What about Silent Lab? You're already slowing the opponent down by locking items, you'd slow them down even more if they can't use Shaymin EX or Hoopa EX (if that becomes a staple post rotation).

A good build might be using GPF to set up quickly and then using AOR Ariados instead of Skyfield to stack a little extra damage against those Megas that Shiftry can't OHKO, as well as stacking up damage if the opponent decides to limit their bench.

Looks like a solid list. Why do you have three Muscle Bands though? If you've hit the opponent with a Bat bite or they've taken damage from the Bad Energy, then you'll already be OHKO'ing them and if they have no damage on them, then it will be a 2HKO regardless if a MB is attached or not.

XY Simisage and PRC 40 Whiscash have this effect for a single colorless energy while doing 20. Not a basic, but they can be Wally'd first turn, and Simisage will gain access to Giant Plant Forest when we get AOR. They're good for delaying your opponent if they use Megas but no Silent Lab or...

Also remember that Golbat can attack all the opponent's Pokemon for a Colorless energy and has free retreat. Could be helpful against Theta Stop. Then again, M Sceptile's attack does heal off damage from the bench.

What do you guys think of using PHF Slurpuff instead of Shaymin-EX? Or an EX attacker? A big strength of this deck is only giving up one prize at a time, but the EX's could be Lysandre'd out and give up two prizes.

^ Since M Heracross doesnt have access to a Spirit Link, it could utilize Healing Scarf alongside PRC Sceptile. I dunno if that would be more effective than Dusknoir and Potions though.

This card could be useful in Gengar-EX or M-Gallade-EX decks. It'd give you energy acceleration without having to rely on Dimension Valley.

I think utilizing M-Tyranitar's Double AT is what is gonna help it even the match up against P-Groudon. It can attach a Weakness Policy to nullify weakness and maybe run PRC Ninetails as a partner to lock P-Groudon out of a stadium. Also the Double Colorless energy requirement means it could...

I was thinking. Wasn't Yveltal EX one of the best attackers pre Phantom Forces? The most obvious reason is that Manectric EX got released. But Phantom Forces also led to the rise of Mega EX cards in general. It seems like Yveltal EX's damage output is perfect for dealing OHKO's to regular EX...

I was thinking about this topic too. One idea that I had was to use AT Rhyperior, XY Rhydon, and Shrine of Memories to use Mad Mountain to Mill. You would need to use Trick Coin since Mad Mountain needs 2 heads to discard cards from the opponent's deck. But if you were able to pull off the move...

This seems very cool. In combination with Wally, it will actually make Grass Stage 2's viable. Shiftry could become one of the top decks. It hits Seismitoad for weakness and can almost keep up with M-Rayquaza for damage output. And then it only gives up one prize. If we get a Mega Grass Pokemon...

That is true. Its a big liability if you have to start with it. And it doesn't get any benefit from any Psychic support that you'd be playing.

Do you think Absol from Roaring Skies would make the deck any stronger if you ran it alongside Forretress? I feel like it could be an alternative to the Bats, but it would also have issues. You'd be able to take advantage of being able to spread damage across the opponent's field, while also...

Nice, M Tyranitar-EX! I wonder if its gonna be Dark or Fighting and if its Dark, hopefully one of the new Special Energies is for Dark type.

Materious17, I've also thought that Goodra could be pretty viable with DDE. If you use DDE for the Water energy requirement, would it be effective with a Fairy set up? Use Xerneas and Aromatisse to further accelerate energy, as well as allow for use of Super Potions along with Gooey...

Haha, I might have to try out the Noivern set up just because it seems so fun. I'm very new to the card game, so I'm not gonna be winning any tournaments any time soon. Also Wobbuffet would slow down Rayquaza by shutting down Shaymin EX to. PMJ- I like that idea. That could definitely work...

Hmm, I didn't even take into account that the Bats could be used as attackers. Golbat would have a big advantage over Forretress there since most likely it would be able to attack for free. Forretress would need two energy attachments since this deck wouldn't run DCE. My thinking for using...

Which one do you think makes the best partner for M Gallade? Both obviously have advantages and disadvantages. Both help out M Gallade in different ways. Forretress damages the opponent's whole bench so M Gallade can sweep the whole bench. This is a big advantage against decks that use low hp...

Ohh yeah, I forgot about that haha. Would something like 2 tool retrievers add too much clunk to the deck? Because they'd also be useful in getting rid of the Team Flare Tools.
