I think you should look at the Fighting/Vileplume that Day 2'd US Nationals, it has a very specific strategy which is to run basically all supporters and few items and get a T1 item lock. It uses a FFBelted Zygarde to attack, and then AZ the Zygarde before its knocked out. Then move Carbink...

I think Galvantula could be a useful dual type, even as a Stage 1. It's 2 types, takes colorless energy so it can attack and it can 2HKO two Shaymin on the bench Galvantula – Lightning / Grass – HP90 Stage 1 – Evolves from Joltik [C] Double Thread: Choose 2 of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon...

Olympia could be useful as well, could be used to get a Zygarde out of the active after an All Cells Burn. But Trev isn't a great matchup in general because of the Fighting resistence

Also hits Greninja for weakness

How does this deal with Octillery being Lysandred?

I think you can swap a Sycamore for N. With fighting decks I find myself almost always using Korrina anyways.

I played against Trev and did not realize until then that ghost types have Fighting Resistence, so its a 3HKO, and if you're playing Shaymin's they can get picked off

There's very few decks are running Muscle Band anymore, the only reason anyone would use it is because you don't have a basic

a 190HP Zygarde that heals itself is going to be brutal on Trev, a single Zygarde in your Active can probably win against Trev. It's a 3HKO vs Trev Break, but he'll keep healing himself and keep from getting finished off by Wobbafett. And if you can break the item lock with a Hex and get power...

I ran a Garchomp/Lucario and I'm switching Lucario out for Zygarde/Power Memory. Garchomp + Focus Sash decimates EX's, but his biggest drawback is he cannot OHKO a big non-EX for any damage, Greninja Break + Rough Seas is impossible to beat. Lucario didn't help with that problem since he can't...

Lucario's Psychic weakness is such a liability he see's almost no play. If you're getting item locked it's probably Trev or Toad, and Trev is going to 2HKO Lucario with tree slam, the same problem M Mewtwo has. And if you're item locked you might draw 6 cards on a spinning kick, but good luck...

Rough seas doesn't help Kingdra though

any thoughts on tech'ing a maxie's archeops or gallade in? this deck already has the vs seeker/battle compressor necessary. gallade could help against jolteon and archeops against a bunch of different decks? does it slow the deck down too much?

The OP's deck list has neither Carbink nor Hex Maniac nor escape rope in his deck list, so that deck list is an auto-loss. All of those are tech options the OP can use, but you're missing the point, his deck list has none.

I play this deck very heavily, won my local league championship in Expanded with it this past weekend. Max Elixir is a must to power Xerneas up with a Fairy and a DCE in 1 turn. You could use Exp Share, but I've been using FFB instead to hit the 170 magic number. Puzzle of Time will not fit...

FFB is a must to get out of reach of most OHKO, but there's no way you'd play it with Aromatisse. You must have 1 Xerneas in the active and 1 on the bench powering up, which is your Fairy bench type. If you take up another slot with a Fairy Aromatisse you're missing out on your max damage. A...

it's already T2/3, so definitely. In expanded it came in 2nd in Seattle regionals this past weekend there will also be a Xernas BREAK, so who knows what other goodies the deck will get

you will auto lose to Carbink Safeguard and Jolteon if that matters to you. You're extremely susceptile to getting Regirock Lysandre'd out and getting Silent Fear'd to death. You're strategy is straight-forward and might steamroll some decks, but lacks the nuance necessary to deal with complex...

It's fair to complain about Night March, because statistically it is far too widely played, and win's far too much. But there's no point in complaining about any EX because EX's are not doing well in the current format (partially because of NM). Basic decks like NM, Trev, Greninja, Vespiqueen...

For my build I simply replaced all the Shauna/Birch/Judge with N
