I have been theorizing this since the card was revealed. Here is an (imo) optimal list: ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 14 * 1 Klefki STS 80 * 1 Marshadow UNB 81 * 4 Shedinja VIV 66 * 1 Tapu Lele-GX GRI 60 * 4 Trubbish NVI 48 * 3 Garbodor BKP 57 ##Trainer Cards - 41 * 4 Mysterious Treasure FLI 113 * 1 Computer Search BCR 137 * 4 Trainers' Mail ROS 92 * 1 Great Catcher CEC 264 * 3 N DEX 96 * 4 Dimension Valley PHF 93 * 4 Hypnotoxic Laser PLS 123 * 2 Rescue Stretcher GRI 130 * 3 Teammates PRC 141 * 4 Float Stone PLF 99 * 4 Professor's Research SSH 178 * 2 Field Blower GRI 125 * 4 Level Ball NXD 89 * 1 Target Whistle Team Flare Gear PHF 106 ##Energy - 5 * 4 Double Colorless Energy NXD 92 * 1 Twin Energy RCL 174 Total Cards - 60 ****** Deck List Generated by the Pokémon TCG Online www.pokemon.com/TCGO ****** The deck is built around the combo of garb+shedinja+dce+laser+d valley to ko literally anything in front of it. I'll write a separate post explaining the specific card choices to keep things uncluttered and make it not as long. (Also makes editing easier if I change stuff)
Ok from the top: Pokemon: 1 Klefki - This is a searchable tool and can just sit on your bench waiting for a field blower. It also gives you an out to honchcrow and vileplume (item lock). I used to have 2 and then got tired of starting it. 1 Marshadow - Swell is a major obstacle and marshadow helps with that. It also attacks for free with d valley in play so if you miss a laser the next turn you can marshadow. 4 Shedinja - duh 1 Tapu Lele - Hand bail out. It also is an attacker that actually does damage (same use case as marshadow). The reason lele over dede or shaymin is because I play treasures. 4 Trubbish - You want 2 trubbish t1 every game. Garbage collection trubbish because it attacks for free under d valley and its attack is busted. 3 Garb - I used to play 2 but the 3rd is good for consistency. 3rd one is a potential cut. Trainers: (skipping over consistency cards) 1 great catcher + 1 target whistle - necessary for adp matchup if you whiff t2. Can be used in other matchups. Also it is the only gust because I cut the guzmas. I literally never played guzmas. If I find a game where I actually need guzmas, I will put them back in. 3 N/4 research/3 teammates - I think this is the optimal supporter split. N is really good with garb if you fall behind. 2 field blower - swell is a problem Energy: Not much to say here, 5 energy is working fine for me, you could add more but it is fine the way it is.
