Standard Post Rotation: [Rapid Strike Dojo] Blaziken / Zeraora / Rayquaza / Urshifu

Hello,

With rotation taking out many useful cards out of the Standard format, this deck (Rapid Strike Dojo) is back in it's infancy. My original goal was to have a deck that combined both Blaziken VMAX and Rayquaza VMAX. Hopefully, PokeBeach will post updated guides soon that will streamline the individual decks. Until then, this is an experimental deck, and suggestions are welcome.

Notes:
Bench management is important. I usually go for first turn.

Again, rushing Octillery is key. This will allow you to bring your in your Main Hitters, Energies, Korrina, and Tower of Waters. From here, build up your Blaziken VMAX and 1 or 2 Rayquaza's/Zeraora's (Situational to what deck you are up against/luck of your draws).

Edit: Trying out the use of Boltund.
Post-Addition Thoughts: Boltund introduces another Non-Rapid Strike element to the deck. It seems to have shifted the weight a little more towards Rayquaza because of Boltund's Energy move. Need to decide on whether its better to keep 3 Blaziken's or exchange one for an additional Rayquaza V.


PPS: Slimmed down on the Energy's. Also trying out Boost Shake again.
Latest (09/17) - Removing Boltund - a non-Rapid Strike that, with the slimming of energies, disrupts the flow. I've also added a Marshadow.

Potential Mach5 Update:
- Added 2 Rapid Strike Urshifu V/VMAX each into the mix. It's a mad house party of Rapid Strike.
- Urshifu's attack can be recharged by Blaziken. And Urshifu V's basic attack allows you to move around as well/move to the bench to proc the VMAX attack.
- Not sure what the potential final lineup will be; will probably need to reduce one of the V/VMAX pairs down to 1 each and add additional V's to the other 2
- Definitely needs more testing, but in order to make room, I removed 1 Blaziken V, 1 Remoraid, 1 Marshadow, and 2 Lightning Energy. Add 1 Rapid Strike Energy
- Yes, it can be chaotic because of all the moving parts. However, it can also be so much fun and your opponent gets a taste of everyone in the Dojo.
- Having Zeraora and Urshifu is a nasty combination. Blaziken refreshes the Energies needed. Rayquaza is useful for stacking/refreshing the hand or stacking for a large hit. All situational to the deck you are playing.
