Maybe Decidueye GX could feed in on the RC action that Metagross GX uses in its deck. Do you think it'll make the cut (assuming Garb wasn't a problem)?
Help Decidueye Comeback With Rare Candy?

I'm interested in this topic as well, hopefully its work after FOGP rotated, anyone tested?
I will test it on ptcgo and make thread about it. Thanks for mentioning!
I think it will depend on what it's paired with. The Alolan Ninetales deck basically just trades 4 FoGP for 4 RC and loses a bit of speed. Other pairings that i think would work are Espeon GX, Noivern GX, even Drampa GX. Those will have the highest chance to succeed. And with Po Town coming out, it does have a good stadium to fall back on.
Any luck man? I've been trying it out to it seems solid
Well right now it's getting hammered by Garb decks, but later I'll give you an overall assessment.
How are you testing BTW? Are you testing against post-rotation decks?
I think garb will be the only issue because have to rely on rare candy and trainer mail to maximize the efficiency. Do you mind share us your list ?
I do think they survive. AL Tales is already a good partner, next rotation with more and more frail basics + Wally still in rotation (Remember Generations), the deck will survive.
There will be no Trainers' Mail next rotation.
There will be no Trainers' Mail next rotation.
T-mail is getting reprinted in the Kyurem Trainer's Decks i believe.
Nah, it's gonna be on the new style of Alternate Print. Trainers' Mail will retain its ROS set-symbol with a hugeass A, meaning that it won't survive rotation.

I see. Eh, that's fine, T-Mobile won't be played even if it was reprinted. Too many decks streamline their trainer line so they don't have to worry about garb, meaning T-Mail gets cut.
If without trainer mail, then I think decidueye will be quite hard to survive
But why though? Metagross and Solgaleo don't use T-Mail? And those two survive the rotation. Owl with Ninetales is going to be the best way to play him, and you won't need T-Mail for that deck.
I am testing with versus battles so you never know what I will be paired up against. I will eventually give you the entire deck but the line of Pokémon I'm running right now is as follows:
4X Decidueye GX
3X Dartrix
4X Rowlet
2X Alolan Vulpix
2X Tapu Lele GX
1X Tauros GX
1X Mewtwo (XY Evolutions)
1X Oranguru
You can still Lele/ Skyla dig for RC though? Assuming BKP doesn't go.
That's not what i asked. I asked what format are you testing in. If you're testing on PTCGO, then your results are useless. You can't test two different formats and expect the results to carry over. The only way to accurately test a new format is to proxy. I don't believe pokemon has a dueling network clone where it gives you cards that aren't released, so any online testing doesn't matter.
I know, I'm testing only with cards that I know will survive the format change. (My supporters are Ilima, Kukui, Misty, Lillie, and a Hau or two).
No, the decks you're playing against. That's what I want to know. Are the decks your playing against post rotation?
