This deck uses Greninja & Zoroark's GX attack to get Incinerorar GX from the discard pile out to use its ability that puts 3 damage counters on its self to get 3 dark energy from the deck and then attaches it to its self. I decided to use Alolan Muk from Team Up to slow down other decks that use a lot of items. This will help slow down decks like PikaRom after rotation. Darkrai Prism helps get more energy on the field to power Greninja & Zoroark-GX's primary attack. Dedenne-GX helps discard Incineroar GX and help you get a new hand. Ditto Prism to essentially eveole into anything. Incineroar from Unbroken Bonds to help boost damage to your opponents Pokemon.

I would probably play 13 energy but I would have to cut out some cards that really help the deck in the long run.

Lillie and Cynthia to help with draw power and Tate&Liza to use as a Switch just in case and to use as a draw card. Professor Kukui to help make sure to hit certain numbers. Guzma to guarantee K-Os.I also would play Wishful Baton to keep energy in play. Staples like Nest Ball and Ultra Ball etc. are straight forward. 1 Card that really makes the deck good in my opinion is Black Market Prism which reduces Prize Card form K-Os by one. Also Altar of the Moone for free retreat(might as well cut the Tate&Liza then)

I'm not sure that this is the right thread to go over your deck specifically, but as a fan of dark type pokemon myself, it's a bit disappointing they don't get nearly as much support as other pokemon types now. I hope that will change.
