Deck Primer

Strategy: Golem ex's first attack does 50 damage and allows you to do 120 more damage during your next turn, so using Golem's second attack on that second turn it can do 300 damage! However, it can go much further as using Dusknoir or Dusclops to nuke them and yourself, Golem can knock basically everything out, and if you're behind on prizes during that second turn you can do 330 damage with Defiance Band which knocks out almost everything. Kieran also allows Golem to do 30 more damage to ex's,

However, it can go much further as using Dusknoir or Dusclops to nuke them and yourself, Golem can knock basically everything out, and if you're behind on prizes during that second turn you can do 330 damage with Defiance Band which knocks out almost everything. Kieran also allows Golem to do 30 more damage to ex's, however it also allows you switch out of the active spot. The 2 Crushing Hammers are just here to stall out your opponent a bit more by disrupting them with it which can prevent them from attacking. Additionally, the Iono's and Judges also add even more disruption, so you can force your opponent to take prizes with Dusknoir to then Iono them to lower their hand size even more! Judge is more of an early game disrupter. Cornerstone Ogerpon helps wall against some decks and counters Mimikyu, it also actives Area Zero Underdepths and since cornerstone is a Tera, that's where the Noctowl Line can be used to find your trainer cards you need. Fan Rotom helps search for the Noctowl Line as well. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Wouldn't a few cards like Handheld Fan and Giovanni's Charisma work for this deck?

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for your feedback! However, yes those cards may be good for additional stall those cards would just make it a whole other deck being Golem ex Control which does sound pretty fun.

LimeLemon Makes sense, I might as well edit your list to make a control variant and post it.

Waffle Enthusiast Sounds fun! I'll be looking forwards to see what you come up with.
