GLC Deck - Pika-Papow!

I was shocked to learn for some Pokemon you can play "multiple" copies of them in GLC thanks to their slightly different names? With the help of deckbuilders TheElvenEspio and Jaboingus, we identified Castform, Kyurem, Mightyena (Team Aqua and Magma!), and the Shining Pokemon. More "recently", Trainer's Pokemon like the Hop's line came out too. But what's this?
NINE PIKACHU, TWELVE POKEMON OF THE SAME LINE, ALL LEGAL IN GLC?
Yes.
Should you play them?
No.

Still, I had to know--just how bad would such a deck be.
Terrible. The worst. Despite this, we tried to extract the best from a terrible idea. Proxy the deck and dispose of it afterward--I regret only following part one of my own advice.

While blasphemous, I've included Pokemon outside the Pikachu line. Pikachu isn't the toughest, nor the strongest, nor even the fastest. Pikachu is the best thanks to its friends...or something. It's time Pikachu and Pals reached their full potential. Get ready for Pika-Papow!
