Pokémon: 17
The strategy is to get Parasect in the active to use its Colorful Spores attack to fuel Ho-Oh's attack/ability. This can be combined with Golduck BREAK to move energy to a single Ho-Oh EX for effective energy acceleration/healing (similar to how a fairy deck with Xerneas/Aromatisse would work), allowing you to attack with Ho-Oh after only using Colorful Spores once.

Manaphy EX is used in combination with Golduck to give everything free retreat, which is useful for Parasect and especially Ho-Oh, since it gives the Ho-Oh time to heal on the bench with its ability. Pokemon Fan Club is used to get Ho-Ohs on the bench to receive energy from Colorful Spores, and Wally can get a Parasect up turn 1 if you go second, as well as helping with the Golduck line.
I decided to use Sky Field as the stadium after finding I ran out of bench space a lot. Xerosic is to help against the Garbodor matchup.
Obvious problems are the deck is pretty slow and its hard to get everything going. I've also had multiple games where I discarded some energy at first with Sycamore/Ultra Ball to get Parasect going with stuff on the bench, only to find that I ran out of a specific energy card since some would be prized, which gets quite annoying since its almost an auto loss. It also seems slightly vulnerable to bench damage - I've been playing against Trevenant BREAK online quite a lot, and while Ho-Oh can basically heal back any damage dealt to it, I usually still lose since my Shaymins/Manaphy go down before I get to set up.
Some help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
