GLC Deck - Genetic Revolution: Butterfree/Jumpluff

A deck built around early game rapid evolution, GR is incredibly agile and pokey. Butterfree can evolve on turn 1 thanks to the insane abilities of Caterpie and Metapod, and the attack isn't half bad either. Panic Poison does 30 base damage, confuses, pings 10 for poison, and pings 20 for burn. Effectively 60 damage with 3 stackable special conditions and the ability to boost the damage with Muscle Band, Professor Kukui, and Lurantis. Jumpluff breathes a lot of life into this deck, allowing for multiple routes to victory on the early turns with powerful donk potentials. Jumpluff can't evolve on turn 1 like Butterfree, but it hits naturally harder thanks to the insanity that is Fluffy Barrage. This allows Jumpluff to attack twice per turn, turning a base 120 attack into a base 160/200/240 with the previously mentioned damage mods. The support lines are classic, Sawsbuck for draw, Grotle and Torterra for set up and late game attacking, and Kricketune for health buffs. The final thing to cover is Beedrill, who adds amazing consistency to the deck while giving it a respectable attacker. This deck frequently finds itself with small hands or hands that can be blitzed down, Beedrill solves this by giving you the freedom to play your cards aggressively and still have an out to draw into something to extend your turn even further. The trainers are heavy built on set up and consistency, but the energy count is thin. The few problems this deck faces are weird energy and attacker sequencing, and Wailord in general. The first thing is probably more skill issue, but Wailord may take some teching like extra gusts and enhanced hammer. Regardless, this deck has thoroughly impressed me in its initial games and I believe it will only get better with time. Discord @jaboingus for any thoughts or suggestions (o-o)
