electrode Prime? I’ve never used the card. Luckily, the prices on Primes should drop after the rotation. :)

How badly I wanted to make this card to work
