Strategy:
I haven't played the TCG in a long time, the last deck I remember is Scizor/Beedrill with Pluspower. So I kind of flipped my lid seeing Muscle Band.
I had a look at the recent translation of the new set and liked the look of Florges EX, so I searched for some Grass Pokemon and with it's success, quite obviously came across Virizion/Genesect.
I'm not sure if this is worth looking into but I thought I'd give it a shot.
The basic idea is to use Virizion/Genesect while having Florges EX as another hard hitter dealing up to 140 with a Muscle Band. Gogoat was added to KO Pyroar with a Muscle Band instead of Beartic as it still keeps the number of Grass Pokemon high and at a first glance Leafeon wont be KOing Pyroar all that often even with the Muscle Band. The 1-1 Floette was added to increase Virizion/Genesect's durability while increasing the Fairy count for Florges. Below I have including the text for the new cards:


Florges-EX - Fairy - HP160
Basic Pokemon

[Y] Lead: Search your deck for a Supporter card, reveal it, and put it into your hand.
[Y][C] Bright Garden: 20x damage. Does 20 damage times the number of [G] and [Y] Pokemon you have in play.

When a Pokemon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Weakness: Metal (x2)
Resistance: Darkness (-20)
Retreat: 2

Xerosic – Trainer
Supporter

Choose 1 Special Energy or Pokemon Tool from either your Pokemon or your opponent's Pokemon and discard it.

You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn (before your attack).


Was just looking for an idea of if the Florges side of this deck is actually worth it or not.
I searched for some of the Dragon/Dark/Fighting cards that will be weak to Fairy but I can't see many of them I believe will be popular, leading me to believe this wont really go anywhere.
I'd rather have asked than not know though I suppose ^_^
 
Actually Beartic would be better because:

1. It one shots Pyroar with it's first attack without any tools attached to it.
2. Beartic takes 2 colorless energy which can be fulfilled with grass or dce.

I see why you'd take Gogoat because of Florges' attack you want grass pokemon, but if you're using it for pyroar and gogoat has a fire weakness . . .
I think Florges would have a better place in an Aromatisse deck however.
I do like this variation of a VirGen deck. Good job!
