Standard Lunala/Lunala GX

I've had some success with this in a couple of different forms both online and in local play. Currently I'm playing with a couple of Mewtwo EX from BKT, but I'm expecting those to rotate out in August. I'm thinking about moving baby Lunala into more of an attacker role rather than a 1 of and swapping the Mewtwo's for Drampa GX. Let me know what you think.

##Pokémon - 14

* 2 Drampa-GX
* 1 Oranguru
* 4 Cosmog
* 2 Cosmoem
* 2 Lunala
* 2 Lunala-GX
* 1 Tapu Lele-GX G

##Trainer Cards - 34

* 3 Hala
* 1 Acerola
* 3 N/Wicke
* 1 Olivia
* 3 Choice Band
* 2 Rare Candy
* 1 Switch
* 2 Guzma
* 1 Pokemon Fan Club
* 1 Brock's Grit
* 4 Ultra Ball
* 4 Max Elixir
* 2 Altar of the Moone
* 1 Field Blower
* 2 Max Potion
* 3 Professor Sycamore

##Energy - 12

* 12 Psychic Energy

I like Acerola, getting the effect of multiple Lele's if I need it. or healing a drampa to deny prizes.

Ilima is straight-up outclassed by N, which is more consistent in giving you the cards you need in the early game. Ilima relies on coin flips to be successful and you don't want the possibility of your opponent getting 6 cards while you get 3. Late-game, N can disrupt a winning opponent's hand and can prevent you from decking out in a pinch. In case you're wondering, N's latest reprint was in Fates Collide, a pack very likely to be saved from rotation.

I wouldn't use Hala unless the deck has a GX attack that has to be used ASAP. Drop that one too.

Since this is a stage 2 deck, you might as well max out on the Rare Candies. Or you can use 3 Rare Candies and add in Alolan Vulpix to search out missing pieces of the Lunala family.

Fighting Fury Belt is better suited for basic-heavy decks and this isn't one. Drop it for a third Choice Band.

Thanks for the feedback, for some reason I keep thinking that N is getting rotated, so I generally think Ilima instead!

What do you think about N vs Wicke?

the FFB were from an old deck list and I forgot to swap them, changes made there!

One reason I like to keep Hala in this deck is for card recycling instead of discard. Being so stage 2 heavy means I burn through the deck pretty quickly. Hala/Ilima have been huge in the late game keeping my deck alive.

Also, I think adding in an Olivia would help with getting the last pieces of the Lunala line/an extra Drampa. I'm not really sold on the drampa, though.

I made some edits and see how it looks! thanks again!
 
I believe decks are going to have to play two or more Tapu Lele GX from the rotation on. Either we rely on getting the supporters we need at the right time through Lele, or we just start playing higher counts of supporters (i.e. 4 Sycamore, 4 N, 4 Hala). I would much rather prefer playing more Lele and use the slots in the deck better.
