Hi @Cerynitis welcome to the conversation! Yeah Buzzwole would hit for 60 on the active and 30 on the bench. From my testing Zoroark definitely adds consistency to the deck. It get's your techs into the discard faster than ever before :). I like your idea for the Zoroark/Mallow combo. I used...

I'm really only interested in Buzzwole's Jet punch attack which will do great spread damage for 1 energy. With Strong energy+FFB the attack is amazing in the early game and it also softens up everything for the mid to late game.

I'm likely going to test with Buzzwole-GX in this list tomorrow, anyone else going to try him paired with Marshadow-GX?

Here's my current list: ##Pokémon - 19 * 1 Drampa-GX GRI 115 * 1 Spiritomb STS 62 * 1 Zorua SLG 52 * 1 Zoroark-GX SLG 53 * 1 Clefairy EVO 63 * 3 Marshadow-GX BUS 137 * 1 Jolteon-EX GEN 28 * 1 Tapu Koko PR-SM SM30 * 1 Jirachi PR-XY XY67 * 1 Magearna-EX STS 110 * 2 Espeon-EX BKP 117 * 2...

Yeah, good catch, I just thought more about Xerneas that after I posted and ended up editing my post. Thinking more about it, I'll likely just try the win condition I described above for Greninja and take out the Giratina. That will give me room to add the other Espeaon-EX I wanted to add.

@EarthwormZim I feel that Zoroark-GX is the better version, but I find that using Pokemon Fan Club with Zoroark's trade is very ideal throughout the match. Early game to get you your support and attacking pokemon, mid and late game to get key mons into the discard. Two matchups that I find...

@EarthwormZim Whoops sorry, didn't read Litwick for some reason, lol I'm glad we're on the same page. I actually own some copies of both Misdreavus/Mismagius and Marowak :) My son and I went to the crimson invasion pre-release this weekend. I pulled a full art Olivia and traded it for...

@EarthwormZim Thanks for the update on your matches this weekend. I'm sorry it didn't go better for you :( I also picked up a Zoroark-GX this weekend (PTCGO and IRL) and have been testing, it's working out pretty decently. I run a 2-1 line at the moment, I would love to do a 2-2 line but those...

@EarthwormZim I'm getting much more consistency now that I increased my N and Sycamore count. I went on a 5 win streak, beat Drampa/espeon/Garb, Golisipod/Garb, and Xerneas Break but ended up loosing to a Lycanroc/Crabominable deck with Max potions. Here's my current list: ##Pokémon - 19 * 1...

I've too have come to the conclusion that Marshadow Ninjabox (Glaceon-EX, Jolteon-EX, Ninjaboy) style just doesn't work well enough. Guzma is too much of a threat and Marshadow can be OHKO'd too easily when brought up. I mean it does work very well against all basic decks (Volcanion/Darkrai) and...

I also really like Tauros-GX, it came in clutch for me in a game where I was able to use Marshadow-GX with 170 damage (FFB on of course) to use rage to OHKO a Tapu-Lele. I feel like running Ninja Boy in this format is key because it's awesome to be able to re-use Lele and get a key pokemon in...

I'm not sure about your league but the last league cup I was at there were: 2 x Greninja, Espeon/Garb, 2 x Gardevoir-GX, Ninetales-GX, Golisipod-GX/Tapu-koko, Xerneas Break, Volcanion/Ho-Oh, Toxapex-GX/Raichu and my Tapu-Bulu/Vikavolt deck. The players here mostly seem to play meta decks...

@EarthwormZim tech in a Magearna-EX into your list, it will help with both the Drampa-GX and Espeon-GX match-ups. Put Magearna on your bench, place Marshadow in the active with a rainbow energy and you can prevent both Special energy discard and confusion. Hopefully your third field blower...

@EarthwormZim Kartana-GX certainly looks good. It's like a re-usable E-hammer and Acerola in one and it has a decent GX attack to boot. Well not quite like Acerola but you know what I mean. I'm not quite sure if it will be a good fit for Marshadow or not. I would much rather use Acerola to get...

@EarthwormZim I prize 1 Marshadow every now and again but all I need is 2 and I've never had any issue getting them out with Ultraball or Pokemon fan club (Brooklet Hill in your case). I got my Shining Mew for 5 Shining legends packs, but that was right after release. It might be going for...

I don't want to mess around with what works for you too much but if it were me, I would sacrifice in the following areas: Go to 1 Jolteon-EX. The meta right now is evolution heavy right now so you'll be using Glaceon's attack (with Marshadow) the majority of the time. Yes, a opponent can go...

I would go with the FFBs, I justify it by thinking that a FFB + Strong energy = a Choice band anyway but with the added benefit of +40HP. I would definitely recommend adding in a Magearna-EX and a Shining Mew, those 2 cards are indispensable in a variety of match-ups. Discard Shining mew as fast...

The other day I added 2 x Pokemon Fan Club to my list and found that it works quite well in this deck! You can search for 2 of the pokemon you need to discard and then use an ultraball to discard them and grab either an attacker (likely Marshadow-GX) or a support pokemon like Oranguru or...

@Laurier_Ex I used to add Energy Loto into the deck but I found that I always needed that extra slot for something else. I determined that I would just discard like mad in the early game to dig deep for the rainbow energy and then get the energies back in the mid game with Special charge (I have...

@Laurier_Ex you hit the nail on the head with the major issue being energy acceleration. Enhanced hammer is also a killer against this deck. I am definitely looking forward to trying shining Mew, it should be a major help with consitency! Great thought about the Magearna-EX/Comfey +...
