Hydrapple EX

Notes:

-Might change superior energy retrieval with energy retrieval.

-Mew might be replaceable. Unsure with what though. 

-Might add Iron Leaves EX.

Cut out 2 Professor's Research, 1 Iono, 1 Grass Energy for 4 Drayton. Been seeing Drayton mentioned for Hydrapple and I think Hydrapple just needed more consistency. 4 Research felt like too much and I was tossing away so many needed cards at times.

-1 Mew and 1 Dipplin. In: 2 Budew. I'm trying out Budew

-1 Mew and 1 Dipplin. In: 2 Budew. I'm trying out Budew to slow down a turn or two while letting TMO engines start rolling. I think Budew slowing down the game will really give Hydrapple the time it needs to get set up. Mew wasn't really hitting too often and I used it as a few retreater, so might as well let Budew fulfill that same role. One less Dipplin also because it wasnt a core strategy but a side attacker. The deck still auto loses vs Cornerstone Ogerpon EX but what can you do. We need a good grass attacker that can fulfill a secondary/third attacker role but I haven't seen anything come out yet.

Drayton has felt a little... weak, I think it should honestly have been 10~ cards and it would have been a great supporter. I like it over having to discard/losing my entire hand to Prof's Research or Iono.

-1 Budew out, 1 Mew in. There was one or two times I felt like I needed Mew. Still further testing is needed. Drayton kind of under performs, though I may replace it with Iris' fighting spirit when that releases. I found myself with a lot of low card hands with Drayton.
