Big reveal means that there are lots of cogs spinning in the ol' brain of mine right now. First and foremost, I saw this Zygarde GX and knew that there was opportunity, like a Buzzswole deck, which did see a fair amount of play. I think everything Irons itself out in the end, so here we go.

- Pal Pad (2)

- Brigette (1)
- Lusamine (2)
- Max Elixir (4)
- Fighting (9)
- DCE (4)
- Zoroark GX: Used for three mains reasons. 1) Draw support (duh. This is the most obvious reason and is supposed to be a sort of stand in (
) for something like Octillery.) 2) Back-up attacker (120 w/ a full bench is a really good attack to use right after a Guzma, especially if there is nothing you want to Guzma switch into) and 3) Energy Acceleration (This one is a bit backhanded. In theory, if you have energy in hand, you can use Trade to trash it and fuel your discard for Zygarde's first attack.) - No Regirock EX: I decided to neglect Regirock because I'll only be able to play with it for about three months, Diancie already adds twice as much damage, and it gives up two prizes. Overall, a crappy inclusion after the Prism star.
- 1 Spiritomb: The goal of this deck is to Use Bonnie whenever you can for that sick GX attack. Spiritomb is like a beefier version of Pal Pad or Vs. Seeker almost, getting two supporters into hand. There is the drawback of being able to give up a prize, and it ending your turn, but I think that the effect evens it out. Also, between the damaging attack and Zygarde's GX, everything but Garchomp and Empoleon get absolutely rekt.
- 4 Brooklet Hill: Even though I don't play that many fighting pokemon in retrospect, I still play four Brooklet Hill. This is because of the fact that Bonnie requires you to Discard a stadium for it to work . Lusamine helps recover these for it as well. I might work this into a 3-1 split between hill and Parellel City, but for right now i think 4 Hills is the way to go.
- Fighting Fury Belt: The reason I am playing Fighting Fury Belt over Choice band is for the HP bonus. Being @ 240 Hp eek sounds like too good of a deal to pass up (even though with weakness Golisopod one-shots already. Just not from Armor Press with the belt.)
- Max Elixir: Helps charge up Diancie if I ever have to retreat and/or use the attack on it. They can also charge a second Zygarde without the use of a DCE, which lowers the weakness to Barbaracle/E. Hammer.
- No Strong Energy: Strong Energy is rotating and it can't be recovered by Zygarde's attack. Not good enough to play, especially since they can E. Hammer those off.
