This is a rough draft of a deck that was inspired by another user. I feel like it could use a bit of tightening up due to the large amount of supporters and overall space management.

Anyways, this deck want to use Kecleon and the Lake trio to augment your opponent's weaknesses, and slam them with the titular chameleon's multi-typed might. Sky Field is to be replaced with Area Zero Underdepths once Stellar Crown releases as this deck doesn't benefit from the opponent having a larger bench, akin to a deck like Palkia VSTAR. In order for that to happen, I used Cornerstone Ogerpon ex as my Tera Pokemon of choice, as it can hit decent damage, is a basic, and can disrupt popular attackers like Regidrago, the afforementioned Palkia, and Lugia VSTAR.

On the topic of popular decks, that's why I decided against using one of every basic energy type, despite that looking like it would hold the best results against meta decks. From my research, Fighting, Lightning, and Darkness seem to be the most common weaknesses, with the occaisional fire-weak Pokemon popping up every now and then. When matched up against Lugia and Regidrago, Girafarig exists to remove Archeops before they can be summoned, and permanently get rid of Drago's attacking options. Field Blower deals with Garbodor's ability lock. 

Turbo Patch is a stand-in for Glass Trumpet, which accelerates energy to your colourless Pokemon from the discard pile if you have a Tera Pokemon in play, further cementing Ogerpon's role in the deck. Computer Search can also be replaced by Precious Carrier once Surging Sparks releases for an instant setup card in the early game. 

Battle Compressor is probably the only other interesting choice here, but it instantly gets the energy you need in the discard to be accelerated through the Trumpet, and it also has an uspoken use to remove matchup-specific cards like Mew or Girafarig if they could act as potential bricks in the mid-late game. 

Another cute combo is Oricorio GX and Fezandipiti who works as the draw engine. When one of your one-prizers gets KO'd, which they often will, you get a free 6 cards since their abilities stack with each other. 

Enjoy!

Siegislash Glad you think so! What are your thoughts critically?

Oh yeah, I'll bite

- While I do recognize the importance of consistency and picking only a few select energies to counter popular decks, you almost have an insta-loss against multi-prize decks you cannot apply weakness to since you are confined to ogerpon to deal real damage at that point. (more fighting is fine cuz ogerpon)

- Yes while you do have consistent energy acceleration, DCE is still very important and maxed out as Kecleon only needs one energy type to gain the type effect. (Yes you do have energy switch to cover this but at that point its kinda rube goldberg when DCE is an option, they also work for ogerpon which you cannot accelerate directly to)

- Terapagos ex should be a consideration, since it can take advantage of AZU and use DCE effectively and swing for a decent 240 dmg.

- prob max out compressor, you may feel its excessive but with carrier and a maxed vs seekers it can prove very helpful, and two just isn't consistent enough.

- Unless ur choosing to depend on Ori and Feza for draw power, ur probably gonna brick with only 2 draw supports.

 

Hope I helped! 🥰

Siegislash The main decks this won't be hitting for weaknessare Gouging Fire and Regidrago when going off the tournament results. Gouging fire, uhhh I believe this deck just loses against since it hits through Ogerpon and can't be OHKO'd by Kecleon. I'm not sure if it's worth teching a water energy at that point, either. I guess depending on what the environment is, you can replace the one basic fire for a water.

Regidrago I feel should grab more attention. It has no weakness, but the VSTAR can't hit through Ogerpon. However, almost all Drago lists tend to have Garbodor in it, so KO'ing those should be a priority. The best option for this would probably invole rearranging the deck again, but Lillie's Clefairy ex will turn all of your opponent's dragon Pokemon's weaknesses into psychic, allowing you to hit them for 4x. At that point though, you'll have so much junk on your bench for these teching options that there will be no room for your actual strategy. I tried something similar with Silvally a while back, but I might actually have another go at it because of what I have learned since then.

And yes, this did certainly help!
