Hello all! The new Electrode GX has me inspired, and I feel it has some great synergy with the Ultra Beasts. (Especially considering Beast Ring) So, I threw this list together. Not going to lie, I haven't been able to set any matches to test it out personally, but I would still like some criticism on card choices. This is intended to be for the upcoming rotation.
-Pokemon
2-2 Electrode GX (CES)
2 Oranguru (SUM)
2 Minior (GRI)
1 Dhelmise (GRI)
2 Buzzwole (FLI)
3 Celesteela (CES)
1 Pheromosa (FLI)
-Supporters
3 Ilima
2 Judge
2 Sophocles
2 Tate & Liza
1 Guzma
1 Gladion
-Trainers/Stadium
4 Ultra Ball
3 Acro Bike
3 Order Pad
3 Choice Band
2 Rescue Stretcher
2 Beast Ring
2 Shrine of Punishment (Also considering Po Town)
-Energy
4 Fighting
2 Metal
4 Counter Energy
4 Rainbow Energy
1 Beast Energy
The intent of the deck is to use Electrode GX's ability to quickly set up Celesteela's powerful Moon Raker attack. Because Electrode is a GX pokemon it is worth 2 prize cards, this not only sets up perfectly for Beast Ring it also puts Buzzwole's Sledgehammer attack in the range it needs to hit harder Counter Energy also synergizes very well with Electrode GX, if you manage to Extra Energy Bomb early to set up. An important note is that Extra Energy Bomb says energy cards, not basic energy, allowing you to subvert the damage from Rainbow Energy.
Any help with the list is greatly appreciated.
