Greetings, all. I would like some input on a deck i've been working on that mostly focuses on Bronzong BREAK.
3 Bronzong BREAK
3 Bronzong (Phantom Forces)
4 Bronzor (Fates Collide)
2 Genesect EX (Fates Collide)
2 Shaymin EX (Roaring Skies)
--- 14 Pokemon
10 Metal Energy
--- 10 Energy
3 Prof Sycamore
3 N
2 Bridget
1 Wally
1 Lysandre
1 AZ
--- 11 Supporters
3 Float Stone
4 VS Seeker
3 Battle Compressor
3 Ultra Ball
2 Level Ball
2 Target Whistle
1 Revive
2 Bursting Balloon
1 Muscle Band
1 Sacred Ash
--- 22 Items/Tools
3 Skyfield
--- 3 Stadiums
Overview: The basic premise of the deck is to set up Bronzong BREAKs as quickly as possible, focusing more on Bronzong and less on Genesect-EX. Put as many Energy as possible onto Gold Bell, as I call him, and use Metal Rain. An attack where you discard as many Energy as you like from the active Gold Bell and choose one of your opponent's for each energy discarded and deal 30 to it, also allowing you to do this the same Pokemon more than once. This essentially allows you to allocate damage as you see fit. Of course this requires quite a few energy to deal significant damage, so in most cases one would aim for Pokemon with lower HP. You can of course switch gears to Genesect EX if you don't feel like taking your chances.
The main way to set up early game is to use cards such as Bridget, Ultra and Level Balls (the latter for searching Bronzor and Bronzong) to set as many Bronzor as possible, and Wally to set up at least one Metal Links Bronzong. Also I'm using one Revive cuz of some ideas I had. It is quite useful as you can salvage a downed Genesect or Bronzor, whether it be KOed or dumped by a discard effect. It also works well for setting up a bunch of Bronzor, as you can use Battle Compressor to dump a Basic Pokemon from your deck and then Bench it with Revive. After some testing, I may capitalize on it more, but for now I feel one is a good fit. Target Whistle is for nabbing lower HP Pokemon from the opponent's discard pile to rain down metal upon them for easy prizes, though I use easy loosely. Finally a short list of Tool cards. Float Stone and Bursting Balloon are fairly self explanatory; easy retreating for the heavy bells and playing defense when you need to. Muscle Band is for Genesect to hit those magic numbers. I originally went with Reverse Valley as my Stadium, but found that Skyfield is all-around better.
My main problem with this deck is that setting up Bronzong BREAK is a bit of a chore sometimes and if you take too long, you lose without much of a fight. Also in some cases, the deck can run out of steam pretty quick.
This is a deck for fun more than anything, but I would like to make into a solid deck that's more streamlined. Streamlined as a huge golden bell can be anyway haha. Are there any thoughts or questions on how I may better this deck?
