What cards you you think are powerful and could be useful in either a competitive deck or a rouge/budget deck

I think
Shedinja – Psychic – HP40
Stage 1 – Evolves from Nincada

Weakness: none
Resistance: none

and
Ninjask – Grass – HP80

[G] Scissor Cross: 40+ damage. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 more damage.
Weakness: Fire (x2)

Retreat: 0
could be pretty good, either on their own, or paired with something like Vespiquen (both the
Vespiquen – Grass – HP120
Stage 1 – Evolves from Combee

[G] Queen Command: 120 damage. If you don’t have 5 [G] Pokemon on your Bench, this attack does nothing.

Weakness: Fire (x2)

Retreat: 2
or the bee revenge one in expanded. as well as that you could put a 2-2 line in something like zoroark to gain a prize advantage
other than that
Sableye – Psychic – HP80
Basic Pokemon
[C] Fast Haunt: The player going first can still use this attack. Search your deck for 1 card and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
[P] Cursed Drops: Put 3 damage counters on your opponent’s Pokemon in any way you like.
Weakness: none

Retreat: 1
could replace alolan vulpix in some cases.
in addition

Life Forest Prism Star – Trainer
Stadium
You can’t have more than 1 Prism Star card with the same name in your deck. If a Prism Star card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
Once during each player’s turn, that player may choose 1 of their [G] Pokemon, heal 60 damage from that Pokemon, and remove all Special Condition from that Pokemon.
As long as this Stadium is in play, whenever a player uses an Item or Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of those cards done to this Stadium.
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.
could both allow grass to play a very tanky play style.

Sorry for the bad formatting, forgot how to do this well
 
I know some people who run Gardevoir GX with Alolan Ninetales (fairy) from Fairy Rise.
It seems to run well.
 
Alolan Ninetales-GX is definitley up there for cards I would chase after once this set comes out. I can see myself running a 2-1 line using the Beacon Vulpix like usual, to help search pokemon and then use the ability of ninetales next turn (even if the first Alolan Vulpix gets knocked out there's the second one on the bench) so I can grab pretty much anything I need really. Rare Candies if I'm a stage 2 deck, Ultra Balls / Timer Balls if I need general pokemon search esspecially if I need to drop a Tapu Lele-GX to get a supporter for the turn, Field Blower to take care of annoying stadiums and tools, you name it. Bonus points if you are using a fairy deck like Gardevoir so that you can use it's attacks. For sure will improve Gardevoir decks when it comes out, esspecially with Rayquaza-GX looking like one of the future meta decks.

Giratina is quite the interesting one. Outside of Expanded use with Mega Gardevoir, just spreading damage around if you can get the ability off seems super nice to calculate damage, and it can even make for a good attacker for Malamar decks. In Standard there might not be too much about it. Definitley a good card but I think it has yet to be figured out. Cofagrigus might be pretty good with him.

Sigilyph-GX and his ability should be really good. It's possible to use this thing against Buzzwole with a Choice Band for KOs, against everything else it's nice 2HKO damage. I imagine using Zoroark with this card since it helps against Buzzwole (let's face it, Buzzwole should be played in post-rotation one way or another), and if they KO it back it KOs you. In a game where winning the prize trade means a lot in order to win, this should be really good in my eyes. The best option for your opponent if they can't ability lock is to Guzma around it and try to hit something else to not take the damage (or hit it with a GX / EX, but still). It's a pretty interesting card to me.
 
Giratina and Cofagrigus:
These two are an awesome and underated combo. Nice to see that some chase cards are in fact holo and uncommon.

Sigilyph GX:
Nice tech card in Zoroark decks and Psychic toolbox decks in general. The main selling point here is the ability which slows down Pokémon GX and its own GX attack is quite offensive.

Morty:
Great looking full art and the effect of this card seems to be underrated in the SM-on format.

Alolan Nintales GX:
Mysterious Guidance is an awesome ability that can make decks even more consistent.

Xerneas Prism Star:
Nice ability and attack on a one-prize Pokémon.

Net Ball:
Great Pokémon search card for Grass decks.

Life Forest Prism Star:
Could be a decent card in a Leafeon GX deck combined with Lurantis and Muscle Dumbbell.
