Standard Fighting deck help?

[Kharmos]

I have been tasked with creating a tournament deck for my wife. She just so happens to like the way Zygarde looks... lol.... *sigh* I included the Garchomp line in place Lucario EX because I don't feel like spending $10+ on a card that "might" get rotated out next format. Here we go.....


Pokemon- 17

• Shaymin Ex x1
• Lucario Ex x1
• Gible x3
• Gabite x3
• Garchomp x3
• Regirock x3
• Zygarde Ex x2
• Hoopa Ex x1

Trainer- 34

• Eco Arm x1
• Megaphone x1
• Super Rod x1
• Trainers Mail x2
• Ultra Ball x2
• Korrina x3
• Vs Seeker x4
• Lysandre x1
• N x3
• Az x1
• Professor Sycamore x3
• Fighting Stadium x1
• Scorched Earth x3
• Fury Belt x1
• Float Stone x2
• Focus Sash x3
• Max Potion x1
• Professor's Letter x1

Energy- 9

• Strong Energy x4
• Fighting Energy x5

Strategy-

This is pretty straight forward. We plan to use the Shaymin for obvious draw support and Hoopa to get out the ex depending on hand position. (i.e. Shaymin, Zygarde, Regirock for starts) The Carbink line will be used with battle compressor for energy distribution The Garchomp line will be an alternative energy distribution/mid-late game attacker. Regirock is to help support/give pluses to the group. Zygarde is obvious muscle when needed. Let me know what you think or if there is somewhere else I need to go with theme to make it consistent enough for tournament play.​

First of all: "happy wife, happy life" so I've heard many times...

I too run a Zygarde EX deck with RegirocK EX. I run mine with 2 Hawlucha (FFI) and 1 Lucario EX too and with Switch, Escape Rope in order to get the Regirock EXs out of the active position when they are Lysandre'd up for my opponent's stalling purposes.

Garchomp which would seem to overlap the Carbink line a bit, but, 'Chomps are much better attackers, IMO.

Following are some suggested changes for your consideration:

-2 Carbink
-2 Carbink BREAK
-3 Battle Compressor - not that helpful since you'll need a few turns to get Garchomp(s) setup
-2 Sky Field - not that helpful

+1 Lucario EX - solid F Pokémon with good attacks
+1 AZ / Cassius - to recover Pokémon - really helpful if you're Item-locked
+2 Focus Sash - these are essential in avoiding 1HKOs
+1 Max Potion - to help extend Pokémon's HP
+1 Professor's Letter - to help search and F energy
+3 Scorched Earth / Fighting Stadium - supplemental drawing/damage output boost support​

I hope you find these comments helpful.

Thank you very much for your input~!
I will put this to proxy this evening and see how it runs. I knew the Carbink overlapped a little bit but I was like "Ohhh New AND shiny!" just couldn't resist trying haha

Changes fixed for future reference.

Yeah I'm not much of a Carbink fan. You might want to try Gallade. I run 4 Korrina and love to vs seeker it. I love Korrina no other deck has anything like it.... Maybe sub a muscle band for 1 of the focus sashes, sometimes it's good to do just a little more damage.... Maybe look into Machamp too that's a nice little boost.

I'd go with 4 Korrina and 4 belts. With the stadiums, special energy, and regirocks, you need the 40 extra hp more than the 10 extra damage. And Korrina is such a special card, no other deck has anything like it. Good luck with this you should do alright.

Tell me please, what kind of proxies did you use to do it? Want to do the same, but not quite understand how to do it.
