GLC Psychic Evo Deck centered around Farigiraf.

Game plan/-play:
1) Start/Early Game:
-> This deck has two Support Pokémon. Depending on the situation and which deck you are playing against, pick one of them and get it into play as early as possible:
-> Garbodor is strong against decks with Pokémon with a lot of abilities. Getting it on the bench early can be a big hindrance for the opponent. Attach Rescue Scarf to it to activate its Ability. Float Stone can be used too, but Rescue Scarf is preferred since its effect puts Garbodor directly into hand after it's knocked out.
-> Else, get Xatu into play as early as possible. It is the deck's card draw engine and can additionally help to set up attackers.
-> Try to get Elgyem into Active Spot for the first and/or second turn to use its First Contact Attack to put 2 Basic Pokémon on the bench. Then evolve it into Beheeyem and start attacking with it.
-> Mismagius is also a solid Early Game Attacker (especially with Garbodor in play), since it further limits the opponent in being able to play cards.

2) Mid-Game:
-> In Mid-Game either Farigiraf or Reuniclus are used as main attackers.
-> Reuniclus can also be used in Early Game to help evolve all your Pokémon in one swoop, but it's mainly used as damaging attacker in this deck.
-> Farigiraf is pretty self-explanatory. Try to get it into Active Spot and as much Stage 1 Pokémon on the bench as possible and use its One-derful Rumble Attack to deal damage.
-> Mismagius can also be used as solid Mid-Game Attacker using its Dark Arts Attack if the opponent has many cards in hand (>= 8).

3) Late Game/Being behind:
-> Houndstone is the main Late Game Attacker of this deck if a lot of your Pokémon got knocked out and you can't get them back into play yet (e.g. due to a bad hand).
-> Else, Mismagius can also be used effectively as attacker in Late Game if your opponent still has many cards in 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.
