Hi there,

If there's an way I can make edits to make them 2018 ready. Please tell me.

First of all, the 2018 season rotation has been officially announced and it is BreakThrough-on sets for Standard play. So, any Primal Clash (PRC), Double Crisis (DCR), Roaring Skies (ROS) and Ancient Origins (AOR) based cards (excluding reprints in current Standard-legal sets) will need to be replaced.

Fortunately, your lists include the Pokémon set ID next to each card; so, the rotated cards can be easily identified. After identifying the cards that need to be replaced, review SM3 spoilers listed in PokéBeach (somewhere within the recent depths of this site's Home page News. There is at least one other website that lists the cards and related translation. Note: these translations may not be the "final" English descriptions, but still may be close. At this point, you can start matching up the potential replacements for the rotated cards.

Finally, consider posting each revised, updated deck list separately in the Deck Garage for others to review and provide further feedback.

Well, your Sylveon-GX deck gets off pretty much scot free. These are simply the changes required to make this deck viable post-rotation, we can talk about card choices later.

-1 Flareon
-1 Vaporeon
-2 Level Ball
-2 Lysandre
-4 VS Seeker

+2 Team Rocket's Handiwork
+1 Team Skull Grunt
+3 Plumeria
+2 Guzma
+2 Delinquent

Your two other decks will be somewhat harder to repair. I'm afraid Mega Gardevoir-EX loses pretty much all vestiges of viability with the loss of Sky Field and Mega Turbo, but it will continue being excellent in Expanded if you want to take that route.

Your first listed deck is the most interesting for me. I am a huge fan of Lurantis-GX and try to use it wherever possible. There are numerous paths you could choose to go down with this card: Decidueye-GX, Solgaleo-GX, Tapu Bulu-GX just to list a few.

I agree, I think quad sylveon is gnna benefit from the rotatiojn but I do thinhk you might want to play 9 fairy, 7 seems bit low in that you need it first turn, if 1 or 2 get prized, with 7, you might be in trouble. I personally do not play N in my deck, you should be magical ribbon-ing every turn and you want ability flare grunt or plumeria every turn. Id take out those 4 and add 2 Fairys and 2 red cards. I'd also take out escape rope and add a 2nd field blower, ppl say min 2 and potentially 3# might be required going forward but definitely you want to play 2.

How about Shiinotic?

An interesting idea, but it can't really double up as a secondary attacker (well it can, but you won't get much success.)

Definitely will see a huge drop in grass decks post-rotation, after the loss of Forest of Giant Plants. I'm no expert on Decidueye-GX decks in particular, but I believe they will disappear whereas Tapu Bulu-GX will see a lot more play because it's a basic Pokémon. That being said Lurantis/Tapu Bulu will probably be the only meta grass deck at the beginning.

Bulurantis will see an increase in play, I think. There will be some people that try to make Decidueye work with Rare Candy in the same manner as Metagross and Gardevoir, but has no one has tried it yet because FOGP has not rotated, only time will tell whether it will work or not.
