Deck Primer

In this deck, you want to use Gholdengo to dish out damage by using make it rain every turn. This deck uses weakness to have favorable matchups against chien-pao decks and tsareena decks due to weakness. If you have trouble with zard or psychic decks, you could include a justified gloves or a cleansing gloves to preserve energies. You could also drop a scyther and scizor for a stronger Bibarel line. Kleavor is an anti-Miraidon tech, as it evolves from scyther and rout only uses colorless energy.

In this deck, you want to use Gholdengo to dish out damage by using make it rain every turn. This deck uses weakness to have favorable matchups against chien-pao decks and tsareena decks due to weakness. If you have trouble with zard or psychic decks, you could include a justified gloves or a cleansing gloves to preserve energies. You could also drop a scyther and scizor for a stronger Bibarel line. Kleavor is an anti-Miraidon tech, as it evolves from scyther and rout only uses colorless energy.

You opening strategy is to use Arven or Adaman to use Battle VIP Pass and Evolution TM to speed up evolution, this is why we get away with thin Bibarel and scizor lines. You then want to get as many Gholdengo out as possible with a Bibarel to support and scizor as needed. Scizor is particularly useful against Chien-Pao and as well as other ability based decks like Zard and Gardy.

Middlegame you want to start with industrious incisors before using coin bonus and superior energy retrieval and super rod as needed.

This is a relatively simple deck, so I hope you have fun with it!
