So this is an edit of my old version of Hisuian Arcanine and I have come with some new found knowledge given through experience:

1. Galarian Zapdos is just good regardless of pace

2. This deck is definitely not the best way to play Hisuian Arcanine (I knew this already but now my eyes are wide open.)

The issue was with the first iteration of the deck is that it was trying too hard to be multiple things. The engines took from the discard pile but there wasn't really a concrete way to push energy to the discard pile, except by fainting or throwing energy in there through the only 2 ultra balls in the deck and a Greninja that was perfectly liable to get knocked out by bench targets or switches, forcing you to use super rod early or even waste a Klara (My beloved) to retrieve 1 pokemon and little to no energy.

Damage reduction was only sometimes valid, seeing that the damage reduction would only be able to allow one hit to tank usually and unless you had the energy to faint your opponent's pokemon (which often times I didn't due to the sheer lack on energy in discard.

But instead of going down the sensicle route, I decided that the best course of action would to just make it more discard and draw oriented to get key cards in the hand and energy into the discard pile for maximum charging for later

Also Brilliant Stars Lucario is the goat here, goodbye Arcanine.

Time to go over the basic tech.
___________________________________________

1. Use Radiant Greninja to rid yourself of any energy you might have for some card draw.

2. Cycling Road will serve as more energy discard and give the added bonus of a card draw. Your opponent will use this, of course but it doesn't matter, they will usually have limited ways to regain energy. If they are benefiting TOO much, don't be afraid to use the other wife, Worker, to discard your own on field stadium and another 3 card draw. 

3. If your hand is full of energy or low, use Professor's Research to dump more energy in the pile, and refill your hand. Awesome!

4. Trekking Shoes serves as an extra way for hand fill or energy discard. Just use it and act accordingly to what you need!

5. Your main Ultra Ball targets will be energy and your Battle VIPs if they were never used. After a while when you get your board set up, it'll be only used for more in-hand energy discard.

6. Klara, our most lovely queen serves as a tool refilling your hand with any knocked out Pokemon and energy because she does what she wants.

________________________________________________

Your Lucario absolutely will eat dirt and die to almost anything with only 130 HP but the upside to this is your Lucario now has the potential to kill God.

Enemy Radiant Greninja will def mess you up if they decide to give it energy, since it one shots your Nacli and Riolu so either try to deal with that first or pray they dont get the set up. Ah, the woes of off meta.
