Standard Lycanrock gx/alolan sandslash - an itemless adventure

[swaginator5000]

With how prevalent garb seems to becoming i decided to build a list that can function without playing a single item if necessary. So here is the list:

Pokemon-13
4-rockruff
3-lycanrock gx (midnight)
3-alolan sandshrew
3-alolan sandslash

Trainers-36
3- Brooklet Hill
3-Choice Band
2-Float Stone
4-Mallow
2-N
2-Prof Sycamore
2-Prof Kukui
4-Trainers Mail
4-VS Seeker
1-Special Charge
1-Rescue Stretcher
1-Super Rod
3-Timer Ball
1-Switch
2-Field Blower
1-Enhanced Hammer

Energy-11
4-Strong Energy
4-DCE
3-Fighting Energy

I really like the Mallow/Sandslash synergy. However, Garb would be able to do some damage late game if you run 23 items.

So, your item count is pretty high, so I would suggest removing this:
4 trainers' mail
1 mallow
1 enhanced hammer
1 switch
3 timer ball
And adding this:
2 n
2 Sycamore
1 lysandre
1 rescue stretcher
4 ultra ball
(Ultra ball and rescue stretcher are for consistency)

Not sure I like this deck. I built it in TCGO and if you don't go second, you are almost guaranteed a turn 1 KO for your opponent and a quick loss. It needs another pokemon that can sit and take hits while setting up. Adding Oranguru may help. I even put in the suggestions, but Alolan Sandshrew or Sandslash got trapped and KO'd because not enough Float stones or some other way to change the active. I think the Switch is necessary. Also, I would add another Lycanroc GX possibly the Day form. This deck really needs tweaking. I will post any changes I make.

You could probably turn this into an effective disruption deck if you focused on the day form lycanroc and hammers also if your getting donked to often try more ways to get basics down tapu lele/briggete is a popular combo and if not that then level balls
