Fooling around with some ideas with Zygarde-Ex decks for the current standard format. With testing I'm not completely sold with the Fighting/Vileplume variant just yet without AZ (I know Olympia can be used and i've tested the deck with 3), so I've been trying out a Fighting/Hammers deck like the old Lucario-Ex decks of yester-year as shown below (not sure if Puzzle of Times fit or should be ditched)
  • Pokemon – 11
  • 3 Zygarde-EX
  • 3 Carbink Break
  • 3 Carbink
  • 2 Shaymin-EX

  • Energy – 10
  • 4 Strong Energy
  • 6 Fighting Energy

  • Trainers - 39
  • Supporters – 11
  • 3 Professor Sycamore
  • 3 N
  • 1 Lysandre
  • 1 Hex Maniac
  • 1 Team Flare Grunt
  • 1 Skyla
  • 1 Olympia

  • Items – 26
  • 4 Vs Seeker
  • 4 Ultra Ball
  • 4 Trainers' Mail
  • 4 Puzzle of Time
  • 4 Crushing Hammer
  • 1 Enhanced Hammer
  • 2 Max Potion
  • 1 Red Card
  • 1 Fighting Fury Belt
  • 1 Power Memory

  • Stadiums – 2
  • 1 Faded City
  • 1 Parallel City
The main question of this tread i suppose is that do we reckon hammers are all that useful in a format with Max Elixir, Special Charge, Puzzles etc? I doubt this deck with be a top tier deck, this is just an idea.

Let us know what you think
 
Nice list.

I believe the tactic of keeping energy off an opponent's Pokémon has been proven to work quite well in most cases. IMO, this is one of the "best" ways to run Zygarde EX.

I do think you might want to consider running another switching card (e.g., Escape Rope or Switch) and perhaps a Ninja Boy to provide greater flexibility.
 
Literally swapped a basic energy for an escape rope the minute after I posted this. Thanks for the help!:) always spot on
 
I would say

-1 Enhanced Hammer
-1 Red Card
-1 Faded Town

+1 FFB
+1 Parallel City
+1 Super Rod


This should maxamize your good matchups against m Rayquaza. FFB can also help there. Super rod is great for getting back energy when you are running dry on Carbink since it can be kinda slow.
