Heya!! With the drop of Crimson Invasion, I also participated in my first tournament, where I won a super awesome League promo of Raichu from Burning Shadows stamped with Third Place, as well as a few Crimson Invasion packs, from which I pulled Nihilego GX!! It let me finish my Tsareena build, with a few tweaks. Here's the list!!
Pokémon: 16
3 Tsareena GX
4 Steenee SuMo Base
4 Bounsweet SuMo Base
1 Nihilego GX
2 Virizion EX
1 Lurantis Promo
1 Fomantis SuMo Base

Energy: 12
2 DCL
10 Grass

Trainers: 32
1 Brigette
2 Pokémon Fan Club
3 Colress
3 Professor Kukui
3 Roller Skates
1 Choice Band
2 Muscle Band
1 Gladion
3 Super Scoop Up
1 Lillie
2 Timer Ball
2 Level Ball
3 AZ
4 Forests of Giant Plants (Not banned locally)
1 Brock's Grit


So the premise of the deck is to use Virizion for fast and easy energy, and Brigette for fast and easy build up. Pokémon Fan Club lets me put Nihilego in my hand, rather than directly on my bench, so that I can use it's ability to confuse my opponents. With Virizion, my Pokémon can't be confused or poisoned, so I am immune. That confusion allows Tsareena to hit for 180, 200 with Muscle band, (Will be 210 with some more choice band), 220 with Lurantis, 240 with Kukui, 250 after poison. Not too bad, though I strive to hit a bit harder. Deck space has been a huge issue, and if it becomes an issue, Lurantis will be the first to go. Thanks for reading, and hopefully you respond, because I am very proud of this deck, and hope to hear some improvements I can make!!
 
Just curious, is there a reason as to why people seem to use rotated cards like az or prof. juniper over their standard version, like acerola or prof. sycamore? (I know az is a bit different than acerola, but still) And I would suggest running more nihilego since that's one that you'll want more consistency with to keep playing it as you need it, hence the az and super scoop up are good for that purpose as well. Sorry, but I haven't looked at the list close enough though to make edit suggestions yet (trying to multitask, which I can't...hehe). I love the idea though and am very interested in where this might go!!

I use AZ over Acerola because it is unlikely for Nihilego to have any damage counters on it. I use Juniper because I like her better. haha...
I do have another Nihilego in mind, and I know I need two. I plan to get another. Thanks for your feedback, and I'm eager to hear more ideas!!

Ahh, makes sense! and I'll admit, I love juniper better too haha. What were you thinking of switching the new nihilego for?
