N’s Zoroark ex (Destined Rivals)

Does get a bit weaker in Destined Rivals due to Shaymin's existence but it can still perform decently well.

Strategy: Try and go second for a few good reasons. Anyways, on your first turn, attempt to get out 2-3 N's Zorua's, 1-2 Darumaka's, 1 N's Reshiram, and Cleffa. Then, try to use Grasping Draw in order to get a bigger hand. Then, try to establish your N's Zoroark ex's, your N's Darmanitan's and start setting up your N's Zoroark to use Night Joker. N's Castle gives your N's Pokémon

Then, try to use Grasping Draw in order to get a bigger hand. Then, try to establish your N's Zoroark ex's, your N's Darmanitan's and start setting up your N's Zoroark to use Night Joker. N's Castle gives your N's Pokémon Free Retreat so take advantage of that and your Draw Engine is great thanks to N's Zoroark ex's Ability Trade, you can discard a card from your hand to draw 2 cards. This ability is really helpful as it can help you get more cards in your hand especially after your Opponent pulls off Iono, Judge, TR's Archer, and Unfair Stamp being primary examples. Try to get your Darkness Energies into the Discard Pile to use N's PP Up to accelerate into Night Joker really quickly. Reversal Energy is here for an option to Attack with N's Darmanitan which can do decent damage with Back Draft or a decently good Snipe Attack with Flamebody Cannon which is a bit weaker in this format due to Shaymin's introduction. Furthermore, Cyrano may seem questionable at first, but after testing it out many times, I've come to the conclusion that it's actually really versatile in here as it can find your N's Zoroark's, Fez, and Bloodmoon which are REALLY important cards in this deck. Anyways, your main Night Joker Attack you'll be copying is from N's Reshiram which can let you do either 170 or a lot of damage when your Zoroark is heavily damaged by an Attack. Rigid Band is actually a pretty good card in here as it makes Zoroark a bit more tankier by taking 30 less damage which makes N's Zoroark basically have 310 HP total as that's the amount of damage required to OHKO it. Munkidori helps make getting KO's a lot easier along with healing up your Pokémon whilst moving it onto your Opponent's. Iono is here for the typical disruption, and for the ACE SPEC of choice, Secret Box, is a very great card in this deck as it can find your Stadium, Supporter, Item, and Tool Card. The rest of the cards in this list should be self-explanatory so that is all for the strategy section. Feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

CTC: The cards that can be added will be inside of a list. So if there are any cards in here or cards you want to add in yourself, just cut whatever cards you feel like you don't need.

- 3rd N's Darumaka - Better consistency but since Shaymin released I opted for 2.

- Pecharunt ex - Great Lategame Attacker and can allow N's Zoroark to get poisoned to do more damage with Binding Mochi. (Add in Binding Mochi if you add this in)

- Shaymin - Provides some bench protection to your Non-Rulebox, pretty helpful especially in the Early Game.

- Budew - Self-explanatory.

- Bombirdier ex - Great early game set up for your Basic Pokémon, especially if you're forced to go first.

- 4 Professor's Research - Alternative to Cyrano but may be better at times to have since you can get more cards in hand.

- 4th Iono - Always great to have more disruption.

- 3rd Poffin - I would run 3 but I decided to run 3 Nest Ball since there are more Pokémon with over 70 HP but you should probably add in a third Poffin for finding your Zorua's.

- Super Rod - Great recovery tool.

- Pal Pad - Helps recover cards into your deck for supporters you need.

- Energy Switch - Pretty helpful in certain situations and can help move Energy from like an N's Zoroark about to faint into a fresh N's Zoroark.

- TM: Evolution - To evolve up your Pokémon much earlier on.

- Binding Mochi - Combos with Pecharunt ex.

- 2 Artazon - Helps find your Non-Rulebox Pokémon, really helpful earlier on.

- Unfair Stamp - Great disruption card to have.

- Prime Catcher - Great gusting option.

- Hero's Cape - Makes Zoroark a lot tankier.
