Suggestions are welcome!

Golisopod is probably the best hit and run attacker yet, with a 170 dmg attack for 3 energy (2 if double turbo) and has gained a couple upgrades since PAR.

Specific cards:

Boomerang energy - maintains consistency as Golisopod does discard an energy on attack

Pivots (cornerstone, mimikyu, klefki) - take advantage of golisopod's switch. (also if they don't have any answer to cornerstone/mimikyu, might as well take the dub, even then most are single prizers so you can have an edge

Fezandipiti ex - you're single prizers are gonna get wiped out one by one, might as well "flip the script".

devo - a low damage output of 170 means opponents are gonna attempt to deny prizes; punish them accordingly.

rescue board - a quick and easy switch if they don't knock out your pivot. (all pivots have 1 retreat cost; this card is also searchable via Arven)

Iron thorns ex - Slightly hesitant to use due to a heavy retreat cost, but couldn't resist use because of its exceptional ability and electric typing 

Have Fun!

I would try to go easier in the Golisopod ex line (2-2 instead of 3-3) and add 1 or 2 Iron Thorns ex as a secondary attacker instead, to hit Lugia VSTAR or Pidgeot ex for weakness. It's also a good pivot in some scenarios, and can use double turbo energy too). I would also play an energy acceleration engine, but I'm not sure which one yet. Maybe Xatu, I guess? Or you could play Baxcalibur or a Quaquaval line with 1 baby and 1 ex..? Maybe Palkia-VSTAR..? There are a ton of options, but none seens "just right"

Daniel Sadboy Thx for the advice

Yeah you are right abt iron thorns ex it definitely seems pretty helpful, imma add rq.

abt energy acceleration, I have thought abt it, and like you said, nothing is "just right". Palkia vstar was close but I eventually settled on no energy acceleration because 2 energy is kinda managable with manual attachment. Especially since you're using the same golisopod to attack every turn, there isn't much of a need for acceleration at all.
