Hi everyone. I have been playing competitively for about 4 months now and I am trying to pick a deck for the international coming up. I started out playing Goli/Garb and had some decent league challenge success with it getting a few top 8s with it. I switched to Zoroark/Golisopod when it came out and have struggled with it. I think it is a little complicated for me as I’m still inexperienced. I have decided I really want to play Garb at the tournament as I enjoy that style of play. I am testing buzz/Garb below and still trying to work it out. If I can’t get it how I like I will switch to the Memphis final goli Garb list as I am familiar with it.

Below is my buzz Garb list, but it just really struggles with draw support especially late game which I know is a common problem witch Garb decks.

Let me know what you think or if there is an architype I should play which might be a little friendlier to play which will allow me to have fun at the tournament.

Wow nice list.

the only thing I would change would be:

-1 Fighting fury belt
+1 rescue stretcher

This is not needed but I personally think that it is just to easy to prize your 1 stretcher or discard it early game, so I always play 2 in my decks. And you don't really need 4 FFBs three is all you need.

Hope I helped.
 
I really like your list! I came up and played with a Buzzwole/Garbodor deck online and went on a 20-game win streak. My list is a bit different though.

I remember trying the Trashalanche Garbodor and feeling like it made the deck clunky. I played this list over a month ago so I'd probably make some changes to it, but it was really strong when I did play it. I do like your list more. As far as changes, I would try and fit in a Special Charge since you mainly play Special Energy. I would also consider switching the FFB for Choice Band, only because you play Trashalanche and Garbodor can't use FFB.

OI! This list is really good. Like, REALLY good. I agree with Bergonzilla to ditch the Lillie for a Parallel City, unless you'd rather drop Brigette.
Parallel City is really good when you don't have to play Po Town (looking at you, Drampa/Garb). Because you're not opting for Regirock, I agree with play Fury Belt over Band. Only change I'd make other than adding a Parallel City is a Watch and Learn Sudowoodo. It can copy big attacks and take a sudden knockout out of nowhere, while yielding 1 prize. You might also wanna drop a Rainbow for a 4th Fighting due to Enhanced Hammer's popularity at the moment.
