Question:
Are you going to run Elm's Lecture when it is released? I think it could really help this deck early game!

Great deck by the way! I'll have to try it some time.

Hmm... Just to balance your deck a little more:

+ 1 Zorua
+ 1 Zoroark GX

A 2-2 line is very thin, if you prized 1 you may have only one Zoroark for the whole game.

Also +1 Ultra Ball. I think you just need 4.

I would cut:
- 1 Judge (3 should be enough)
- 1 Copycat (3 should be enough)
- 1 Choice Band (again, 3 should be enough)

You're playing 11 draw supporters now. For a Zoroark deck, that's quite a lot. I think 9 is still quite high, given your thinner Zoroark line that the usual 4-4 it's okay I guess.

7 grass is also quite a lot. I've seen lists playing only 3, I guess 4 should be enough. Maybe add in 3 or 4 Nest Balls, and - 1 Pokemon Fan Club? Maybe it's just me, but I like to play another supporter T1 over Pokemon Fan Club. But I understand you need your basics T1.

I think I would. I was just reading Elm's Lecture effect and thought it would work like Brigette in some of my decks (Zoroark ones XD).

I apply your suggestion. Also I cut -1 Cynthia for a +1 Guzma
