I’ve been messing around with decklists, and discovered some unconventional cards could do good. Giratina is really good against Greninja because lowering their damage output to 40 damage a turn really swings the matchup in your favor. Dhelmise lets Metagross 0HKO some pesky Pokémon like Buzzwole or the occasional Golisopod (not GX). Max Potion is the star of the deck, so i put the full four in. Finally, Mimikyu lets the deck win against fire-type decks, by copying Phoenix Burn, Bright Flane, or any other attack that could help. However, I have found some inconsistency issues in the opening few turns. Is there anything I can do to improve my deck (no Tapu Lele)?
