Not sure what to think of this thing but its not bad. You basically suvive until you can turbo your Mega Scizor with Mantyke and use Ribombee for heals (not that good but can pop off sometimes) Loses hard to Zard Y I took out Professors Research and it's working way better than it should? Won most of my games except for one where my last card was Scyther. Fought threw Oricorio, Hydreigon, and many Greninja/Suicune. I beat the one zard deck i played but it was the Fuecoco variant (less good imo)
