Opponent dead drew.
Rd.2:
Gardeon W
Pulled off a turn two Tag Bolt for 260 on his fully powered Gardeon, never recovered.

Top 8:
ADP/Keldeo LWW
Used Tag Bolt GX with 3 electropowers all 3 games on ADP. First game, opponent PokeCom’d a Heracross and used Turn the Tables to put my only card on the field into my deck. Game 2 opponent was put in a corner and moved to game 3 to save time. Won game 3 by being ahead in prizes 4-2
Top 4:
Control LL
Seriously though, I hate control.
Overall, I think PikaRom has a really niche spot in the meta. A lot of players wrote it off due to its’ bad matchups. While that’s true, it niche is that nobody sees it coming and nobody techs for it. Today shows it can still hit like a truck early with electropowers.
Only change to my list is i would try to find room for either a Hoopa, second Guzma & Hala, or both. I would absolutely NOT cut Phione or Faba for these.
