Strategy
My strategy here is to get the non-EX Xerneas out first and start using Geomancy as fast as possible to start attaching Fairy Energy for the Abilities of both Aromatisse and Slurpuff to take effect. Mr. Mime is there to protect the two from bench damage. I've got Tool Scrappers to counter Garbodor with Garbotoxin. I've also got Fairy Garden to take away from retreat cost of all my Fairy Types. Muscle Band is there for more damage from Xerneas EX seeing as how he is the main attacker in this deck. Any suggestions as to changes I can make?

Hi LoneWolf2113,

Nice deck. Consider to loose Slurpuff and Double Colorless Energy. With four Xerneas non-ex you can afford to sacrifice one early for another turn of Geomancy to get enought energies on the field. Also run some Level Ball since the entire assistance line can be searched out with it. Two Max Potion would be nice too.

Consider this trainer line:

TRAINER (36):

1 Dowsing Machine / Scoop Up Cyclone
3 Prof. Juniper
3 Shauna
2 Colress
3 Skyla
3 N
3 Ultra Ball
3 Level Ball
3 Hyponotoxic Laser
3 Muscle Band
2 Super Rod
2 Tool Scrapper
2 Max Potion
3 Fairy Garden

Max Potion is always nice in Energy Transfer decks. Two should suffice here. Since you run Muscle band you might as well go ahead and give the deck an option to ohko with Hyponotoxic Laser. Two super Rod were needed at least in my version to retrieve lost stuff. Skyla is a good search card and can get you the item card or supporter you need at the time. since this is akin to a setup deck Skyla seems viable. Last but not least the Ace Spec. I personally like Dowsing Maschine the most but if your meta-game is less focused on ohkos you can also experiment with Scoop Up Cyclone in this deck. However, my recommendation would still be Dowsing Maschine because it is more versatile.

For Pokémon I would loose the entire Slurpuff line and run either Keldeo Ex, or Virizion Ex. The choice is a matter of preference but affects the energy choice. With Keldeo Ex only run basic energy since you can retieve it with ease. Virizion Ex is better in case status is big in your area but he needs 4 Prism Energy. Both Pokémon take up less deck space and allow you to run more useful trainers. I personally like Keldeo Ex more since he works with Basic Energy. also loose one Xerneas Ex for a fourth Xerneas non-Ex since the deck wants to start with the non-Ex.

In essence the Pokémon line would look like this:

POKEMON (13):

3 Xerneas EX
4 Xerneas
2 Aromatisse
2 Spritzee
1 Keldeo Ex
1 Mr. Mime

That would be a stable pure fairies deck from our test runs. You can also consider to run one Mewtwo Ex instead of one Xerneas Ex. Mewtwo ex can be nice in mirror matches or to take out Yveltal Ex. However he can backfire when faced with Plasma or Blastoise and Emboar.

Hope this helps.
