Main strategy:
This deck is designed around three things: amassing damage and special conditions, forcing retreat and buffing Honchkrow's Raven Claw attack.

Espeon and Toxapex apply damage with special conditions that force out a heal like Big Malasada and PCL, or force a retreat. If they do not, confusion damage can either slow things down or deliver free damage, and Toxapex poison attack will kill most things in two turns.

If you can apply damage with either Toxapex GX attack and/or two poison attacks in consecutive turns, Honchkrow's Raven's Claw can do 210 - 260 damage. Even if you went Espeon attack, retreat to Toxapex for poison attack, retreat to Umbreon Strafe to pull up Honchkrow, his attack would do 170 (or 200 with a choice band).

Basically, within 2-3 turns of getting set-up, Honchkrow could be OHKO-ing anything, and you wouldn't even need your GX's back in the active for the rest of the game. Supporters are designed to pull the best OHKO targets forward and strand them there with no energy. Also, Trainer list is designed with low Item card counts in anticipation of Trashalanche decks.
