Yes I know it's another LuxChomp Decklist, but I thought I'd share what I'm comfortable with running.
Any suggestions are of course welcome!

2-2 Luxray GL LvX
2-2 Garchomp C LvX
2-1 Uxie LvX
1 Ambipom G
1 Dragonite FB
1 Bronzong G
1 Crobat G
1 Toxicroak G
1 Azelf
1 Unown Q
1 Lucario GL
1 Smeargle
1 Roserade GL

4 Cyrus's Conspiracy
3 Pokemon Collector
2 Bebe's Search
4 Poke-Turn
3 Power Spray
3 Energy Gain
2 Sp Radar
1 Aaron's Collection
2 Premier Ball
1 Vs Seeker
1 Junk Arm
1 Luxury Ball

3 Call Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
3 Electric Energy
1 Psychic Energy
1 Warp Energy

The strategy of the deck isn't any different to any other Luxchomp build.


LuxChomp's strategy is not so unique.This deck is a lot about not letting your opponents finish building up attackers, and a good LuxChomp player will make sure there opponent hopefully never gets a fully powered beast on the field. An example would be Machamp. If Machamp gets going, Uxie LV.X and Lucario GL will not be enought to hold back a swarm of Machamps. With a consistent build and the right idea of when to Dragon Rush and when to Bright Look, LuxChomp becomes an incredibly hard deck to beat.

Looks good, i would say 3-1 garchomp but that's all about your meta. I would
+1 arrons, recovery is great!
-1 ambipom, great card but in my opinion dragonite does the work for you
or
-1 premier ball, premier helps since it'll allow the reuse of uxie x in the machamp match up.. but i think machamps are running vileplumes now?
 
Switch out Luxury Ball for Pokemon Communication. Communication lets you get Level X cards whereas Luxury Ball does not. You'll likely always have spare pokemon in your hand to be communicated.
 
Dialga G LvX doesn't necessarily counter vileplume.
Usually it's in a VileGar decklist which includes Gengar LvX which would shuffle Dialga back into my deck.
You'd get one turn of using trainers, and that's it, not worth the space.
 
gengar lvx cannot shuffle dialga back into the deck coz most sp decks will run power spray
GL Power spraying him while your probally already wasted them to Uxie drops to prevent him getting Gengar Lv.X.
And still the max Power Spray drops of this decklist is only 4.
4 Turns trainers isnt that great

Four turns is enough to beat the deck and win the match, between that and aggressive bright looks, they can sweep the game if an opening presents itself.
 
Take out the Ambipom G for a Twins. Twins helps against fast Gyaradoses and can help you make ridiculous comebacks in SP mirror matches (Twins for Cyrus's and DCE? Yes please).

I'd also change the Garchomp line to 3-1. A 3-1 Chomp line is much more aggressive in the mirror match, and you run 2 Premier Ball, so the inconvenience of only having one Lv.X will be minimal. It makes it much easier to keep one fresh Garchomp on the field at any time, which helps you set up the aforementioned Twins comebacks, and it also gives you better odds of pulling off a T2 Dragon Rush.

If you think 4 turns is not enough, then play more junk arm to replay them.
 
4 Turns are fine, if you play them correctly and don't waste them.
And ask stated, Junk arm gives you the 5th turn.

Second Aaron's is pointless..if you need to use it twice, get it back with VS Seeker. It's too dead a card to play early on.
 
I play 2 premier ball 1 aarons, BUT if your meta is heavy vilegar 2 aarons 1 premier goes the distance.

Dgx doesn't hand you the vilegar match but it does help, even 1 turn of trainers empties your hand and reduces gengars damage output. Not to mention you can spray level down over and over with cyrus/ junk arm. Also poketurns let you brightlook vileplume again.
But don't cut ambipom that's just dumb.
