Though the release of Team Up is two months away, I already see something that can be done with what has been revealed:
Pokemon (16):
Energy (10):
The stadium of choice for this deck would be either the newly revealed Lavender Town or Altar of the Moone. This deck doesn't run any energy recovery, so having to not discard to retreat wuold be nice an acheivable thanks to the Altar. Although, Lavender Town also has its perk, and in the context of the games and the headlining pokemon would make more sense, in letting me see my opponent's hand and from there figuring out if I should go for a Poltergeist or if I should pop the GX attack on my Mimi/gar TTGX.
The garbodor line, which hasn't really been touched on as of yet, is a great way to sort of mitigate another weakness of this deck, being the need to have the items in the opponent's hand. My opponent could easily just throw his hold hand of trainers, probably items for the most part, in his discard pile with the use of a Sightseer. If my opponent does this, however, they then face the wrath of my plan B, Garbodor. If all of their items are in the discard, then they probably wont get hit super hard by Poltergeist, but will get steamrolled by Trashalanche.
