***Upon revisiting this deck I've removed the Houndour-Houndoom line as it was way to slow and inconsistent***

Main goal of the deck is to have Duraludon Vmax as your main attacker and shut down opponent's attacks that rely on special energy (i.e. Fusion strike, Rapid strike, Single strike, etc) We also have Zacian V as draw support and an easy 230 dmg, and Zamazenta V to wall out opponent Vmax's (counters Shadow Rider, Ice Rider, Leafeon

Main goal of the deck is to have Duraludon Vmax as your main attacker and shut down opponent's attacks that rely on special energy (i.e. Fusion strike, Rapid strike, Single strike, etc) We also have Zacian V as draw support and an easy 230 dmg, and Zamazenta V to wall out opponent Vmax's (counters Shadow Rider, Ice Rider, Leafeon and Eternatus Vmax). We run a copy of Umbreon V and Vmax for a gust option, a fodder option for Tower of darkness and as an optional attacker against Shadow Rider or Mew. A mid-late game combo is Bronzong metal transfer energy off of Duraludon Vmax, Cheryl to heal and discard the single strike energy still attached, then urn of vitality to get the energy back in the deck. I've removed Flannery and Klara and replaced them with the new Adventurer's Discovery supporter card for more consistent search options since most of the pokemon are V's. You can play around with the # of copies of Quick Ball and Great Ball I wasn't sure on an optimal combination so I just included both. Bird keeper (or Switch) for mobility and draw support. Marnie, Research, and Boss because they're the best supporters and lastly Raihan because you can't have a Duraludon deck without Raihan.

I feel your metal saucer might struggle with this deck, there are only 6 metal energy and saucer can only attach to metal pokemon.

@Courtyard Caddy Thank you for the feedback! I've ended up scrapping the houndoom line as it was very inconsistent and just an easy bench target for spread decks. Thinking about switching Duraludon V (single strike dragon type) to the metal type Duraludon V but as of now using metal saucer on Zacian/Zamazenta and Bronzong works well

switch bronzors and zacian out with arceus for rotation, and consistancy. 

Take out umbreon line and zamazenta line for more conststancy due to vstars, and replace with boss and drapeon is umbreon is for mew.

Remove 4 metal energy and 2 single strike energy for mirror matches. Definantly replace with more stadiums to counter path to the peak. Keep Tower of darkness and caves and add 1 lost city, and one colasped stadium for palkia decks. 

For sure remove great ball and replace with ultra balls. Take cheryls out and replace with a single strike mustard and a hyper potion. Would definantly experiment with empoleon for single prize decks. Remove saucers and add in choice belts and more quick balls.

Hope this had helped!

Umbreon could be in for Dark Symbol, the VMAX's Ability.

That seems like great advice!

This might be a fun card and a useful one for the final KO:Single Strike Scroll of the Fanged Dragon (Evolving Skies)
