I have a lot of experience with Buzzwole/Lycanroc. Your list looks good. It's slightly different than mine but all the differences are preference so I don't think there's anything you HAVE to change. If you're playing Brigette then I would remove one Brooklet Hill. 1 Brigette and 2 Brooklet Hill...

I'm still just not sold on this archetype. Having to rely on two Stage 2 Pokémon sounds clunky and inconsistent, no matter how many consistency cards you add. With that said... Oricorio and 1 Psychic Energy take away from your consistency. What's the Psychic Energy for? Oricorio's attacks are...

I don't think Cyrus is a huge threat to the deck because you get to pick what two Pokémon stay on your bench so it can certainly be annoying but doesn't completely shut you down.

It has a lot of potential, but as a Stage 2 that's heavily reliant on both player's bench size, it has it's downsides. Your opponent can simply play around it by not filling their bench. Even so, with a full bench on your side you're still getting 2HKOs on most things because your opponent is...

In Standard, I've been mainly playing Buzzwole-GX/Lycanroc-GX, but have also started playing Tapu Bulu-GX/Vikavolt a bit. In Expanded, I have Night March built IRL, but tend to play a lot of different decks online. I play @GekkisaiDaiNi's Zoroark-GX/Vespiquen deck quite a bit and it's a lot of fun.

I'm going to a pre-release today! Hoping to get at least one pull.

I gotta agree with @RedSuinit on this one. N has been in the format for what, 6-7 years? If you don't know how to play around it by now then I don't know what to tell you. Without N, your opponent can abuse search cards with no response. Know that your opponent has the card in hand they need to...

Alternatively, another option is to use Scizor as a tech, meaning you run one or two copies of it for a specific matchup, but the deck isn't centered around it. There was a Silvally-GX/Metal deck recently that tech'd in a copy of Scizor-EX I think. Otherwise, I agree with everything Yog said...

Looks good to me! I get the reasoning for Regirock, but feel that between your Strong Energy and Choice Band you should hit hard enough without it. I personally would take it out for a second Brigette since you really need that T1 Brigette. Otherwise, looks really good to me!

Thanks for the reply! I think the reasoning behind your list is sound, but if I was going to run Buzzwole with Zoroark, I'd rather play a Zoroark/Lycanroc deck that techs in a copy of Buzzwole for early-game Jet Punches instead of using it as my main attacker. I think my main issue with...

Fair enough. I feel like the deck is still streamlined. The game plan is the same as it was before except now it has a response for games where it struggles to set up mid- to late-game. Oranguru doesn't offer the same level of draw power that Octillery does, but still helps and is a Basic so...

So as many of you know (or maybe not!), I've been playing Buzzwole-GX/Lycanroc-GX extensively lately, taking it to two tournaments and seeing decent success with it. Up until my League Cup this past weekend, I knew that the deck had some issues, but felt that because it had the ability to be so...

Definitely an interesting build and I understand the strategy behind it, but I do have some concerns. You basically have to have the same perfect 2-3 turns at the beginning of the game, every game, for this to be effective. You have to go second, have a Shinx on the field and the Luxio in...

I'd remove one Rescue Stretcher for a Special Charge because you're very reliant on Special Energy and Enhanced Hammer is common. I personally would prefer 2 Skyla over 2 Mallow, simply to get that T2 Decidueye easier.

Because BKT will be rotating out of Standard this year.

Golisopod/Zoroark is certainly more consistent, but Garbotoxin has its perks too. Octillery and Oranguru are both great draw engines but you can't really reliably run them in the Goli/Garb variant because your own Garbotoxin shuts them off.

Golisopod/Garbodor is a great deck in today's Meta. It placed second at Memphis recently. I think it's a very strong deck that has a lot of favorable matchups, but can be susceptible to late-game N since it runs no draw support Pokémon.

To answer your last question first, yes you can run the regular and shiny Silvally-GX since they're both the same card, one is just a promo. As long as you're not running more than four of any combination, you're good. As far as the most optimal partner for Glaceon, I'd have to go with Zoroark...

I think that would be a fun deck to play and the strategy behind it makes sense, but my biggest concern with Leafeon GX decks is that you need to have the perfect T1. You need to have an Eevee, a Grass Energy, and a Brigette, or a way to get those, in your starting hand. Anything less and you're...

I considered Lillie because I'm not running Brigette and a T1 Lillie is fantastic, but it just feels more like a luxury than a necessity. I do agree that Field Blower is absolutely needed, and if I had been running it yesterday to remove those Wishful Batons, maybe the matches where I tied and...
