The Diancie makes Zoroark an auto win with Marshadow GX and Chimecho (I do 60 to the poor zoruas).
The Adventure Bag essentially gives me 3 escape boards and 3 choice bands.
The attack varies by match up. Against non-gx decks you don't bench any GXs and just play it with giratina and deoxys, against Blace you want to NOT bench any marshadows (gx) and play with the necrozmas. Anything that really relies on abilities (cough cough gardi) you want chimecho/marshadow. And against basically everything else you want marsh. You really need to know your match ups with this deck but it is a blast to play and I love it so much.
 
And how has your testing been against Zoroark GX-Garbodor decks (which should be the bane of your deck)?

I auto win.

Marshadow + Chimecho in discard + Diancie PS + weakness = 60 damage and no zoroarks, lycanrocs, alolan muks, etc. for them next turn

I just have to guzma up ditto PS and sneasels (weaviles are the one counter) as they appear (they are ALSO weak to fighting)

Oh, wait, garbodor decks.

I guess not play items? I haven't tested that matchup.

If they play zoroarks, then I can easily KO them so they would have to rely on garbodor soooooooo...
I would just play it as if it was a non gx deck and go with giratina.
If they put a zoro down I can easily just play down a marsh and KO
 
Should I be worried about zapdos?

I'm thinking if about teching in 1-2 metal energies and a Ultra Necrozma for the GX attack.
60 + 10 from giratina to KO the Jirachi

What is the plural of Jirachi?
Jirachis
Jirachies
Jirach-I

As stated by the anime, the plural of a Pokémon is always just the Pokémon. “Look at all those Goomy!”
As stated by everyone else, never trust the anime. “Trust no one, not even Ash Ketchum with a shady group of Gym Leader followers.”

I'll agree to disagree that it would be an "auto win". A good "chess" match though since both decks have counters to each other's main attackers.

Now I have ultra necrozma's gx attack as a win condition.
 
I WON A TOURNAMENT!!!!! 4-0-0
Swiss, best-of-3, 4 rounds
My matchups:
round 1: Zoro WW
chimecho/diancie is SO good
round 2: baby charizard WW
Game 1: I started with tina but came back after he ran out of zards. Game 2: He started with a charmander, I started with chimecho, he got nothing turn 1 and I belled and then used lele for the (sorta) donk turn 2.
round 3: Lost March WW
Ultra Necrozma's GX attack made him sad
round 4: Pikarom LWW
G1: Bricked. G2: pikarom is weak to fighting and Marshadow GX is fighting. I got set up and won. G3: I bricked again, less hard (...), but was able to come back by KOing a Koko GX with Dawn Wings' GX attack and follow it up with a guzma KO for game.

Better than I could do! Congrats!
(If you brick, you need Pokémon draw support, as a rule of thumb. I use Magcargo.)

No, that deck is consistent if I play it right and I don't get screwy draws.
I usually get a crappy draw or two where I can't do much every time I play this deck, but it has so many outs that I can usually get out of it.
Heck, I had won 6 games in a row without bricking.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY MY FIRST (REAL) TOURNAMENT WIN
(one time I went to a new league and there was a tournament. I got my deck out and the 1st round started. Right before we flipped, I asked, "this is standard, right." It wasn't. A guy lent me BuzzRoc (this was when it was good) and then I won the tournament with it, beating the guy with his own deck)
I even got a JIRACHI and a KOKO prism from my packs
 
I swapped the acro bikes for a ditto PS and a zebstrika.
Traded consistency for more consistency.
I haven't really tested it yet, though.
