Did the "2026 rotation" mean that this deck will rotate out? If you did not, it will. Also, Flygon ex can be hard to manage if much other stuff is happening in the deck at the same time.

No, it means the deck will not rotate out.

Also, the deck's main strategy is to use Flygon ex's Reversing Storm attack, while poisoned and holding mochi tool, to switch into either Jellicent ex, Iron Thorns ex, Pecharunt, or Mimikyu. The goal is to control what your opponent can do, while dealing large amounts of damage. The max you can do per turn is 170, plus 10 poison, or 30 (if stadium), unless switching into a Pecharunt to make the total damage 270.

The reason for having 4 different strategies to play is for you to assess what your opponent is doing. Ex: a Gholdengo Deck would prioritize Jellicent and Iron Thorns, a Gardevoir Burn deck would prioritize Iron Thorns and Mimikyu; you get the point. Also, the main thing about this deck is you arent suposed to be eliminating the opponents active by attack damage; it should be residual damage through poison to prevent abilities from cards like Fezandipiti ex and M Gengar ex to trigger.

Idealy, you'd be switching into Iron Thorns ex.... a lot. The deck is a "Counter"-deck while maintaining a strong punch.

i believe every card with a G designation has a reprint.
