*I started 3-0 with the Spiritomb build. As soon as I switched to a more traditional Hide n Sneak list I ran into Festival Lead and Kangaskhan healing. Festival Lead is a horrible match-up for Dhelmise, even if you have Flutter Mane to shut off their ability to attack twice per turn. But against Kangaskhan (and many other Mega decks), Spiritomb is invaluable.

**Bottom line: Spiritomb build is better than boring Dudunsparce, while the Froslass build I cooked up allows you to win against Festival Lead. Unless PTCGL screws you over with prizes. Also, I was punished multiple times for not running Shaymin.
