GLC

Gallade can fetch any Supporter you need every turn while Malamar and Xatu serve as an Energy acceleration engine. Add to that the Dimension Valley Stadium and you can power Necrozma, Mewtwo, or Giratina in a single turn. If you find yourself 10HP short of finishing off an opponent's Pokémon, Giratina's Distortion Door Ability comes to the rescue while simultaneously fueling Scream Tail's Roaring Scream attack.

Water type boasts some of the highest HP Pokémon in the GLC format, Wailord chief among them. With 200 base HP and Luxurious Cape as an optional attachment, it's almost impossible to knock out in one hit. To help you set it up, the deck relies on impressive draw and search powers of Octillery and Inteleon while Baxcalibur, Frosmoth, and Starmie serve as some of the best Energy acceleration and recovery engines in the format. And even if Wailord were to somehow go down, a plethora of other impressive attackers - Kyogre, Lapras, Wishiwashi - are always ready to take its place.

The colorless archetype has the strongest and most consistent draw engines in the format. Search options, however, are limited. To balance the scales, the deck includes a larger than average amount of Trainers that help you set things up and hinder your opponent. As far as attackers go, this deck includes one of the strongest ones out there - Snorlax - as well as several other competent ones. They are easy to power too since the deck is full of Double Colorless Energy variants as well as a plethora of Trainers that help you ramp up fast.

It's almost inarguable that Grass is one of the most consistent types in the GLC format and this deck takes full advantage. With four Pokémon able to retrieve other Pokémon from the deck and one able to retrieve any card, it's not uncommon to see all this deck's key Pokémon fully set up in just a few turns. As if that wasn't potent enough, the deck also boasts very powerful Energy engines: Venusaur's Jungle Totem, which doubles all the Grass energy on all your Pokémon, and Rillaboom's Voltage Beat, which allows you to retrieve Grass Energy from your deck and immediately attach them. This impressive support allows you to set up equally impressive attackers, such as the hard-hitting Torterra or Tapu Bulu and the bulky Brambleghast.

This deck boasts one of the most impressive array of setup Abilities in the format: Dragonite and Gabite allow you to fetch any Supporter and any Dragon Pokémon from your deck on every turn while Regidrago and Drakloak provide solid draw support. Add to that some of the most powerful Basic attackers in the format - Regidrago, Drampa, Druddigon - and you can quickly see why this is one of the best deck archetypes in the meta.
