What's up everyone. This is my first time ever writing a deck list on this website. I created this deck for the next rotation and I can use a little help. It's seems to be slow and I test the deck at my local league and went 2-2. So here it is
POKEMON:
x4 xerneas ( rainbow force)
x2 zorua
x2 zorark Rush in ability
x2 shaymin ex
x1 pikachu
x1 raichu
x1 remioraid
x1 octillary
x1 jynx
x1 carbink safeguard
x1 jirachi stardust

SUPPORTERS:
x3 sycamore
x2 bridgett
x1 N
x1 hex maniac
x1 lysandre

TRAINERS:
x3 trainers mail
x3 ultraball
x4 vs seeker
x4 max elixir
x2 float stone
x3 fighting furry belt
x3 sky field
x1 superrod

ENERGY :
x4 DCE
x8 fairy energy

Any help or advice is appreciated.
 
Hello, King Groudon! Your deck looks pretty good, but I would recommend switching out some of the Pokemon, as I think you may have too many different strategies that aren't needed.

Zorua and Zoroark aren't crucial to this deck, so I'd recommend getting rid of one of each, then adding 2 Ns, as I feel like you need more draw Supporters.

I like how you have Shaymin-EXs in this deck, but you also have Octillery, which is very similar to Shaymin-EX. If you could, I'd recommend getting rid of the Remoraid and Octillery and putting in another Shaymin-EX and another dual-type: Volcanion-EX (Fire/Water). Volcanion-EX is a nice dual-type as it doesn't require an evolution. However, if you don't feel like getting rid of Octillery, I'd recommend finding room (possibly getting rid of 1 Shaymin-EX and Hex Maniac) so you can add in a Ninetails, because keeping your Sky Field in is very crucial (I'd get rid of Hex Maniac because it also shuts down Ninetails' ability).

Sky Field is much more needed than Fighting Fury Belts, so I'd replace a Fighting Fury Belt with a Sky Field.

You have a little too many energies in my opinion, so I'd replace a fairy energy with a Super Rod so you can get more Pokemon/Energies back.

Overall, I'd change...

-1 Zorua
-1 Zoroark
+2 N
-1 Shaymin-EX
-1 Hex Maniac
+1 Vulpix
+1 Ninetails (PRC 21)
-1 Fighting Fury Belt
+1 Sky Field
-1 Fairy Energy
+1 Super Rod

This is a really nice deck, and I hoped I helped you a bit!
