SM7a 'Fairy Rise' Announced!

Hi, you seem to be overrating a card, while underrating another.
Consider:
Dunsparce requires you to attach an energy, and attack.
It cannot be done turn1.

If Buzzwole goes second, it OHKOs Dunsparce, before it does anything.
For one energy.
and, unlike Zoroark, it will be running many basic energy; making this objectively more reliable than Dunsparce.

Also Consider:
What are you moving to the active, to replace Dunsparce?
You can't move a Zorua, because again, it will be OHKO'd.

Assuming Latios, that means your counter is taking free damage, and you still get the 30 to the bench.
You will not be OHKOing Buzzwole-GX...
and Buzzwole can Guzma up a Zorua, OHKO it, while KOing the other one you placed 30 damage on.

Also, also:

I said, Psychic, or tech Psychic attacker.
Which is correct.

Here in Tord's list, we can see he is running Mew-EX:

Also, how did we get to talking about dunsparce as a new Bridgette in a fairy chat?
 
Vespiquen looks decent to be honest with Lurantis on the bench and Choice Band attached. Combee even allows the deck to set up a little faster. Net Ball looks decent too. A nice addition to the Grass search arsenal.
 
Combee - Water Duplicates on a Basic. Only complaint is the pitiful HP. ●●●●○

Vespiquen - Pretty awkward, but that's a lot of damage considering we have Lurantis to boost it, and Parallel is rotating. A big problem for it though is if it ever becomes a serious threat, people can just tech Sudowoodo and wall it. ●●●○○

Net Ball - It's better than Nest Ball for grass types, but having to bench it and being able to search for an energy are pretty pointless right now, but maybe there will be a use in the future? Right now, it's just nest ball but technically better for grass decks. ●●●○○
 
Actually not bad with Parallel out of the format. This could be a really good deck with Lurantis Promo and (maybe) Leafeon.
 
Looks like fun if there's another grass support Pokémon in the set. Right now all we have is Flippety Flap Shaymin and Sunny Day Lurantis to help beef it, but that's perhaps not enough, even though 3 Lurantis + Choice band is 190 which could be pretty nice (but difficult to do, especially in an Evosoda-less format).
 
It would've been awesome if Net Ball read "G or W Pokémon" like I thought it would, so it could pair with Unit Energy and make some very interesting things.
Vespiquen and Combee? Eh.
 
Definitely your poor man's League Cup pick. If you don't have access to Lele, (which should no longer be a problem), this deck would be right for you. I actually like the cards themselves and Net Ball is a very good card. I think VirGen players (whichever few there are left) in Expanded will rejoice. Pack a few of these in there and you no longer need to worry about discarding precious resources while helping you pull off that T1 Emerald Slash.

Whoa, this actually sounds kinda fun.
 
I don't know what you all are taking about. I see potential. Single energy, one prize stage 2 two shotting everything im the format. Lurantis promo with choice band one shots leles. It could be a decent partner for decidueye for a fun deck. I'd play the stadium that eleminates bench damage, maybe some bbdumbelss for Zoroark.
 
Omfg Vespiquen is back...and it's just ok.

Net Ball is objectively good but I personally hate type exclusive search cards that have no discard requirements, as I think they are low-key broken.

EDIT: Nvm it only searches for a basic, so that makes it a lot more balanced, almost to the point of being useless, since there is this thing called Nest Ball. In Standard, it could be played in VikaBulu though, as it searches either Bulu or a grass energy in case you whiff one of them.

Vespiquen with Shiftry could be a very good deck, with full bench and without parallel in format.

Net ball for Vika-Bulu deck will be necessary think of the rotation of heavy ball,
