COMMENTS
Pangoro V's HP is equal to Zacian V's and likewise has a powerful ability which ends your turn. I thought it would be fitting for Pangoro's Mold Breaker ability to be functionally the same as the supporter card Bea. Pangoro's Parting Shot I think would work well as a late game attack after you don't need a stadium in play any more.
Stow-on-Side I think would be a good stadium for fighting decks as one of the drawbacks of many fighting pokemon is high retreat costs.

COMMENTS
300HP is the lowest for a VMAX, set in part due to the damage reduction of Falinks V.
MAX Defence's restrictions prevent cases of the opponent taking 0 prizes for a KO (outside of e.g. Life Dew). Additionally, two VMAXes are needed to give each other protection, maintaining the "additive benefit"/"swarm" theme seen on Falinks and Falinks V.
Max Coliseum is loosely based on No Retreat, the signature move of Falinks in the video games. It allows players to use cards like Boss's Orders, but not Escape Rope. In addition to good matchups against Fighting-weak decks, this slows the assault of Zacian V decks by forcing them to spend four energy to circumvent Brave Blade's restriction.
The support card is best used on a Falinks V that is suffering from the drawback of Giga Impact. It leaves the active, transfers energy, and gets to not only replace itself but also gives the owner access to a Falinks VMAX and baby Falinks. With MAX Defence, you only give up one prize.
The supporter is meant to give off a feeling losing a battle to win the war. This "advanced" tactic best fits Veterans, the most experienced Trainer Class.

ENTRY #4 - Valkyria [RABIDRAGON's CHOICE]

[F][F][F][F] Fists of Fury 100x Flip 4 coins. This attack does 100 damage times the number of heads. Weakness: Psychic Resistance: - Retreat Cost: 3 |

Bea ChampionTrainer / Stadium
Select 1 of your Pokemon in play. This turn, each Stage 2 Pokemon in play, in each player's hand, and each player's discard pile is treated as having that Pokemon's name. |
|
COMMENTS
At first glance, this Machamp is a terrible card. It's a Stage 2, has an ability that will almost never see play, and requires 4 fighting energy to attack. However, to the skilled deckbuilder, the possibilities are limitless. The Supporter card Bea Champion has a unique effect where every Stage 2 Pokemon has their name treated as your selected Pokemon for the turn, allowing you to more easily activate Machamp's ability. And with Super Boost Energy, you can attack with a single energy card allowing you to set up the One Turn Kill.
Now here's the kicker. Bea Champion changes all Stage 2 Pokemon to the Pokemon you select, and Machamp's ability allows any "Machamp" to attack 4 times. This allows you to customize your deck and have many variations depending on which Stage 2 Pokemon you want to be your OTKer.
I wanted to design something that is fun, competitive, but also balanced. I imagine that the inconsistency of getting out 4 Stage 2 Pokemon would squarely put this deck in the rogue category. However, there's nothing more satisfying than pulling off something difficult and winning in style.

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may attach up to 2 [F] energy cards from your discard pile to any number of your Benched [F] Pokémon. For each [F] energy card that is attached, put 1 damage counter on this Pokémon. You may not use more than 1 Abundant Harvest Ability each turn.

Trainer / Item / Tool
As long as this card is attached to a Pokémon with Landorus in its name, your [F] Pokémon take 40 less damage from your opponent’s attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Only 1 Reveal Glass effect may be applied at a time.
If this card is attached to a Pokémon that does not have Landorus in its name, discard this card.

COMMENTS
While thinking of a card concept, one thing I realized Fighting type Pokémon have struggled with is energy acceleration, so what better Pokémon to provide its allies with energy than Landorus, the Abundance Pokémon?
While Abundant Harvest accelerates energy very quickly, the drawback of having to damage itself leaves it prone to bench snipers such as Cramorant V. However, if you can avoid this, then Landorus’s attack synergizes nicely, doing more damage the more counters it has on itself. This attack can easily snowball and allow you to take cheap KOs on your opponent.
In the video games, the Reveal Glass is an item that can change certain Pokémon into their Therian Forms, including Landorus. The Therian Form of Landorus is infamous for its power and Intimidate ability in the VGC, so I tried to replicate this into the TCG. Intimidate lowers the opponent’s Pokémon’s attack stat, so the Reveal Glass card lowers the damage your opponent can do.

GigalithStage-2 / Fighting / 170 HP

COMMENTS
A good Gigalith is long due! This one can be cheated into play faster than an usual Stage 2, a bit like VV Beedrill. Its ability helps at discarding too which becomes useful for the attack. That one can reach high numbers in the right deck and could do pretty well paired with fellow 1-prizer CEC Steelix.
Boulder Energy would help that deck... but only the Fighting half of it, because it is worded in the old exclusive fashion. Attached to Gigalith this energy would make it immune to anything with less than 3 energies and a Tool attached. Bring your Sword to the fight Zacian V!

COMMENTS
Gliscor and Bertha brings entry hazards and all its related shenanigans into the TCG! In the video games, especially singles, entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes terrorize the metagame. 4x weak to Rock types Charizard lost 50% of their HP upon switching into Stealth Rocks (until they got boots in Gen 8). Stealth Rock here captures that effect: Rule Box Pokemon weak to Fighting take a lot of damage, those resistant only take a little. Bertha helps by making everything weak to Fighting for a turn (to help with rulings, any existing weaknesses and resistances are ignored). It is a strong effect, so it requires [F][C], but being able to knock Crobats to 80 HP and Dedenne-GX to 60 is very powerful. In the games, entry hazards on both sides of the field and certain lingering effects can be cleared with Defog. Defog has a Pokemon Ranger effect to reflect this. However, be careful as it removes Stealth Rock and Bertha if they have been used already.

COMMENTS
Since Corsola is a rock type and Machamp is fighting, they can be a really weird tag team card! I figured Corsola would spread damage around, and Machamp would use that damage to hit with a powerful punch. The special energy helps to boost Machamp's attack further, adding potentially 90 damage to the attack!

COMMENTS
Machamp is eventually going to get a V/VMAX so I thought making the V somewhat viable would be nice. The Champion's Belt item is somewhat similar to Karate belt but could be used to get that extra damage to knock out a tag team or vmax.

COMMENTS
Mudsdale is a combination support and spread Pokémon that can dig through your deck and deal additional damage to your opponent's bench for each additional Mudbray and Mudsdale.
Courtney is a chaotic card that has some interesting toolbox potential. The limitation on evolution stages is designed to prevent instant evolved Pokémon (for example T1 fossil lock) and avoids Lv. X's, LEGENDs, and BREAKS entirely because those rely on more than one card being in play. This card can open up new deck possibilities because it is a way to get evolved Pokémon into play without needing to include their pre-evolutions in the deck. Mudsdale can help fill your discard with Pokémon to get into play with Courtney.

COMMENTS
I like when the TCG prints Pokemon with their secondary type, and I have done so here by creating Poliwrath as a Fighting-type!
Water Absorb is an upgraded version of one of Poliwrath's actual abilities in the video games.
Focus Punch is a modified take on an attack which has only been used once back in the TCG’s Diamond/Pearl era. Here, the attack is strong and the energy cost is steep, but the 3 [C] portion allows it to work with Triple Acceleration Energy. In Expanded, its attack can be used for just the one [F] using Politoed's King's Song ability.
I wanted to make a Tool card that you could attach to your opponent’s Pokemon; this was briefly seen years ago with Team Flare Hyper Gear cards. I envision this as perhaps the first in a line of type-specific tools of this kind.
The intention would be to attach the tool card to your opponent’s Pokemon, making it Water-type; that keeps Poliwrath safe from damage; which in turn allows its Focus Punch attack to land.

The idea behind the Regirock's ability is an homage to RSE when to be able to to catch the at the time 3 regis you needed a wailord in the front of your party and a relicant'h in the back. The attack of the regirock is to show the power of the Regis while working in unison.
The stadium is designed to show the time before Regigigas pulled the continents together to create the world we know today. It says in books in sinnoh that in this time pokemon where more ferocious in their fighting but, they where not using attacks like they do now. More or less it was just biting and kicking so there seems to be no defined typing to the attacks nullifying weakness/resistance
