Custom Garchomp Deck. First post.

donavannj, Dec 11: Garchomp has no energy recovery available to it in the current format, its absolute floor should be 10 if it's all fighting, or 12 if it's a combo of TAE and Fighting energy, but no higher than 15.

Casual Deck: Zeraora

donavannj, Oct 27: For consistency of being able to strike with Discharge every turn? Magnezone. If you're only casual/at home, you can run cards like Lady or Professor's Letter to get your basic lightning energy cards.

Lost March

donavannj, Mar 13: Yeah crossing the 210/220 threshold is hard because I was running out of ways to lost zone more Pokemon by that point. But I'm also not running Choice Band at the moment which could probably fix that. Will apply some tweaks from your list...

Shiftry GX

donavannj, Nov 2018: I like all the suggestions. I will need an opportunity to parse out this list and actually trial the ideas. That said, I'm probably not gonna face much that's going to actually put the deck through its paces in the near term.

Expanded Garbodor/Golisopod GX

Hands, Nov 2018: Something like this would be better. You don't need the second Garb line. You only need the Garbotoxin one. Golisopod is always a 2 hitter (unless you run across something weak to grass) so choice Band is pointless too. You want to run thick lines...

Lapras GX deck
