Deck Primer

Darkrai V/star build that uses Roaring Moon ex as another secondary attacker. The main goal is to start building Darkrai V while dumping energy and using Dark Patch to reattach to Roaring Moon. Darkrai Vstar can grab used Dark Patch or Earthen Vessel as needed. Roaring Moon ex is a good late game attacker and can trade against Vmax Pokemon like Mew and Regieleki to grab prizes. Galarian Moltres V is a good battery for Darkrai Vstar and can setup to close out KOs on bigger targets. Galarian Moltres

Darkrai Vstar can grab used Dark Patch or Earthen Vessel as needed. Roaring Moon ex is a good late game attacker and can trade against Vmax Pokemon like Mew and Regieleki to grab prizes. Galarian Moltres V is a good battery for Darkrai Vstar and can setup to close out KOs on bigger targets. Galarian Moltres works similarly and combos well with a late Earthen Vessel. Squawkabilly and Radiant Greninja help dump cards and get through your deck to what you want. Mew and Lumineon V help grab items and supporters when you need them.

 

The trainers are standard to Darkrai V but Earthen Vessel is a must have in a lot of decks that want to see more energy in hand, and combos extremely well with Dark Patch, helping accelerate energy well. Sada's Vitality is good one off here to help with the same idea, potentially getting up to 3 energy onto a single Pokemon with a manual attachment. Counter catcher is also useful in the event of a bad opening hand or losing Mew/Galarian Moltres early.

 

I'm open to suggestions and feedback.

So.rthing you may find useful is a Lost City or two, and an easier way to get Boss back. I'm expecting Gardevoir Scream Tail to be very successful, so I want to be able to counter it. Most only use one or two Gardevoir ex, and so if they can be bossed and lost zoned quickly they will no longer have an engine. Because the Gardevoir IS the backup attacker, it will be easy to bonk the Kirlia and other supports.

I'll consider Lost City if I start seeing more Gardy players, but for now PokéStop provides the fastest way to get pieces set up, especially early game. May be good to tech in currently at 1, over Collapsed Stadium. 

Counter Catcher facilitates running Boss at 2, and may be a good excuse to run it at 1 potentially, especially since Darkrai Vstar can get CC back in hand if you save Star Abyss for mid game.
