What do you guys think of the list? I might add a one of Lurantis GX and an extra Fomantis, but with all the switching effects I don't see the need for a backup attacker. It would be pretty weird to miss the switch for the turn. Flower Supply doesn't seem relevant as Golisopod's attack is only one Energy. I decided a Hala could be useful as Cut Cross seems like an early game GX attack, as early on you don't really want to use Guzma or Olympia. The Lurantis lines and the four choice bands make OHKOs a serious possibility-with both Lurantises and Choice Band (and the switch ofc) you are dealing 190 damage. Golisopod (non GX) is amazing against GX decks and definitely deserves a spot here. All advice is appreciated

Come on man, another deck list? I'm gonna lat out say that Golispod will be trash post rotation, but if you really want to play the deck, here are my suggestions:

Play Acerola: this card is too good for Golisopod. It's better than Max Potion because you get the switch, removing special conditions, and keep your energy. Guzma is not optimal every turn, since you HAVE to switch your opponents Pokemon, which could end up hurting you more than your opponent, since you don't get a kill on a certain Pokemon.

Olivia is bad: This card is total ass, and wasting a supporter to get Pokemon that you already have easy access to, and forces you to wait a turn to use a Lele you may grab with it just isn't good. I'd play more item support, like Heavy Ball or something.

I wouldn't play Lurantis, since FoGP rotating also hurts this aspect of the deck as well, I'd probably stick to a super consistent, partial energy disruption build, and embrace the 2 hit KO.

I do like Hala in this deck, and you already made your point on that. I also like the baby Golisopod, and no one listens to me when I tell them, "you play DCE anyway for the GX attack, plus it's a non-GX one prize attacker that OHKO's things, so you SHOULD play it", and, since you DO play DCE for the GX attack, it's not out of the question for you to use the second attack, which would also benefit from an energy disruption Golisopod build. And Energy disruption will be really good against the Gardevoir meta, when they can't OHKO you, and you constantly switch/ heal. Actually, I might build a Golisopod deck, I changed my mind about it being trash.

But as always, I don't really disagree with your list, so you do a good job at pleasing me.
