My list is similar to that as well. I would recommend something like Escape Rope over float stone though because of Field Blower. Just has seemed more reliable in my testing and disrupts your opponent a bit.

How much are you using Ranger? I've tried to tech it into several decks but ultimately found it wasnt used often enough to deserve the space. Would not recommend dropping any spirit links either because you can't afford to not have it when you need it. Dont drop them early either so they don't...

I'm planning to switch to run 1 Shaymin and 2 Lele as soon as I can pick up a second one. I'm still running 3 Max Potion also, but I'll probably swap those for Acerola once we get that to recycle the ability on top of heal. I also thought of the non-GX Koko but I'm actually not a huge fan of it...

So it's like a Puzzle of Trainers Mail. Look at 4, don't get to keep one, or just shuffle. It's like taking the worst part of both cards and hoping that mashing them into one makes it better. (It doesn't, by the way)

I'm betting DDE get a reprint then. Almost has to in order to keep Dragon type somewhat competetive. Without it they're done for with all the weird attachk costs. I could totally see this with BKP Garb and Hammers. Item-lock, ability-lock, and energy denial sprinkled on top. Yikes.

I really want this to be a good deck, but I just haven't been able to get it there. So far I've pulled out Metang altogether and go for RC only. No Shaymin, 2 Lele. Carbink over Cobalion because Hammers/Flare Grunt (Not detrimental with Metagross putting it back, but could be getting extra...

I doubt they live past the SM era, but I do hope that if we get another remake 3DS game that it doesn't drown them out early. As a nechanic they really aren't any different from any other Pokemon, unlike the ancient traits. They just have a different name and the basics have been getting free...

I believe it's pretty likely that we'll see all the Alolan variants get GX's at some point in the SM card era.

Duh, not sure how I screwed that up. Think I was confusing myself thinking about that in tandem with Vulpix's attack that grabs any pokemon. If this goes with an Octillery line then I definitely agree Brigette is the way to go. I find myself liking Shaymin less and less as the format changes...

I'm thinking of testing this with Wish Baton, or maybe even a couple Exp Share's until that gets released. Losing an attacker with all the energy has really ground this deck to a halt a couple times after making a good push early game. You can recover from it but taking even 1 extra turn without...

I agree with your thought on cutting Regice for the Tapu Koko promo. I think the situational use of Regice wouldn't be as significant as the benefit of Koko hitting everything. More and more decks are popping up now that are using GX's over EX's anyway. I like Glaceon in the deck for the same...

I don't think the OP was so much looking for a debate on the current Meta, as trying to get some tips as a new deck builder. The Top-Tier decks from Roanoke don't matter nearly as much for someone that's yet to even compete in a League Cup. Those decks are definitely things to consider if you...

Good call, I totally overlooked that. That makes it much more appealing to me actually since there's a good amount of Lapras & Water-Box decks around.

I'll definitely give you that hitting 180 could be quite good. My hesitation with that is still that they're only worth it together, and Choice Band is a dead card against stuff like Garb, or any other non-EX/GX. FFB on the other hand nets you 210HP regardless of what you're facing and doesn't...

While I don't have any suggestions for the deck at the moment, I couldn't help but think that this deck should be absolutely be named Super Creepers (for you Minecraft fans) since they are electrified Creepers. Cheers!
