How do yo guys feel about focus sash in place of fighting fury belt? Forcing them to hit a 30hp joltik twice sounds nice to me.

How would you guys feel about pulling the shaymins, adding garbodor, since you're running a fair amount of tools already, and using more item based draw?

I don't know if weavile eggs is still a thing in expanded, but it makes me wonder if switching this out for electrode would be a nice way to improve that deck?

Octillery has a place most certainly, but why not use it as a nice moderate little thing to sit on your bench and scoot you through, whether there is a shaymin or not. The way I see it, any deck with dive ball could benefit from this greatly.

I think this could be a nice thing to tech into M-Manectric decks to hit big numbers on occasion. Also, in expanded why not just Camerupt Embroar. Sure its one more energy to attack, but the extra HP could be worth it.

Also, float stone is back with xy8

Hey guys, I was just, as usual, thinking about a cool way to use dragonite, because I really want to make it work, and I was thinking about expanded these days and was thinking about combining scoop ups, virizion ex, ampharos ex, and dragonite ex. Any thoughts on that? Any general thoughts on...

If I were to play this deck in expanded, I would consider running a garbodor, but if not, could a suicune instead or regice be a good idea? Thoughts?

I kind of think dragonite ex is a better version than those, but I wasn't playing then. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong.

I'd like to see max potion again. I want more aromatisse, and I think it's a card that turns games around in a strategic and healthy way.

Additionally, does anybody see any neat and easy vespiqueen/grass counters? 11 spots is enough to do a lot with.

I was thinking about using some free slots for an Ancient Origins Vaporeon. Are megas considered stage 1's?

I think you could get away without grass energy, seeing as you only need colorless to attack. Perhaps you could splash in a fire type and run fire energies instead. If this is expanded perhaps a victini ex, but there are lots of other easy to set up fire types you could splash in there.

I'm thinking in terms of aromatisse/gardevoir. Is there a good way to retrieve energies now that LTC is gone?

Does that cancel altaria's ability?
