2 Tapu Lele (GUR)

1 Pokemon Fan Club
3 Choice Band
3 Beast Ring

Deck Strategy

The idea is to start with buzzwole gx or latias (at least baby buzzwole, hopefully not zoura/lele), and putting early pressure and spreading damage to set up KOs with Zoroark.
The great thing of this deck in my opinion is the weakness coverage, you can play it according to what you face. Buzzwole offers the possibility to OHKO (which is always good).
 
I like the list and I thought about this archetype also. The only thing I would want to find room for is maybe one more baby buzz. But I don’t know what I would want to cut for that. Thank you for making this list as it keeps coming up in my head.
 
Maybe can replace 1 buzz gx with 1 baby buzz, and one fighting energy with beast energy
 
I was thinking about the list, and i'm not sure about cutting fighting energies, moreover beast energy is really occasional, there is no way to pull it out of the deck other than drawing (i know zoroark helps). Also is not that useful for hitting key numbers, thus I won't play it. Not sure about the buzz/baby buzz ratio
 
baby buzzwole 1st attack is so situational that the probability to have choice band, beast energy and diancie is pretty low. moreover at the moment you can use baby buzzwole first attack you had already spread lots of damage with jet punch and latios hopefully.
 
The changes I made so far are:

- 1 buzzwole GX
- 1 fan club
- 1 pal pad

+ 1 baby buzzwole
+ 1 lillie
+ 1 beast energy *


still not sure on that beast energy, seems too situational to me. Also I don't know is the buzzwole ratio is good, the gx should be the main, while the baby just a tech, however the latter is increasingly convincing me.
