Zacian V

Thank you to JPEngineer on reddit.

New player and here is a try to a Turbo Zacian.

Use metal sauces and max elixirs to meet the energy cost of brave blade as early as your first turn.

Support Pokemon:

2x Dedenne GX - allows you to refresh your hand and see 6 new cards (this is avaialbe as a promo in the 2020 Trainer's Toolkit (red box) so should be quite cheap).

1x Crobat V - allows you to fill your current hand up to 6 cards included because Dedenne GX's ability cannot be used multiple times per turn

1x Crobat V - allows you to fill your current hand up to 6 cards included because Dedenne GX's ability cannot be used multiple times per turn so this gets around that (this is available as a promo in the 2021 Trainer's Toolkit (blue box) also should be cheap).

1x Tapu Lele GX - allows you to find any supporter from your deck especially something to refresh your hand like Professor or something to gust for game like Guzma (should be quite cheap since also avaialbe from celebrations)

Trainers

4x quick balls - gets out basic pokemon and gives 1 discard target ideally basic metal for metal saucer, thins hand to Crobat V for more cards, discards card from your hand so they don't go back into deck after your opponent plays N, just really versatile card

Field blower - can knock off 2 of any combination of stadium or pokemon tool cards (yours or your oppoenents), you dont want your oppoenent to get really good value out of a stadium, especially one that is adverse to you like silent labs to stop Zacian V's ability intrepid sword

Max elixir - attaches energy to a benched pokemon from the top 6 cards from their deck - Zacian V has a 3 metal energy attack cost, so quite expensive you need a way to meet that cost asap and max elixir with metal saucer gives you the most opportunities to attach more than the standard 1 manual energy attachment per turn.

Float stone - gives free retreat to the pokemon this card is attached to, excellent for moving something out of the active and something in. Excellent in Zacian V where you cannot perform consecutive brave blade attacks without switching in and out of the active slot. Also good to attach to your pivot pokemon (something that stays in the active slot whilst you power up an attacker on the bench so your opponent doesn't hit your attacker, something that has a benefit whilst being in the active that you may want to move later e.g. Jirachi from team up)

Guzma - allows you to switch your opponent's benched pokemon into their active slot and only if that happens you can switch as well - good for Zacian V so you can chain brave blade and bring up an easy to KO 2 prize pokemon

Professor (multiple flavors e.g. sycamore, juniper, research) - discards your hand seeing 7 fresh cards - essential to set up

Marnie or N - hand disruption cards - Marnie puts respective hands to the bottom of deck and draws 5 for you and 4 for your oppoenent, N shuffles and redraws the number of cards equals to prize cards remaing. So Marnie gives a more consistent number to each player, N has more comeback potential if you are really behind

Now computer search is important to know about lets you discard 2 cards from your hand and find any card in your deck, it is expensive but limitless tcg does have a proxy tool, you can just print one out and place on a spare basic energy

Trainer's mail , looks at the top 4 cards of your deck and you can pick a trainer you find there. You can only have a max 4 (a regular playset) of each card, so this is a good way to enhance your access to them, you just see more cards during your turn, also good because it is always a playable card so you can burn it and Crobat V for more cards if you are in a bind

VS seeker, lets you put a supporter from the discard pile back into your hand, lets you use supporters as discard targets with more peace of mind because you can recover them later and this pads out your supporter count

Maybe board:

Mew Fates Collide - a single prize pokemon able to copy attacks of basic pokemon on your side for their original energy cost useful to get around pokemon immune from multi prize pokemon (e.g. Darkness Ablaze Decidueye) and also great to cover weaknesses or make your opponent have an awkward prize trade

Some count of ultra balls depending on how many pokemon you have and how consisnt you want to be able to get pokemon out - this one discards 2 cards and allows you to find any pokemon from your deck, not just basics like quick ball

Muscle band - universal +20 base damage to any pokemon, allows brave blade to go from 230 base damage to 250, hits some thresholds of popular pokemon in expanded such as Pikachu & Zekrom GX (240hp) , Greninja & Zoroak GX (250hp), Gengar & Mimikyu GX (240hp)

Choice band - (See Muscle band)+30 damage to attack targetting any Gx or EX pokemon, allows brave blade to go from 230 base damage to 260.
