That's a SICK combo! I like Flygon with Galar Mine a lot.

I made a whole series of decks for Retreat Cost Matters. I think this one needs to be tuned a bit actually, but thank you! Galar Mine is in pretty much every one of them because... yeah retreat cost. EgguDeke

lol yeah. Eminginjo Honestly the best one may be the Water Attackers version I came up with. Those numbers feel really satisfying. The only Issue for most of the Retreat Cost Matters decks I made are things like Float Stone but usually they have a pretty good backup attack so it's not that big of a deal.

Eminginjo Well honestly I'm not that worried about our retreat costs with this deck. Once we get set up we can sit there and stall all we want until they either draw a switch or waste a bunch of energy. Boss's orders and such just keeps them wasting time. Once we are set up, most of our pokemon actually switch themselves out or are attackers that can take down enough that it's worth the trade.

yoo what about Future Booster Energy Capsule (Paradox Rift) and like a lot of pokemon with the ability: If this pokemon has a __ energy attached, this pokemon has no retreat cost

Eminginjo Sadly I think that one is only usable by future pokemon. Yeah things like Hiding Energy for Dark types and such are in the other decks. That's one of the good things about this weird archetype. There's a deck to be made for half the types. Actually I think this is the weakest one I came up with. It's kind of funny it has gotten so many comments.
