Standard Bad Omen (Absol/M Gallade-EX/Forretress)

This functions similarly to the old Absolutions archetype from ex Deoxys-on, by using a Stage 1 (in this case, Forretress FLF instead of Jolteon ex DS), and using Absol (either Absol RSK or Absol ex PK) to strategically move damage counters. The old archetype used Jolteon ex's Second Bite attack for damage output, powering itself up based on how heavily damaged its target was. Instead of something similar to that, I'm using M Gallade-EX to flood the opponent's side of the board with damage counters, giving Absol loads of counters to move about. There's really only one situational tech in here, which is Zygarde (doggo) from Fates Collide, as a way to counter those pesky [D]-types that resist M-Gallade's attack.

List:


2x Absol RSK
2x Gallade-EX RSK
2x M Gallade-EX RSK
2x Forretress FLF
2x Pineco FLF
1x Hoopa-EX AO
1x Zygarde FC
2x Shaymin-EX RSK
Pokemon: 14


4x Trainer’s Mail AO
4x VS Seeker RSK
3x Battle Compressor PHF
3x Ultra Ball FC
3x Buddy-Buddy Rescue BT
2x Target Whistle PHF
1x Lysandre FLF
1x Skyla BP
1x Hex Maniac AO
1x Giovanni’s Scheme BT
1x AZ PHF
1x N FC
1x Delinquent BP
2x Forest of Giant Plants AO
3x Dimension Valley PHF
I/S/ST: 29


4x Mystery Energy PHF
4x Rainbow Energy BT
7x [P] Energy
Energy: 16

Thoughts?

I don't thinkHope that Zygarde is necessary here. Especially since Stand In Zoarark exists. So I would cut that, and add a Super Scoop Up (To scoop up damaged Gallade/Shaymin/Forretress)

-1 Zygarde
+1 SSU

Next I would take out the Buddy-Buddy Rescues and add more Scoop Ups (again, to be spreading that damage from Forretress).

-3 Buddy-Buddy rescue
+3 SSU

2 Target whistles might be a bit much, so I think we can add a Sycamore to increase your draw power.

-1 Target Whistle
+1 Sycamore

Most decks only run 10-12 energy, and even hyper-acceleration decks like Eels/Raikou run 14 at most. The rainbow energies don't really fit, so we're gonna cut those and two mystery energy

-4 Rainbow Energy
-2 Mystery Energy

And we're gonna add spirit links and beef up your attacker line

+1-1 M Gallade
+3 Gallade Spirit Link
+1 Absol ROS 40/108

Hopefully that helps!
