Hello all, I have been thinking of a fun but competitive deck to put together for after the rotation. If there is any recommendations feel free to send them my way, I am trying to keep the cost down but can be flexible if need be. I have made proxies for the deck and have been playing solitaire, it has been pretty consistent in set up and I feel like I have a lot of my bases covered for what is an unknown Meta.

Scizor GX with a Frying pan feels like it is invincible, it hits for a respectable amount given that it is taking less damage per turn. Banette GX allows free play of Rainbow Energy and it hits for that useful type advantage. I have put in both Tapu Lele's to be able to hit for either weakness. Fairy with a band and the movement of damage counters hits for the magic number against that new fearsome Rayquazza GX with a 1 prize trade off. Celesteela is very situational but given the right circumstance it should have the ability to shift a game back my way.

This has been an enjoyable deck to think about and put together. I welcome any and all feedback.
 
I would suggest taking out a Guzma and put in 1 Hala. I know it may not seem useful, but when you're in the situation where it is, you'll be glad you have it.
 
Okay, newbie sort of question but why the inclusion of the Celesteela? I understand attacking for 1 when you have 6 prizes left, but that's SO HEAVILY situational and otherwise it's an alright tank, but I'd rather just do 2 Dusk Mane promos. Otherwise, this deck is going in my box of first decks to try. Y'know, once I get ahold of the banette gx's irl or pull all of the stuff on Friday. These 2 and Stakataka GX and possibly Shiftry GX are my main focuses for this set. Thanks for the beautiful list. *Follows verily*
