Decklists

Alex Schemanske, 3rd - Zygarde-GX/Lycanroc-GX

Player notes:

• "The deck was a last minute decision...[it] was not at all well-positioned for this event, and I would not play this unless you expect to play against 90% Zoroark-GX decks."
• "I would cut one Zygarde-GX for a [Zygarde FLI 72]." 
• "I wish I had played 4 Guzma but there wasn't space"
• [Bonnie] is a bad card. I used Verdict GX maybe 7 times throughout the match, and Bonnie is hard to find with only 1 Lele." 

Angel Garciá Loya, 5th - Buzzwole/Garbodor
This is the same list that Ian Robb used to take 4th place at the 2018 Madison Regionals.

Aaron Rozbicki, 7th - Buzzwole/Lycanroc-GX
This finish earned Rozbicki his 2018 Worlds invite.

Jimmy Pendarvis, 8th - Buzzwole/Lycanroc-GX
Caleb Gedemer, Azul Garcia Griego, and Joe Ruettiger also played the same 60. 

Daniel Altavilla, 11th - Buzzwole/Lycanroc-GX
Isaiah Williams used the same 60 to finish 28th. 

Pablo Meza, - Zoroark-GX/Golisopod-GX

Player notes:

• "Latios was the MVP of the weekend"

Drew Allen, - Dawn Wings Necrozma/Garbodor
