Quick Search Judge/Copycat to continuously disrupt opponent's hand and hit for 220 with Tales ex. 

PoGo Zard allows for your Zard ex, Tales ex, and Pidgeot ex to attack with only 1 fire energy, which lets you attach a wider energy spread when you first play your Zard ex. 

Forest Seal Stone on Delphox is great to get what you need before Pidgeot is set up, or as a double Quick Search if you have your Pidgeot already.

Took out OBF Ninetales for another Tales ex. Delphox's Burn/Confusion attack has been a good enough Mimikyu counter so far, and you can still hit something on their bench for 120 if you don't need to re-apply the Burn damage. It's not the *greatest* play, but it can be good in some situations - assuming they don't have manaphy benched as well.

Dropped Magma Basin back to 1 and bumped Artazon back to 3 - because you usually don't have too many Fire Energies in the discard. I'd rather get the basic pokes out asap to evolve them quicker. Ideally, you want to swap out your active using Jet Energy instead of discarding energies to retreat, and Delphox puts it's Fire energies in the Lost Zone unfortunately. I think it's good to keep 1 Basin though.

 

Enjoy! Hope you have some fun with it. I've been very pleased with it's performance so far! 🙂

Maybe you could remove the extra vulpix and add rapidash from silver tempest to make your pokemon deal more damage

@Starmie23: that could be a possibility. Would make good use of extra Fire Energies if PoGo Zard is doubling them, and combos nicely with Magma Basin as well.

I'd have to cut 2 cards though to run a 1-1 Ponyta Rapidash. So I'd have to see if there's many situations where the extra 30 damage will be relevant. I usually like to run 1 more basic than evolution to ensure I get the basics down quicker/more reliably to evolve them asap. (4-3 Meowscarada and 3-2 Vespiquen in my main deck and 3-2 Kingambit in my other one) so cutting 1 charmander and 1 vulpix for another 1-1 line doesn't seem optimal, but I'll keep it in mind for sure!

 

Thanks for the comment and suggestion 😊

@Starmie23: Not sure what the main Meta will be once 151 releases, but currently Delphox hitting for 150 and PoGo zard hitting for 200 doesn't seem super crucial. Zard ex hitting for 240 is good for KOing basic Vs if opponent has only taken 1 prize though...

And zard ex isn't even fire type... so nevermind lol whoops. Yeah, I just don't think it's worth it or I'll have the room for rapidash. Thanks for the suggestion anyway though!

Just realized rapidash doesn't evolve from Vulpix 😐
