Standard Tapu Bulu-GX/Lurantis-GX

[Draskk]

Strategy:

Basically this is a mini Solgaleo-Lurantis but there are some key differences:
-Tapu Bulu is a basic, therefore being easier to set up.
-We lose Solgaleo's Ultra Road which is kind of a big deal.
-Tapu Bulu can be bulked up by Aether Paradise Conservation Area (APCA) and Fighting Fury Belt, giving it effectively 250HP.
-Tapu Bulu does less damage.

Here's a list:

Pokemon (18):

3x Lurantis-GX
3x Formantis
4x Tapu Bulu-GX
2x Zoroark (Free retreat and a decent attacker in a pinch)
2x Zorua
2x Shaymin-EX
2x Tapu Lele-GX

Trainers (34):

4x Sycamore
2x N
2x Lysandre
4x Ultra Ball
3x Trainer's Mail
4x VS Seeker
2x Revitalizer
2x Float Stone
4x Fighting Fury Belt
4x APCA
3x Max Potion (We're discarding energies, with APCA and a Belt we have 250HP so we can go a bit nuts with these.)

Energy (8):

8x Basic Grass Energy

P.S. The other sneaky strategy is to make Tapu Bulu a hyper tank with it's GX attack, Max Potion, APCA, and Fury Belt. Choice Band might be better but I liked the idea of a 250HP Bulu that can heal itself

Comments please!

I saw a video from OmniPoke not too long ago with a Lurantis/Bulu list and I'm really liking the looks of it

Currently they only use 1 Bulu and tech a Sudowoodo for MRay, Volcanion, Passimian and the likes.

This list seems more focused on Lurantis than Bulu, and I'd definitely recommend running 4 Fomantis and adding in 1 or 2 of the Promo Lurantis if you plan on staying Bulu Focused. With 2 Float Stones, and being able to Flower Supply the Energy you used to retreat, I don't think needing Zoroark to switch will be necessary, and it adds another Stage 1 line to set up and causes Zorua starts. Not running Forest will mean that, going 2nd, you won't be able to Flower Supply turn 1, which is a big part of the setup for Lurantis Decks with the use of discarding energies through the likes of Sycamore and Ultra Ball.

Right now, I might suggest:

-2 Zorua
-2 Zoroark
-2 Tapu Bulu-GX
-2 APCA
-4 FFB

+1 Fomantis
+2 Lurantis Promo
+1 Hex Maniac
+3 FoGP
+3 Choice Band
+1 Field Blower
+1 Grass Energy

I'm not too entirely sure about wanting to run both Stadiums, but getting a quick Lurantis is important, and allows an instant reset if one gets knocked out by using Revitalizer.
