Today I bring back an old archetype, revived with a new card from the Sun and Moon set - Aquabox with Lapras-GX! With strong matchups and a very nice toolbox to go along with it, Lapras seems to be the last piece of the puzzle to potentially take this archetype back to the top tables! Enjoy!

I think it would be a good idea to add 1 Pokémon Center Lady to help healing your Lapras GX and also to remove paralyze/sleep which kinda stops your deck's strategy.

If you are going to run ninja boy, it could be smart to as well run a tauros gx

Ahhh Aquabox. My favorite.
First of all. I don´t know about Lapras. Like at all. Many people consider it a good card. The only thing i see is the extra draw. If you have a mobile deck you can just switch after you dished out 160 but you gotta build up 2 pokemon then.

So what i suggest:
Definietly put in Palkia EX. Trust me. It helps so much. Especially when you start with it. And your deck is heavy on the set up.
So remove one Lapras. (i don´t think you need 3. Maybe even only 1 is enough).
I would get rid of the Articuno. Again. When you have a very mobile deck it´s a good choice due to the extra Price and stalling some time. But also not consistent bcs of Coin Flips.

So yeah definietly give Palkia a look.
Also look at Regice from AOR. That thing alone together with Glaceon gives most opponent decks a hard time.

So what i would do:
-Energy Switch (you can keep one or 2. 3 is to much. Especially because you don´t have Palkia or Gyarados yet)
-at least 2 Ultra Ball´s But thats personal prefrence. I like to play with a kinda full hand. So i go with Dive Ball´s only because. And here comes a ballsy move
-Shaymin. Both of them. I don´t really think you´ll need em. I played without and was pretty fine.
+Palkia ( i run 3 in my deck)
+maybe 2nd Glaceon
+2 Regice
+more Ninja boy. 1-2. Like i said. We want your deck to be super mobile. So the plan is that you can just do what ever you like. When ever you like. Get Pokémon with out draw back with Dive Ball. Switch in what ever you like with Ninja Boy. So you can just build with Palkia what ever you got on the bench. Use the Ninja Boy to get what ever you need in the situation in it´s place. And have no retreat thnx to Manaphy
+Center Lady is prob a good Idea. Have to give Hyakko credit there.
+What ever DMG you like if you want. Tauros is probably a really good call in these deck´s that go with Ninja Boy.

So yeah. My style of Deck Building might be a bit odd. But it´s only a suggestion. Its super fun that much i can tell you. Once the deck is rolling it´s hard to stop it.

Have fun
