I'm trying to make a Banette ex deck, help!

I can't decide whether to incorporate Banette ex into a Gardevoir ex deck or a Lost Box deck. I have all the Pokemon for the Lost box deck, but hardly anything for the Gardevoir ex deck.

    I would lean towards Lost Box, for several reasons:

    1) If you already have lost box, then it will cost less than buying cards for Gardevoir.

    2) Gardevoir ex decks do not usually have much spare room, so it might feel clunky trying to add in Banette ex.

    3) Banette ex does not require many energy at all, so you don’t need play it with Gardevoir ex.

    4) Banette ex has great synergy with lost box because, like Sableye, it requires Psychic Energy, and its attacks are cheap.

    That’s just my input, though. Ultimately it’s up to you!

    If you already have all the stuff for lost box, then just play lost box and forget about Banette ex. it's not that good, Everlasting Darkness does too little damage, and Poltergeist can be played around.

    I guess it depends on which attack you're playing it for. If you're playing it with Poltergeist, then I would go with Lost box, thanks to the one psychic and one colorless attack cost; this pairs perfectly with mirage gate. If you're playing it for the item lock effect, then maybe pair it with Gardevoir. It can be your early game attacker, for stall while you get set up, and it can also get some set up damage so that Gardevoir CRE can come in and clean up later on. Plus, if it gets knocked out, then you'll be behind on prizes, so Reversal energy and Iono can become very useful and you can just take the game back with all the comeback cards.
