arent aegislash and mimikyu the same thing

Eminginjo "arent aegislash and mimikyu the same thing"

Yes and no. I run Aegislash for three reasons.

1) The Tinkaton in this deck would be the only reason to run metal energy in it otherwise, so I felt I had to justify it with an additional steel type.

2) Aegislash is better for dealing with head-on threats (Like non-rulebox mons) than Mimikyu is. Mimikyu just comes out faster.

3) Tinkaton alone wouldn't be enough to justify 4 rare candies imo, even if I ran 3 basic/3 stage 2, so giving an extra potential target can give me options later, in case they snipe my tink/honedge while setting up.

You could lean more into stall and just not use Tinkaton. It doesn't seem particularly helpful unless you can boss up a squawkabilly or baxcalibur or something, unless you add the one from Paldea Evolved so it also becomes your draw engine. Also given your assortment of not tanky Pokémon, I'd suggest adding a Manaphy. Trekking Shoes is a great card to drop for something else.

How does tinkaton and crushing hammer work here? Doesn't seem very consistent to run only two tinkaton (if its one of your main attackers). You ussually dont run that much crushin hammers, even more if you already have giovanni in there (unless you have some lycanroc strategy)). It could help running a radiant as well (like radiant zard), as well as a couple of stadium(even though it doesn't seem necessary), what about artazon?

Eminginjo why would they need Dark Patch? There's no dark energies in the deck...

I think that I would personally cut aigeslash and run paldea evolved tinktaon and also reversal energy.
