Of course, to really hit them where it hurts you would space these cards out. Play Parallel City first, make them think it won't happen again because most decks play a single copy, and then later hit them again with Cyrus. They'll have weeded the unnecessary cards out by then so when you get...

Actually, Cyrus reduces the bench down to 2 Pokémon. The literal translation says 'Your opponent shuffles their Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to them into their deck until they have 2 Pokémon on their Bench.' So after you've used Tapu Fini-GX's attack there would still be 1 more Pokémon...

If cost is an issue, you could have a look at some of the budget metal decks people around here have come up with. If what you are looking for is a real hard counter to Gardevoir-GX because it's popular at your local league, then metal really is the way to go. Below is an example of a somewhat...

I have some thoughts to share on this subject, but I'm at work right now. I'll update this post later with my full answer. In the meantime, what's your collection like, i.e. what do you have that you can work with?

Cobalion comes to mind. You would need to use Rainbow Energy to make it work in a deck that's not already using Metal typing, but its first attack basically protects you from attacking Basic Pokémon for a turn. Not too bad in a format where cards like Buzzwole are running rampant. It's second...

You know what, I really don't like Beast Energy PS much. Not because I don't like the idea of the card being specifically applicable to Ultra Beasts, but because from where I'm sitting it only really seems to help the one Ultra Beast that didn't need help to begin with: Buzzwole-GX. Buzzwole...

Resources being as precious as they are for this archetype, I would think about cutting that Clefairy. I'm assuming you included it for Metronome, which takes 3 energy. Although potentially powerful, it's 3 energy that could have been spent on this deck's main attacker, Tapu Bulu-GX. Mew being...

Another new card which I happened upon that could be fun to include is a Stadium card, Mt. Coronet: Mt. Coronet – Trainer Stadium Once during each players turn, that player may put 2 [M] Energy from their discard pile into the hand. This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card...

You may be on to something in terms of the DCE, although Rayquaza is able to use them as well. Still, the most you will ever need at the same time is 2 DCE, so playing a total of 3 copies rather than 4 may be enough. Perhaps baby Solgaleo could take its place. I think 9 Metal Energy is going to...

Hey guys! I have been a fan of the Solgaleo-GX card and the deck ever since the release of Sun & Moon's base set, but it never seemed an optimal choice in the current meta. At least until Gardevoir-GX rolled around and I suddenly felt validated in my opinion. Now that new sets and products in...

Yeah, I think it could be a great addition and turn out to be an integral part of the deck's strategy. Maybe I'll drop the number of total Energy in the deck by one so I can incorporate two of the card, just to make sure I don't prize the one copy I run. I'll have to run some more tests to see...

I made this change and played a couple of games today; won all of them, and the deck seemed to flow a little bit better! Thanks for the tip. I'm also thinking of dropping Alolan Vulpix GRI and Necrozma-GX BUS and replacing them with two Tapu Koko Promo. I find that I'm just out of knockout...

Goodness me, you are right! I've been reading it wrong the entire time! Well, that's a bummer. I mean, it's still a good inclusion because of the ability, but knowing this it's going to change the way I play the deck. Thanks for pointing this out to me, I can't believe I missed that!

Doesn't it? While it's true that a fully-powered Solgaleo-GX can indeed deal with anything, its attack comes at a cost. Wasting it on a single prize opponent seems like a bad play, and often is. I find that Tapu Lele-GX can really come in handy in certain situations. For a single DCE it can...

I wonder, is there a particular reason you would add an extra Metang over a Rare Candy? Also, what's the motivation behind removing Necrozma-GX, a card that has excellent synergy with Metagross-GX? Is it for the sake of consistency or do you think it's just not that good of a card? I too have...

Hi guys! Name's Rensje, new to the Pokémon TCG and eager to learn from more experienced players and deck builders online and in my local community. I posted a topic earlier asking for help to improve my Metagross-GX list, but my heart truly lies with this Solgaleo-GX deck. I don't think it's...

Hi guys! Name's Rensje, a longtime fan of online card games such as Hearthstone, Hex and more recently Faeria who came to the Pokémon TCG with the desire to finally start collecting and playing something physical. A few months ago I jumped in with the release of the Sun & Moon set, figuring that...
