You guys already know Rainbow Road. The point of posting this is more because I replaced my Leles with Marshadows and my Brigettes with Pokemon Fanclubs and it's working really well. It's a lot more fun to play this way. I just got used to playing Marshadow.

Pokemon: 17
4 Xerneas (BKT)
2 Joltik (STS)
2 Galvantula (STS)
2 Pawniard (STS)
1 Bisharp (STS)
2 Oranguru (SUM)
1 Marshadow GX (CRI)
2 Marshadow (SHL)
1 Volcanion EX (STS)

Supporters: 13
4 Cynthia
2 N
1 Sycamore
3 Guzma
2 Pokemon Fan Club
1 Ninja Boy

Items: 17
4 Ultra Ball
3 Max Elixir
2 Rescue Stretcher
2 Field Blower
3 Float Stone
3 Choice Band

Energy: 13
4 Double Colorless Energy
9 Fairy Energy

Your thoughts?

I'm not sure you need Brooklet Hill, since it'll only be useful for Marshadow GX and Volcanion. Ultra Ball would be better for finding them. You could also try adding in Xerneas BREAK for more damage (I played a similar deck at league)

It's very improbable for Xerneas BREAK's attack to do more than Rainbow Force. I might toss Brooklet Hill but probably for an extra Oranguru or Max Elixir. Possibly Gladion but I'm never really sure whether it's a good card.

Substituting BH for either of those options are good (personally I'd pick the max elixir). Yeah, looking back at it Rainbow Force would do more damage than Xerneas BREAK

So I've been playing it for a bit, and I was having a problem with dead cards in my hand due to too many Pokemon, which doesn't work with Oranguru very well. My plan was to take out the Bisharp line (although I love the artwork) and replace it with one Max Elixir, one Choice Band, and a basic of either dark, metal, or dragon type. I don't have a lot of good options for that though.
