Top 10 Pokémon Cards with Control-Style Potential

Here are 10 Pokémon cards I think can breakout into control-style decks, whether casual or competitive, given the current state of the meta with a slight look into the next expansions. Also, I didn't realize until after the fact that Drakloak has the same ability as Pidgeotto for Pidgeotto control. And what I call "Stellar Miracle" is the Japanese name for the Western "Stellar Crown".
Check out the Discord where you can upload and discuss your own control-style decks 😎: / discord
As for the thumbnail, from the Black & White 2 game: Colress's machine is "a special device that wrings out the potential of Pokémon. It is an imperfect prototype."

Drakloak control looks like pidgeotto control but decafeinated

But the BS (Brilliant Stars) Lucario has a potencial, but Raging Bolt has replaced him. I think his ability could heal 20 damage to 1 benched Pokémon, but the deck i did for this is awesome for a turbo deck, but if i putthe shuffle effect it can be a fast victory, but if we add dusknoir, we can do a faster victory. here is the deck:
Pokémon (17)
2 Arceus V (SWSH Black Star Promos)
1 Diancie (Astral Radiance)
2 Galarian Zapdos (SWSH Black Star Promos)
2 Jirachi (SM Black Star Promos)
4 Lucario (Brilliant Stars)
2 Lumineon V (Brilliant Stars)
4 Riolu (Vivid Voltage)
Trainer (26)
2 Bea (Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery)
2 Bede (Crown Zenith)
4 Brock's Grit (Team Up)
4 Energy Switch (Scarlet & Violet)
3 Lady (Lost Origin)
3 Martial Arts Dojo (Cosmic Eclipse)
4 Potion (Scarlet & Violet)
4 Rock Chestplate (Scarlet & Violet)
Energy (17)
13 Fighting Energy (Crown Zenith)
2 Stone Fighting Energy (Vivid Voltage)
2 Strong Energy (Furious Fists).
Note: use the deck if you want.
Wish you have a good day, Sonic.

Sounds like a cool deck for expanded!

i think this list qualifies more for being a pile of bulk than a deck dawg
