Deck Primer

This deck's strategy is to stall your opponent and you have some win conditions: Pyroar who can't be attacked by basic Pokémon, Mew who can't be attacked by evolution Pokémon and Altaria who can't be attacked by Vs and GXs. But its not as simple as to put Mew if the opponent has evolutions and Pyroar if he has basics, there's way more than that.

You can attack with Gengar & Mimikyu using Horror House to prevent the opponent from pllaying cards from his hand. You can also attack

This deck's strategy is to stall your opponent and you have some win conditions: Pyroar who can't be attacked by basic Pokémon, Mew who can't be attacked by evolution Pokémon and Altaria who can't be attacked by Vs and GXs. But its not as simple as to put Mew if the opponent has evolutions and Pyroar if he has basics, there's way more than that.

You can attack with Gengar & Mimikyu using Horror House to prevent the opponent from pllaying cards from his hand. You can also attack with Sableye to supporter lock your opponent which is very good to prevent him from playing a draw card if he is dead drawing or to prevent him to use Guzma, and u have also Bunnelby to discard the top card of your opponent's deck and use Rototiller to shuffle a card from ur discard pile into ur deck.

In order to setup, play second and choose either to use boost shake to evolve directly into Altaria or Pyroar or to use Steven's resolve to search for up to 3 cards that you want. Both of them end your turn but they are solid options still.

I use N as my draw engine along with Zacian V in order to consistently draw cards but N isn't only a draw engine he can even punish ur opponent if he has took too many prizes!

U can also counter catcher to  bring a Dedenne GX in the active post and add 2 colorless energies to its retreat cost so he can't retreat easily

Hope u enjoy this deck! :)

Nice deck just in a battle watch out for Trevenant VMAX's they rely on the other players trainers

@Gym Leader Autumn Trevenant VMAX relies only on Supporters, not Trainers and he isn't seeing much play in Expanded, and even though u can trap a support Pokémon (like Dedenne GX) of ur opponent and block him in the active post so u dont have to worry about that! Thanks for ur feedback though!

@Gym Leader Autumn and i almost forgot that Trevenant VMAX auto-loses to Altaria and Mew!

@King_ofknight46 it is pricey only bcs of the full arts and stuff, but normally it should cost less than 180.00

Does Altaria get swapped out for Miltank dive Astral Radiance??

I would highly recommend mew/path to the peak as this deck gets absolutely cooked by bench hate. Other than that it's a good list.
