This is my first standard deck, so if the construction sucks, you now know why.

The idea here is to strike early, strike often.

Fast Raid allows you to put some early damage on the board and Pheromosa GX’s second attack is energy efficient and causes automatic confusion. And with Float Stone out of the format, I’d imagine it’s going to stick a bit better.

Neganadel GX is great. Does as much damage as Zoroark GX, but it’s GX can certainly help if you suddenly find yourself behind on prizes and can’t use Beauty GX to compensate..

I’m still trying to wrap my head around proper Standard build construction as I have done nothing but okay Expanded. I think there’s a lot going for the UBs post Worlds.


Any thoughts?

Generally, the public says that Pheromosa GX is trash.
The public is wrong.
Congrats on moving into Standard.
I was going to come up with a list of what you forgot, like N and Sycamore, but then I remembered SUM on.

I actually can’t find anything wrong wrong this deck.
However, I would like to say
-1 Acerola
-1 Multi Switch
-1 Nihilego
(Your most extraneous cards)

+3 Rotom Dex Poké Finder Mode. Believe me, it’s super good.
