After seeing this, I actually fiddled with it and ran it with a 2-2 Shedinja line and it works incredible. Saves you during the Malamar or Baby Blace matchups and even in regular matchups denies your opponent a prize while you take 2 or 3 of theirs.

Add Lance Prism Star

You should be running Viridian Forest in this deck to search out the fighting energy. You can turn 1 Viridian or Shrine, then Green's for turn 2 for viridian or Shrine and you should be guaranteed to be set up (assuming you hit a welder on the turn you don't Green's).

I would run a full set just to up the chances of a turn 1 200. That's really the selling point of this is that it can one shot a PikaRom turn 1

Def a viable option. You should run the new tag switch as you could potentially hit for 200 on turn one if you were able to hit a welder, rainbow energy to a bench ReshiZard, then tag switch the rainbow to terrakion.

every deck loses choice band, so I mean it's all across the board

You could argue that fire maybe got "slower" due to losing search engines (but almost all decks did) but I wouldn't say weaker. ReshiZard still hits 230 turn 2 with moderate ease

The ruling for stealthy hood is preventing things done to YOUR pokemon, not vice versa, so you wont be able to attack the bench with a mew.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of multiple stage 2 lines in a deck because you need so many things to go right to set up in a day and age where basic GXs are so powerful but I see the allure of Meganium and Nidoqueens ability. I would drop the Ninetales line and try to add more consistency to...

Yeah I see where your coming from but it's a case by case basis on the the deck. Most electric decks dont need to tech against it because they run Zapdos, stall decks wont care much anyway, and if you play any variant of fire you *might* run volcanion already so while yeah it could cause a...

I think you might be getting a little too hyped on Alolan Persian too quickly. Yes it has a great ability, but most decks run cards that can take care of it, and if they dont it's easy to tech against by running a Power Plant in your deck. That being said, I can see a Persian/Malamar deck...

Using the fire engine will def get the energy on there faster ^^^^

IMO, I think he would be better off just candying from a fossil since he's going to need as much help as possible to get Tyrantum's damage up so Dojo would be more helpful.

Ah I know its frustrating to want to play your favorite pokemon so bad even if it won't be necessarily good at the moment. The thing that really hurts Tyrantum is we are about to lose the good search engine that would really help get him out fast, but I imagine if you were dead at on playing him...

I expect Zapdos and friends to see some play, possibly with adding in Alolan Raichu & Raichu GX Tag Team, as it still has a lot of decent cards to help it ReshiZard being how popular it is and still having a lot of fire tech cards will still see play. Malamar will remain popular, probably more...

Ultra Beasts will also have Ultra Space in terms of specific searching, so we could see a more popular variants of Beast Boxes. And then there is still Pokemon Fan Club to just straight up get 2 basics, so realistically searching just gets a little slower for some decks (like Zapdos, ReshiZard, etc)

Honestly I play a version of this deck that doesn't have Naganadel or Jirachi and play Nanu, Darkrai Prism and a couple copies of Darkrai GX and the deck runs so much smoother. Focus on getting Darkrai Prism out to get 2 energies right off the back, and once you get a Darkrai GX in the discard...

Running Malamar would be tight, having to set up 3 different evolution lines.

Honestly if this is being built for post rotation, you should make some room for Cherish Ball so you can search out the Dragonite GX's and cut out the water energies. All the cards (besides prism stars) that you only have 1 copy of will be horribly inconsistent and you should try to pick the...

Yeah you need Zinia for this deck. I would lose the Erika's Hospitality.
