is a max potion a good option for this deck?
what would you remove out of it or add and why?

RE: VirGen/Beartic

You should add in a fourth Virizion EX because it is a great pokemon to start with in this deck. You could also add in Mr. Mime to protect your benched pokemon. I would also consider adding a second shadow triad. You could also consider adding Jirachi EX so you could stellar guindence for skyla and then skyla for G booster, its a great combo.

Cards you could get ride of would be team flare grunt, a grass energy, and 1-2 switch, possibly a proffesors letter because you want more grass energy in the deck for when you emerald slash with Virizion EX.

I love VirGen decks, and your list looks very good. Here are my recommendations:
-1 TFG (This card, while it might be good in certain situations, will not always be used, and it takes up space which is better devoted to something else)
-1 Switch (3 Switch is plenty, plus Virizion and Genesect have a retreat of 1, so that's fine)
-1 Ultra Ball (4 Ultra Ball is too many. The only card you ever need to really search is Genesect EX, or Mr. Mime, or possibly Cubchoo/Beartic)
-1 Colress Machine (This is counter-intuitive in some situations, since Genesect's ability only activates when attaching from the hand. I know it accelerates energy a little, but there's no point in just running 1)
-1 Colress (This card is being replaced by an N which is better early game and provides late game comebacks)
-1 Town Map (This card is good in VirGen decks, but you should only run it if you have the extra room, which you really don't)

+1 N (As stated above, replacing Colress)
+1 Shadow Triad (You want 2 of these guys, mainly to retrieve G-Booster, but getting back a Genesect EX into play, or even a plasma energy then attaching to Genesect for a catcher is nice)
+1 Virizion EX (Having 4 of this card is almost a must since this is the only card you want to start with)
+1 Mr. Mime (this card is awesome since is really helps in the Landorus matchup, and it swings the mirror match in your favor)
+2 Max Potion (This card is amazing in this deck. Essentially, after a G-booster, you discard the 2 energy, take a lot of damage from your opponent, then retreat into a Virizion, possibly energy switch, then max potion the Genesect, Emerald Slash, then next turn, Bam! A Fresh Genesect hitting for 200. It's insanely good)

That's about all I'd change though, as the list is very solid.
Best of luck!

Wow thanks for the advice guys!

Ill try the 2 max potion and add a 4th virizion. I dont know about jirachi.. easy 2 prize cards.

Thanks again!

I also play this deck and I think laserbank is great if you find six spots for it. It allows Virizion EX to hit 2hko levels damage on popular EX cards. Muscle band 20 + 50 + 30 from laserbank is 100 on your turn 2. They also dramatically improve your pyroar matchup.

I don't like lasers in here because I think the math is just fine the way it is. Emerald Slash with Muscle Band sets up Genesect to KO those 170 HP EX's. And Genesect can take another two prizes with G Booster. That's ideally what would happen. It's easier that way because all you need is a Muscle Band as opposed to Muscle Band plus Virbank and Laser. This looks very close to the list I would play if I were to play this deck, but I can make a few suggestions:

-1 Team Flare Grunt; Not a competitive Supporter.
-1 Professor's Letters; I feel like this is more of a one-of.
+1 Skyla; 4 Skyla because Skyla for G Booster is almost always a good investment of your Supporter for turn.
+1 N

I added a 4th virizion
I play only one max potion
Dropped the team flare grunt
But still have 2 professors letter because when you dont draw an energy,
You almost always have the letter or skyla it.
I once had it in the price cards so i think two is a must to always get an energy when you start up virizion

If you are playing against that many Yveltal-Darkrai decks, then I'd suggest you consider replacing your entire Beartic line with Raichu (XY) which would serve as a counter to the Yveltals, as well as Pyroars (if they do show up).
