GLC Grass Aggro Deck centered around Lilligant and Lurantis and Pokémon with cheap Attacks that can start attacking quickly.

Game plan/-play:
1) Start/Early Game:
-> This deck is all about attacking as fast as possible. Therefor, it has a lot of good Early Attackers which can be used for different situations depending what is needed:
-> Budew serves as "stax" piece to prevent the opponent from playing any items in the first few turns and doesn't need any prior set up. With Lilligant and Lurantis out it can even deal 70 DMG for 0 Energy. Additionally, it can be retreated for free if another of the attackers is already set up.
-> Dipplin needs a bit of set up to get going but is a very strong cheap attacker. With Festival Grounds out it can attack twice. Then depending on your number of benched Pokémon, it can deal up to 2x 100 DMG = 200 DMG for 1 Energy. With Lilligant and Lurantis out and Muscle Band attached it can even deal up to 2x 160 = 320 DMG.
-> Jumpluff is set up a bit faster than Dipplin and can also attack twice. It can deal up to 2x 120 DMG = 240 DMG (if Lilligant and Lurantis is in play and Muscle Band is attached to it).
-> Jumpluff can be put into play and set up for attacking on turn 2 pretty consistently. Even turn 1 is possible if starting as second player, Dawn is in your hand, Forest of Vitality can be put into play and an Energy can be attached to it.
-> Vivillon is a solid attacker and used to annoy your opponent by letting them shuffle their possibly good hand back into deck and draw 4 new cards. It can deal up to 160 DMG for 1 Energy (if Lilligant and Lurantis and a stadium is in play).
-> Vivillon can be put into play on turn 1 and start attacking if Dawn is in your hand and an Energy is attached to it. It doesn't even need Forest of Vitality thanks to the Abilities of its Pre-Evolutions.

2) Mid-Game:
-> After getting 1 or 2 of your Early Game Attackers ready to attack focus on putting Lilligant and Lurantis into play. These two are the backbone of the deck and increase the damage by quite a bit. Especially for your twice attacking Pokémon.
-> If you play against a Spread Deck put Shaymin into play since it protects your benched Pokémon from spread damage.

3) Late Game/Being behind:
-> In Late Game or if a Pokémon is knocked out, Iron Leaves serves as a Revenge Attacker and to get Pokémon from discard pile back into hand.

Disclaimer:
- Comments, ideas, etc. are welcome!
- All my decks are mostly built around a theme and built for fun games in the local GLC friends group and LGS.
- Since I'm not a competitive player, this deck it's not meant/recommended for GLC tournament play.
- All my decks have been built/are organized on limitlesstcg.com beforehand and have been tested in https://ptcgsim.online/ and games against friends. They have gone through a lot of changes and I compared them with decks from other players (GLC tournament decks, pokemoncard.io, cardboardwarriors.net, etc.) before I upload them. So I think they are okay as they are.
- However, I'm still open to recommendations for cards that fit into the deck's “theme” and can improve it.
- My decks are subject to change as I update them regularly when new GLC legal sets/cards release.
