Alt. Format Rainbow Road (BKT-SHL)

I agree that Rainbow Road isnt the most consistent deck, but with Volcanion EX, it's much easier to hit the 250 number without Sky Field. Say you use Tapu Lele for Brigette. With Brigette, you grab an Xerneas, a Joltik, and a Pawniard. You bench Volcanion, and attach to your active Xerneas (1 is active and 1 is benched). Next turn, attach to Xerneas again, evolve to Bisharp and Galvantula, and that's 250 damage without Choice Band on the second turn of the game. This won't happen all the time either, but it is realistic that at some point of the game that will be your board state.

I forgot about Bridgette, but Volcanion is a nice, juicy worm for the Guzma Fish.
 
Post rotation sucks. Especially losing VS Seeker, Sky Field and Teammates. Mallow is a thought to combo with Oranguru. Especially in the late game. I 50/50 on Brooklet Hill to get your Volcanion and Marshadow, but it's useless after that and a waste of a card. I would rather have an extra Supporter or Fairy Energy than a waste of a card slot after 2 uses. 4 Max Elixirs are a must to be able to attach fairy. EXP Share keeps those fairies in play to just attach DCE and respond back. The most you are doing with a Choice band attached is 270 just enough for OHKO on everything.!!!!
