3.) Use your Secondary Attackers once your main 3 are knocked out / prized ; Max Counter Spritomb , Toxapex or Zorark.

4.) Alternative Strategies - Yveltal - to trap key targets to rack up poison DMG Or Dragalge for a knockout on a high HP Pokemon .

5.) How to use Zoark - Aggressively by discarding Stage 1s with Liepard early one for tempo as you can revive them with your ability. (This usually is Muk , Weezing or Overqwil)

OR Defensively by immediately reviving a Weezing or Overqwil that was just knocked out to continue the pressure on your opponent.

OR Passively by waiting for a Support Pokemon to be Targeted for an easy knockout (Toxicroak or Liepard) and restablishing them on the board. Or simply to use a Stage 1 whose Basic is prized.

HOWEVER you cannot use zorark for Dragalge as his attack requires him to evolve from Skrelp thus choose any other target.

EDITS YALL CAN MAKE TO THE DECK - you can add , Counter-Catcher , Cynthia (Shuffle Draw 6) , More Stage 1 Pokemon For Zorark to target (IDK maybe Toxtricity), A Stage 2 line like Crobat with Rare Candy , More Baisc Attackers like Galarian Moltres , Guzlord or Darkrai , Absol (Claw Rend) , Team Rocket's Sneasel , Alolan Mewoth , Marnie's Morpekoor , Hoopa ETC. More retrival cards , Remove Muk for any card you want to add , More Energy IDK.

Make sure you have fun and if you make any changes you want to recommend for me to use just write a comment <3

I removed N (Also Known as Iono) for Mareanie just so you aren't forced to use Zorark for it. ;)

Great deck! I really wanna try it myself. Some ideas that came to my head when looking through it: -You could add a Professor's Letter to become able to search some energies easily. -The VS Seeker you used is the one from the Charizard deck, not the normal one.
