Seriously, what happened? The power creep from lost thunder to team up made me think unbroken bonds would have 160 hp basics hitting 160 for 1 energy attachment. They look good at first, on paper, but when you play them, you just get beat by the team up decks, and even the lost thunder decks...

Welder + fire energy can load up natus. Or a malamar but you can't afford the bench space and even weaker spread matchup. Personally I don't think weezing is dead post rotation (they'll play welder or malamar as well), but maybe there's an answer to that... leavanny is a stage 2 but would make...

I'm pretty sure Koko melts in two turns with spell tags, and they will try to play TAEs against zeraora, take it out in 2 hits plus a guzma to push it to the bench to die, while you do 60. Even with a hood on, I don't know if you can discard enough energies to win if you aren't taking prizes.

I have never played zap beasts, so take with a grain of salt, but what about a lucario/melmetal tech? I get that it would suck to lead it, especially against a fire deck, but on the other hand buzzmosa is already in there. With 20 psychic resistance plus the GX attack, you block the attack...

Nice updated list. You'll have to let us know how it plays.

My fault, I skimmed right by power plant. Good choice. Forget black market, I totally forgot you had to have energy attached.

Still no stadium? You could actually use black market yourself, and play basic dark pokemon (such as spiritomb). I still think jynx/spiritomb/viridian is a good combo (rainbow only works 4 times). Goomy could be your wall also, a nice one prizer that can ride a u-turn or escape board.

Pokemaniac, plus buff padding (and not vulnerable to it being turned off by absol... I like). Yeah I was already betting on lickilicky, and you make a good point that arbok is probably just extra clunk. Arbok might work better with rip and run honchcrow (and a one of GX honchcrow for unfair)...

First off, loto is rotating. Which to me, means you need a more reliable damager than rainbow. Spiritomb TEU and jynx from unified minds could work, or you may not even need spiritomb since your opponent will most likely help you out by damaging your stuff, or you can play shrine to tick damage...

Yeah, that's a good point about Omelet GX. I'm trying to look at the new cards coming out, because there could be some cool combos there as well. I'm really liking the idea of a jessie and james hand mill deck, with arbok to passively mill, weezing to make J&J stronger, and lickilicky as the...

There are a lot of considerations for any deck, budget or not. Does it get worse or better with no guzma in format? No acerola/potion? No marshadow? Does it work with treasure/net ball/pokemaniac/elm/ultra space/cherish ball, since we lose a bunch of search? What deck specific key cards does it...

If you are interested in keeping up in prizes, you can set up a lusamine prism into naganadel-gx stinger turn (use a TAE) when your opponent is down to 3 prizes. Then just giovanni or acerola the naganadel and tank hits while attacking with stakas (with the help of beast ring). If you are more...

Having seen the new channeler supporter to be coming out in Unified Minds, I'm very curious as to the interaction with a particular favorite card of mine, Ariados from Lost Thunder with the trapping thread attack: Since ariados stops the supporter from affecting the defending pokemon as the...

Mainly it's just deck balance, you only have 6 pure draw supporters, and only 2 ultra ball. Increasing either or both will help, especially straight draw in a rare candy deck(luckily those are the "bad" supporters so they are cheap). With 2 brock's you can ditch stretcher and recycler, or vice...

3 40hp lightning mons and nothing compatible with rainbow hustle? The other tynamo rotates and the other joltik heals itself, my lake trio hustle deck demands a better honchcrow gx killer.

I doubt we'll see choice band reprinted, and I'm not convinced anything but mewmewmew is seeing a lot of play. But that does mean two weaknesses to have to tech for.

It's probably fair to say most decks are 2 shot (or spread), and most ohko decks now are fire, so you just need to tech for fire at the moment and you'd be set.

Cobalion GX and a metal energy would work.

Triple battle compressor (+1) as a GX attack, that could be... well I don't know what it'd be for, but someone will think of something. Infinite heal with recycle energy and baby porygon z is neat, but the attack is meh. Looked for porygon or porygon2 attacks to use with memory energy but in...
