Deck Primer

This deck has already fallen off since around Stellar Crown and loses a bit more in rotation.

Strategy: Greninja ex helps out quite as it allows you to search your Deck for any card to then put it into you hand and works as a Back-Up attacker. The plan is still the same, use Baxcalibur to get energy onto Chien-Pao, item-lock with Budew, Regigas to destroy Charizard ex. Due to the loss of Pokéstop, it has been replaced with Jamming Tower to shut off your opponents items. Iron Bundle forces

This deck has already fallen off since around Stellar Crown and loses a bit more in rotation.

Strategy: Greninja ex helps out quite as it allows you to search your Deck for any card to then put it into you hand and works as a Back-Up attacker. The plan is still the same, use Baxcalibur to get energy onto Chien-Pao, item-lock with Budew, Regigas to destroy Charizard ex. Due to the loss of Pokéstop, it has been replaced with Jamming Tower to shut off your opponents items. Iron Bundle forces an active Pokémon in certain scenarios. Wellspring Ogerpon can help do Bench Sniping and also lock a Pokémon into the Active making them unable to retreat. Night Stretcher, Super Rod, and Superior Energy are the recovery support which is pretty typical for this deck. Iono replaces Roxanne and Arven replaces Irida. Iron Hands ex still helps Chien-Pao out a bit which is why it is included. (An example being a single prize deck) I have considered Wailord from Journey Together which may be good due was cut do the Pokémon amount being deemed too high with it included. Thank you to @Waffle Enthusiast for the suggestion! Well anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed the Dudunsparce Line and replaced it with a 2-2 Line for Greninja ex which seemed to help me out much more.

Gonna make an edit that removes the Dudunsparce Line for something much better.
