    Interested to know which Trainers people are using/planning to use from S&M onwards.

    Also, if you had to only use S&M onwards which would become your 'staples'.

    Obviously some are deck/style specific but interested to know, especially for Dark decks.

    Thanks in advance.

    Post Su/Mo only you'd see Lillie, Kukui, Hala, Mallow, Nest Ball, the hammers, Energy Switch, Choice Band, Swtich, Aqua Patch, Rare Candy, Ultra Ball, Field Blower etc

    But for the overall format, all of the above will be widely used alongside N, Sycamore, Hex Maniac, Delinquent, Lysandre, max Elixir, Float Stone, Olympia etc.

    There are no "type based" trainers for dark right now, but decks like Speed Darkrai use EXP share, max elixirs, Energy Switch, Escape Rope etc

    Quoted the wrong post again, but in reply to the dark thing:

    Your trainer line, rather than being based on type (bar Aqua Patch or similar), should be based on style. For example, if you are playing a deck that uses a large amount of non-Tapu Lele Basics, run Nest Ball. If you are running a deck that needs a ton of Double Colorless Energy like Vespiquen, run Special Charge to recover it. If you are running a deck with Stage 2s that isn't Grass-typed, of course you should run Rare Candy.

    I wouldn't worry about planning for a SM-on format anytime soon, most likely that won't happen until September 2019.
