Hello, I saw this interesting card when browsing the new set
Edit: Adding another New card that needs a translation in the Tapu Koko card that was suggested in the comments thanks so much for your feed back.
It's the new Honchkrow Card with the very interesting attack "Raven Claw" it translates to: [C] [C] Raven Claw 10+ "This attack does 10 more damage for each damage counter on all of your opponent's Pokémon." and the Tapu Koko Card which has the attack Sprial Dive [C] [C] This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Which is much faster and far more efficient than Noivern plus will be in standard soon, so I'm Switching Noivern for Tapu Koko even though Koko doesn't do as much damage and doesn't have a stall ability.
Raven Claw is a very fun attack, that can hit for high numbers with the right set up, it obviously won't be winning major tournaments but for my use of a casual game with friends I think it would be a good and very fun deck to run.
I originally tried to run this in standard with Yveltal BREAK, but ultimately decided thatNoivern from furious fists was the faster option in terms of set up mostly because Double Dragon energy (not to mention I've wanted to run that Noivern for almost a year now) So I built the deck to be "As Standard As Possible" while being in expanded and my friends that I would play this deck with would be fine with. So that's why it is basically standard.
It's a budget deck so Oranguru > Shaymin EX even though I think Shaymin would work better.
I played with potentially running a 1-1 line of Ninetails from Primal Clash to keep Team Magma's Secret Base in play but ultimately decided against it, I added the Ninetails Since Tapu Koko frees up Space I also considered a 2-2 line of Octillary over Oranguru but decided it was too slow and clunky
Edit: I would have loved to run Noivern BREAK, however it's not terribly important in the deck as it provides no real immediate benefits to Honchkrow and therefore i decided to cut the BREAK. Irrelevant because Noivern is now Tapu Koko
Ultimately I think there are ways that this deck could be improved I probably have too many of certain cards or not enough of others, and probably some cards that I don't know that exist that might be helpful. Any Help is always appreciated and thanks in advance.
