I love Klinklang!

Really, I just love jamming up ex pokemon. I would 0-X a hundred tournaments before playing a mouth breathing knuckle dragger like Yveltal EX!!!!

Principles aside, this deck is probably pretty bad. Huge pokemon roster to accommodate tanking damage with a stage 1 whose attacks are ludicrously expensive.

I wouldn't write it off completely though. With a deoxys and silver bangle, Steelix will hit Pokemon EX for 90 using Metal Defender. This is good to 1hko Xerneas EX. Put a second Deoxys in play and Metal Defender 1HKOs all fairy type pokemon, and other Klinklang irritants like Kyurem PLF.

In all honesty, Metal Defender is a pretty solid attack. SCC is expensive for 50 damage, but avoiding fire weakness without relying on a stadium (or Leavanny! Don't forget about Leavanny!) is a nice effect. Combine that with Plasma Steel and Steelix 150HP, and the only 1HKOs you are vulnerable to are G Booster, a Delphox with 5+ fire energy, a musclebanded Hydreigon LTR, Samurott LTR with 8+ water energy, Blastoise with 9+ water energy... And Charizard BCR???

I thought about using Thundurus EX in here to accelerate energy some and help the deck recover after a KO, but it cluttered up the energy line too much.

Scramble Switch would make things more fun, but grabbing an extra bangle, switch, max potion, etc. Is just too valuable. If I ever play test this though, the first thing I will investigate is dropping Cassius for a Super Rod.

See! I do care about these being playable!
