Im gonna test it when ptcgl updates for Chaos Rising later, but I want the opinion of others. Im running Greninja with the Drakloak engine. Would it be better to use the new froakie for its collect attack, or would it be better to maybe mix them 2 and 2 and have the flock froakie pull other froakies onto bench and use my poffins mainly on dreepys?
Before you just comment no, just hear me out. The main issue that at least ive seen trying to play it is energy acceleration. Mega Gatr decks didnt have too good of acceleration before rotation, and now its objectively worse than it was. This issue forces you to play neo upper as youre ace spec. This supporter fixes the acceleration problem by setting Gatr up in one turn. If you can keep it protected on bench and then unleash it when its prepared, it could be decent. Idk man its midnight, im tired, its probably ass but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the card get shown off.
Most of Greninja's limitless results are pairing it with a Drakloak engine + 1 Pult, or a Dudunsparce engine, although there is a 3rd place result where it was paired with dusknoir and Mega Froslass which could be interesting. Just curious how others are gonna do it. Personally im gonna try out this 2nd place deck, but drop Lumiose City for maybe an Air Balloon/ Switch/ AZ's Tranquility.

Spent the morning rotating my decks since I finally have some time to, and my Mega Froslass deck came across my desk. I feel it was some of my best deck building, and it did well at the events it went to. That said I dont know how I want to rebuild it. Should I go pure Froslass, do the Starmie build thats been going around, or maybe try and find it a new partner?
