So the goal of the deck is to get as much energy into your discard as quickly as possible and then use Volcarona to put those energies back into the deck at a point your library should consist of around 15 cards all of which are energy cards. between Flareon Vmax and Volcarona, you should be averaging 300-500 damage per turn. use the switch if necessary but don't hesitate to use the retreat cost and discard an energy from your Pokemon as it will only fuel your attacks.

Since the only cards you will be drawing are energy anyways.   A card I was not expecting to be as good as it had been was Flareon, its basic evolution sets up incredibly well for an attack the next turn with its Vmax form and its max detonate attack is fantastic for a luck-based attack averaging two to three hundred damage per attack. combined with its huge hp and high amount of energy in the deck it makes Flareon a really consistent and powerful card. I have not had much of a chance to test this against the current met decks but from when I have had a chance it dose pretty well.

 

Deck suggestions are always appreciated.👍

Maybe add someElemental Badge (Evolving Skies) to make the attack 1 less. It might seem small, but it's a big difference. Single Strike Energy (Battle Styles) could also fit nicely by filling the colourless attachment and also to make 200 damage into 220, enough to OHKO various basic exs and Vs. It can also do 300 into 320, enough to OHKO Mew and Regieleki VMAX. No pressure ofc, these are just suggestions 🙂

Everything that chookling said applies to what I have to say as well, but if you're making this an unlimited deck, go all out with options! You can use Mallow to put 2 fire energies on top of your deck for a guaranteed 200 damage, and you can also use Fire Crystal or Energy Recycler to reuse energies that have been discarded from Flareon VMAX's attack. Welder or Blacksmith do a great job setting up as well, and Kiawe makes a great first-turn option to immediately set up Flareon.

Thank you so much! These are really good suggestions. I might consider adding fire crystal or welder but they just seem to be a bit slow. I personally dislike only being able to play one supporter per turn as it has led to some uncomfortable situations but I agree welder is definitely an extremely powerful card I will need to consider. In this deck, I want my fire energy in three places, on a Pokemon in my library and in my discard not really my hand. Additionally this deck was made from one of my standard decks all that I have added is a playset of acro bikes and Trainer's mail since they work really well and my small playgroup said they are ok with it but even without those cards the deck slaps in standard.
