Standard M Gardevoir-EX / Xerneas BREAK

[DaziePants]

I'm sure you've all seen a similar deck like this before, this is just my current rendition of what I run IRL and in PTCGO. The basic strategy is the same; Ideally start with Xerneas and use him to power up your other Pokémon, then using Giratina or Gardevoir to deal damage depending on what you're up against. Also I would put in another Giratina and maybe drop the Xerneas Breaks but I only have the one copy of Giratina at this current point in time.

Anyway I'd be happy to know what you all think and what changes you'd suggest

In what you are trying to achieve in this deck, I think you would be better off with making the list a Giratina/Xerneas deck.

My thoughts
Pokemon:
+1-2 Giratina EX (more lock potential and more DDE targets)
-2 Gardevoir EX
-2 M Gardevoir-EX (its attack is the same as Xerneas BREAK, but takes an extra turn to evolve, gives 2 prizes and takes more energy. Also takes up space and cuts consistency)
+2 Xerneas BREAK (this is your new main attacker)
+1 Xerneas(need 4 basic for 4 break)
-1 Hoopa EX (unnecessary if you don'd run Gardevoir)
+2-3 Shaymin EX (draw power and speed)

Items:
+1 N (better than Judge)
-2 Gardevoir Spirit Link (don't need them anymore)
-1 Pokemon Fan Club (only need 1. Could cut both if you don't use them)
-1 Town Map (unnecessary)
-1 Judge (replaced by N)
+2 Ultra Ball (bumping up to 4 is better for meta decks)
+1 VS Seeker (more consistent and better
**Optional** +2-4 Acro Bike (speed and digging)

Energy:

+1 Double Dragon energy (+2 if you choose to run 3 Giratina)( energy acceleration)

These are my thoughts, so take it with a grain of salt,
