This is a list I've been having fun with. It does decent against most decks I've played except for Garbodor (due to ability lock)
Any ideas on how to modify it I want to keep playing this deck post rotation since Garb will rotate out.
Also what's the best way to squeeze a 2-2 Zoroark-GX line in here?

Some of your card choices are being rotated out as the rotation will be SM+. So the cards you will lose for this deck are:
  • Special Charge 1
  • Float Stone 3
  • Brigette 1
  • Reverse Valley 2
  • Professor Sycamore 3
  • N 3
  • Super Rod 1
Total cards lost from rotation change is 14 cards from your list.

IMO:

Take out:
- 2 Reverse Valley
- 2 Hoopa (If you don't mind loosing your wall strategy)
- 1 Special Charge
- 1 Brigette
- 1 Super Rod
- 1 Tapu Koko
- 3 Float Stone
- 3 Professor Sycamore
- 3 N
(17 cards)

Add:
+ 3 Altar of Moone
  • You get free retreats on Umbreon GX, Hoopa, and Zoro line.
+ 1 Cynthia
+ 2 Professor Kukui
+ 4 Sophocles ***(Optional)***
  • Losing 6 draw supporters hurts, so you need draw power now lol. I have been using Sophocles quite some lately and I treat it as an ultra ball for the next 4 cards. If you like that idea, go ahead and run with it, otherwise find something else you like.
+ 3 Zorua
+ 2 Zoroark GX
  • This should be what you were looking to add in. Draw power for your deck that is needed and a strong attacker besides Umbreon GX. I personally would make it a 4- 3 line, but you said this was for fun so go at your own pace.
+ 2 Yveltal (SLG)
  • It has strafe just like Umbreon GX for a DCE instead of one energy (2 energy vs 1 energy) and it's a basic attacker. Yveltal's second attack puts a dark energy from discard pile on a benched pokemon for 3 energies (1 dark + 1 DCE).

With this updated list it seems like Zoroark is more of my reliable attacker correct? I really do love the suggestions by the way thank you.
I had no idea Yveltal had a newer card lol.
