Deck Primer

The idea is simple: tank a hit with your Pidgeot V, then retreat into another Pidgeot V with full HP, use Vanishing Wings with the damaged Pidgeot and repeat ad infinitum all the while you hit with Alakazam's Dimensional Hand to slowly take prizes. In some matchups that can't output enough damage to get a OHKO, like Charizard ex, you can even ditch the Alakazam and simply stall your opponent with Pidgeot and Mimikyu until they deck out.

Mimikyu is here for the matchups that use exclusively V or ex

Mimikyu is here for the matchups that use exclusively V or ex attackers; the Miraidon matchup is an auto-loss without Dunsparce; Beach Court allows you to bump any Path to the Peak and retreat your Pidgeots without any cost; the rest of the deck I think explains itself.

Some cool adds could be V Guard Energy to have better chances against some V pokémon like Giratina VSTAR, Klefki for the Lost Zone matchup, Defiance Band or Choice Belt to hit harder with Alakazam and close some 2HKOs, and more pokémon fetch cards to make sure you have a Pidgeot at the ready every single turn.

In my testing of this deck, I can say it's actually solid and pretty fun for the stall and control enjoyers. The only rough matchups are Chien-Pao ex, Lost Zone Giratina, and some Miraidon builds. Other than that, you have a real chance against the rest of the meta. Any feedback is appreciated
