Deck Primer

This deck was made as a challenge to use GX Pokemon as the main core of the deck!

You know the whole combo with Vaporeon and Misty & Lorelei to spam GX attacks every turn? Yeah, I decided to make a deck about that. However, since I'm not running around with any Liepard shenanigans, I can afford to run far more consistency options! Honchkrow-GX is the main "attacker" here, as it has a super annoying restrictive ability, and its Unfair GX attack is well... unfair,

This deck was made as a challenge to use GX Pokemon as the main core of the deck!

You know the whole combo with Vaporeon and Misty & Lorelei to spam GX attacks every turn? Yeah, I decided to make a deck about that. However, since I'm not running around with any Liepard shenanigans, I can afford to run far more consistency options! Honchkrow-GX is the main "attacker" here, as it has a super annoying restrictive ability, and its Unfair GX attack is well... unfair, as it lets you remove 2 cards from your opponents hand after searching through it! That way you can just remove any vital pieces they may have in their hand and make them scramble for options. If they ever get to be too much in the prize race, use Naganadel-GX to set both players' Priz Cards to 3 and keep the match going. A combination of Grant and Exeggcute also make sure you never have to worry about Misty & Lorelei's discard cost! You also have a plthora of other annoying hand control cards like Eri, Team Skull Grunt, and Iono. Happy trolling!

This deck doesn't win by any conevntional methods, as it relies on running your opponent out of resources, pretty much forcng them to concede games. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

I actually play more standard, so i never saw this combo. I was about to write this idiotic comment in capital letters, because I freaked out. This is truly BROKEN.

WafflzInTheHouse  The deck is a lot more meme-y than it looks! While the idea of doing a thousand GX attacks in a game looks super powerful (the main deck that used this strategy was an even MORE convoluted build with Dialga-GX), having to discard 5 card from the handwith each M&L is hard to do, even if Exeggcute and Grant make it easier. This list will definitely need some revision if I want it to be even slightly competitive!

CountyGibbon798 Oh. (I once tried to do this with mewto and mew tag team to spam gx attacks every turn, but then i saw that vaporeon was only for stage 1s. I scrapped the whole thing and went to bed incomplete. lol)
