"The new and improved ToadPuff"- A look at a wacky SeismitoadEX/Slurpuff deck!

     Hello fellow Pokémon players! Evan here and today I'm going to talk about a cool SeismitoadEX/Slurpuff deck that I made up.

My Thoughts on the Deck

 
                                                    The source of ultimate draw power.

     I think the deck could be viable and popular because:

1.It is a very consistent deck.

2.It is very disruptive.

3.It is not hard to play.

    With those factors in play, this deck is widely played and can have a variety of tech supporters, heck, look at two VERY different ToadPuff lists: http://sixprizes.com/2015/04/20/tastes-good-top-4-oregon-states-report-with-seismitoad-slurpuff/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt5G7hH6J2o just as an example.

     The deck also has solid match-ups against the entire board with a few 40-60 match-ups (Primal Groudon and VirGen are auto-losses though.). So this deck should be able to have a place in the current meta.

     Overall, this deck is completely viable and a good play for most tournaments.

My (VERY UNUSUAL VERSION) Deck




                                                      Makes the deck really weird.

     My version of the deck has 4 Random Receiver to maximize my chances of getting a Professor Sycamore. It also has a heavy Roller Skates and Acro Bike count to make even faster. Here's the list:


Pokémon-10

3 SeismitoadEX FFI 20


3 Swirlix PHF 68


3 Slurpuff PHF 69


1 JirachiEX PLB 60


Trainers-47


4 Professor Sycamore


1 Lysandre's Trump Card


4 VS Seeker


4 Random Receiver


4 Acro Bike


4 Roller Skates 


4 Hypnotoxic Laser


4 Ultra Ball


4 Crushing Hammer


3 Muscle Band


3 Head Ringer


2 Float Stone


1 Enhanced Hammer


1 Town Map


1 Computer Search


3 Virbank City Gym


Energy-3


3 Double Colorless


     How I thought of this deck was by looking at a SeismitoadEX/Jynx deck and wondered "If that deck is consistent, why not try it with EVEN MORE draw power with Slurpuff?" So I tested and tested, and I got this. Although the 3 Double Colorless looks bad, you really only need 2 per game, and with Town Map and Lysandre's Trump Card, that makes it even easier to get one.

     Thanks for reading!
