Arbok ex Hand Control

More of a control style list w/ Arbok ex. Altaria line to search hand disruption every turn. Considered running other hand disruption cards like pokemon snatcher/ grabber. Also could run Thorton to suprise switch a basic and promo. This combo works well with Ho-oH v which in discard can revive and attach 4 darkness energy to itself. You can then thorton and promo the new basic w/ 4 energy attached in the same turn. This tech is more relevant for darkrai decks w/ Arbok and less so for hand control

You can then thorton and promo the new basic w/ 4 energy attached in the same turn. This tech is more relevant for darkrai decks w/ Arbok and less so for hand control where you're more focused on using supporters to hand distrupt rather than taking suprise KOs. Cleansing gloves is there for when you only have Arbok set up and need to OHKO Mew VMAX and Gardevior with Arbok. You could cut this card and rely more on taking OHKO's against these decks w/ Moltres. Or you could include a choice belt instead to helt Moltres hit the magic 220 damage number to OHKO most basic Vs. Last consideration is rigid band to help prevent to make basic Giratina V take a 3 hit KO instead of a 2 hit and to make the VSTAR Giratina whiff KO on arbok ex by 20hp. Maybe consider running path instead of cycling road to make judge more potent but it cuts earl consistency and discard synergy w/ dark patch. You could also choose to run more collapsed to help w/ Gardevoir and other decks with bench based draw engines.
