Standard 2018 Standard Gardevoir GX

[Digital Dragon]

Pokemon (17):
4x Ralts BUS
3x Kirlia BUS
4x Gardevoir GX BUS
2x Gallade BKT
2x Tapu Lele GX GUR
2x Alolan Vulpix GUR

Trainers (31):
4x Professor Sycamore STS
4x N FCO
3x Guzma BUS
1x Bridgette BKT
1x Skyla BKP
1x Professor Kukui SUM
1x Fisherman BKT
4x Rare Candy SUM
3x Ultra Ball SUM
3x Choice Band GUR
2x Field Blower GUR
1x Rescue Stretcher GUR
3x Fairy Garden FCO

Energy (12):
4x Double Colorless Energy SUM
8x Fairy Energy

Strategy: Use Alolan Vulpix and Tapu Lele into cards like Bridgette to fill the board turn one.Turn two, you can evolve into Gardevoir / Gallade and start hitting for massive damage. This is achieved by attaching DCEs to Gardevoir and using Secret Spring to attach more fairy energy. Gallade is a good single prize attacker that can help hit for weakness. In addition, Gardevoir, being a stage two GX, is relatively hard to KO, with a bulky 230 HP.

Any help is appreciated, because this is a VERY rough idea of a deck. Thank you for your time.

Octillery is usually paired with Gallade. You might want to check out Omnipoke's youtube channel. He is 100% convinced it is the BDIF and will win worlds as long as there's not too much Metagross.

Hi Digital Dragon,

Nice post-rotation deck. In line with 21times I would consider Octillery in this list to have a stable draw engine. Consider these modifications:

- 2 Alolan Vulpix (rather have Diancie here)
- 1 Gardevoir GX (three will suffice)
- 1 Gallade (one is sufficient)

- 1 Fisherman (not needed that bad in my optinion)
- 1 Professor Kukui (not needed that bad in this deck)
- 1 Rare Candy (three suffice with three Kirlia and Diancie)

+ 2 Diancie BUS (evolve Ralts and Kirlia)
+ 2 Octillery (stable draw engine)
+ 2 Remoraid (needed to evolve)

+ 1 Super Rod /Rescue Stretcher (two Pokémon retrieval cards stabilize the deck a lot and redue the pressure on Twilight GX)

Hope this provides some inital assistance.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will definitely add in Octillary, but I have to say I don't think Diancie is that great. You may be able to change my mind, but having to wait until turn 2 to use up an attack simply to evolve one Ralts doesn't seem very good when I could just Rare Candy.

Omnipoke agreed, he did not think Diancie would be a benefit to this deck.

In the event that you go second diancie can make it so that you can get a gardevoir out easier without need of rare candy and potentially you could save the candy for another gardevoir it's totally worth it.

 

[Digital Dragon]

Yeah, but you can't even evolve first turn right? The card text says it counts as evolution, it's not like Eevees ability.
