Would Banette GX work in Expanded? By using a bunch of Utility Supporters as well as Battle Compressors and VS Seekers, would the deck be able to run? Because Banette would only require 1 energy, it could be given Bodybuilding dumbbells, since it cant really use a choice band, and Max Potion and Acerola abuse. Would this work? With Mystery Energy, we could cycle them to abuse the ability as well. What other Pokémon should be in this deck? As support 'mons?

Banette is meme-tier (unfortunately), especially while Zoroark dominates both formats, just have to accept it.

@Weakness policy?
By the time this releases Zoro will possibly get banned in Expanded
lmao. wait you think for real??
Look what they wrote on the recent Ban list and rule change page (https://www.pokemon.com/us/sun-moon...-list-and-rule-changes-quarterly-announcement)
Considering 5 decks in top 8 at Struttgart regionals were Zoro/Eggs. It's pretty obvious he'll likely get the ban hammer
They say that in most announcements.
More likely exeggcute or sky field gets banned
Even with a Zoroark ban I don't really see what's compelling about this card. Your damage cap is 170 against GX assuming you get a shady move in, and that's assuming you have TEN supporters in discard. Even with battle compressors that's extreme, it will take you a few turns to get there. Night March uses one prize basics and requires less cards in discard to hit the same numbers.
It could have seen play if they removed the active clause from shady move but as is it's a junk GX unfortunately.

I really think that Banette GX and Decidueye GX could work together, maybe with a couple of the baby ones from Celestial Storm as well, just to weaken Night March and/or punish a 2-prize pokemon with no real ability to defend itself, like Shaymin EX.
