Deck Primer

Strategy: Dusknoir can help put damage on a Pokémon and then you can use Sonic Dive to potentially finish off a Pokémon on the bench. Cornerstone Ogerpon is here to help with things like Charizard ex. Grand Tree the ACE SPEC of choice is here just incase your opponent item-locks and to allow you to get Dusknoir or Garchomp in play as soon as possible. TM: Devolution helps with matchups against Evolution decks so like if you used Dusknoir on Dragapult ex and then use Devolution

TM: Devolution helps with matchups against Evolution decks so like if you used Dusknoir on Dragapult ex and then use Devolution you can get the Dreepy/Drakloak knocked out. Additinally, Powerglass helps recover at least 1 Energy after using Sonic Dive. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions in the comments!

Edits:

Edit #1: Removed Mew ex and replaced it with Groudon from SSP and also removed a copy of Rare Candy for a third Boss's Orders.

Edit #2: Removed Okidogi, Luminous Energy, TM: Evo, and Bravery Charm as they didn't help much after further testing. In addition to these removals, they have been replaced with a 2nd Budew, a 2nd Gabite, and 2 Powerglasses

This deck seems decent, though, I'd recommend to potentially add in Groudon from SSP. Side Note: Dusknoir line seems pretty unique in Garchomp ex as it's not seen much.

Waffle Enthusiast Yet again thank you for  another suggestion, anyways I see what you mean for the Groudon from SSP. It seems pretty interesting so I'll add it in.

Forgot to add in these changes much earlier, though it has been updated now.
