The story of how I ripped off CMT…Anyway, finishing up the top tier decks is EMT. Like most decks, you need a T1 Call for Family. Usually, you will get two Piplups with that because you want to get out a lot of Empoleons as fast aspossible. Since Empoleon’s ability lets you discard a card from your hand and draw two, you run less Juniper than normal because you are already burning enough resources.
This deck is focused on straightdraw which is heavily supported by Empoleon’s ability and the four Cherens. You will probably get an Empoleon out by T2 and you want to fill up your bench and start digging through your deck. The wholegame will probably just be: Getting out Empoleons, digging through your deck with massive straight draw, getting the necessary Catchers, Switch, etc., monotonously using Attack Command over and over,and preventing from decking out with 4 N, 4 Pokemon Communication, and Super Rod.

Virizion NVI can be used as an additional opener and is an out to bad starts. I also find it handy when youropponent has a slow start or a slow deck for a methodical approach by using Double Draw until you are completely set up. Terrakion NVI is your secondary attacker and your counter to Lightning, whichunfortunately Empoleon is weak to.
Finally, we have Mew EX. This is an attacker that can be played and charged out of nowhere thanks to Empoleon’s Attack Command only costing W. Mew is mainly used as aMewtwo EX counter since it is better utilized by this deck than Mewtwo itself would be.
The counts of the I/S/S should be fairly standard here except the odd Level Ball. I found that is useful for...
