Energy: Dark
This deck is an assortment of general "good card" Dark type Pokemon where Zoroark ex acts as your primary damage dealer from the early game, needing only one energy. Not only that, but Zorua's one attack is about instantly pulling it from the deck to evolve, setting you up from a very early phase to be ready for combat (though damage scales by how full your own bench is).
From that point on the strategy varies depending on what's available to you. This is a pretty flexible deck build, though one that lacks a decisive "heavy hitter" to win you the game. Generally you want to use regular Absol or Zoroa as your opening active card, while keeping Bombirdier and Nihilego on the bench where they're most effective. Poison chip damage from the Barb should whittle down opponents enough to finish them off with Absol ex or Zoroark, and the former's ability to get them to discard Supporter cards should ensure that they have less options than normal.
