I kind of stole this concept from some guy I ran into and got crushed by in ladder, he was using wobbs instead of Tauros but I see there's kind of a synergy here between Tauros and Donphan, Donphan can roll while Tauros walls. Korrina lets you get Donphans out and pick up float stones or robo subs to equip wall cards and fill out your bench. I use scoop up as my ace spec because it's the only one I have, but I think it's a good fit for this type of deck.
I don't have much experience playing expanded, is there anything in particular I need to be on the lookout for?
Update 1: Ditched Silver Bangle and 1 Ultra Ball for a pair of Muscle Bands which feel more consistent in a meta where GX cards exist. Traded Enhanced Hammer for Delinquent as a secondary way to deal with stadiums.
Deck has trouble with Archie's Blastoise due to Donphan being water rather than grass weak and because I have to run float stones rather than FFB on Tauros to reliably get Donphan back in, and the 40 less HP means Keldeo can much more comfortably hit KO range.
