Other S Tier decks

• Mega Absol EX / Darkrai EX / Hoopa EX
  I rank it in S tier because it can create immediate pressure with several complementary attackers. The list has an excellent balance between damage, mobility, disruption and consistency.
• Mega Sceptile EX / Butterfree
  This is probably one of the most consistent. Caterpie, the draw engine, Quick-Grow Extract and the two Stadiums significantly accelerate the setup of Mega Sceptile EX.
• Vespiquen ex / Shuckle ex
  The deck can handle many matchups thanks to Shuckle ex in the early game and Vespiquen ex's 140 damage. The ability to discard a damaged or obsolete Pokémon makes its game plan particularly stable.
• Magnezone / Oricorio / Miraidon ex
  Deck heavily represented in top decks, with Miraidon acting as a flexible finisher and strong sleep-counterplay.
• Mega Sceptile ex / Pheromosa / Teal Mask Ogerpon ex
  S tier: tournament-winning deck (500+ players), with strong Bench pressure, Fragrant Forest to stabilize Grass Basics and Ogerpon to improve certain matchups. It is a very good for climbing to Masterball.
• Mega Sceptile / Kartana / Chingling
  S tier: this deck is presented as the winner of a 500+ player tournament, with strong damage, stadium control, and several attack lines. The Grass stadium replaces Poké Ball in this version and gives the deck excellent consistency.
