I have been experimenting with the Genesect-EX deck in Expanded, which appears to be rather solid for the current state of that format, as it can give Night March trouble (Drampa+Karen+Resistance), can be hard for Garbodor PsychicBox decks to take down and does not have many bad matchups overall (Volcanion of course but that's about it).
Right now my list has 9 Metal Energy, 2 Max Potion and 3 Professor Sycamore, however after testing and theorical thoughts I decided that I will put back the 4th Sycamore and 10th Energy, cutting both Max Potions, as they are rather situational and discarding all Metal Energy will not always be done. Putting the other two cards back mean more consistency and safer turns of attachments later on in the game.
So, here is what the changes bring the list I currently have to:
Pokemon - 16
1 Keldeo-EX BCR
4 Bronzor PHF
4 Bronzong PHF
3 Genesect-EX FCO
3 Shaymin-EX ROS
1 Drampa-GX GUR
Trainer - 34
3 Sky Field
1 Guzma
1 Hex Maniac
1 Karen
2 N
4 Professor Sycamore
3 Battle Compressor
3 Fighting Fury Belt
3 Float Stone
2 Level Ball
3 Trainers' Mail
4 Ultra Ball
4 VS Seeker
Energy - 10
10 Metal Energy
Notes: Drampa-GX is an alternate attacker and provides an easy GX attack as well as Energy disruption. Berserk is good in combination with Fighting Fury Belt and constant switching.
There are other possible Stadium cards for this deck. I believe Sky Field is the better option because you need to bench Bronzor + Shaymin-EX + Keldeo-EX as well as possibly, other Genesect-EX and Drampa-GX. It is also possible to compress away other Stadium cards once the Bench is fully set up.
What do you think of my list? What should I add or remove? I am a mostly Standard format player so there could be available cards that I've missed. I would like to know of any improvements I could make to this list.
