Deck Primer

This Hydreigon List is based off of the few City league players that Topped 8 in JP standard Post rotation. So no dark patch, Roseanne's Backup or any other sweet cards that we will sadly be losing at rotation.

Added in Dusknoir line to help path towards a win in 3 different approaches.

Approach 1, Control; we snipe off Key pieces to slow down opponent and set up Hydreigon, turning on counter gain and countercatcher (Can even use Calamitous Wasteland to trap Support style 2 prizers while setting up

...

Approach 2, Rush fast and Crushing Headbutt, and use the Dusknoir line to finish Stage 2 Ex Pokemons
Stronger if you add in Binding Mochi and Pecherant EX tech. More Synergy with Munkidori and being able to hit for 240 is enough to take down the Big Basic EX pokemons.

Approach 3, Midrange/Tool Box; Pidgeot lets us not just set up but gives us the pieces we need to adapt throughout the game.

Budew is meta dependent, with such a heavy set up style deck, it's arguable to play clefa.
The stadiums can be swapped vetween wasteland or league headquarters based on meta and preference. If playing headquarters then basics like Bloodmon Ursaluna and Pecharant are a little more difficult to use.
