My take on the Ancient Box deck with a few different formalities. Hisuian Heavy Ball can be used to find attackers/Greninja if they are prized. Night Stretcher and Sada's Vitality is a very strong combo to accelerate two energy to attack (or to draw two with Concealed Cards). Also feels really good when you lose a Roaring Moon and want to set it right back up on your bench!
Slither Wing can be used to OHKO Pokemon like Iron Hands (attack x2 does 240, IH 230 HP).
Changes that could be made: Walking

Changes that could be made: Walking Wake -2 -> Flutter Mane +2 or Ultra Ball +2 (For more ancient discarding)
Walking Wake -2 Boss's Orders -1 -> Pokestop +1 Counter Catcher +2
Secret Box can be interchanged for Awakening Drum if you want more draw power and +10 Vengeance Fletching damage.
Comment your thoughts, please! Would love feedback!

Edit: Removed Walking Wake in favor of Counter Catchers. After playing this at a tournament I realized I needed more gusts, especially against the strong decks like charizard or lugia. Also removed Hand Trimmer to add another copy of pokestop so you either have a higher chance of getting it or you can HOPEFULLY not have all 3 prized.
