Mallow (1/2), Copycat (comes out next set), Judge (likely will replace N post rotation), acrobike which comes out next set, pal pad, counter energy on non-gx pokemon, Volkner (it's a lightning Korinna), mysterious treasure, As far as pokemon the draw based ones are oranguru (a basic octillery...

Lots of good options have already been suggested, but Xerneas break, Koko spread with Honchcrow and baby lele, are also decent options.

Of course that is primary need of Raichu, but this card accomplishes two of the secondary needs of the deck in keeping energy in play by negating the retreat cost and offering an option to quickly get energy back into play. Having played my fair share of Raichu games losing energies early is...

Raichu just got better.

Not exactly, but with Lysandre Prism fire could theoretically remove psychic energies from play which completely ruins Malamar.

The only deck I've really thought about playing Electrode GX is with Shining Genesect. Even in that case Electrode would be used as a way of controlling when you want to access your beast rings for Pheromosa, but I'm not even sure it would be better than the Venusuar Jungle totem engine.

I think this set it has a lot of pokemon that could immediately have an impact on world's just as Golisopod and Gardevoir did at last years. Rayquaza is really good, Shiftry seems solid albeit a stage 2, Swampert seems interesting, and even Altaria/ Scizor or Stakataka could have potential in...

Both seem decent. Thundurus GX attack could make it splashable in thunder decks, and that it accelerates to itself is decent. Although if it did 20/30 plus attached a lightning energy it would be significantly better. Tornadus seems like an enhanced Yveltal GX. Too bad it wasn't just normal...

I feel like it's hard to determine how badly Buzzwole gets hurt by the rotation, but to me losing Max elixir and octillery hurt it a lot. Sure, you can play Zoroark but the deck right now relies heavily on using Brooklet hill and without Octillery the stadium can't get out every useable pokemon...

In addition to other options others have posted, Apricorn Maker seems like it might have some potential. The card lets you search out two cards that have ball in their name and put them into your hand. In a post sycamore/Brigette year that could be beneficial.

Buzzwole can still OHKO but it can't do so like it has in the past where people have literally thrown it on the bench, put a float stone on the active and powered it up in one turn. Their game becomes solely dependent on hitting beast rings which inherently makes it worse. While Lucario also is...

My initial thoughts were to pair it with Geomancy Xerneas as a means of getting energy on the board and then finish off with Altaria. I feel like Fairy has a lot of Pokémon that let you search through your deck to get out Pokémon as well like Diancie (for evolution) and Dedenne. Lastly, I've...

I agree with the above poster's statement that Bulu still will remain good and with Rayquaza dropping in Celestial Storm Vikavolt isn't going anywhere. Lapras/water box is probably also decent. In terms of speculating I feel like if/when Buzzwole falls off Raichu turbo will start seeing an...

I feel like post rotation Lucario GX gets a lot better, whereas Buzzwole get a lot worse.

Considering rotation is happening in the next couple of months and BuzzRoc might be the competitive deck hit hardest by rotation, I personally feel Malamar variants should be positioned better than BuzzRoc post rotation. Also, with octillery Zoroark becomes a lot better, but there is a Swampert...

Beast Box is only decent, and can be stopped by a lot of things. I'm not sure why people are saying most of Beast Box is weak to Psychic, sure Naganadel is weak to psychic, but the better version of the deck seems to be metal and Dusk-Mane has a resistance to psychic.

Wow, Altaria is the 1st full art dragon I've liked. Shiftry also looks good.

I think your assessment on Hala is fair, as there are a lot of GX's attacks which aren't good either. Some others I think may utilize Hala are Reshiram GX as it's first attack accelerates energy to itself, Zygarde which I feel is position well going into post rotation, Raquaza GX as it allows...

I feel like it's a rock/paper/Scissors scenario with Buzzwole/Zoroark/ and Malamar decks.

Can't ever seeing myself playing 4 of Lillie when Copy Cat/Judge/ and Cynthia are in the format. If anything, since the game is moving to be more aggressive Hala may be used more often than her as well (although this is speculation). Volkner will also become a staple in Bulu/Raquaza GX and any...
