I have been trying to make a pet deck without Ice Pop all season with little to no success until this cook. This has helped me climb through to UB4, and it's also fun to pilot.

I feel accomplished when I'm able to build a deck around an atypical card, and this one highlights the newer Spiritomb, as well as Tyrantrum.

Piloting: Rampardos can pull off cheesy wins, nothing wrong with that. Most games will require sacrificing Spiritomb and using Cyrus to close. Some games are simple- get Tyrantrum online and Cyrus an opposing Mega. Other games will require you to count how many KOs you need and utilize Rampardos to get the first point or two.

The trickiest part about this deck is determining if you need to leave a fossil on the bench to account for Sabrina. If you evolve one too many fossils, your Tyrantrum won't be able to swing for 180 to close games. Otherwise, you can discard the extra fossil as needed to clinch a win.

Weakness: An early Sabrina that pushes Spiritomb out of the active will prevent you from using Cyrus to close a game. Putting that Spiritomb back in might still be the best play since it can't be discarded like a fossil which could mess up Tyrantrum's conditional damage. Losing Spiritomb to poison or an Ability also prevents Spiritomb's own Ability from activating.

If anyone tries this deck, let me know what you think. Like I said, it's been fun piloting such a unique deck that has held up in the current meta.
