Hey all!

Been awhile since I've been in the loop of things and I'm always hesitant to dive straight into a rotation on it's way out so thought I'd start brain storming for 2019. Electric Power has me pretty hyped for some electric types and I thought Zeraora could be a pretty strong lead:

*Pokemon* - 12
Zeraora GX- 4
Shuckle - 2
Zoroark GX- 4 (2-2)
Tapu Lele GX- 1
Magearna - 1

*Items* - 25
Super Scoop Up - 2
Electric Power - 4
Choice Band - 3
Energy Recycler - 1
Order Pad - 2
Nest Ball - 2
Ultra Ball - 4
Pal Pad - 1
Thunder Mountain - 1
Counter Gain - 2
EXP Share - 2
Rescue Stretcher - 1

*Supporters* - 15
Pokemon Fan Club - 1
Hala - 3
Guzma - 3
Tate and Liza - 3
Cynthia - 4
Lisia - 1

*Energy*
Lightning Energy - 8

Total - 60

Strategy:
TURN 1 GX - It seems a lot of the current meta is losing a lot of energy acceleration this rotation. (Buzzwole/Max Elixirs.) New Shuckle will allow us to discard energy just like the good old days of Battle Compressor. The plan would be to get Shuckle in hand with Ultra Ball (if I could discard an extra energy here then great) or Fan Club, play it to discard energy from deck, then GX to place them on my 'Mons.

Keep the momentum - Since energy acceleration is a burst it's all normal after that. We need a way to make the most value out of what we've placed. Counter Gain is entirely situational but EXP share could be useful. It isn't ideal to have EXP share on an active, thus Magearna earns her spot. Could help with placing a Counter Gain correctly also.

Damage - Electric Power is awesome and gives us more than a Choice Band to get the magic 190, but also let's us reach that 210 pretty reasonably. Zoroark will help us thin to and our Draw Supporters are all shuffle to help us keep Electric Power until we need it.

Open to suggestions!
