I absolutely hate evolving yellow border cards from silver borders, Shuppet into Banette makes me feel sick

This fairly standard deck is built for Live's GLC mode, which is currently running as a Trainer Trial. Since Live only goes back to Sun and Moon, it doesn't include any cards from before that set.

As with any Lost Zone deck, the objective is to get rid of enough cards to allow for Sableye to use Lost Mine to wipe the board. Because GLC is a singleton format, a majority of Pokemon have much lower

This fairly standard deck is built for Live's GLC mode, which is currently running as a Trainer Trial. Since Live only goes back to Sun and Moon, it doesn't include any cards from before that set.

As with any Lost Zone deck, the objective is to get rid of enough cards to allow for Sableye to use Lost Mine to wipe the board. Because GLC is a singleton format, a majority of Pokemon have much lower HP than what you would find in Standard - where Sableye was already really good. Uxie can soften opposing Pokemon if your opponent has a strong opening, and Dedenne can help loop Colress or Lost Blender if you need to turbo into Sableye  (or where your opponent has so few benched Pokemon that Uxie wouldn't be much help anyway). I was previously dismissive of Meowstic but I actually think it's probably better than the Kirlia line, since you only really need to find Colress once and then you can loop it with Dedenne/Banette/Mewtwo.

Other considerations:

- While it may seem strong at first, because of the general low HP of the deck and the awkwardness of its Darkness cost Munkidori doesn't see much use. It is extremely annoying on opponent's teams, though.

- With that said, I'm using Faba to take energy away from it and Okidogi. This doesn't really work if they use non-special Darkness energy though, so maybe something like Plumeria would be better? I appreciate Faba working as a pseudo Field Blower as well, which Plumeria cannot.

- I really like the idea of using Mimikyu (Cosmic Eclipse), which can potentially get you two uses of Colress in one turn with its Impersonation attack. It's a bit of a pain to get set up though, so it's more of a meme idea.

I'm completely new to this format, so appreciate any questions or suggestions :]

Now if you'll excuse me, I just found out that the alternative win condition Unowns are legal in GLC...

ah, my specialty.

i would reccomend adding Mirage Gate (Lost Origin) for more energy acceleration, but other than that, 10/10
