Standard Drampa-GX/Pyroar BREAK

[joffreyspikes]

Here is a list I have constructed focusing on getting huge knockouts with Pyroar BREAK (the underlying Pyroar also has two excellent attacks), whilst it's recoil powers up Drampa-GX's Berserk. It is built for after the rotation (BKT-on if you haven't heard).

Pokémon: 15
3x Drampa-GX
3x Pyroar BREAK
3x Pyroar (STS)
3x Litleo
2x Tapu Lele-GX
1x Oranguru

Trainers: 32
4x Professor Sycamore
4x N
2x Pokémon Center Lady
3x Guzma
1x Brigette

4x Ultra Ball
4x Choice Band
3x Float Stone
2x Field Blower
2x Super Rod
1x Special Charge

3x Po Town

Energy: 13
9x Fire Energy
4x Double Colourless Energy

Hello guys, this post is as old as the hills now but I would really like some feedback on this concept. Thanks.

Definitely strikes me as an interesting deck idea! Here are a couple changes I would make regarding your deck list.

Pokemon:
+1 Pyroar (STS)- In order to increase the consistency of using the Pyroar line, I recommend you run a play set of almost the entire line.
+0 Pyroar BREAK- Being the final evolution I would recommend you leave this as it is. If he gets discarded early you have Super Rod and Rescue Stretcher to bring him back.
+1 Litleo- Same reasoning as Pyroar (STS).
-1 Oranguru- I'm actually not a huge fan of this Pokémon, and your deck will need a lot of bench space for Litleo, Drampa, and Tapu Lele combined so I would drop it.

Trainers:
+1 Fisherman- I think this card will be great, because it makes you a little less scared of discarding energies by retreating or being knocked out. Super Rod on the other hand puts energies back into your deck, but attaching energies requires it to be in your hand so Fisherman will help.
-3 Float Stone- Because your Pokémon are already in range of a OHKO from all decks due to Po Town, just save the space in your deck.
+2 Kiawe- Honestly, this cards seems like a great way to quickly power up your Pokémon because you run colorless and fire types.
-2 Pokémon Center Lady- For the same reason as Float Stone, your opponents are already taking OHKO's so I wouldn't waste space in your deck.
+2 Rescue Stretcher- This deck really needs a way to bring Pokémon that get knocked out or discarded, back into your hand. Just like Greninja BREAK, you want to force your opponent to take knockouts on Pyroar and only take 1 prize card for it. So in order to put Pyroars back on the bench you need to find a way to bring them back.

Energy:
-1 Double Colorless Energy- Because I added Kiawe that offers another option to power up Drampa.

So I have never physically played this deck or anything similar, so you will need to do a lot of testing to get the quantities down right. Also wanted to apologize for having so many one-of supporters in the deck. It was hard to make changes in the deck because the list is so tight, but I'm hoping Lele will come in use for the one-of supporters. That being said, hope this helps you in your deck testing, good luck!
