I'll start working on a Leafeon GX deck (this means I call it ;)!) while I've got the time (and a few other ULP decks while I'm at it), I'll post them here when they're done and I've tested them a bit. Wish me luck!

I don't, but maybe @AFEX does.

Uhhh, anything that's not Sylveon because we already have 2 of those.
Uh how bout Garchomp from ULP, I've got a bit of an idea

4x Gible
2x Gabite
1x Garchomp (BKP)
2x Garchomp (ULP/Fighting)
1x Garchomp (ULP/Dragon)
2x Riolu
2x Lucario (ULP)


I think think the split Garchomp lines could give for some interesting match-ups.
BKP-Chomp for Strong Energy Accel
ULP Fighting Chomp for Garde match-ups.
ULP Dragon Chomp for non Garde match-ups.

Just an idea, for whoever wants to fight over it ;)

If you don't know already, Alolan Dugtrio is a 60 HP Stage 1 Steel-type Pokemon. It has one attack that can deal major damage : Gold Rush. It reads "Discard as many Basic Metal Energy from your hand. This attack does 30 damage for each Energy discarded in that way." Pair it with Starmie from Evolutions and Mt Coronet, you could be dealing hundreds of damage every turn.

Swap to the Fighting Gible, lose a Rescue Stretcher for a Pal Pad, then lose 2 Ns, a Field Blower, and Counter Catcher for 4 Brooklet Hill. That way you can search out your Basics much easier.

I feel like 1 pal pad is enough because you only need to hit for 3 Cynthia boosted attacks to win, as the damage for its attack without Cynthia is still 100, which can 1 shot most non EX/GX attackers, such as mini zoroark, I actually feel that a regirock ex could be helpful to hit for 130 with a strong energy against the volcanion matchup, which will likely become more important with the amount of metal decks coming. Also, why pokemon fan club?

1 Darkrai Prism Star ULP
1 Yveltal EX PROMO

2 Energy Retrieval

Energy: 12
12 Dark Energy

Extra Slots: 2

When using Darkrai BKP’s attack, you want to get as many dark energy on the field at one time. You do this with a combination of darkrai BUS which allows you to, when it is in the discard, put it onto your bench with a dark energy attached, max elixir, and Darkrai Prism Star, which states that when you play it from your hand, you may attach 2 dark energy from your hand to it. Ninja boy allows you to re-use darkrai prism star’s ability, and switch into other pokemon.

Mewtwo EVO is in there for the buzzwole and Garde matchups, Yveltal as well.
There are two extra slots, for energy or anything else.
