Decklist from TrustYourPilotTCG featuring Claydol and Stonjourner from Silver Tempest. Forego Supporter cards to enable Claydol to power up Stonjourner, who can hit for a whopping 190 damage without modifiers, by relying on Pokémon-based consistency like Snorlax VIV and Bibarel BRS. Grant is the only viable supporter in this deck, as not only does it increase the power of your Fighting-type Pokémon's attacks, but it is the only Supporter card that can recur itself from the discard

Decklist from TrustYourPilotTCG featuring Claydol and Stonjourner from Silver Tempest. Forego Supporter cards to enable Claydol to power up Stonjourner, who can hit for a whopping 190 damage without modifiers, by relying on Pokémon-based consistency like Snorlax VIV and Bibarel BRS. Grant is the only viable supporter in this deck, as not only does it increase the power of your Fighting-type Pokémon's attacks, but it is the only Supporter card that can recur itself from the discard pile should you decide to play it. Manaphy protects your 'dols in relevant situations, and every other card either provides more consistency or a common function like gust, easier retreat, or resource recycling.

Strong matchups include some Arceus VSTAR builds, Blissey V, Darkrai VSTAR, and can even stand up to the likes of Lugia VSTAR if the cards fall right.

Mew VMAX is a bit more difficult to handle with its Max Miracle being able to hit through Terrakion's guaranteed damage immunity, so you will have to rely on 2-shotting Mew VMAX with Stonjourner attacks (after Resistance, Mew VMAX takes 160 damage from Mysterious Press, which is perfect 2HKO range). If they have Oricorio in play, find your Grant and loop it every turn or you will likely lose. You will also likely lose if Lost City comes down and they start banishing your Pokémon in play.

If you play against Arceus VSTAR/Flying Pikachu VMAX (which is now a default deck in PTCGLive for new players to use) you pretty much lose outright.

This deck is a lot of fun to play and is very different from so many other decks currently out there. It is excessively simple, but very effective!
