A basic deck that i had to tech against Pyroar/fire decks, since they are a few i play against. Abomasnow carries this deck through those matches pretty well. 1 got me 4 prizes in my last match on 2 Mewtwo EX with some clever plays. Along with my own Mewtwo Ex, they both cover the standard fighting decks pretty well. Plasma Frigate also helped me in a few tight spots in Mewtwo wars and VS fire.

  • 7 Grass Energy
    3 Electric Energy
    4 Plasma Energy
Strategy:
Basic VirGen deck with a "shocking" twist (yeah...). Mega Manectric Ex covers Yveltal and Pyroar pretty well. Both of which Genesect can struggle against. Plasma Frigate and Virizion protect Manectric from status and weakness. Manectric provides Genesect with much needed energy late game.

My hopes to be able to hit a good stride of G Booster into Turbo Bolt and then back into another G booster.

Tool Retrieval works so well for this deck. Moves around spirit link, removes Hyper Gear, can allow me to reposition G booster on a different Genesect, or put it back in hand to protect it from a Startling Megaphone when not in use.

I need to figure out how to fit in 1 more VS Seeker without hurting my draw support.
Do i really need 4 Virizion for this deck or is 3 fine?
3 switching cards or 2? I did need 3 with Mewtwo and Abomasnow.
2 or 3 energy switch? I really like 3 to conserve energy, but now its not as important.
Will i need Mr Mime? Will Landorus EX still be worth teching against?

Any other suggestions?
 
I'd suggest you find room for a fourth Skyla. Maximizing Skyla makes it to where you can pull those really important tools, specifically G Booster and Manectric Spirit Link, out of your deck during any point in the game. It just feels like Skyla is never a bad Supporter to play for turn in this deck.
 
Run a single Dragonite; it won't really be expected, and can hit slightly harder than the other stuff. It would be good for finishing off games.
 
I'll try a 4th skyla. Though i dont know what to drop. Either Mr. Mime or Virizion, but idk if i like the 1 out of 9/10 odds of starting with Jirachi.
 
I dropped Mr Mime for another VS Seeker. It seems pretty good so far but i haven't tested it enough.
