Strategy:

This deck consists in hitting hard with Zygarde attacks equiped with Fury Belt + Strong Energies + Regirock Ability. It runs Hoopa, Shaymin and Scorched Earth in order to set up ASAP. Carbink BREAK can be used to lock opponent's EXs or as energy accelerator/retrive. I've been liking this list, however feel others should test it out in order to provide feedback.

With the pending rotation and the loss of Korrina, I've found running Steven to be useful. You may also find that running 1 Eco Arm to get discarded Tools (especially Fighting Fury Belt) will be helpful too.

Further, Regirock EX becomes more of a liability, especially end game when you've depleted resources to get it back to the bench. You may want to also consider incorporating a Ninja Boy in order to exchange a less expensive Retreat Cost Pokémon with Regirock EX.

Lastly, why Sky Field Stadium which would fuel an opponent's capability to 1HKO your Zygarde EX with their Zoroark?

Skyfield is pretty fun in this deck to flood the field with regirock, hoopa and shaymin. Makes setting up really easy. Then you can bump it with scorched earth and get rid of shaymins and hoopas. As for the Zoroark argument, you just wouldn't play it down. Hitting for weakness would probably make regirock unnecessary anyway. If Zoroark is a partner in a different type of deck, you can take it out early and then fill your bench up as much as you like.

This isn't too bad of a list. Though if I may give consideration, I would opt to check out the Zygarde-EX/Vileplume lists that float around. They still hit hard, but are more passive aggressive as they try to slow down an opponent's strategy with a T1 Item Lock. Now that Toad and Trevenant is gone, Vileplume (and Hoothoot) is the only real Item Lock threat. Unfortunately, thanks to Forest of Giant Plants, that threat is a good one. The FightingPlume list that's been seen drops the liability (Regirock-EX) and other key factors to make room for the Vileplume set up.

One problem with fighting plume: if your opponent decides to tech in one wobbufet (like I do) all your doing with vileplume is item locking yourself. Not many people will tech in a wobbufet but if a huge rise in plume decks happen then they'll be everywhere. Just something to look out for.

hope this helps

Also Because Vileplume is no longer that good post rotation as you cannot AZ use items then slam it down at the end of your turn. Also i reccomend more ways to retreat your pokemon particularly your regirocks as 2 float stones and a switch wont cut it. Ninja Boy is a good supporter for reasons above though im not to sure about Max elixers hitting more then one is fairly unlikely and could be replaced with more useful cards.
