Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Buzzapdos
This is an all or nothing ("donk") deck. It's designed to plow through your deck to set up Zapdos and Voltorbs on turn one then evolve into Electrodes and attack with Zapdos on turn two. It's a very high risk, high reward strategy that won't always work. But when it does, the game will be over in just a couple of turns.

Lickimill
This deck aims to stall the opponent through low-cost attacks with chance of paralysis (Lickitung), denial of attack on the next turn (Magmar, Chansey), and neutralizing Pokémon Powers (Muk). When the game nears the end, it's Moltres' time to shine as its Wildfire attack ensures the opponent will run out of cards in their deck first.

Lickistall
Designed to outlast the popular aggressive decks in the format, this deck employs a variety of tricky Pokémon that dish out low damage but are difficult to knock out quickly. Ideally, the opponent is forced to burn through their resources in pursuit of knockouts while the combo of Mewtwo and Mr. Fuji on your side ensure that you will never be the first to run out of cards in the deck.

Stallakazam
The idea behind this deck is to set up an Alakazam or two and some high HP Pokémon in your bench while Mr. Mime sits in the active spot. Using Alakazam's Damage Swap Pokémon Power, you are then able to consistently move damage counters off of Mr. Mime to your benched Pokémon and eventually heal them with Pokémon Center.
The deck does feature some decent attackers - like Scyther and Kangaskhan - but your primary win condition here is not to take prizes - it's to run your opponent out of cards in their deck.

Wiggly-chan
Hitmonchan usually suffers from three notable shortcomings: it has high retreat cost, weakness against Psychic type, and is generally useless against many popular Pokémon in the format with Fighting resistance (e.g. Scyther). On the flip side, however, it's a very useful attacker against the many Fighting-weak Colorless Pokémon as it can dish out 40 damage against them for one Fighting Energy, which is very good.
The beauty of this deck is that it effectively sidesteps all Hitmonchan's problematic elements with the help of Dodrio's Retreat Aid, allowing it to be freely retreated or promoted.
Oh, and Wigglytuff's in the deck too. You know, the best attacker in the format.

Magmabuzz
A variation of the legendary Haymaker deck which swaps the sometimes awkward Hitmonchan with Magmar. With no Fire resistant Pokémon in the format it cannot be easily countered and it enjoys a lower retreat cost.
I built the deck because of how legendary the Haymaker-style decks were. I figured that while it may not be the best archetype around anymore, it would still hold its own. Sadly, it became apparent after just a few games that the days of glory for this deck type are long past. Any decks based around Lickitung or Wigglytuff thoroughly outclass it.
