Deck Primer

Utilizes Blaziken for the Ability to recover Greninja's Energies that was discarded and uses Blaziken as a back up attacker as well along with N's Zoroark for Draw Support and another attacker.

Strategy: Going either first or second is fine so the choice is yours. Though, going second is a bit better due to the potential of getting Arven in hand to get Precious Trolley out.

Utilizes Blaziken for the Ability to recover Greninja's Energies that was discarded and uses Blaziken as a back up attacker as well along with N's Zoroark for Draw Support and another attacker.

Strategy: Going either first or second is fine so the choice is yours. Though, going second is a bit better due to the potential of getting Arven in hand to get Precious Trolley out. Anyways, for your Early Game you should get out your Froakie's, N's Zorua, N's Reshiram (Optional but is needed to attack with Zoroark), and your Torchic's. Additionally, you could also get out Munkidori if needed as well though Trolley will get out your whole field out anyways. Now if you do go second you should try and use TM: Evo but if you're going first and don't have Trolley just focus on getting some of your board set up. This deck does run 4 Rare Candies due to the fact of the amount of Stage Two's in this list and for the overall consistency. Moving onwards, Crispin can help get your Energy out into play and can also help set up your Attacks. Munkidori helps move damage off of your Pokémon and moves it onto your Opponent's Pokémon making getting KO's a little bit easier. Shining Blade can help you search your deck out for a card and can deal decent damage, Blaziken can be a last resort attacker, N's Zoroark is the main draw support and works as another attacker due to N's Reshiram. Also, yes this build may seem a bit off but it has done quite well in this current format as other people have played a similar build to this. The ACE SPEC of choice, Precious Trolley, helps get out your whole board set up but you could run Unfair Stamp or something else if preferred. Morty's Conviction is a neat Tech Card to draw a bit more cards if your Opponent has a large bench. Also, after using Mirage Barrage, try to use Blaziken's Ability (At least 2 of them) to recover your Energy to be able to use Mirage Barrage again. That's all I have to say about this deck so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

This build does look odd to me still but it does work out decently well and also when Destined Rivals releases, a 70 HP Torchic card will release which would be better to run due to Dragapult.

LimeLemon Interesting concept, don't really have much to say about it.

LimeLemon powetglass may be a good idea for this deck

Pyxel  Thank you for your feedback! Also, this deck is a bit outdated as it's for Journey Together but I'll include Powerglass when I release the Destined Rivals variant.
