Help Darkrai GX Deck Ideas

So I've been looking around online and haven't found one Darkrai GX deck build that stands out to me. I've seen some Turbo Darkrai EX/GX builds, but I kind of want to run Darkrai GX without the EX. I was initially think of pairing it with Salazzle from Sun and Moon Base Set to inflict status conditions and use Darkrai's GX attack for a guaranteed KO. Salazzle's status condition also allows Darkrai's Dark Cleave attack to hit important numbers:

Dark Cleave + Choice Band + Salazzle's Hot Poison = 190 damage

Would it even be worth it to run it with Salazzle though? It's a lot of pieces to set up. I'm sure Turbo Darkrai EX/GX would be more efficient. Does anyone have a build that've seen/used that looks good?
 
I like the thought but you can just run poison barbs and field blowers. Get them poisoned gx attack then field blow to add on choice band.

I don't think Poison Barb is nearly as effective because you have to hope that your opponent doesn't Field Blower it off. Plus if you have a Poison Barb attached they can play around it with Guzma. At least with Salazzle you choose when to Poison and Burn your opponent.
